Alexis and Sammy Jo's First Meeting

[@Kelaiah01]

Such a pleasant introduction between two characters who would wind up hating each other sooooooooooooo much. XD

[@geraldbull8349]

I love this scene. Alexis doing what she does best, I love it when Sammy Jo asks her name and Alexis just walks away. I will fill it in my Name is Glamour Bitch and don't you forget it! Lol

[@robertpiarulli6230]

I loved those 2 together. They had some great scenes. Glad they were added to season 2 to give Dynasty a big boost.

[@mukunimulundika5359]

Alexis is NOT asked her name... The question didn't even register to her...😩😩😩😩😂😂😂😂😂

[@petec434]

"Ohio...beautiful state. I drove through there once." Alexis simply oozed venom in seasons 2 and 3.

[@adamcarrington2818]

So, so true. Her (and Dynasty's) best seasons. Although the last third of season 4 comes close.

[@petec434]

@@adamcarrington2818 I think of S4 as "the Love season". Blake wooed Krystle and then they got re-married, Fallon had her fling with Peter and then she and Jeff fell in love, Alexis and Dex, Steven and Claudia were married, even Adam and Kirby started pulling together in a weird sort of way. A lot of romance!

[@adamcarrington2818]

@@petec434Very true, I've never thought of it like that before, what a lovely way to look at it! Maybe that's why for me though around half of it lacks the bite of the previous two seasons. Though of course it's still brilliant. With Alexis, Dr. Nick, Logan Rhinewood and eventually Sammy Jo, for me S2 is definitely the revenge season. Perhaps S3 is a mixture of both! (With more of an emphasis I think on revenge, thanks, of course, to Alexis and Adam!)

[@geraldbull8349]

Yes had my Schoffer drive my limo thru Ohio...lol and When Sammy Jo asks what your name Alexis just walks away classic. Alexis should swayed back and turned her head as she walked away. And said my Name is Bitch but a good one AKA Alexis! You ll see later. Could have left Sammy Jo with her Jaw dropped...lol

[@JMLCK78]

"I flew over it once" would've been even better.

[@strikeleather6503]

"Two poached eggs on wholewheat toast and make sure the orange juice is freshly squeezed just before it's served to her" 😂😂😂

[@alexisdiva9]

Minor quibble: it was actually "make sure the orange juice is freshly squeezed just before it's served to him". Alexis in her own way was being a concerned Mom, supervising Steven's breakfast - this was right when Steven moved back into the mansion, having reconciled with Blake after nearly drowning in the pool when he hit his head on the pool ladder falling in while drunk after arguing with Blake.

[@BerryNiceToMeetYou]

Actually, she said "Make sure that the orange juice is freshly squeezed just before it's sent up to his room"

[@buggiejohnson3203]

You have to love the shiny pants!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@hadihatab3126]

They were called Disco Pants in the late 70s/early 80s, they were high waisted, shiny with a tight straight leg. American Apparel brought them back in 07.

[@Lars1996]

I like them 😁

[@bernardca]

Great scene from Season 2, of what would become a long-time feud between those two characters. Classic Dynasty!

[@Dynasty2828]

I have felt that Sammy Jo Reece was the Sydney Andrews of Dynasty.

[@cliff9685]

Ahhhhh the beginning of another tumultuous relationship on Dynasty. Heather Locklear was so fun in those early years. Those short shorts, her penchant for the demolition derby racing and her general classlessness were a fantastic contrast to holier than thou Aunt Krystle. I thought it was so fun for Krystle to have this trashy little niece around lol. Krystle brought in a lot of “different” elements to the manor, much to Alexis annoyance. Alexis still feels she’s this regal lady of the manor on her high horse and here’s this girl sliding down the banister in electric blue spandex! lol. If I’m remembering correctly, wasn’t there a scene where Alexis called her Trampy Jo lol?? The looks and snide remarks Alexis would give to her were priceless!!

[@Kelaiah01]

Your description of Krystle really isn't all that accurate, though I agree Sammy Jo was fun in those days. And no, Alexis never called her "Trampy Jo". She called her "trampy" or "tramp". It was the internet who came up with the nicknames "Trampy Jo" and "Sammy Ho". I personally just go with "Trampy Ho." XD

[@cliff9685]

Kelaiah01 maybe that’s just my Alexis mindset talking lol😉🥂

[@triciajohansen9295]

Why was Heather Locklear's voice so low?

[@aarongutierrez1597]

Tricia Johansen sounds like a voice over

[@astrogliding]

Probably voice over due to her stair sliding stunt.

[@rhymeandreasoning]

That was so not Heather sliding down the bannister. The stuntwomans wig gives it away.

[@reinholdkorner6473]

Sammy Jo 👍

[@swordscot]

Sammy Jo was a huge Spandex fan back in the day it seems

[@MaryBlanche]

I think it’s a stunt double who slides down the banister-looks like a wig from the back 😊

[@מאמין-ג6נ]

of course it is you could see by the hair . But in season 6 it s really Heather who is sliding before she meets Clay Falmont .

[@erichwyatt6554]

Locklear's nasally sound is so strange .What was wrong ??? It did change later on

[@Nocturne22]

She had a deviated septum and got it fixed a couple years later.

[@jeanlucdrion1152]

And now head towards her private investigator with this new information.

[@karenfromfinasse8430]

God She was Beautiful

[@shacks29]

I forgot how bad the lighting was in the earlier Seasons....glad they set designer reworked the Staircase.

[@adamcarrington2818]

Nothing at all wrong with the lighting. In fact the more shadowy, dimly-lit evening scenes such as this one that were common in the first few seasons of the show were crucial in adding a unspoken air of menace, mystery and intrigue, particularly in the Mansion. An example here being how Alexis walks down the shadowy passage without answering Sammy Jo's question about who she is. But yes, overall I also agree the Mansion staircase/entrance set re-design from Season 3 onward was an improvement.

[@adamcarrington2818]

@@Onry1 This scene is from season 2. And I think only the pilot was filmed at Filoli, the rest was filmed on set.

[@Onry1]

@@adamcarrington2818 You're right! My bad. Plus the studio staircase is a lot different from the actual one...

@Ricky Mills What exactly? The lighting? The stairscase?

[@30dizzy34]

They got married and had me.....No they didn't.

[@annabelle2ful]

How does Alexis get off giving orders to the staff?

[@thetruthisthelight0910]

She was the former mrs. Carrington whom most of the staff remembers as being the lady of the house, she is very wealthy, in her own, her supercilious English accent is intimidating for some, she is Steven's bio mother, and really, for all his talk-- except a few times, & via Krystal , Blake really never countermanded her ability to give orders to the staff, plus, remember, at one time, I don't know re this scene and I don't remember, she was actually living ON THE PROPERTY in a deeded little house, and using the amenities of the main house, and its' servants and Joseph.

[@ers-tj4to]

It was nice that viewers got to catch a glimpse of how Alexis ran things in the mansion before boring Krystle showed up.

[@dmitriygromyshev]

I love Heather

[@hardren101]

when Danial Reece was 1st introduced his primary business was publishing n horse breeding was a side business/hobby n his worth was est 2 be above $200m (in an early convo with krystle he mentions he is as rich as blake).....then somewhere they segued n made horse breeding his primary business n while they conveniently omitted a dollar value of his holdings when he died.....you did not get them impression that sammy jo inherited anywhere near a $100m n by s9 she was in financial trouble n by the reunion movie she was ttly broke n reverted back to the sleeze she was when she was 1st introduced....

[@alexisdiva9]

Alexis excels in subtle snooping right here - she would have been great in the CIA.

[@MikeP-sq6be]

I think Sammy Jo was supposed to make things trashy like Dallas. Like she was a big nod to Dallas on that show.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

Joan looked terrific here. Great hair, lovely blouse. Eventually she would end up a mixed bag from one show to another, with severe pulled-back hairdos or prison matron suits or stupid hats. It was odd; half the time she'd look so elegant and impressive, but in another scene she'd be a fashion blunder. It was erratic. Not sure if the show's designer Nolan Miller had control over every outfit.

[@tonyatmidnight]

Collins was more bohemian in her first season, dressing like a free-spirited art professor, and then gradually became more and more a walking Carol Burnett sketch as the years wore on, her wardrobe reflecting not only Alexis' catapult to the creme of corporate society, but also the character's increasing campiness. Alexis in her initial season was a great character, painting, dropping in uninvited to intrude and interfere, sipping champagne while eating take-out pizza. She really was something unique and individual. v.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

@@tonyatmidnight Very well put. That was her in a nutshell when we first got to know her.

[@nycp1969]

@@tonyatmidnight Excellent analysis. The show itself had more nuance in seasons 1-3, maybe 4. Alexis does things then you can't imagine is later years, when she is mostly showcased entering and leaving rooms, getting off planes, descending staircases, sprawling on sofas or twirling on office chairs. I love the well alimonied but not independently wealthy early Alexis who hangs out in the Carrington kitchen pretending to make coffee, consulting with a psychic or buying soda from a hospital vending machine. The wardrobe evolution fits her pivot from well to do sophisticated divorcee to oil mogul, but it's actually a process that Joan has discussed in interviews. She said they actively tried different looks before arriving at the over-the-top power suit with the ever increasing shoulder pads. She's mentioned the pirate blouses, like this one, she sometimes wore. I love the variety of hair styles she wore early on, the bangs and especially the pulled back look and the flip. I think the various iterations of the Nancy Reagan look lacked a sense of fun.

[@AngelaDarleneJackson]

Much of all the best to what you accomplished in your hot self

[@kindspirit7]

I wonder if they hated each other in real life? the scenes look too real between them sometimes. I could see Joan Collins looking down at Heather Locklear especially now with her personal issues. Joan already had said she and Linda Evans did not travel in the same circles off the set and she was closer to Diahann Carroll even after the show ended.

[@stevebbuk]

Finally America perceives the class distinction which has riven the UK for centuries.

[@pekkaollila8505]

"Sabrina Jones", Heather's alter ego in Joan's 1988 novel Prime Time is portrayed quite kindly so I think not.

Totally agree. Heathers acting in the beginning was not good at all. It is especially apparent when she’s in scenes with pros like Joan Collins or Linda Evans . Thankfully she improved as time went on 😎😎😎
