Dynasty

Dynasty Gordon Thomson Gossip Jack Coleman John James

DYNASTY GUYS JUST MIGHT SPILL THE BEANS!

What better place to have a Dynasty “reunion” than Palm Springs? Many fans of the iconic 1980’s series have retired there! Jack Coleman (he played Steven Carrington), John James (Jeff Colby) and Gordon Thomson (Adam Carrington) are premiering their new stage show called Our Dynasty: Tales From The Set at Oscar’s in Palm Springs on December first. They plan to reminisce about the fan favorite storylines, behind the scenes gossip, and unexpected situations. For example: what happened when Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson paid a surprise visit to the set, and why was George Peppard REALLY fired? Don’t expect a lot of dish about Joan Collins because she is still VERY much alive and listening! Hopefully the 3 actors will have a few drinks pre-show and loosen up…

Dynasty Emma Samms Heather Locklear Joan Collins Long Covid Nolan Miller

WE CAN ADD A LITTLE “DYNASTY” TO OUR DRAB WORLD

Die-hard Dynasty fans (you know who you are) are in for a pandemic treat on Zoom and everyone around the world can join in! The theme of the virtual cast reunion is to “celebrate the influence of Dynasty on pop culture.” Emma Samms (she replaced Pamela Sue Martin as Fallon Carrington on the show) organized the reunion – the first big one since the show went off the air in 1989. Some of the actors haven’t seen each other since the show ended. We’re told almost EVERY main character still ALIVE is participating. Nolan Miller’s fashions will be prominently featured and discussed. Al Corley and Jack Coleman, who both played the role of gay Steven Carrington (before and after plastic surgery-) will be there too. Linda Evans is very excited about it and EVERYONE is counting on Joan Collins to participate. (We bet she will – isn’t she the most successful cast member?) Heather Locklear volunteered to reminisce about her time on the show. The event is for a good cause: Emma Samms put it together to raise money for long covid research. She caught covid a year ago and has been suffering the long term effects ever since. A hospital in England is researching long covid and the Dynasty reunion will raise money for the hospital.

Dynasty Ikea Joan Collins Mask

PICTURE ALEXIS CARRINGTON SHOPPING AT IKEA

Can you imagine Dynasty star Joan Collins eating Ikea’s Swedish meatballs? When she posted this photo on Instagram, Joan confessed that she had been scolded by a security guard when when was reading the menu at an Ikea restaurant in France. She was wearing a plastic face shield instead of a mask and was told that a mask was essential. She was obviously miffed, but pulled on a mask under the shield. We are totally amused at the idea of Joan Collins eating in the discount cafeteria at Ikea! Currently, the still playful Joan (who is now an unbelievable 87) is stylishly isolating with her 55 year old husband Percy in St Tropez.

Dallas Dynasty Linda Evans Patrick Duffy

BLAST FROM THE PAST: LINDA EVANS AND PATRICK DUFFY IN MONACO

No sooner did The National Enquirer write about Dynasty star Linda Evans “Living out her days alone as a recluse” than Linda turned up at a Princess Grace tribute in Monaco with pony-tailed Dallas star Patrick Duffy. (TWO 80’s primetime soap stars!) Linda DOES live on a 70 acre ranch in Washington state -she moved there to be closer to JZ Knight, a “spiritual advisor” who has been described as a cult leader. Knight claims to “channel” a 35,000 year old “spirit” who gives advice. She may lack common sense, but Linda has always been an exceptionally nice and kind person – especially with fans. Nice to see she’s out and about…

Dallas Dynasty Joan Collins Linda Gray

IT TURNS OUT ALEXIS CARRINGTON AND SUE ELLEN EWING ARE FRIENDS!

Dynasty diva Joan Collins (Alexis) and Dallas diva Linda Gray (Sue Ellen) actually had dinner together last night at Craig’s. Back in the day these women were highly competitive. The 80’s soap stars are currently both enjoying a resurgence of roles for mature women in Hollywood, thanks to cable. Linda is appearing for the second season on a soap called Hilton Head Island and Joan does occasional guest spots on shows like American Horror Story and Hawaii Five-O. Of course, Joan is always working on a book of some kind- she’s churned out 18 publications already.

Dogs Dynasty Nicollette Sheridan

NICOLLETTE SHERIDAN IS ANYTHING BUT DESPERATE

We love celebrities who love their dogs and aren’t too self-important to walk them. Nicollette Sheridan’s husbands and boyfriends may come and go, but her dogs always remain first in her heart and she takes them everywhere. The former Desperate Housewives star has some big shoes to fill with her job on the CW’s new Dynasty. She’s playing the Joan Collins role of the glamorous and manipulative Alexis Carrington. A major fringe benefit is the fact that Alexis has the most fabulous wardrobe…

"Dynasty" Joan Collins Lady Gaga

LADY GAGA IS ALEXIS CARRINGTON TODAY!

We have the feeling that Lady Gaga watched a lot of Dynasty while she was growing up. She walked out of her hotel this morning on her way to Good Morning America dressed like Joan Collins! Did Nolan Miller come back to life and design this power pink hat and coat? The coat draped on the shoulders is VERY Alexis Carrington, but Joan rarely showed that much leg…

"Dynasty" Fashion Jane Fonda Oscars

JANE FONDA LOOKED GLAM IN SPITE OF HER DYNASTY GOWN NOT BECAUSE OF IT

All this fuss over Jane Fonda! Granted, the actress is in formidable shape and looked great at the Oscars but her dress was another story. We love yellow, but this shade of day-glow yellow was painful to look at and the shoulderpads were SO eighties! Jane looked as if she raided Joan Collins’ dressing room on the set of “Dynasty.” We do love that she wolfed down an In-N-Out Burger on the street after the Oscar show.

Book Linda Evans

LINDA EVANS IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE CANDY SPELLING

“Dynasty” star Linda Evans is pictured here at The Grove doing an interview with Mario Lopez. She’s promoting her autobiography “Recipes for Life: My Memories” and we’re betting most of her memories are nice. Linda has a reputation as a sweetheart in Hollywood. When she was on “Dynasty” she couldn’t go many places without being mobbed by fans and she stopped to sign EVERY autograph and greet EVERY fan so it took her forever to go anywhere. We didn’t realize her first husband John Derek pushed her to pose nude for Playboy and she wasn’t happy about it. He later left her for 30 years younger Bo Derek.

BAFTA Emma Samms Reunion Stephanie Beacham

DYNASTY STARS EMMA SAMMS, JOAN COLLINS, AND STEPHANIE BEACHAM- WITHOUT THE SHOULDER PADS

It’s an impromptu “Dynasty” reunion at the BAFTA Awards in London. The show went off the air in 1989 and it’s remarkable how glamorous these three English leading ladies – Emma Samms, Joan Collins, and Stephanie Beacham, still look. We hunted for an old photo of them together on the Dynasty set for comparison, but apparently they never had a scene together. We DO remember Joan Collins insisting that producer Aaron Spelling provide REAL – and expensive- champagne for drinking scenes, and she would only wear genuine diamonds – no fakes.
