Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The original 1981 Dynasty's Krystle and Alexis catfight in a lily pond is directly referenced in season one's charity gala mud-wrestling fundraiser.
The reboot deliberately diversified the cast, making Fallon's brother Steven gay and Cristal Hispanic, while keeping the original's soapy DNA intact.
