alexis vs joseph

joseph holds an old scrapbook on alexis'adventures and confronts her

[@pollyannaprinciple5860]

"Impotent voyeur." Dang. She threw all kinds of shade.

[@adamcarrington2818]

"Poor lonely Joseph, still the impotent voyeur". Of all Alexis' countless insults over the years this has to be one of the most devastating, cruel and brutal. And it's a measure of the sheer brilliance of season 2 that's its not directed at Blake or Krystle but at a relatively minor character. Alexis, Joan and season 2 are just sensational.

[@thomasburr8518]

The dialog in this scene is masterful. The writer's really tried hard to impress.

[@Aarona13760]

Yes, I totally agree... the shows earlier seasons, especially this with the entrance of Alexis, the writers really did a good job with not only the dialog but overall stories.

[@phoenixnyc]

Or, in the case of Claudia, Norma Desmond! :-D

[@RS-dm4yo]

And they did.

[@trapperjohnson261]

"That will be all" puts him in his place instantly.

[@xavierdh2000]

TRAPPER JOHNSON Yes indeed!

[@Iluvstars]

Your so right 👍🏼

[@markallen843]

Perfect example of why experience and casting matter...Collins was brilliant in this role...The subtleties she displayed in this scene cannot be taught

[@Aarona13760]

They both had something in common too, they both had a fascination with Blake

[@rees276]

This is one of my favourite ever Dynasty scenes. They are like a pair of vipers checking eachother out. Joan Collins early scenes and storylines were superb. The only women to come close to her are Donna Mills in Knots Landing and Zoe Lucker in Footballers Wives.

[@rabahelaawar2499]

Killing off Joseph was the worst mistake in Dynasty. He should have remained alive.

[@emerybayblues]

Fired b/c he asked for more screen time.

@Draper Scott .. Begere was NOT happy about being killed off.

[@johaniln]

This scene is so well written it should be used in drama schools.

[@Charlottemadeleinec]

I would have liked more scenes between the two of them. They seem to have one another's number.

[@brejnhardt]

They were friends in real life. And when "Joseph" was dead, Joan Collins had a hard time doing her iconic role as Alexis, coz Joan missed him.

[@septiawoman2911]

Joseph gave tit for tat!

[@kimmolindberg8607]

One of my favourite scenes of Dynasty. Joan Collins certainly convinces everybody watching that she is sensational as Alexis. Such a terrific actress.

[@xavierdh2000]

Kimmo Lindberg Yes indeed!

[@paulburrows5022]

Amazing actress

[@strikeleather6503]

Her acting is brilliant here. Look at the subtle changes in her expressions. When Joan is given good scripts and direction, she is a marvellous actress. It's a shame Hollywood didn't give her better films. But then she wasn't going on that casting couch and good for her!

Dam! Krystal needs to take a lesson from Alexis on how to handle the help. Alexis put that sassy old queen in her place lol!

[@michaeltnewyorknights8413]

😂

[@petec434]

Someone needs to watch S1! Krystle bent Joseph over and rode him...and in front of half the staff!

[@kgmaj]

Her early scenes were so much better. Less campy. This is one of her best.

[@phoenixnyc]

Even with the situation--multimillionaire oil barons and their families slugging it out--there was an emotional honesty to the early season scripts that was utterly and completely lacking in the later years.

[@errolpletcher9186]

@phoenixnyc The writers got to caught up in trying to up the level of crazy to keep viewers hooked.

[@saglion]

Poor, lonely Joseph, still the impotent voyeur, lol! Priceless line! Love Alexis!

[@paulburrows5022]

The writing was fantastic in these early episodes. It is a shame they could not keep up that quality of storytelling.

[@gizzycatcat6468]

Don't FUCK with Alexis.

[@Iluvstars]

he is a lonely little messy queen 👑 he wants to wear her dress

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

Many have, believe me LOL

[@richardbrown6163]

She was the Queen of put downs but she met her match with Sable

[@LakewoodDallas]

“Impotent Voyeur” - LOL I’ve been laughing about that for almost 40 years now.

[@hisdivinegraceimperialmaje4178]

absolutely

[@strikeleather6503]

It's a brilliant put down.

[@redmark19666]

They never should have got rid of Joseph. He knew all the family secrets and I love how He hated Alexis. It was perfect.

[@PAULDAVIDSX]

The actor decided to leave the show. He considered that his role was not big enough.

[@SaxonC]

The actor when cast, told the producers that he didn’t want to have any scenes where he’s actually doing work. I guess that made Joseph so reserved and distant to everyone except for Blake and his two kids.

[@FashionistaDude]

And he tried to kill Alexis at least twice.

[@xavierbeurre8064]

I like that Joseph was able to strike a nerve in Alexis. She falters for about 3 seconds starting at 2:31, but she recovered her wit and cool very nicely.

[@harperstacey9604]

Joseph knew everyone's secrets. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

[@PungiFungi]

Sometimes I wonder if Joseph fantasizes himself as the current Mrs. Carrington.

[@cor8129]

LOL....I wondered the same thing too.

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

"Joseph had all of the dirt on 'em!"

Joseph was so legendary. Loved his presence and character, he portrayed.

[@matta8931]

This is one of my favorite scenes Dam Alexis is just shameless!

[@redmark19666]

They needed more scenes like this. Joseph was the Butler J.R. Ewing. He was sorely missed.

[@flilguy]

I like the scenes with the staff. It brings a certain reality to the show. Downton Abbey made good use of scenes with the staff.

[@latinguy67]

totally!!! I love Downton

[@Aeiras2]

Totally agree. Early DYNASTY episodes had definetly hand crafted dialogues. Plus delicious performances (not so campy!). Note Joan theatre acting experience in Season 2 (+) and some in 3

[@6262999]

😂Talk about cutting someone down too about an inch! Alexis reminded him that he’s just nobody with that last line, “That will be all!” 😅

[@eddpower5425]

"Do you Joseph? Alone. At night. In bed? She totally owned him here m

Poor pitiful Joseph …and Lee Begere ..neither is a match for Alexis or Joan Collins . She wiped the floor with him . I remember in season 3 she asked him if he still kept that scrapbook and to crawl back to the house …creep into his room and flip through it as he was boring her .

[@v.a.993]

Though she did him wrong, I would have loved to see her torment Ben after their divorce, the way that she did Blake. That would have made for excellent watching.

[@riotpringle2610]

[@wwrryygf]

I wonder if the Greek Tycoon was zach Powers?

[@cedarabbey]

Initially, it was an obvious cryptic high society reference to Aristotle Onassis and his "wretchedly unhappy" wife Jackie -- but they later retconned it to Zack Powers (which makes it far less mysterious and resonant retroactively, unfortunately).

[@1978TVP]

officially, there is little information about tolerating each other on the set of the series. however, it is worth mentioning, both mrs. bellwood and mr. bergere, who hated mrs. collins the most, even. it helped the production a lot anyway...

[@aprildays1818]

THESE TWO ACT LIKE BROTHER AND SISTER

[@laminage]

He was such a SOB but payback is a mutha! He was nasty to both Krystle and Alexis. He didn't think any Woman was good enough for Blake Carrington.

[@laminage]

She was also on Footballers Wives that some say was the inspiration for The Real Life Housewives Franchise. The Production Company Shed owned by Maureen "Chad" Chadwick, Eileen Gallacher and Ann McManus also was the driving force behind Bad Girls The Prison Drama (1999-2006) is a powerful Company in England. Another TV Creator is Sally Wainwright who created Happy Valley & Last Tango In Halifax that has been on Netflix and PBS. Sarah Lancanshire is one of The UK's Top Actresses.

I am surprised he didn't call her Miss Morrell. Sounds like he knows ALL her 🍵. She was no longer Mrs. Carrington and truly had no power. That's why she eventually had to marry Cecil Colby.
