Sammy Jo

Actually, 6, but for Heather Locklear...

I've been seeing this coming on from the previous season. Sammy Jo the reformed character, the bad girl turning heroine, a staple on Aaron Spelling shows (think Kelly in BEVERLY HILLS 90210). Graduating from the school of hard knocks, Sammy Jo has emerged a better person, but I'm pretty sure she won't turn into Aunt Krystle just yet. For the good of the series, with this season AND TWO MORE to go, she'd better still provide plenty of fire.

Krystle finally considers Claudia's fate. Without a trace of sorrow or even sympathy. What a goof. Krystle is not like that. The writers simply didn't consider the kind of person Krystle is. It doesn't really qualify as a goof, but it certainly is the biggest plot goof after all. I mean, I know that, fans of the show know that, but the writers just barged on by...

Joan Collins. Third episode in a row Alexis wears that horrible, horrible funeral garb, that awful white hairnet thing covering her face. Frightening! Really, fans of Alexis, your idol is nothing more than an evil puppet, previously used to portray Cruella Deville. :)

By the way, for everybody thinking that Joan Collins WAS that great whatever this stupid old man says, some information that might just floor you: The part was initially offered to Raquel Welch. Now you lot can argue till you're blue in the face, but Raquel, she'd have been a wonderful Alexis, not this caricature... Oh, give the old lady her due, Joan did do a good job, she lived up to being the character, but... Come on, Blake and Joan-as-Alexis, together? I could never picture the refined old gentleman with the round vowels with that witchy shrew.
