Well I’m bored already…
The CW has released a trailer for its Dynasty reboot which features Aussie Alan Dale.
A modern take that follows two of America’s wealthiest families, the Carringtons and the Colbys, as they feud for control over their fortune and their children. The series centers on two women at odds: Fallon Carrington, daughter of billionaire Blake Carrington (Grant Show), and her soon-to-be stepmother, Cristal (Nathalie Kelley), a Hispanic woman marrying into this WASP family and America’s most powerful class. The drama also promises to expose “the dark underbelly” of the one percent: a corrupt world built on backroom deals, betrayal, and, in some cases, murder.

It’s just a typical offering from The CW, smut. If that’s all it has going for it then I hope the actors update their resumes in readiness for when it’s not renewed.
Lets remember these older series as they were and not try and copy them it never seems to work as you always compare them with the original cast members and story lines. Let sleeping dogs lie.
The trailer says “This Fall”
I read it as “This Fail”
I really want to give it a go but ……
Always have to throw in the smutty scenes. Is this the only way to gain an audience now? Doubt it will get a 2nd season
That’s Australian actress Nathalie Kelley as Cristal (OK, born in Peru but moved her when she was 2) – probably best known as the girl in the video for Bruno Mars’ “Just The Way You Are”. Somehow, I doubt this show is going to significantly enhance her resume!
Good info thanks.
I only know her as Sybil, in The Vampire Diaries.
Steven Carrington is also played by an Aussie actor too, James Mackay, whose had quite a few roles in Aussie series.
Well they certainly ain’t no Joan Collins and Linda Evans!! Failure written all over it in my book
Ugh…It will be awful is this is a hit. It will decicrate the memory of one of the 80s most iconic and fabulous shows.
And all those network people paid squillions of dollars to get a trailer / launch right. It’s too long. If the show is bad keep it short!
Basically the whole story/plotline is shown in the clip, the rest you can fill in yourself. Alan Dale thrown in to give it some weight, it is not enough to match the original in terms of actors. This current lot is bland and too one-dimensional.
Alan Dale – weight?! Fine enough actor, but he’s never been able to pull off gravitas without it seeming either double-cheesy or sleazy. Though from the looks of it that fits right in and he might just be the best thing in this silly mess.
And yes, it looks like they’ve missed the whole point of “trailer”…
Wow! Such bad acting. This will be a big flop. Now wait for a reboot of Knots Landing or Falcons Crest!
Ugh I’m with you David…. why???
So it looks as though I’m one of the 1% of the 1% who is actually looking forward to it. (Or they won me over with the men in bed together!) 🙂
At least it might be better than MKR or The Block, I say give it a chance.
I enjoyed the Melrose Place remake CW made years ago. Dallas was average. This is freakin terrible from that trailer.
Not even so bad it’s good, bad
I think I would rather staple my manhood to my leg than watch that
A pale imitation. The actresses playing Fallon & Krystle come across as wooden in the trailer.
Waste of time and effort. They need to stop making reboots.
