Dynasty Catfights And Caveur Reunion

( bright, sweeping theme music playing ) BLAKE CARRINGTON: This was the road to the Carrington family mansion, a road that lead to endless luxury, love and conflict. And within this affluent world, were two very different women, each, in her own way, the crown jewels of my dynasty. Captioning sponsored by CBS ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Oh, darling. You look great. Oh, it's so good to see you. Thank you. Come in. Look at this. Oh, how fabulous to be back. Yes. And I'd like to start things off with a toast. I've noticed on most reunions, they usually break out the champagne at the end of the show, but after all, darling, this is Dynasty. To our 25th anniversary. And how it all began. SAMMS: Dynasty was about a very rich family, and the joy of it was that all their money didn't make them happy. Come inside. We'll talk. No. No, you talk too well, Blake. OXENBERG: It really was a prototype for dysfunctional, wealthy people. And that larger-than-life behavior is always fascinating. Well, here's your answer. ( screams ) BELLWOOD: It touched a nerve at a time when people wanted to be glamorous, when people wanted to be powerful, and when people wanted to see people that were like that suffer. ( screaming ) ESTHER SHAPIRO: We thought we would try to do a show that doesverything you're not supposed to do on television. Let's write about the extraordinarily rich that people don't see. There's going to be a large, fat check waiting for you. SHAPIRO: The title was originally Oil. And ABC hated that title, so they came up with Dynasty. The beginning of the show was really the entrance of this secretary, Krystle, into this extraordinary life-- being married to a real tycoon. BLAKE: Mrs. Carrington, I love you. And I love you. I think that everybody's under the illusion that if you're rich you have no problems, and we showed them that it's a complex life You do not survive by giving anytng away. The wolves are never the sheep, and if you're a sheep, you get killed and you get eaten because that's the way it is in this world. FORSYTHE: He was such a strong character, so varied, so multifaceted. If he had problems, it was within the family. Well, how the hell can anybody respect the opinion of a man who put his hands on another man? I could have endowed a foundation, the Steven Carrington Institute for the Treatment and Study of Faggotry. CORLEY: Billy Crystal had done a gay character on a show called Soap. but that was a comedy, and so, from a dramatic point of view, it was the first time. Get your hands off my son! Dad, we were... I said get your hands off him! RICHARD SHAPIRO: Blake Carrington was, as we suggested all of the characters were, on the side of the angels. And if he did some things occasionally, like kill his son's gay lover, those things happened. ESTHER: The network really wanted a kind of a J.R. character, and we felt that this actress, whoever she was, had to be beautiful. Blake, when I'm ready, when I need a trump card, FORSYTHE: Joan Collins was a tremendous plus to the show. I expected that she was going to be good, but not to the extent that she was. She was a powerhouse. ALEXIS: Blake Carrington, I loathe him. I think it was the first time that audiences saw, on television, a woman who could be evil and manipulating, and downright nasty, but also had a lot of charm and seality. CORLEY: There's a lot of pressures in doing TV shows and a lot of pressures from sponsors. They didn't want me to be too gay. They had to be less gay. It was more gay. Oh, but he's got to have a kid, he's got to get married. I just felt like, at that point, it was hard to go any further with the character. RICHARD: When we realized Al was not going to come back, we had to confront whether we would recast or write him out. We decided the character was too important. COLEMAN: They did the big oil rig explosion where there's plastic surgery and you take off the bandages and there's this sort of perfectly pink dewy skin underneath. At first, I tiptoed around a little bit, like, oh, well, I'm the new Steven. And, ultimately, after a week or two, it was just sort of, "Okay, well, here I am." The hardest part is being afraid. EVANS: The response to the clothes was over the top. Every time I walked down the street, some woman would come up to me and say, "I loved your outfit. Where did you get this? Where did you get that?" Nolan Miller is a genius. Doing Dynasty was absolutely a designer's dream. Aaron Spelling said to me "I never want to see them "in the same outfit twice, and I want them to just be spectacular." I'm not scared of anything. My most exciting time on Dynasty was when we became the number one show. A hundred million peop a week, globally, watched the show. The visibility was huge. The world was Dynasty mad. REPORTER: A number of companies will manufacture wearing apparel all inspired by the hit show. REPORTER 2: ...the series Dynasty. REPORTER 3: ...the fantasy of Dynasty. Nancy and I have a little bet on the next episode of Dynasty. ( laughter ) I loved the enthusiasm that everybody had for the show. We loved the fact that we were on all the magazine covers and everybody was talking about the show and that we felt we were invincible. REPORTER 4: Joan Collins is one of the most photographed and written-about people in the world. BELLWOOD: People used to have these Dynasty parties, and on Wednesday night they'd watch Dynasty and they'd make believe they were the characters. It's going to make some huge changes in their lives. The show had a star quality. That's kind of the only way I can describe it. SAMMS: To have been offered the job on Dynasty was a dream come true. And I, always, at all times, felt incredibly grateful to be there. What an amazing, amazing life experience. I wouldn't have changed it for anything in the world. FORSYTHE: It was a pleasurable, joyous good time. Those were good days, fruitful days. How wonderful to experience it. How wonderful to have lived it. How wonderful to have had it. People always thought of us as archetypes-- symbols of something that represent... You were... ...the devilish dark one. Yes, and I was the good... ...beautiful, angelic blonde. Yeah, that's absolutely true. And so I think, actually, though, that we represent both sides of every woman. Of course. Yes, we do. See, that was the thing about us. We had this fantastic chemistry. I think that that's really one of the things that made the show so successful. Well, I must say I don't think Dynasty could have been the success we were without you. Oh, stop. I am so glad they brought your character in. Oh, you don't mean it. I do. I know you do. ( both laugh ) Here is a certified check for $1 million, to get out of Blake's life permanently. Money-- your leitmotif in life. You married Cecil for it, and you bought off Sammy Jo with it, and now you're trying to use it to get Blake. Well, I don't need your money, Alexis. And I also think, not just you and me, but John was such a pivotal part of it because he was so totally devoted to Krystle. Say it again, how much you love me. More than life. Can you match that? I think so. By showing you how desperately much I love you. COLLINS: You had this great relationship all the way through the show. He was very protective of you, you were very much a team. Because when I was 15, he gave me my first speaking part. And I did Bachelor Father. Did you have a crush on him? Oh, you did? Of course, at 15, I was madly in love with him. You're a long way from 40. Not as long as you think. Besides, I like older men. Especially older men with some distinction. You have distinction. When he showed up for Dynasty, I said, John, "I get to marry you in this one." You know, I love this dress, and it matches your eyes. Oh, well, Nolan Miller. And? Nolan Miller. Where would we be without Nolan Miller on Dynasty? He did my clothes for Big Valley. And he always had a problem, because he had to minimize my shoulders 'cause they were so big. So when we came on to do Dynasty and the shoulder pads came in, I mean, I looked like a football player. COLLINS: I saw you in one the other day, and it was massive. It was like two growths on your... I know. People copied it. Within a year, they were all dressed like that. So we started the trend. Didn't you do a lot of merchandising? We all did merchandising because it's what we had to do. I mean, I remember somebody came up, for Christmas, and gave me a puzzle of myself with a fur coat on. I don't know how anybody put those pieces of the puzzle together. Oh, that's right. You remember those? Yeah, I remember. And then the most hideous plate I've ever seen with you and me and John on it. I mean, it was just so ghastly. I loved the perfume. "Forever Kstle." They brought in a man that's called "The Nose," and he came in and he brought all these different scents, and I had to actually choose the ones I liked, 'cause they really wanted to do it for something that I liked. And do you remember the dolls? Oh, yes. Does this look familiar? ( laughing ) Talk about a bouffant hairdo. Wait, I think I have a... But they've got your eyes. It's got your eyes. Actually, the expression, it's really good, actually. It really is. The hair's different. I remember this dress Nolan made for me. I know. I remember that, too. It shrunk a bit. And down here is Alexis Morell Carringtonolby Dexter Rowan. I remember that dress. I remember it, too. I wore it in jail when I was sent to jail with the hookers and the drug addicts and... EVANS: How appropriate-- red. Don't you dare walk away and leave me here, damn it! Let me out of here! Let me out of here! Let's say hello. BOTH: Darling, I thought you were dead. ANNOUNCER: Coming up, Pamela Sue Martin and Al Corley share memories of Fallon and Steven Carrington. Boy, we are a pair. Gordon Thompson discusses the fun of being evil. I really was a son of a ***. And a look at our hilarious bloopers. I said I'd be in Alka... (laughing ): Alkaperky alone... ...when Dynasty Reunion: Catfights & Caviar returns. FORSYTHE: Among Dynasty's talented cast, Pamela Sue Martin and Al Corley played my children, Fallon and Steven, born to a life of privilege, but determined to have their own identities. Oh, my God! Hello, sweetheart. Oh! COLLINS: It's been so long. It's good to see you. How many years? 20 or 40. ( laughs ) You guys are exactly the same. Have you been staying here? Being at Filoli after 25 yea, remember when we shot the pilot? The three-hour pilot? I remember that scene that I did with you when, when you saved me from that snob when I was getting married. That snooty wedding planner? Now, which music will you prefer? The Mendelssohn or the Wagner? Is one better than the other? Neither is very au courant. I think what Miss Jennings actually had in mind was something a little more obscure. Say, Bach's "Siciliano" from his "Flute Sonata in E-flat Major"? You do know it, don't u, Mr. Afferton? Yes... How do you feel about a woodwind ensemble, Krystle? That's where I realized that I had an ally with you in the house, instead of all these other people who were trying to get rid of me. But it was the first time that in a mainstream TV or any time on television, I think, that they had a gay leading man. You mustn't be ashamed, Steven. I'm not. I'm lucky. It was very special for a while. You loved him. Yes, very much. Well, that doesn't make you any less a man. CORLEY: I had no idea, also, how important this character was to a lot of people. MARTIN: No, I didn't either. The letters that I got that said, "You're the first, this is the first thing I've ever seen, "where I can actually go to my parents and I can tell them, "you know, 'Hey, look, there's somebody else. There's a face to all this.'" Your characters were so unique because she was so bold and so strong and adventurous, and you were sensitive and you were introverted. Yes. that Blake always wanted. The rich are different, Krystle. Don't make any mistake about that. See, the poor cut back in hard times, that's why they're poor. The rich know that's the time to spend. The game is called "Million- Dollar Spit In The Ocean." You just can't go around beating up every man in Colorado I sleep with. Try me, Fallon. Try me. You're married to Jeff. You make that marriage work. Do you understand? CORLEY: You know, Pamela and I were the anarchists of the family. You know, the two people who knew all of these evil little secrets, and could care less about the power, could care less about the money. Yeah. They knew that they could rely on their love. Here I am, the scandal of Colorado, and here you are... ...Blake Carrington's mistake. Boy, we are a pair. Whew! Remember how, after our mother left, I couldn't sleep for six months? I used to come in here, and we'd hold hands in the dark. MARTIN: In a way, these were two people that wertrapped. They were trapped by their wealth and they were trapped by all this stuff, and they were both squirming to get out. He was trying to live out his life. Fallon was trying to, and then we went off and did that. ( all laugh ) When you said that you were going to leave, you said, "I have to get off this show." I said, "This ship is not sinking! Don't leave it!" 'Cause we are just going into being, like, the number one show. The number one show. And you're saying that you want to leave "But this is your life. This is a life." I just felt like I'd been inside a studio for a long time and it was time to get outside, outdoors. And I did go outside. I was riding horses, and traveling and whatever. And it was good. But it was a good life here, too. I just want to say that I'm really happy that I got a chance to come back Oh! I can't tell you I love my Aunt Krystle. BLAKE: Dynasty's most ruthless schemer was my son Adam, played by Gordon Thompson. If Adam had a soulmate, it had to be his mother Alexis. Sonny boy! ...bueno! My brother! Oh, hi! You look just wonderful. Hey. Hi. Mama. Hello, you son of a ***. COLLINS: Good to see you. Yes. Good to meet you, at this long last. Finally, 25 years. COLLINS: Wow. Sit down. You did have some extraordinary scenes. It was great. Thank you, Joan. I cannot tell you how exciting it was. I was Michael Torrance, I think, Yes, you were. Then I finally found out that I was actually was a Carrington. Yes, you were kidnapped by the nanny that was working for us. e nanny disappeared. They wanted a ransom for you. And then it never came through. 25 years ago, almost to this very day, our firstborn child was terribly ( over TV ): and cruelly taken away from us. His name was Adam. Adam Carrington. THOMSON: My grandmother called me in to her bedroom one day, she was on her deathbed, and she said: I'm dying, Michael. And I have to make peace with myself. I sinned and I stole you fr that baby carriage. THOMSON: "Michael, look into my bottom drawer and you'll find something I'd like you to look at." And it was a silver rattle. "A.A.C." was engraved on the tip of the rattle. And she said, "Your real name is Adam Carrington." And she made me look into the mirror and say it. Repeat it after me, Michael. I am Adam Carrington. Please. I am... Adam Carrington. That's when my journey began back to my family. If you're not in a hurry to get home, I'd like to buy you a drink. Just to talk. You see, right now, I could use a father. A father? Mm. And a friend. Not that common a phrase in this family, is it, "fathers and friends"? Yes, I'd like to have that drink with you. One of the nastiest things Adam ever did-- and one of the things I found toughest to do inside-- was ***. He *** the butler's daughter Kirby. The day it was shown, Reagan had a speech to the nation-- an address to the nation-- that evening. And the next day, the talk around the cooler was not about Reagan's speech, it was, "Did you see what Adam did to Kirby on Dynasty last night?" I really was a son of a ***. ( shouts ) ( screaming ) Adam, stop it! Stop it! Adam! We didn't work together, but did you paint Jeff Colby's office? Yes. I hated him. And they thought, "Well, let's have Adam try to kill Jeff with poison paint. This is top-of- the-line paneling. How come you're painting over it? 'Cause I like top-of-the-line paint. Not too many offices use such a bright color. You sure you wanted it? Yeah, I'm sure. I had it custom blended. Do you mind? I tell you what I mind, the smell. It's making me a little dizzy. Well, then why don't you just get on with it and finish the job? I've been to the hospital, I've seen him. I can verify the fact that he suspects nothing. I've talked to doctors and lab technicians and I know they haven't a clue as to e cause of his condition. You know, you know. Supposing someone starts to know what you've done. I know that to you, Jeff is just a pawn. But to me, he's a fine human being who was there when I needed him when Cecil died. He was the only one who was. And now he's in a great deal of pain. If he's in pain, they'll give him a pill. THOMSON: And I must say, bad and evil as I appeared to be, I couldn't really hold a candle to you, occasionally. I loved working with you a lot. And I think that our scenes worked together well. Laurence Olivier said once, "Unless you really like the character "that you're playing, you will never be believable." That is why, when people say, "Oh, Alexis is an evil, manipulative horrible ***," I say, "No, she's not." No, she's a woman who loves her children, she's a woman that wants power, she's a woman bent on revenge because she was kicked out and so I'm constantly defending her because I liked her and so did the audience. ANNOUNCER: Up next, Catherine Oxenberg remembers the most infamous wedding in television history. Krystal! And later on, Joan Collins and Linda Evans share a private chat about love and war. It's much more fun beating you up. ( laughs ) ANNOUNCER: Plus our exclusive bloopers when Dynasty Reunion: Catfights & Caviar continues. BLAKE: Catherine Oxenberg was Dynasty's princess: my rich, beautiful and sometimes spoiled daughter Amanda. Have some champagne, sit. So let me ask you, we were sisters? Mm-hmm. It's so nice to meet you. And you look so much alike. I never got to work with you, but I would have loved to have worked with you. Oh, thank you! Likewise! Yes? You're the first person who turned the word *** into a compliment, thank you for that. She used to call me "little ***," and I would call her affectionately, "big ***." But were you, so you were a *** also? Yes. I wasn't very well brought up, obviously. And I had very sloppy boundaries. What was the first scene we did together, do you remember? Oh, God, you're putting me on the spot. Yes, I do remember. I popped into your penthouse out of an elevator. That's right, yes. What are you doing here, Amanda? I read in the Tribune that you were in trouble. You're supposed to be in Paris at school. I came to see if I could help. It's the least I could do for my mother. Okay, we'd better talk about the most infamous Dynasty cliffhanger, probably in al the shows. The Moldavia wedding. I insisted that you marry Michael of Moldavia. And you did not want to. Amanda, everything is arranged, everything. The family is already here for the religious ceremony on Sunday. The court is arriving to the state ceremony on Monday. You have got to go through with this wedding. I can't and I won't! You remember the dress that you had? I think it was copied practically from Princess Diana's wedding dress a couple of years earlier. It was fabulously gorgeous. And mine was a complete hideousity. CORLEY: Forgive me, since I wasn't on the show then, but what was the setup for this Moldavian massacre? Bo Hopkins, it turns out, returned to the show. He was working for some terrorist cell somewhere, and he decided that they were going to break in to this great hoo-hah wedding of these two rich, famous, titled people and kidnap and kill a bunch of us. You are now united as husband and wife. Let us pray in peace. ( gunshots ) Krystle! They're going to kill us! Otto! Krystle! COLLINS: We had no idea who was going to live or die. None of us knew. EVANS: I remember they came around and they were pouring fake blood all over us. And we were going, what is that? The more blood we got, the less chance we had of coming back. Because we knew, if you were really bloodied up, that was it, you might as well call your agent and say I need a job. It was a rotten storyline. I do remember that. No, it was very funny, actually. The scene itself was extraordinary. The big cheat was the follow-up. We might have killed all of you, but we are compassionate. So you'll live. In exactly four hours time, a plane will be leaving for the United States. You will all be on it. I was given a joke T-shirt with holes in it, "I survived Amanda's wedding." I think it's funny that what we're remembered for, the show, is for those over-the-top moments and that those moments are the most popular with the fans. Please, give my son back to me! No, stay away! ( screaming ) It wasn't a baby. It was a doll she had. ( horse whinnying ) ( screaming ) I bought all of your holding, including this house. And there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Damn you, Alexis. I'm going to kill you! No, Blake! Blake! Help! EVANS: You have to admit, after five years, they just didn't know what to do with our characters. I mean, my God, I had to play my own double, and I had to have a southern accent with red hair, and then I had to be both characters, and it was just, I just cringed every time I saw it. Enjoy... Who...? What's going on here? Look, I... Answer me. You're... You're not Krystle. Darling, you don't know what you're saying. You're not my wife. Oh, God, what have you done with her? Where's Krystle? Where is s? Wasn't there another strange moment when you had a brain tumor and were throwing plates like Frisbees? I can't really blame them for that because I had asked to leave the show. They were trying to find a way that if I wanted to come back, they wouldn't have to resurrect me from the dead. So they just said we'll give you a brain tumor. And then of course, I was just doing those bizarre things in the room. They said you wanted to go, so you better do it. It was just horrifying. Dinner is served. Krystle. Oops. Dinner is served. My favorite over-the-top when I was in the show, was when you killed Lloyd Bochner. ( gasps ) I can't breathe. I can't breathe! Oh! Cecil, Cecil, listen, don't you dare die on me! Cecil, you can't die on me! We're getting married tomorrow! . My chest! Don't you die on me! Cecil! ( gasping stops ) You said you liked being on top. ANNOUNCER: Coming up next... You miserable ***. Hell hath no fury like two women in a lily pond. Joan Collins and Linda Evans remember Dynasty's most notorious knockdowns, when Dynasty Reunion: Catfights & Caviar continues. Joan, before we get back to the others, it wouldn't be a reuni without our talking about the catfights. Oh, God, those catfights. Do you know, I'm still in agony from all of them. Oh, as I recall, you were delicate. I'm very delicate, and you're very strong. And you're also, how many inches taller than me? A foot and a half with my shoes off. Well, let's drink to the catfights anyway. Drink to the catfights. It was fun. It was fun, and you always started them. Because you always started the problem that made me start them. I used to say, um, Alexis doesn't fight with her fists, she fights with her tongue. You've done nothing but make trouble for Blake to get what you want. Blake and I have always fought because that's the passion between us. But it's always been eye-to-eye, never behind the back. Don't worry about looking over your shoulder for me, Krystle, because when I finally decide to destroy you, it's going to be face-to-face. The first one was the pillow fight. The feathers, flying all over the place. You were jealous! Jealous because I was going to give Blake a child, and you couldn't stand that, could you? No, no, you're jealous because Fallon's had her baby and that's made you even more paranoid. Well, I didn't cause your accident, Krystle, just as I didn't cause your barrenness. So, if you've quite finished... I haven't. And at the end, what was it that you said? If you want a rematch, just whistle. If you can. EVANS: What was your favorite catfight? I think that I liked the one in which we were sliding down the mud. The one that we copied from that movie... Romancing the Stone. And the reason I liked it so much was that I didn't have to do it. My double was there. When I first went to Hollywood, Fox wanted me to ride a horse. And Gene Kelly said to me, "Honey, don't ride a horse. "It's dangerous and you're putting some poor stunt gal out of work." So I never wanted to put a stunt gal out of work. Which is why I never liked to do stunts, you see? Blake told me about your would-be seduction. How could you possibly think he could ever be interested in you again? Maybe all I really need is just a little more time. I'm not finished. ( yelling ) Oh, you, you stupid ***! Look what you've done to this outfit! I've never seen you looking better. You fought yourself, didn't you? I fought myself. That's the ultimate. When they wrote the character Rita, which was my double, I had to fight myself. I'll kill you. That was probably one of the most difficult things I've ever done in my life. Because you have to beat yourself up and so I'd have to put on one outfit, and then beat up Krystle, and then I'd have to become Krystle and beat up myself. And I would get confused and it was exhausting. I must say it's much more fun beating you up. What are you doing, you crazy cow! Now, if you'll excuse me. I have a husband to meet up with, a plane to catch and a home to get back to. What are your plans? Then again, who gives a damn. COLLINS: I think our characters really enjoyed it, too. I also think the public did, too. Because you taunted me so much-- Krystle, during the year, you were threatening to my life, to my husband, to someone that I loved, and I would allow you and allow you, until one day, you would cross over that threshold and that's when I finally had to deal with you. Oh, that's right. It's what my mother used to say: I was asking for it. Get out! The empty-armed Madonna. Mourning the baby that she couldn't have, and the baby that she almost got to adopt. Gone now. That is it, isn't it? You miserable ***. COLLINS: The fight scene that everybody seems to remember the most, is the lily pond. I don't know why everybody likes that scene so much more. I think because it was so outrageous in thosdays for two women to really take each other down in the water. We didn't just throw each other in the water and then go like this. I mean, you went under, I went under, we pulled, we pushed, we shoved. Also, don't you think that there's something about somebody being totally manicured and then just getting doused? I mean, we're just completely... we were like rats. I mean, we were just, it was over. COLLINS: When I went into the water, that was my stunt girl again. Was that you? Did you do it yourself? No, I did it. I like it. I like that stuff. You're such a jock, Linda. I know. It's true. Oh! Oh, no, you don't. We didn't ever get hurt, you and I. Well, speak for yourself.

ANNOUNCER: Coming up, the cast reunion continues with more great clips, unforgettable bloopers, plus an emotional visit from John Forsythe, when Dynasty Reunion: Catfights & Caviar returns. BLAKE: While the Carrington family always embodied class and elegance, we ao had our share of fun. I'll see you in hell first before I let you... Do what the hell you want... ( laughing ) I said I'd be in Alka... Alkaperky alone. Who knows, maybe someday I can negotiate a treace peaty between you and Blake. ( laughing ) Cut. Darling, what a piece of ( bleep ). CECIL: It's more than you deserve. ( laughing ) Cut it. I know. I know. I didn't say my lines right. ( laughing ) I drink to you. If I only knew why, I would tell you. One way or another, we're going to settle it. Go ahead, make my day. I don't care, Nick. Believe whatever you like. I just don't care anymore. And my name is not Nick. Cut. You know, I am so happy to see all of you. I cannot tell you how thrilled I am-- and this moment, won't really be complete until we have John Forsythe. The man who made coming to work every day so magical. This show was so serious and he was so funny personally. We'd be fighting and people would be strangling each other, and he'd make me laugh all day long. I will forever be grateful to him for that. Oh, yes. He treated me like a daughter, because I was always... not behaving. Are you okay? I know you, Blake Carrington, you paid that horse to dump me. I didn't have to pay him, he works for me. I don't mean to hurt you and I know you don't mean to hurt me. Why do you think I've worked so hard? Who do you think I've built all this for? I'm not going to be around forever, you know. It's for you. All of it. Daddy, I honestly don't know what to do. Darling, I can't tell you what to do. If you want to call the wedding off, I'll stand by you. Whatever you decide. Oh! He brought more experience and more depth and weight to the show than anybody possibly could. He maintained a level and a very high standard of professionalism on that set. If he heard us talking about him like this, he would leave now. ( laughing) FORSYTHE: Happy anniversary, everybody. I brought the caviar! Oh, John! Hey. Hello. Your ex-wife. You remember me? It's great to see you. It's been too long. Well, it's nice to be seen. ( laughing ) John, I always wanted to thank you for always giving me advice when I asked for it. You truly were a mentor Oh! That's the nicest thing anybody's ever said to me. Including things my wife has said to me. ( laughing ) I wanted to thank you because when you were on the show you tried to do the most delicate intervention any human being could possibly do. And I didn't respond, but that meant so much to me that you reached out to me at that time and I always regretted not being able to respond truthfully to you. Well, you're doing it right now. It's a little late. I'm very, very happy to hear that. EVANS: And you're my only husband that was faithful. I was? COLLINS: How do you know? What about when he had amnesia? He had amnesia and he and I got it on. I love you. Oh, Blake. I love you, too. I always have and I always will. It's so funny, when you look back, how people responded to the show. I remember one year, the help was particularly rude to me and women would come up to me-- very well-dressed, in Beverly Hills-- and they would say, "You have got to take over the help. You have got to stand up for yourself." And here I'm looking at them going, are you out of your mind? This is a show. And they're giving me advice on handling the help. Remember when you were in the airport? At the airport, I was bustling along and this woman... and she stopped me and she hit me with her purse. And I said, "I beg your pardon, but what was that for?" She said, "I don't like the way you're treating Krystle." ( laughing ) People really believed that we were those characters, you know? They really believed that you were the strong patriarch. That you were the sweet one. That you were the naughty girl, that you were the evil one, you were the sweet little... but very naughty. And that I was the evil, manipulating witch. And God, they were so wrong. I don't think witch... is that the right word for it? ***? That's it. Okay, I was a ***. Thank you. Absolutely. Yeah! To catfights and caviar. To 25 years of Dynasty. And to all my Dynasty family, thank you. Cheers. To Dynasty.
