What happened to the spinoff?

For years, Dynasty fans loved watching Krystle Carrington and Alexis Colby battle for control of the Carrington empire. Their dramatic confrontations became some of the most memorable moments in 1980s television and helped turn the prime-time soap into a cultural phenomenon. According to Central Oregon Daily, those unforgettable scenes also fueled rumors that the actresses behind the characters disliked each other in real life. Decades later, however, Linda Evans is once again making it clear that the stories of an off-screen rivalry were far from the truth.

Because Krystle and Alexis spent so much time plotting against one another and engaging in dramatic confrontations, many people assumed the tension continued after the cameras stopped rolling.

She recently explained that many of the arguments reported by magazines and newspapers never actually happened. While the actresses certainly had to argue and fight as part of the scripts, she insisted they never experienced the kind of personal conflict that fans had been led to believe existed behind the scenes.

She also appreciated producer Aaron Spelling for creating major roles for women at a time when Hollywood often overlooked older actresses. Despite the pressures of television production, Evans remembered the Dynasty years as a time of joy, friendship, and memorable experiences. Her comments offer a very different picture from the one many audiences imagined. (Everett Collection) Interestingly, Collins once admitted she never enjoyed filming the famous catfights that became a trademark of the series, believing Alexis was far more dangerous with words than fists. The latest comments from Joan Collins and Linda Evans remind fans that some of television’s biggest rivalries exist only on screen. Behind one of soap opera’s most famous feuds stood a friendship built on respect, admiration, and shared memories of a remarkable era in television.

I’ve noticed that as I get older, a lot of the stuff adults used to complain about is now exactly what I complain about. That’s just life…one long cycle of everyone slowly realizing they’re not a kid anymore. Kids today will look back on their Labubus one day and think, wow, can’t believe I wanted that so bad. But that’s the whole appeal of nostalgia. For millennials and up, we’re sitting right in the sweet spot, not too old yet, but old enough to laugh without throwing out our backs doing it. Some of us, anyway. These memes have all of it, nostalgia and actual jokes, not just vague relatability for the sake of it. 1. via throwbackmachine 2. via throwbackmachine 3. via throwbackmachine 4. via throwbackmachine 5. via throwbackmachine 6. via throwbackmachine 7. via throwbackmachine 8. via throwbackmachine 9. via throwbackmachine 10. via throwbackmachine 11. via throwbackmachine 12. via throwbackmachine 13. via throwbackmachine 14. via throwbackmachine 15. via throwbackmachine 16. via throwbackmachine 17. via throwbackmachine 18. via throwbackmachine 19. via throwbackmachine 20. via throwbackmachine 21. via throwbackmachine 22. via throwbackmachine 23. via throwbackmachine 24. via throwbackmachine 25. via throwbackmachine 26. via throwbackmachine 27. via throwbackmachine 28. via throwbackmachine 29. via throwbackmachine 30. via throwbackmachine 31. via throwbackmachine 32. via throwbackmachine 33. via throwbackmachine 34. via throwbackmachine 35. via throwbackmachine 36. via throwbackmachine 37. via throwbackmachine 38. via throwbackmachine 39. via throwbackmachine 40. via throwbackmachine 41. via throwbackmachine 42. via throwbackmachine 43. via throwbackmachine 44. via throwbackmachine 45. via throwbackmachine 46. via throwbackmachine 47. via throwbackmachine 48. via throwbackmachine 49. via throwbackmachine 50. via throwbackmachine The post 50 Nostalgic Memes About Childhood Being Funnier In Hindsight appeared first on Pleated Jeans.

Every so often I’ll be standing in a grocery store aisle convinced I’m remembering a snack that never actually existed, some half-formed memory of a weird flavor or a cartoon mascot that my brain has apparently just made up. Then I look it up and it turns out it was real, it just got quietly discontinued at some point without so much as a heads up. Just gone from shelves like it was never there. Turns out there’s an entire corner of Reddit, r/ForgottenFoods, dedicated to exactly this feeling, people collectively grieving snacks the rest of the world moved on from. These disappeared too soon and still live rent-free in a lot of people’s heads. 1. Jell-O Pudding Pops via forgottenfoods 2. Minute Maid Juice Bars via forgottenfoods 3.
