I wonder if Cristal will get sidelined in s2 as well as stephen. No mention of either of them and not much for them to do... they gave away spoilers about Liam and Fallon, they sooo wanted the fans to get what they want!

spoilers! Off the first season’s shocking finale and fatal fire, the resilient Carringtons will rise from the ashes to redefine themselves after a major personal loss, as well as the sale of their family’s company.Determined to prove herself the savior of their empire, the cunning and charismatic Fallon (Elizabeth Gillies) will attempt to rebrand her family’s dynasty, but a twenty-five year old in charge of liquid billions just might turn out to be a disastrous combination. Almost as disastrous as Fallon’s romances… She finds herself falling in love with a man whose family is wealthier and crazier than her own and of whom Blake (Grant Show) does not approve. Nor does Alexis (Nicollette Sheridan), who will find new ways to meddle in her daughter’s life as only a mother can. Meanwhile, the rivalry between the Colbys and Carringtons heats up, and the families embark on Atlanta’s most outrageous pissing contest, causing new Colbys to come out of the woodwork, namely Blake’s stepsister, the iconic Dominique Deveraux, and the arrival of Anders’ (Alan Dale) daughter threatens to shake things up when she unpacks her trunk-load of secrets about the Carrington family.Despite all of these rocky relationships, and even more surprise guests slated to rear their heads in Season Two, the Carringtons will once again prove that blood is thicker than oil, and that there’s nothing like the diamond-encrusted ties that bind.

Gwen-Stacys I agree. I'm in the minority but Vincent gets on my nerves all the time. But what I agree with you most is that Klaus and Hayley didn't speak at all. I loved the progression of their friendship, it was cut off short. I wish they could at least I don't know acknowledge it, as cheesy as it sounds. They killed Haley way too early, before they got a chance to meet up again. All of them. It's heartbreaking. The rest of the show would be one huge angst-fest. I hated Elijah this episode. I'm proud that's how Haley went but still.. I'll miss her as a mother :(

I hated Haley and Elijah but them not being together was enough for me. I kind of feel sad they killed her off with Elijah still without his memories back. I don't know, it just doesn't feel right. So few episodes, so much angst to come.

I'm sorry to be spamming but I'm extremely bitter. Could someone explain me why critics thought this season was an improvement over season 1? It's a mess!

I have no idea what to think honestly. In season 1 Hannah I've found Hannah annoying but this season I missed her, she brought something special to the show. Hannah as a ghost didn't work, the flashbacks weren't much more interesting either. Clay was even more annoying but I liked their season 1 dynamic, the song made me cry. I see why so many people switched to Hannah & Zach but I'll forever be Hannah & Clay *goes into hiding*. The relationship between Clay and Justin was adorable. So many uninteresting plots, the emphasis on the trial got tired very fast. There wasn't much storyline, the season could have had like 3-4 episodes and it'd be more than enough.

Am I the first? It was too much, I prefer episode 12. I'm tired and have no idea what to think.

I agree, Alex' scenes were fantastic but the first episode seemed off. I hate Skye with Clay so pairing her up with Clay and them making out all the time doesn't feel right. Especially when I see Hannah's face. I've found Clay's behaviour to be odd, yet again he slows everything, never admits, he was one of the weakest part of the episode. This show still is so true to life, I can totally relate but most of the time I felt nothing, it didn't really captivate me.

This. I'd love to know. I hate what's going on with the parks this season - basically only shooting it's like watching a western but.. what happened to my favourite show? There's no coming back from this and I hate that change :( Oh and I miss Hopkins so so much!

Exactly, she poured her heart, her soul and he told her 'no' repeatedly. How do writers think it's cute and OTP? I love Fallon recently, especially in CEO. Seriously I'm very happy they're creating their own show. I love they don't drag things down. I'm going back on forth on Liam, he might turn out to be a bit boring for Fallon long term. Or turn out not so perfect. I have no idea where the show is going but I'd love for Crystal to take some revenge on Blake yet I'm almost sure she'd be back with him because of the accident so that's why I hated this cliffhanger. I have no idea how they can outdo season 1 craziness without things being too extreme, even for this show.

I agree. Fallon and Liam is all over Facebook. I'm not sure how they'd work as a couple, if there is enough chemistry/drama to sustain it. But I believe writers messed up with Culhane, he turned Fallon down too many times. I wonder if they'll change the direction of the show and go with the more popular ship?

It was fun finale, I truly believe Dynasty is a nice, fluffy tv-show, very enjoyable. I'll miss it till season 2! As for the episode I hope everyone survives but I don't want Crystal to have Blake's babies. One thing about the finale pissed me off - Blake was due for some comeuppance yet likely he'll be by Crystal's side in season 2 and everything will be brushed off. The way he treated her etc. There needs to be a resolution to that! Do we still think that Liam is Adam? Oh, and Kelly Rutherfold baby is so unnecessary. Steven is alive and I hope that it will be established right away, that's why I like this show, it's so fast-paced.

Am I the only one who hated the episode? It felt like a zombie show or a western. I miss Hopkins, the psychological aspects of the show, the mystery. I miss the season 1 vibe so so much! Btw, why should I root for hosts? They became so unlikeable.

Why do they hate her?

This was the first episode that I was like Michael is too old for Fallon and has always a tortured face. Liam was a breath of fresh air. If he turns out to be her brother I don't see anyone right for Fallon. Let's be honest, a nice love story never hurts a show. It's a pity Crystal and Fallon can't team up against Blake. Crystal and Michael look more age-appropriate though. I love Sam and Anders. This show is really going full speed but I have no idea what Alexis' intentions are and am disappointed the actress. She doesn't make this show interesting any more which is a pity.

Oh yeah, Jeff was really hot :( I like creative changes they take and that Krystal isn't a typical good blond wife. I like that they're not wasting our time and resolving mysteries quickly, I was shocked to see Mathew gone so soon and Claudia as well. I wonder though if this version isn't Alexis vs Krystal than what would it be? Alexis vs who? I don't believe it'd Fallon, Alexis is her mother after all so they won't go too villainy on them. Actually I don't really see much for Alexis to do, just being a troublemaker popping here and there. After all, the new Dynasty lost its villains and morally grey characters. There needs to be some action so here come Alexis.

You guys are sure that Liam is Adam but Joimiaroxeu, do you think they'll still go for incest relationship when they learn the truth? Do you think the identity of Adam is revealed this season?

Finally I liked this episode but it's a pity they couldn't keep the core 4 together. Remember the times when Beronica was the most liked couple on the show? I miss the girl power! Although I have to admit I love Lili's acting, she has a nice range and can play creepy well! They went through so much that I can't see where it ends. I hated Veronica this episode. She is truly a Lodge yet expects everyone's forgiveness and thinks she's cute. Wannabe Blair. So boring! I believe writers have no clue what to do with her. Varchie also stopped being a true item. I'd love to see Veronica excluded from the group and Archie to turn to Bughead and being a third wheel for a while. Cheryl is a psycho but I feel so sorry for her but unlike Veronica she's interesting. The Lodges storyline is exhausting, almost on a black-hood level. They're the centre of the show now. I hate Archie. It seems like there will be the good team - Fred, Bughead vs the Lodges and it can spice up the show. I hope the Lodges are written out for a while or go back to jail. know Jughead did some terrible things but I can't see Veronica's return to being a good girl. Not with her parents around. I'd prefer her to be a new villain of the show instead of Cheryl now. Now V. is just pointless.
