Like a facially reconstructed phoenix rising from the ashes, Alexis makes her long-awaited return to "Dynasty" in Friday’s fall finale (The CW, 9/8c), just in time for the trial of the century.

TVLine has an exclusive first look at Elaine Hendrix as the new Alexis Carrington, who clearly still knows how to make an entrance.



The role of Alexis, made famous by Joan Collins during the original "Dynasty‘s" run (1981–89), was first played by Nicollette Sheridan on The CW.

But when Sheridan abruptly left the show midway through Season 2, producers were forced to get creative. Through the magic of plastic surgery, Elizabeth Gillies — who already plays Alexis’ daughter Fallon — temporarily assumed the role, until Alexis decided that she needed a new start (and another new face).
