Premiere Date - October 11, 2017
The story starts with Fallon and Steven being called home by their father, Blake Carrington to meet his wife-to-be, Cristal.
Fallon Carrington (Elizabeth Gillies) is a smart and ambitious woman, who is also the Head of Acquisition for Carrington Atlantic, an energy company founded by her grandfather and handed down to her dad.
She expects to be named the Chief Operating Officer only for her to find out that her rival, Cristal Flores (Nathalie Kelley 'The Vampire Diaries') has been sleeping with her father Blake Carrington (Grant Show) and plans to marry him.
Blake Carrington is a deceptive man who has his way of making people carry out his agenda by making it seem like he is doing them a favour. His gay son Steven happens to be one of these people.
Steven Carrington (James Mackay) is an environmental activist who opposes his father's plan to exploit native American land.
The trailer of this series displayed a brawl between Cristal and Fallon, but after seeing the first episode, I couldn't find anything about Cristal that makes her look intimidating to Fallon. Don't get me wrong, Nathalie Kelley will play a good rival to Elizabeth Gillies character, I am not just seeing the rivalry yet.
We'll probably see more of that in subsequent episodes.
I like that this show has a twist and a build up with different stories to look forward to.
The guy Steven had a one night stand with happens to be Cristal's nephew, Sam 'Sammy' Joe (Rafael de la Fuente 'Empire'). This might make you think Cristal's marriage to Blake was planned out, but I don't think that's the case here.
The last scene of the first episode, shows Claudia Blaisdel, accusing Blake for the death of her husband, Matthew Blaisdel (Nick Wechsler), the company's chief field engineer who happens to be Cristal's ex. This makes me wonder if his death was an accident or not.
I am looking forward to how Fallon's fondness for Jeff Colby (Sam Adegoke) and her secret affair with her driver, Michael Culhane (Robert Christopher Riley) plays out.
Cristal has a secret past which no one but the Carrington family's Butler, Joseph Anders (Alan Dale) knows about (this is not a surprise as butlers seem to know everything). But, that's not the case here as Joseph is in charge of hiring staffs.
Fallon decides she doesn't want to be a shadow cast of her father, she wants her own company with her own name. She then makes an investment deal with Jeff and becomes the Chief Executive Officer of Carrington Wind Brier, which now makes her a competition to her father. This is an act of rebellion against her father's decision to marrying Cristal, and making her the Chief Operating Officer.
I am really looking forward to the story build up with more twists and drama. This show has a good start and Elizabeth Gillies as Fallon is just perfect.
