List of Dynasty (2017 TV series) characters

In season one, heiress Fallon Carrington (Elizabeth Gillies) is unhappy to find her billionaire father Blake (Grant Show) engaged to Cristal Flores (Nathalie Kelley), a rival employee at the family company.

The reboot updates several elements from the 1980s original, including moving the setting from Denver, Colorado to Atlanta, Georgia; making Steven's homosexuality a nonissue to Blake; and changing gold digger Sammy Jo from a woman to a gay man.

[6] Staunchly protective of the Carringtons, majordomo Joseph Anders (Alan Dale) is threatened by Cristal's presence as the new would-be mistress of the mansion,[6] as well as her scheming nephew Sam.

Dominique Deveraux (Michael Michele), Jeff and Monica's mother and Blake's half-sister, reappears in "New Lady in Town" after abandoning her family for a singing career in New York years before.

In our version, it made dramatic (and soapy) sense to have Matthew injured in the accident, sending his wife, Claudia, to the Carringtons' doorstep to give Cristal the news that her new husband may have killed her ex-lover.

[9] Another flashback in "The Best Things in Life" reveals that Iris' abusive boyfriend Alejandro Raya (portrayed by Luis Fernández), who is Sam's father, was responsible for Cristal's miscarriage.

In "I'll Settle for a Prayer", Fallon finds Iris living in Idaho, consumed with guilt, and brings her back to Atlanta to reconcile with Sam and a terminally ill Daniel before his death.

In the second season episode, "That Witch", Luella is displeased to learn that Fallon and Michael are engaged despite the Carringtons' involvement in the Clark County water scandal that caused James' death.

[40] Learning that she is the President of the Atlanta Historical Alliance in the season three episode "Wild Ghost Chase", Sam faces off with Melissa, who refuses to cancel the media day she has planned for his new hotel La Mirage even though its designer was an infamous homophobe.

Steven's search for his older brother Adam—kidnapped as an infant and never returned due to a trigger-happy police officer botching their exchange—leads him to Hank Sullivan (portrayed by Brent Antonello) in "A Line from the Past".

[47][48] Following the sudden death of her brother Max, Laura Van Kirk (portrayed by Sharon Lawrence) arrives in Atlanta in "The Butler Did It" to check up on her son Liam, as well as to meet her new daughter-in-law Fallon.

[54][55] In "Crazy Lady", Ada sets up Van Kirk Industries to be implicated in a drug smuggling operation, fully aware that Michael and Jeff would be caught in the FBI raid.

[57][58] Introduced as Liam's girlfriend in "A Champagne Mood", Ashley Cunningham (portrayed by Taylor Black) comes from a wealthy New York-based family who are close with the Van Kirks.

In "Motherly Overprotectiveness", Cristal (Ana Brenda Contreras) seeks out the help of her estranged family for a scheme to obtain land from Jeff Colby in order to build a stadium for the Atlantix.

Cristal's brother, Beto (portrayed by Geovanni Gopradi), delivers the papers needed to put the land in her name, as well as a plane ticket to go visit their father.

In the fourth season, Beto seeks Cristal's help in "A Good Marriage in Every Sense" to provide the FBI with proof of their father's illegal gambling operations.

After Trixie's body is discovered in the Carringtons' lake, Evan becomes reacquainted with Fallon in "Wild Ghost Chase", pretending to forgive her only to then sabotage her community service in an attempt to see her end up in jail.

His interest in Dominique's storyline waning, Reed Gaudens of Hidden Remote wrote in his review of "Shoot from the Hip" that "Vanessa found a way to pull me back in when she threw her mother under the bus at Monica's Thanksgiving dinner.

With Liam expressing no interest in being a father, Heidi agreed to give the child up for adoption, only to change her mind at the last minute and raise her son, Connor (portrayed by John Jackson Hunter), all on her own.

Liam remains oblivious of this until Heidi returns ten years later in "You See Most Things in Terms of Black & White", Connor wanting to know his father.

Ryan (portrayed by Lachlan Buchanan) works as a stripper by the name of Scorpio at The Anaconda Club where Fallon holds her bachelorette party in "My Hangover's Arrived".

[63] Leo Abbott (portrayed by David Aron Damane) is a contractor hired by Sam in "A Public Forum for Her Lies" to work on La Mirage's expansion.

Eva (portrayed by Kara Royster) is introduced in "She Lives in a Showplace Penthouse" as the personal assistant of Claudette Kingsley, an executive Fallon wants to secure for her home shopping network.

Stacey Moore (portrayed by Samantha Massell) meets Fallon and Liam through a surrogacy agency in "Vicious Vendetta", a single mother to a son away at boarding school who specializes in archaeology.

This comes to light ahead of Fallon and Liam's baby shower in "More Power to Her", when Stacey discovers what she believed to be saline in Adam's bag, used to treat mushroom poisoning from the dosed tea that he gave her.

[17] According to Patrick, Willy is a revised version of Walter Lankershim (portrayed by Dale Robertson), a wildcatter who is a friend to Matthew and opposes Blake in the first season of the original series.

[23][24] Desperate to get money for his mother in Venezuela, Sam has his friend Ramy Crockett (portrayed by Mustafa Elzein) rob Carrington Manor in "Guilt Is for Insecure People".

[25] Dragging Steven home from his drug-fueled bender in New York with Ted, Thomas criticizes Blake's management of both his company and family, including Fallon's defection to Jeff.

Nathan "Mac" Macintosh (Jeremy Davidson) is a hitman hired by Blake that he comes to believe is responsible for the murder of Mark Jennings and the reason for Cristal's miscarriage.

Michael provides security measures at La Mirage, but Sam posts a photo of him and Victor with Ashanti to Instagram which results in the Mafia finding his whereabouts.
