the black lullaby

Time and time again, even through its crazy melodrama and mind blowing twists and turns, Dynasty has been one show that has captivated audiences worldwide. However, this would never have been possible if not for Linda Evans and Joan Collins’ portrayal of the show’s two biggest divas – Krystal & Alexis Carrington.

Yes folks, these were the two women who ruled on TV as they constantly battled each other for the attention of their husband and ex-husband – Blake Carrington.

Krystal was always seen as the epitome of good and Alexis as the bitch from hell. No stone was left unturned to to give these characters their due, from Alexis causing Krystal’s horse-riding accident so that she would loose her baby all the way to the duo’s lilly pond cat-fight, which was rated among the top 20 of the soap world’s top 100 moments.

These women created the platform on which today’s divas such as Stephanie Forrester, Brooke Logan, Erica Kane, Vikki Lord and even Tulsi Virani stand.

They stole each others’ husband, they swapped babies, they caused accidents, they had affairs, they married younger men and slept with the older ones, they pulled each others’ hair out and jumped in ponds cursing and screaming. Yep, they’ve done it all…

They are Krystal and Alexis Carrington and they’re honored here on the black lullaby today on TV Characters week as the third and fourth of ten memorable characters of tv.
