They won't make anything close to this anymore because people don't know how to talk with this level of class and restraint. Dynasty was the best in its day. The spin off were almost as good. Colby's and Falcon Crest these spin offs were almost as good as Dynasty too.
Dominique's face, tho...smooth and flawless. All the women on Dynasty were beautiful but Dominique looked good even playing sick. I was so excited when she joined the cast!
@@bobbybrown1389 I've actually changed my mind quite a bit. I really enjoy the new version now but I don't treat it as the same show. I do treat it more like Gossip Girl type thing.
@@mukunimulundika5359 forsythe wa sin his mid to late 60s so all they needed was an actor in his 80s. Also Blake was old enough to be Bens father not brother. Ages are ignored so bad on these shows. Look at Dallas Barbara Bel Geddes and Larry Hagman as mother and son when she was MAYBE 9 years older then him. Shouldnt be allowed to happen. FRasier and his TV dad were very close in age, and the list goes on. STUPID
I had the opportunity to sit in a room with Ms. Carroll on a television show set years ago. I sat starstruck and in wonder , having watched her on Dynasty with mom when I was a child. She was the epitome of grace and class, even in her older years.
So Do I. This Show Was Always EPIC,But Got LIT With The Addition Of The Beautiful,Brilliant,Elegant CLASSY Diahann Carroll!!! 👑👸🏾🙏🏽☁️🕊💐🌹🌷⚘💎💍🖤🖤🖤⭐⭐⭐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember being stuck watching this as well as all the other prime time soap operas that my grandmother watched when she would babysit me. I didn't check out Dynasty until I was an adult. It was definitely a product of its time and I can see why it was so popular.
Damn this soap opera was ahead of its time... Writing, costumes, acting and blocking is the best that this genre has to offer. Take note Days of Our Lives, this was a soap opera that was shown at night. Brava and bravo.
+Greg Hunt Diahann Carroll could totally have been Whitney Houston's sister, esp how Whitney looked around The Bodyguard era. Been saying the same for years.
I remember this scene...Yes, Tom dies and leaves $300 Million for the three kids. Dominique, Blake and Alexis each get about $150 Million. That was a great scene...
😳😳😳😳 So Domonique Deveraux was a CARRINGTON?????? I'm blown away. I remember watching this as a little girl with my grandmother but I was just waiting for the cat fights so my mom and grandmother could start REALLY talking. They used to forget I was there sometimes.. 😆😆
Actually, "cabaret singer", and "saloon singer", and "nightclub singer" were--all--titles that Joan Collins' "Alexis" had afforded to Diahann Carroll's "Dominique", because their first association with each other, was in Europe; when Dominique was quietly building her own fortunes by singing within the cabarets and nightclubs [and "saloons", if you please, of Europe....[Later, establishing various corporations, including a recording company.] Within an episode of Alexis discovering that Dominique had rescued Blake's oil company by purchasing 49-percent of it for 51-million dollars, did Alexis come to realize that Dominique was, As Gordon Thompson's "Adam Carrington" said, "That VERY RICH night-club singer." Alexis has employed the aforementioned terms as a reminder to Dominique of her show-business beginnings...As if Alexis' more classic form of acquiring wealth by conduit of marriage was--somehow--more socially acceptable. Therefore, Alexis' titles for her sister-in-law, Dominique, have nothing to do with race.
@@aidanstafford318 I agree with u , because I was a Dynasty fan back in the day. Her race never came into play. She considered Blake & the rest of the Carringtons her family. Btw, I am black & I did not derive anything racist in Alexis referring to her as a cabaret singer. Alexis was just being Alexis, a bitch but not a racist.
DYNASTY really wasted Carroll's talents during her 3 season run. This scene clearly demonstrates DC's skill as a powerful dramatic actress yet Domonique's material rarely if ever lived up to those standards. Shame because Diahann was DYNASTY's best actress throughout its nine year run.
Not true. When the will was read, he made Dominique executor for reasons to reasons to never be known. I believe it was because he loved her mother. However, at the time it would have cost him everything.
I don’t arrange my life to suit the gospel of Blake Carrington …love Alexis lines . John Forsythe looked the same age as the actor playing his father lol .
RIP!!!! She was and still is the epitome of beauty and class.

Indeed
This old school drama is fire
Makes the new version pale in comparison. Idk y they didn't leave it alone.
Facts!
They won't make anything close to this anymore because people don't know how to talk with this level of class and restraint. Dynasty was the best in its day. The spin off were almost as good. Colby's and Falcon Crest these spin offs were almost as good as Dynasty too.
Pearl clenching chile 😩
Yeah it was a good show back in the day.
Dominique's face, tho...smooth and flawless. All the women on Dynasty were beautiful but Dominique looked good even playing sick. I was so excited when she joined the cast!
Cash money usually IS exciting for a washed up actor.
@@wiibaron she's FAR from washed up...
She was missing from TV for about 10 years before Dynasty role. Unemployed actor.
@@wiibaron She was doing film/theatre... research before judging
So like I said nobody had seen or heard from her in a decade before Dynasty.
In my humble opinion, Diahann Carroll as Dominique Deveraux was the most beautiful woman to have ever graced the television screen.
Exactly
Damned right! No one did it better!! Continue to Rest in Grace & Class, Ms. Carroll!! We love you, Empress!
Such elegance.
I agree ❤❤❤
Absolutely gorgeous and quite talented
her skin is like silk..beautiful woman...
that wig shake during the 2nd liyah was everything
I'm screaming 😂😂😂😂.
lmao yassss! That wig and the whole 80s look was fierce and glamours af !
Lmaooo
Lol
Nocture22, that IS a wig and Black folks don't need curly perms, LOL!
Diahann Carroll was a true asset to this show, as they all were.
That death stare Diahann Caroll gave and the orchestra behind it was fierce
Rest in Grace, Diahann Carroll. You go girl and act your behind off in heaven.
Yessss!!
R.I.P. Diahann Carroll.
"I want my rightful name OLD-MAN!"
Such a great line. And delivered with real mettle and conviction.
@@adamcarrington2818
In my eyes, Diahann Carroll was - and will always remain, on top.
Night time soaps,,,the whole family watching together...those were the days.
Yes..when there were no porn and drugs...
Yes, those days were the best!
Say that
Yassssss!!!
Sorry but no. Joan was fantastic but those cat fight scenes🙄, please.
yes Dominique!!!! read that LIYAH!!!!
I loved it.❤❤❤
I love how they casually sip cocktails while waiting for the old man to die 😂😂
Okay lol
Right! Lol
Normal for them
Dominique looked like she wanted to suffocate her father, with a pillow, when he told Blake to get her out of there 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Diahann Carroll, brought flavor into that character and into that show. Rest in peace aunty 🙏.
Only a few minutes long and I was riveted by the entire scene. Diagnosis Carroll was a great actress. Thumbs up to Joan and John too.
Diagnosis 😂
Diagnosis? 😂
RIP to the most classy and most elegant lady that ever did it. I'm to miss you, we ALL are going to miss you. Thank you.
RIP Diahann Carroll you were a beautiful lady
a dame...a black queen
A BLACK QUEEN INDEED!!!
I *love* that you called this "Liyah". It's right up there with Dominique's 7th season catfight with Alexis where she yells "I'll slappah! SLAPPAH!" 🤣
That's the ghetto talk, showing her true roots.
I wish we had this calibre of Dynasty these days and not that The OC meets Dynasty we got. This is Hollywood heavyweights giving their all!
Thank you
@@bobbybrown1389 I've actually changed my mind quite a bit. I really enjoy the new version now but I don't treat it as the same show. I do treat it more like Gossip Girl type thing.
On television.
Diahann was great in this scene, as she was in most scenes in Dynasty.
This woman can act!!!I love❤her RIP
I love me so Diahann Carroll!
THIS ENTIRE SCENE IS EPIC. In so many ways it is iconic. The Alexis WIG is hilarious.
Blake and his father look exactly the same age. Ridiculous.
After the expense on wardrobe, jewels and makeup there was hardly any budget for special effects😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao right? They couldnt have found a muttering old man with more wrinkles?

Pure class was the gorgeous Diahann Caroll. Long live, legend

I watched this on DVD recently and LOVED the LIYAH!!!
Rest-in-Class QUEEN 👑!
She’s so great an actress I grew up watching this Dallas all the great days of the 1980s
that old man carrington is a mean old man!!
He looks younger than Blake !!! lol. How can he be the father of Blake.
TheGreg131313 No Way!! Ha Ha!!
TheGreg131313
IMHO, he doesn't.
Good we knew something about Blake's childhood and family.
lol
+TheGreg131313 I agree, they should've used a much older man.
Pretty powerful scene, that wicked look Madam Diahann Carroll, gives at the end is so cleverly good. May she continue to Rest In Peace.💜
I appreciate these shows even more now‼️🏆👉🏽👩🏽💪🏽
Queen of upper Echelon! R.I.P Queen!

Dominique not even acknowledging Alexis was beautiful 😂🖤
LaiYaAaaaH!!!😂😂😂 That wig was strong!!!
That wig has a life of it's own.
Blake looks older than his father
Lol right
NO!!
I was thinking the same thing 😂
😂😂😂, that was my first thought too 🤔
People use to get Married at the Age of 17 and 16 so Blake was Probably only that much Younger then his Father and Mother.
RIP MS. CARROL🙏💕 SHE MADE DYNASTY GREAT.. ONE CLASSY LADY.. WILL BE MISSED.
I can’t believe they tackled this issue in the 80’s in prime time
" I don`t arrange my life to suit the gospel according to Blake Carrington". Lol!
Sheesh that is a gorgeous goddess.🌷💐🌹💗
When women actually drank water which produced beautiful smooth skin.
😭😭😭😭
She was A lady of great style and Elegance without question, She also had Stupendous Singing Voice, and She was Great Lady.
Deep love for black women, this shows
I love how alexis just turns up whenever she likes. Whatever blake
The dramatic music in the shows back then was everything! R.I.P. Ms Carroll.

You know I never noticed it, but Diahnn Caroll and late Whitney Houston look very similar.
+Greg Hunt Diahann Carroll could totally have been Whitney Houston's sister, esp how Whitney looked around The Bodyguard era. Been saying the same for years.
Simon you are so right too. I have looked at some old Dynasty clips and pictures and they look so similar. I'm glad someone else noticed it too!! :-)
+Greg Hunt huh, yeah I can see it. Would have never noticed.
Greg Hunt Yes they did
Simon Webster that's probably who they modeled Whitney's look from.
does anyone see the resemblance between Dominque and the late Whitney Houston? Whitney could've played her daughter.
Yes and always have...
Yes,I See It Now,And They Were BOTH Beautiful,Brilliant,Talented PHENOMENAL Black Women!!! 🥰😍🤩🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽☁️🕊🕊💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹🌷⚘⚘👑👸🏾👑👸🏾
Absolutely!!!
I remember this scene...Yes, Tom dies and leaves $300 Million for the three kids. Dominique, Blake and Alexis each get about $150 Million. That was a great scene...
+Marcus LeeP sweetie, 300 million split three ways do not amount to 150 million each
Thanks..
+islezeus Thanks..It was something like the Yes, so something like 450 Million. But the rest of the will is a lot as well..
Marcus LeeP kool lol
Thanks...
LIYAH!!!!! Took me clean out! You named this video perfectly!😂😂😂
Diahann Caroll, you are the synonym of beauty, elegance, characters and abviously intelligence

At 2:33-2:41 he knew without a doubt that she was indeed his daughter! Yaaaasss, honey! 😄
Can someone plese upload the next episode where he acknowledges her as his daughter.
god - I didn't realise how stunning she was. gorgeous
that cabaret singer....I Love Alexis!!!!
Just saw this for the first time and...DAMMNNNNNN
Dominique was so fascinating...RIP Diahann
The great Harry Andrews.
Harry Andrews was only 3 years older than John Forsythe.
Omg sooo awesome my childhood
Dominque was like "fuck how 'fragile' he is....he's gon answer my goddamn questions tuhday!" LMFAO
Joy King yessssss! LOL
She was absolutely stunning.
I remember watching this with my Mother!
She was so beautiful!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When are they going to add the character of Dominique or Alexis to the new Dynasty? Can’t wait to see that!
There is a new dynasty
Nicolette Sheridan has been casted as Alexis.
Apparently they are going to be casting Dominique in the re boot.
Hopefully not Monique or Whoopie. And Whitney isn't available...
@@wiibaron Whitney would have been a GREAT Dominique! She would played her perfectly .. But sadly we will never know..
Why Blake's father doesn't look much older than him.
Harry Andrews, who played John Forsythe's father was only 3 years older than Forsythe in real life.
People saying Blake looks older than his father are either fucked up or they can't see worth a shit.
In essence...he didn't love Dominque's mom....he just wanted some darker "putang"!
Tom Jones Most IR are not about love so i agree.
It’s was just buttsex jejeje 🤣

I'd say he looks slightly older.

What cocktails are they drinking
"But That Was Her Way....I Want My Rightful Name OLD MAN!" I Just Choked Laughing While Eating Halloween Candy 2 Days B4 Halloween :) :) :)0
