The Colbys

The Colbys (first titled Dynasty II: The Colbys) was an American soap opera that aired in primetime from november 1985 to March 1987. The series was a spin-off of the more successful Dynasty. The series had a very large budget for its time and had an impressive cast with famous names. ==Plot[ Edit] == Fallon Carrington Colby and Jeff Colby were characters from Dynasty. The series is set in California instead of in Denver. The Colby family is extended and the series revolves around a love triangle between Fallon, Jeff and his cousin Miles Colby.

In the series Dynasty became, after years, contacted by Jason Colby (Charlton Heston), the brother of the deceased Cecil Colby. He wanted to enter into a partnership withBlake Carrington . Together with his family he came to visit at the Carrington family. The family consisted of Jasons older sister Constance Colby Patterson (Barbara Stanwyck), Jasons wife Sable Colby (Stephanie Beacham), their children Miles Colby (Maxwell Caulfield), Monica Colby (Tracy Scoggins) and Bliss Colby (Claire Yarlett).During the feast came Miles showed up with his new girlfriend, Randall Adams that in reality the long-lost ex-wife (and also great love) by his nephew Jeff Colby turned out to be. Fallon suffered from memory loss, but gave up at the sight of the large house a panic attack and drove away with Miles. Jeff from his bedroom window saw the pair drive off. Knowing that his ex was still alive and in the company of his cousin Miles, Jeff took the wrong decision Denver (and so Dynasty) to leave and move to his family in California, hoping to win back for Fallon.

The series began with the return of family Colby of the feast in Denver. New characters included Katharine Ross as Francesca Colby, the mother of Jeff, who, after she was widow of Jasons brother Philip, and her son had to cede to Cecil brother-in-law Zach Powers (Ricardo Montalban), archenemy of Jason Colby. ==Criticism[ Edit] == Although the series was very hyped and in 1986 won the people's Choice Award for new drama series was the series a fiasco in the kijkcijferslijst. In the first season was the highest listing the 43rd place in the second season and the 62nd. The series was called too big a copy of Dynasty and drained after two seasons.

After the series immediately Fallon and Jeff made their comeback in Dynasty and some other characters also appeared in the final season of Dynasty.
