Did you know the CW is bringing back DYNASTY? Probably will not be

nearly as good as the TNT version of Dallas - especially since they
are using different people.

From DL

All together now: Fuck you, Grant Show, you’re not my Blake

Carrington! You can’t tell me what to do!

TNT’s revival of Dallas worked for me, because they used the

original actors (in their original roles) and also brought in new
youngins. But The CW isn’t doing that with their blasphemous Dynasty
reboot. They’re bringing it into modern day (goodbye shoulder pads and
Nolan Miller eleganza) and it doesn’t look like they’re using any of
the original actors. They’re using the characters, though, and just
recasting them. It’s a straight-up remake with strangers in it!

So yeah, in this GIF, the role of The CW is being played by

Dominique Deveraux and the role of our childhood is being played by
Alexis Carrington.

It’s already been announced that Gossip Girl creators, Josh

Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are writing the pilot script along with
Sallie Patrick. The new Dynasty will still focus on the feud between
two rivals, but Alexis vs. Krystle has been replaced with Fallon vs.
Cristal. Like the original, Fallon is Blake and Alexis’ daughter and
Cristal is about to become her new stepmother. Cristal is now a
Hispanic woman who is marrying into a WASPY ass rich family.

Nathalie Kelly has already been cast as Cristal and Elizabeth

Gillies is the new Fallon. Sam Adegoke will play the new Jeff Colby
and Robert Christopher Riley will play the Carrington family’s driver.
And today Deadline reported that Jake Hanson from Melrose Place is
Blake Carrington 2.0. May the angels gently hold the late John
Forsythe close before telling him that he’s been shamelessly replaced

I love Grant Show and I’m all for him getting more jobs, but there

can only be one Blake Carrington! I was going to write nothing but
“WHY???” over and over again in this post, but I’m saving that for if
they announce that someone other than Dame Joan Collins is playing
Alexis.

And all my bitching and moaning aside, if Dynasty 2.0 gets picked

up, I’ll be in front of my couch 30 minutes before it premieres,
snorting Red Bull and taping my eyelids to my eyebrows so that I won’t
miss a second of its first episode. I’m so easy.
