Dynasty - 1st Season Cover with Blake, Krystle...and ???
It's been almost a month since we revealed all the details for Dynasty - The Complete 1st Season, a set of 4 double-sided DVDs that hits stores on April 19th. Now we finally have the cover art to share with you as well.
We've had some people challenge our statement in the previous news post that Joan Collins ("Alexis") didn't appear in the first season. Shame on you all; you must have missed the recent documentary telefilm Dynasty: The Making of a Guilty Pleasure. It was a satisfactory telling of the stories that went on behind-the-scenes of the classic primetime soap opera. In it, it shows in a straightforward way the accurate depiction of how, near the end of the first season, the producers/writers were pressured to introduce a new character to help boost the ratings, and target rival primetime soap Dallas. They grabbed onto the idea of Blake Carrington's ex-wife, who was initially called "Madeline", coming in and basically being "a female J.R."
For the role of Blake's bitchy ex, the folks behind the show wanted to cast a big-name, well-known female star. Those considered for the role included Elizabeth Taylor, Raquel Welch, and Sophia Loren. They obviously didn't take it, though, and with the end of the season approaching they latched onto the gimmick of showing a veiled lady entering the courtroom at the last moment, and freeze-framing the shot there for the cliffhanger. In the off-season, Joan Collins was finally hired, and formally introduced in the 2nd-season opener, "Enter Alexis".
Whew! Sorry for the history lesson, but now you understand why the lady on the left is hidden by her hat and veil. Joan's character, as well as that of Heather Locklear's "Sammy Jo", show up full throttle in the next DVD release. But before we get to that, we have to get started with the Carrington clan in Dynasty - The Complete 1st Season. Here's the box you'll look for on store shelves this coming April:
