As CBS enjoyed huge success with its prime-time soap opera “Dallas” in the early 1980s, ABC responded with its own prime-time soap.

The Aaron Spelling-produced series “Dynasty” debuted in 1981, featuring the drama surrounding the Carringtons, a wealthy Denver family. John Forsythe and Linda Evans starred in the show and Joan Collins joined the cast in the second season.

After weak ratings in the first season, the producers revamped the series and it became the top-rated show by the 1984 season. Ratings declined steadily thereafter, and the show was canceled at the end of its ninth season in 1989. As the prime-time soap genre died, the ratings for “Dallas” also collapsed. It was canceled in 1991.

Dynasty was a prime time television soap opera that aired on ABC from 1981 to 1989. The series revolved around the Carringtons, a fictional wealthy family, residing in Denver, Colorado.

At the end of the first season, powerful oil tycoon Blake Carrington (John Forsythe) Blake was charged with murder. A veiled surprise witness for the prosecution appeared at the final moment and cast members gasped in recognition. The audience, however, never saw her face. The actress who would play the part hadn’t been hired yet.

In the first episode of the second season, the mysterious witness removes her sunglasses to reveal British actress Joan Collins as a new arrival to the series. Collins’ Alexis Carrington blazed a trail across the show and its storylines.

Ratings for the show’s first season were low, but the fall 1981 arrival of Collins as Blake’s scheming ex-wife saw ratings enter the top twenty. By the fall of 1982, it was a top ten show, and by the spring of 1985, it was the #1 show in the United States. (Wikipedia)
