"Dynasty": The “Moldavian Massacre” (Season 5 Finale)


Desperate to hatch its own “Who Shot J.R.?”-style cliffhanger, ABC’s glitzy primetime soap one-upped "Dallas" by putting the entire cast‘s lives in danger.

A mob of terrorists sprayed Amanda and Prince Michael’s wedding with bullets, leaving nearly every cast member in limbo. A bold choice, but we suspected they wouldn’t have the nerve to kill off any major cast members, and we were right.

A pair of minor characters were the only casualties.

Luke Fuller and Ashley Mitchell were the casualties. The scene may have been in Hillary Clinton's mind when she claimed erroneously to have come under sniper fire in Bosnia in March 1996. https://youtu.be/L7KOvzLSFKI

What really made it look bad was that the end of the show, the characters were lying there, seemingly dead.

And in the end, two minor characters were killed.

It definitely went over the top and was the beginning of the show's downward slide. Even for a show like Dynasty, it was too much.
