Knocking off the king is not an easy thing. That is what Dynasty did in its fifth season on air. It became the number one show in the U.S. replacing another night time soap about dysfunctional people, Dallas. The year was 1984/85. Pamela Sue Martin had left the show after season four so they brought on Ali McGraw, Rock Hudson and Billy Dee Williams. Plenty of star power. Sadly this was Rock Hudson’s last acting job.
