    • Quotes

      Alexis Carrington Colby: Are you also concerned about what's happening to my son?

      Dana Waring Carrington: [sweetly] Yes, I love Adam very much.

      Alexis Carrington Colby: [sarcastic] Oh, you worshiped him from afar, but you never dared to talk to him. Then when you found out that he was a Carrington, you made your move.

      Dana Waring Carrington: [flings the paper work she'd been busy with aside] That is sick, Alexis!

      Alexis Carrington Colby: No, Dana. What is sick is what you are doing to my son. I have just had to go and bail him out of jail.

      Dana Waring Carrington: What?

      Alexis Carrington Colby: Yes. The police found him lying drunk in an alley. And you know what happened when I went to see him? He told me to leave.

      Dana Waring Carrington: Look, Alexis, I'm sorry for what has happened to Adam, but for you to blame me...

      Alexis Carrington Colby: Yes, yes, I do blame you. And I hold you responsible for what's happening with Adam. For my own son, to run away from me, you know what that means?

      Dana Waring Carrington: My God, I have tried to tell everyone that something is wrong with Adam. Except nobody would listen to me. And that includes you, Alexis.

      Alexis Carrington Colby: [lowers her eyes, stands up, moves away, sits down deep in thought] That's right, you have been trying to tell us. All right, let's find out what it is. Now I'm listening.

    Ol' Alexis confronting Dana, blaming her for all the ills befalling Adam? Now that's the tiger snarling at the bunny. But, once again, I was glad to see that DYNASTY scriptwriters didn't make a cardboard character of series villainess Alexis. She does have a heart, she reasons, and she realizes a mistake (when Dana reminded her of the many times she tried asking people what was wrong with Adam).

    The episode really called for Leann to play a big part, and she did great. I have noticed that she does the widened- eyes thing a bit too unconvincing, but as one of the newcomers (in an important role) she is in there with them all.

    Allow me the little snide comment to little rosy-cheeked Danny boy: You can't act, little fella, gonna be a short stint in Hollywood... :)

    Young Krystina (Jessica Player), here the trick obviously was to get her to talk about fairy-tales, the rest, that charming giggle, follows naturally.

    Thirty years ago, I know. But one of the most likable TV shows ever. Yeah, I criticized it heavily at the start of this season. But it has proved me wrong. The seventh season has proved itself.
