Development

Although the first episode of season seven, "The Victory", premiered with a high Nielsen rating of a 20.1,^[1] it was overtaken by Magnum, P.I., now in the same time slot on CBS.^[2] Dynasty ultimately fell to #24 in the United States for the season.^[3][4]

During the period between the production of seasons six and seven, Catherine Oxenberg vacated the role of Amanda Carrington,^[5] purportedly due to a salary dispute.^[5] Oxenberg's publicist insisted that the actress left Dynasty voluntarily, while several media outlets reported that she was fired.^[6][7][8] The role was immediately recast with Karen Cellini,^[7][8][9] who appeared for 13 episodes of the series' seventh season before the character was written out in the 1987 episode "The Rig".^[10]

Plot

As the seventh season begins, Blake stops short of killing Alexis, who has taken all of his assets, including the mansion. Claudia has died in the fire she set at La Mirage, and Amanda (now played by Karen Cellini) is rescued by a returning Michael Culhane, Blake's chauffeur from the first season.^[11][12] Blake turns the tables on Ben and Alexis and recovers his wealth, but loses his memory after an oil rig explosion. Alexis finds Blake and, with everyone believing he is dead, perpetuates the belief that they are still married. Living with a clean slate, Alexis finds herself softening to Blake but ultimately tells him the truth as he reunites with Krystle. Krystina receives a heart transplant but is later temporarily kidnapped by Sarah Curtis, the mother of the girl from whom Krystina received her new heart; Sammy Jo's marriage to Clay crumbles and she falls into bed with Steven; Amanda leaves town; and Ben's daughter Leslie arrives. Adam's season-long romance with Blake's secretary Dana Waring culminates in a wedding, which is punctuated in the May 6, 1987 season finale by a car Alexis drove plunged off a bridge into a river and the violent return of a vengeful Matthew Blaisdel (Bo Hopkins).
