There's a reason Joan's recline and exhale at the end of the scene has become such a useful gif - nobody could have done that scene like she did. The part of a lifetime.
Alexis is like the Joker she actually doesn't her ex-husband back, she wants the chaos, the fight with Cristal who is a formidable opponent but with a style opposite of her own.
Exactly. Even Joan Collins in later interviews still wondered WHY on earth Alexis was still so consumed with Blake when she "traded up" for Cecil, got his money, got his company and had even managed to inherit a portion of her FATHER IN LAW"S wealth! She even called Alexis a "yutz" for still carrying some sort of flame for him. She never quite got over the fact that she never completely destroyed Blake for what he did to her.
The end of the scene was scary, that is how a devil looks like in disguise 😈, Joan Collins was the wright person to play Alexis and Larry Hagman playing J.R 😈😈
:39 to :41, Krystal takes a full two seconds to think about the question and formulate her reply, all while acting out her thinking process - priceless!
Why ? Krystal was a Good woman who loved her husband and cared for her family, Alexis was a scheming vengeful ex wife who was bitter because Blake Caught her cheating and threw her out ! How the heck did Krystal annoy you ? That's stupid ! Also krystal use to kick Alexis ass , so take that !
@@FashionistaDude .. People, like Joan, forget that Alexis struck the first blow in that art studio catfight -- Krystle just continued to respond appropriately.
Cedar Abbey, that wasn't the only altercation. Otherwise it was always Krystle that resorted to physical violence first, and sometimes was the only one to do so.
I never give my sis, Krystle, her just due, but I have to say, Krys did not play here. Ki@ her cutting Lexis off during their beginning dialogue with that, " I asked you a something! What are you doing in here?" Work, Krys. 😂😂😂
Alexis is attempting in taking over the mansion and celebrating it by wearing her 1965 wig. An added confrontation with Kristian. And her day is complete.
@@fishandchips9033 @Fish and chips o no! I've been insulted by a nobody who counts for nothing but does have the time to stan for a drab, unlikeable television character. Kudos you, you're an irrelevant flop.
@@userfridaywiggly18943 I think the first season or so it was clunky... then by season three, Krystal found her focus... going after Alexis and asserting herself as THE Mrs. Carrington. Alexis underestimated her, thinking she was just some younger lower class trophy wife.
Oh, it was great casting, writing, and direction. Krystle was the underdog so it made good TV when she would stand-up to Alexis. She was a secretary from Dayton, Ohio so Alexis always made her feel she didn't belong into high society.
For a while Krystle was the audience's way of entering the world of the exceedingly wealthy and powerful. She was fair and kind and had dignity. Naturally we empathized with her and we got to know the people and settings of her new world. She was an average woman who got married to an oil mogul who had a 48 room mansion on an estate. Talk about an adjustment. When the ex-wife came into the picture there was instant friction. There didn't have to be so much of it, but clearly Alexis wanted things a certain way from the moment they met. And these fairly frequent verbal confrontations between the two ladies were fraught with drama, even though the surroundings were opulent and staid. Scenes like this are what made Dynasty appealing to me when I first discovered the show. And sometimes when Krystle got the last word, the message she conveyed was to the point and rang very true. Her words here (about who delcared war first) seem to hang in the air heavily as she exits the room, leaving Alexis to revel in the pleasure of making the new Mrs. Carrington uncomfortable in her own home. For me this is almost as powerful as a scene from a classic western movie. I wish there was more of this caliber stuff in later seasons but it just evolved into silliness, like the episode in which an argument ended with Krystle dropping Alexis' breakfast plate in her lap (which, admittedly, was very funny because it was unexpected).
Alexis's curled bangs make me giggle. Why were the whites of krystles eyes pink? Guess dealing with alexis on a regular basis will do that to you. Lol.
Joan (collins not crawford) stated in interviews that in the early two seasons they wanted her to look like she did in "The Stud", but Joan felt that since Alexis was cultured and well, rich, she should look like it and carry herself as such--- despite her backstory of being a hellraiser, an artists' model and artist herself and somewhat bohemean. So by the time she inherited ColbyCo, she had to look the part.. and that part ironically WAS based on Joan Crawford's taking control .. albeit briefly.. of Pepsi. In fact, in one season, they recreated the Boradroom scene in "Mommie Dearest", with Alexis taking control of the suits in a reverse color pallete of the hat and fur "Joan" (Faye Dunaway) wore in that scene.
Crazy wig noted, but here’s another occasion where, what? Alexis pre-placed a cigarette and lighter on the carrington coffee table in preparation for her battle with Krystle? Why doesn’t Alexis carry her cigarettes? No satchel, pocketbook or Fanny pack. No Schneider pack of cigs in the shirt sleeve. So. How did Alexis find that convenient cigarette just lying on someone else’s coffee table with a nearby lighter for her argument with Krystle? How?
If only the show continued to write for both actors and characters this way! Strong and cutting verbal tennis tension. Ah, Joan was fabulous and saved the show. However, the show needed Krystal to balance the camp that devours the quality later on. After season 4, the show suffered and limped along. Still love it.
This was one of the best scenes with lines they gave to Crystal. It’s a shame the entire show became pointless and even bizarre. Alexis here in that wig, before she switched to brown cigarettes, purring and cheek chewing all camp. That excessively beige room was always so weird abs colorless.
The nerve, to come into a house that isn't her own and start ordering things around. She knows she will get away with it. Blake was a weak man. He should have laid down the law to Alexis that she was absolutely not to enter the house and for the servants to not raise one finger for her. Children or not. They would have to go visit her in that little house she was living in on the grounds, wor wherever she was living. The kids could go see her but she absolutely was not to enter the house unless invited in for a party.
Unlike JR, I love Alexis. Unlike evil, black hearted JR, Alexis has a good heart. She is just an eccentric schemer who herself has been wronged in the past and isn't afraid to put people in their places when they step out of line. Sometimes she is evil but not always. And Krystle is such a bore compared to Alexis.
![Joan Collins Talks About Dynasty's Alexis [2022] # Clip 1🎬](/img/n.gif)
I've lost count of the times someone on this show says, "What are you doing here?"
Same 🤣🤣 but it's mostly said by Alexis
@@derrioussmith1835 Hu - I should say it is Cristal's line.
😹😹😹
It's true, it becomes a tagline!
I think that's crystal most of the time.
There's a reason Joan's recline and exhale at the end of the scene has become such a useful gif - nobody could have done that scene like she did. The part of a lifetime.
Joan has always been the epitome of sass, sex, and class. She did exactly what I needed her to do with that pose!
Ima turn it into a moving whatsapp sticker
So true
That wig on Alexis should have been given a special guest star credit.
👍🤣🤣🤣 that's true!!!! When I watched this the first time round, I didn't realize they wore wigs 🤣🤣🤣
It's an endangered species
Hideous wig for sure 😂 the 80s
🤣🤣🤣👌
its probably still out there somewhere taking casting calls.
Alexis always ran up in that house without warning....
😂😂😂
Alexis' face at end is perfection lol
Nobody did frozen scenes better than Joan.
It was like "oh good I rattled the lap dog's cage!"
That pose at the very end of the scene!
She did that! Work
The amused look at the end. Haha perfection.
Alexis is like the Joker she actually doesn't her ex-husband back, she wants the chaos, the fight with Cristal who is a formidable opponent but with a style opposite of her own.

Let Krystle have him, Alexis doesn't need him, and shouldn't want him.
Fantastic performance from Joan. Pity she's having such a bad wig day 😉
Joan Collins... The Devil Wears Blue... 🤣
alexis walking in and out when she wants what nerve
The end of the scene was scary, that is how a devil looks like in disguise 😈, Joan Collins was the wright person to play Alexis and Larry Hagman playing J.R 😈😈
Alexis would have eaten choir boy JR Ewing for breakfast.
And the weird part is that Joan Collins thought she'd only be on for one season at the most.
This the one time HUMIDITY affected Alexis.
Okay this scene epitomises why Joan stole this show from under everyone else’s feet. Diva.
Sammy Jean 😂😂😂 0:44
Sammy Jean 😂. So bad with names 😂😂😂
Nearly every time they have an altercation in the house Alexis lights up a cigarette.
Great scène perfectly by both Joan and Linda …40 years ago OMG 😱
Wow! Loving the 60’s/80’s wig mash-up, Alexis! ⭐️
I think you and I might be the only ones. Lol!
:39 to :41, Krystal takes a full two seconds to think about the question and formulate her reply, all while acting out her thinking process - priceless!
Love that Alexis is wearing two different hair styles
That is such a bad wig on Joan
Amen. One of the worst she wore in the series. So unflattering.
It's like it can't decide what style it's meant to be.
@@jackiesmith5134
Millionaire Mullet.
I love Joan's color of lipstick and nail color Perfect!
Sammy Jean lolol
BRADY MCGUIRE haha.. and kristen.. she purposely forget names
BRADY MCGUIRE 🎵"Sammy Jean is not my lover..."🎵
Sunny Jean. No?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
My grandfather had a similiar house in South Africa back in the 80s, white furniture too. Good 80s
Kristol always annoyed the shit out of me. I always wanted Alexis to hurt her.
Why ? Krystal was a Good woman who loved her husband and cared for her family, Alexis was a scheming vengeful ex wife who was bitter because Blake Caught her cheating and threw her out ! How the heck did Krystal annoy you ? That's stupid ! Also krystal use to kick Alexis ass , so take that !
@@userfridaywiggly18943 yes! In those cat fights...Krystle always won! It would've been boring if Alexis won
Alexis is giving Lucy from Charlie Brown.
😂🙃
That look at this end so evil 😈 😆
"Sammy Jean". Lol Get a load of that Princess Di ring!
That long wig is hysterical. It’s like a freaking hood.
Or a helmet😂
Alexis is one Queen!!!
Despite of how much Krsytal disliked Alexis, she could not mess with Alexis the way Sable and Dominique does. Those two are pure queens of shades.
She couldn't mess with Alexis. But she could beat her very well!
The fact that she had to resort to violence only proves that it was difficult for her to stand up to Alexis, Goran Markovic.
Yes, but Alexis is a manipulative bitch and that's why it's best for Krystle to beat her well. ;)
@@FashionistaDude .. People, like Joan, forget that Alexis struck the first blow in that art studio catfight -- Krystle just continued to respond appropriately.

Alexis (hairdo) looks like Jackie Kennedy in 60's. :)
Not one of Joan’s better wigs 🥴📺
Alexis is always the viper of all vipers
A 1963 wig ..In 1982 ?? Thanks for the Upload 👍 !! XD
When smoking on TV and indoors was acceptable.
It’s still like that most places outside of the US. The world is an effing ashtray.
I never give my sis, Krystle, her just due, but I have to say, Krys did not play here. Ki@ her cutting Lexis off during their beginning dialogue with that, " I asked you a something! What are you doing in here?" Work, Krys. 😂😂😂
Sue is from Ohio after all
Someone from the dog groomer called and wanted Joan's Wig.
Krystle's so paranoid. If she doesn't watch out, she'll end up in the loony bin!
Sammy Jean! 👍
😂🙃
Alexis is wearing a poodle wig.

Amazing acting !
Alexis, queen of passive aggression
Um...were "Jane Jetson" wigs in vogue in the early 80s? LOL.
The GIF-ication of a queen 😂
Sammy Jean..lmfao
I never understood whether we were supposed to actually like Krystal. She seemed like she had a brick for a brain.
What show were you watching? Krystal was a well written character who was clever and had morals!
Your the one who has a brick for a brain.

A smoking Alexis makes me think of a Mother Dragon, peacefully exhaling after eating the person who tried to hurt the kids.
Joan Crawford simulations
I love draping on that dress😍😍
Alexis will always win the war. Dame Joan Collins is a real class act. Krystal needs to pack up her toys and leave.
Please ! Krystal is the Queen and Alexis is the bitter Ex Wife !
0:51 the wig itch
I do love those dresses so elegant ☺️✨️
love when Joan has a Joan Crawford look ...
Joan (collins not crawford) stated in interviews that in the early two seasons they wanted her to look like she did in "The Stud", but Joan felt that since Alexis was cultured and well, rich, she should look like it and carry herself as such--- despite her backstory of being a hellraiser, an artists' model and artist herself and somewhat bohemean.

@@creativewriter3887 .. He said "Crawford look" -- he wasn't confusing the Two Joan's at all.
That wig looks like some kind of poodle mullet lol 🐩🐩🐩
Absolutely love Alexis, Krystle's miserable.
Krystal was rightfully tired of Alexis BS , She gatherd good here !

Yes, Season 2 was the defining year of the show -- the writing and acting was much better than what followed.
The nerve, to come into a house that isn't her own and start ordering things around. She knows she will get away with it. Blake was a weak man. He should have laid down the law to Alexis that she was absolutely not to enter the house and for the servants to not raise one finger for her. Children or not. They would have to go visit her in that little house she was living in on the grounds, wor wherever she was living. The kids could go see her but she absolutely was not to enter the house unless invited in for a party.
Krystle was actually very gracious and kind.
I love that blue ring.
Im sorry lol but linda evans hair was ridiculous even then lol
Shut up ! Linda's signature hair was Gorgeous! You must have her confused with Alexis's current wig !
So much acrimony over the moving of a sofa..
That wig hunty!
Joan is the pot stirring master
Sammy Jean.......Lol!!!!!!
Unlike JR, I love Alexis. Unlike evil, black hearted JR, Alexis has a good heart.

I haven't seen the full show. Anyone know if Krystle ever considered changing the locks..? 😂
Big drama and big hair!
Alexis's wig was simply dreadful.
Was that Alexis's Carrington Manor Wig ?
0:49 - 0:52 Alexis' ring is like Kate Middleton's engagement ring
Ira Williams It's a copy of Princess Di's ring. Di Mania was in full swing in the early 80's.
To think they were such good friends in real life they played this to the hilt
I thought they weren’t
Respect- yes
Friends - no
They were never friends. Professionals, yes. Friends, no. They got on as best they could but even Joan would concede they weren't real friends.
They were indeed social friends before the show -- Joan changes her stories frequently.
What the heck is up with Alexis's hair it looks ridiculous looks like a helmet with a flip
😘 I never have liked that Sammy jean.
Great scene
Wow shes smoking a white cigarette
People did everywhere and all the time!
“ The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face towards you and give you peace.”

@@nicobsm111saintmichel7 sir you had the option to scroll. Please have a good day.

Who is Krystle supposed to be? One of the long-lost siblings, or a first cousin? Oh so dear and supposedly sweet Margie perhaps?
On behalf of Krystle. You can organize the party Alexis darling. As long as you hand me over your ring, lol :)
AWSOME!!!
I miss the show.
Krystal was always such a wimp. It was the reason I didn’t watch the show.
Then how do you know she always was? Besides, this is back when Krystle was tougher.
I love it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who keeps letting Alexis in the mansion? And smoking?
Just missing a slap at the end! 😅
So was Alexis the good guy the whole time
This wig though, thank God they're nicer nowadays 🙄
haha, that wig!
The wig is atrocious.
OHHHHHHHHHH ALEXIS
