The significance of Dominique Devereaux is the fact that unlike everyone else in the show, she was born poor and had to bust her ass to not only rise from poverty, but achieve her own wealth. Her years of struggle and strife are what made her the powerhouse she was, and ultimately the most respectable character on that show.
"What a lovely fantasy, Alexis and what a lovely truth." Dominique's delivery was always perfect. Refined, class, elegance. And not at all intimidated by Alexis.
I think if Sable and Dominique had joined forces in season 6 and 7 Alexis as great a villain as she is, she would not have been able to handle both of them
@@spsayian2The only one missing From your list is Caress so if you have a trio Sable, Caress and Dominique versus Alexis I think it would’ve been a very interesting season 6, 7 and quite possibly 8.
Alexis called Dominique a saloon singer as if it were the 1800s. "At the moment I'm enjoying some non- burned champagne & velvety smooth caviar; not the kind you serve Alexis". Shade at its highest, and a reference to their first meeting.
Dominique, in my opinion, was brought there to show the world that being Black and a woman always has to be more than qualified than mediocre privileged.
That final line of “ But please remember, I’m used to working with a knife in my back” with her cat open mouth and that deadpan GLARE. 🔪 Hilarious! ….and Joan’s Frosted brown WIG and red CAPE. Another level. This show.
(0:52) ...And WHO should come barging in but YOU! Nobody, but nobody could deliver a line like Diahann Carroll, always placing just the right emphasis on the turn of a phrase. From Julia, to Claudine, to Sister, Sister; to Dynasty, to A Different World, to Eve's Bayou and beyond...her unique presence and quality of timing seldom varied, & never disappointed. Rest In Beauty & Splendor...& SHADE Ms. Carroll!
I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Icon and Legend Diahann Carroll. Born July 17th, 1935- October 4, 2019. She inspired me to pursue 🎭. What a remarkable woman, what a wonderful life.
I'd forgotten how far apart this scene and their season 4 scene in Alexis' apartment were. I wonder how many people watching this the first time got the burnt champagne reference.
phoenixnyc I know this comment is a year old but I had to respond to it because I definitely remember that and for her to bring it up (The burnt champagne and the lack luster brand of the caviar) in this scene were so petty 😂
I was screaming when she said that😂😂😂😂stop it Alexis..But Dominique got that azzz...My Dear woman....omg who writes this stuff👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💕☺️☺️😂😂😂I want those outfits now💕💕💕💕💕
Dominique's makeup was so flawless here. Get into the subtle highlight under her eyes that is not three shades lighter than her skintone but still works to brighten her face. Work, bish.
Yes and back then in the 80's it was really hard for women of color to get good foundation that matched their skin tone. The choices were very limited unlike today. Fashion Fair was a good make up line then.
Never watched Dynasty before this week but I've fallen down an elaborately attired rabbit hole that I'm in no particular rush to climb out of. Never heard of burnt champagne either, such a 1% problem. 😂❤😂
Diahann Carroll was a knock outtttt WOW just Beautiful I remember this I use to Love watching Dynasty with my grandmother. Oh GOD I think I'm old lol Diahann Carroll played a Real Bitch I was a little girl and knew that✔.
anyone who thinks dominque sounded ghetto does not know what ghetto sounds like....diahann carrol has a very unique speaking voice and that in knw way suggests her ethnicity much less black...4 whatever a black person sounds like....and the character of dominque/and diane carrolwere/are very articulate....and sadly all though Dominique was over 30 yrs ago and we have a black president...racism is alive n kicking in the good ol' usa and always will be....dominque came to dynasty with such flare n fan fare that after few episodes her character became useless/pointless..that is because the producers were in unchartered territory and did not wnt to risk backlash frm their white audience...sable did more in one season to rattle alexis cage than blake or dominuque did the entire run of the show...
People can not accept the fact that we do have 1% blacks in this country, like President Johnson said make a poor white man think he's better than a rich and educated black man or woman and he will always give you all his money
Both beautiful talented ladies! Their even classy with their sassy shady comments to each other! Love these great actresses Dianne Carroll and Joan Collins! RIH Ms Dianne Carroll 💝
Dominique " dominates" the shade fest once again ! She broke Alexis's face with the reminder of Alexi's bad taste in serving burnt champagne and saying hey ,,," bring it " in her statement that she's used to working with a knife in her back! She reduced Alexis to the last denominator!
Ms Carroll was devine no one could of played that part but her she is turely missed the world has less class when she pass a way what a beautiful woman she was you are truly miss rip ❤ 2:362:362:36
“Surely you can swallow those facts….without, choking on them.” -Dominique And Alexis come gliding in, all flawless shoulder pads and swirls owning 25% of oils in the South China Sea I never watched the new Dynasty, the original broke the mold.
i keep hearing people say "camp" do you mean, "campy?" has society really gotten that lazy that you can't even add on an extra letter/syllable? really. what's next? t w o t f l o e w? "talking with only the first letter of each word?" then what comes next? telepathy? then soon you'll all be like those people off of Wall-E! LAZY! for god's sake!
***** i actually have 3 lives....the board game...the cereal and my own....plus i have a few old tapes of one life to live........hmmm......i'll have to do a count and get back with you.........
***** no what i got is living in a world for full of self rightious lazy hypocrites....you see where i come from....the only kind of camp i have ever heard, is a camping trip....so fucking sue me that i've never heard it used in that context before....i guess that makes me not as perfect as you. but i stand my ground on my (wrong) assumption, maybe if today's generation wasn't into shorting every thing down because they are too lazy to speak full words! and i know this for a fact...its one thing to abbr but another to go overboard with it. yeah a lot of what im saying now isn't spelled correctly or abbr or what not, i dont give a fuck...i dont speak with each word as one fucking syllable. your just mad that i hit a nerve...if you didn't take offense to what i originally.said, then you wouldn't have cared to comment. kids today are going to grow up or a few generations from now is going to grow up and be like those fat people on the movie WALL-E...too damn lazy to move. get over it and suck my non existent balls! :)
SuperBullaMan: If you want camp, you should totally check out Ambitions on OWN, starring Robin Givens. It is currently on the mid-season break, but it is a great update to the classic 80s throwback night time soaps.
Dominique Deveraux ABSOLUTELY LIGHTS up the screen!! A brilliant actress, and my oh my she dressed great!! Enter Dominique Deveraux part 2!!! 💯 % SHADE!!!!!
This is the way a TV fight should occur. Nothing physical, and no obscene language. I was nearly breathless wondering which would come out on top in this round's war of shady words.
2:21 "That is your privilege, Alexis. But please remember, I'm used to working with a knife in my back." Whoever wrote this episode needs to be commended for excellent writing, especially with the lines they gave Diahann Carroll for her role.
*DOMINIQUE* : "....I'm used to working with a KNIFE, in my back...." (2:26) *ALEXIS* : (thinking) "....so, where do want that knife, NOW, Gal!? ..." (2:30) ...ha-HAAA!!
To this day i use the "saloon singer" line every time i meet people or run into acquaintances i don't like and nobody gets the reference. Ah the young generations are missing out ! Thank God for the gays .
Dominique was holding onto that burnt champagne for almost 2 years. Love it.
First impressions are the lasting ones.
I know, I love Diahann Carroll
For reals...
🤣🤣🤣 why?😂😂😂
InstaBlaster
Alexis "I own 25% of the South China Sea Oil leases"
Dominique "Bish, please, I own 37.5% & Blake left me in charge. Check & Mate!"
Alexis and Dominique together would never let the Biden administration get in the way of their oil leases. It would be no match.
Ohhh the calculations! 😂.... tiktoker G.A.TURKS
"that is your privilege" LMAOO underrated how shady that line is
I was hoping someone commented on that line 😂😂😂
This show was never underrated you just had to be around during the original airing
@@bobbybrown1389 they said the line not the show
At the moment I am having some lovely nonburned champagne and velvet smooth caviar-- not the kind you serve, Alexis. SNAP.
Upper echelon style shadefest 😂💅🏻
GANGSTA!
Joan Collins' opening line in American Horror Story is a clear a nod to these scenes in Dynasty.
All you needed was to add Season 9 Sable to that shade fest....pow!!!!!
@Herbie Shevers lol hell yeah lol
The significance of Dominique Devereaux is the fact that unlike everyone else in the show, she was born poor and had to bust her ass to not only rise from poverty, but achieve her own wealth.
Her years of struggle and strife are what made her the powerhouse she was, and ultimately the most respectable character on that show.
Legion Ivory plus she is the only actor or actress on the show that has the background of a nomination of awards for acting..
T J That’s untrue.
Legion Ivory well said!
Which is probably why the old man made her the executor of his will.
I thought Alexis had dragged herself up by her bra straps too?
Diann Carroll and Joan Collins said how much they admired each other and enjoyed their scenes on Dynasty.
Honey Chiles
Honey Chiles its Diahann Carroll.
i believe them two are good friends in real life, at least that's what Joan said in one of her recent interviews
Yes in real life they have been good friends for years.
Diahann Carroll
“Lovely non-burnt champagne and velvet smooth caviar” 🤣🤣🤣
"What a lovely fantasy, Alexis and what a lovely truth." Dominique's delivery was always perfect. Refined, class, elegance. And not at all intimidated by Alexis.
...This is true.
Lol. True dat! And she had much better hair...or was it a wig??
@@ChrisMaceiko-xh6rhProbably a wig from the same stylist as Alexis.
Yes she's what I like to call a vintage boss 💯💯💯 So beautiful and classy. I STRIVE to be that fierce. ❤❤❤❤
ROTFLMAO at the reference to the champagne and caviar scene when they first met! R.I.P. Diahann Carroll ❤️
Good catch!! 🔎👁️🍾🥂
Wish Dominique story with buying into Denver Carrington would have lasted longer and more detailed
a True Black Goddess
Dominique is 100% class. She's magnificent.
Diahann Carroll such beauty and elegance
Nixx Skii - I could not agree more. Diahann Carroll was simply stunning and effortlessly classy
She was an amazing character ahead of her time! Diahann Carroll was and will remain incomparable. RIP Ms. Carroll, you have earned your rest...
Dominique was a kick ass and take no prisoners kind if person. In short, ruthless. She has my vote!
100% class, 37.5% South China Sea oil leases
Dominique Deveraux is goals AF 😍💜
Dominique was the Answer for Alexis!!! Loved her
DEFINITELY
I think if Sable and Dominique had joined forces in season 6 and 7 Alexis as great a villain as she is, she would not have been able to handle both of them
THE ANSWER...
@@spsayian2The only one missing From your list is Caress so if you have a trio Sable, Caress and Dominique versus Alexis I think it would’ve been a very interesting season 6, 7 and quite possibly 8.
Forget everything else, Alexis got served when Dominique threw the shade about the champagne and caviar.
2:25 “But please remember, I am used to working with a knife in my back!”
And THAT was all the warning Dominique gave Alexis.
Alexis called Dominique a saloon singer as if it were the 1800s. "At the moment I'm enjoying some non- burned champagne & velvety smooth caviar; not the kind you serve Alexis". Shade at its highest, and a reference to their first meeting.
😂😂😂
Dominique, in my opinion, was brought there to show the world that being Black and a woman always has to be more than qualified than mediocre privileged.
I'm use to working with a knife in my back! classic
Style, Elegence & Grace! What an era!
"I´m used to work with a knife in my back" I love Alexis and Dominique.
Monica Blom 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
That final line of “ But please remember, I’m used to working with a knife in my back” with her cat open mouth and that deadpan GLARE. 🔪 Hilarious! ….and Joan’s Frosted brown WIG and red CAPE. Another level. This show.
This was a great show back then the women dressed great and not everyone had the same look
Yes each woman had her own recognizable style. I'd rather have style any day over being trendy.
Or fake bodies!
lol it's 'Shade Fest 2: The Sequel"
exactly, so much shade indeed!
That look at 0:39-0:41 : When you know you've been shaded hard, and got nothing to clapback with. :-D
(0:52) ...And WHO should come barging in but YOU!
Nobody, but nobody could deliver a line like Diahann Carroll, always placing just the right emphasis on the turn of a phrase. From Julia, to Claudine, to Sister, Sister; to Dynasty, to A Different World, to Eve's Bayou and beyond...her unique presence and quality of timing seldom varied, & never disappointed.
Rest In Beauty & Splendor...& SHADE Ms. Carroll!

Referencing their first meeting.
Two beautiful women two brilliant actresses
“Work together?...sarcastic chuckle! Love her so very much!
BLACK EXCELLENCE AT IT'S BEST. RIP MS DIANNAH CARROLL. 😊😊😊😊😊
😂😂😂😂
So Alexis tried to throw her little 25% around but Ms Deveraux had to let her know that she owns 37.5%...shots fired!!!! 🔫🔫
Dominique countered Alexis at every turn.
"surely you can swallow those facts without choking on them'! #Masterclass of shade
I just loved it
Their makeup was flawless. Oh how I loved those divas!!
DIAHANN CARROLL WAS SUCH A BEAUTY. REST IN PEACE DIAHANN CARROLL.
I'd forgotten how far apart this scene and their season 4 scene in Alexis' apartment were. I wonder how many people watching this the first time got the burnt champagne reference.
phoenixnyc I know this comment is a year old but I had to respond to it because I definitely remember that and for her to bring it up (The burnt champagne and the lack luster brand of the caviar) in this scene were so petty 😂
LMAO. Alexis and her ghetto ass serving burnt champagne and great value caviar.
Reggie Addison Jr LOL!! Not Great Value??!! LOL!
✋✋
Great value is Walmart brand!! 😂😂😂 Walmart caviar! Hilarious!
I was screaming when she said that😂😂😂😂stop it Alexis..But Dominique got that azzz...My Dear woman....omg who writes this stuff👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💕☺️☺️😂😂😂I want those outfits now💕💕💕💕💕
love them both. great actresses.
Even the way Joan removes her gloves is extra
That is the proper way to remove gloves without damaging them.
I know...but it’s just so over the top. She was trying to show Dominique she was in charge. But Dominique showed her, she was wrong
totally true
That is Joan's acting skill. Little gestures, expressions. Her eye rolls are fabulous!
@@derikshopinski5651 how come tv stations don't show reruns of nighttime soaps?
Those last words by DD still strikes cords 35 years later
"what a lovely fantasy alexis .. and what a lovely truth"
The way she delivered that line....."a lovely truth."
Best part of this scene for sure
She said that. I lived for that phony grin.
It was a way of saying to Alexis, "I knew you was coming. That's why I am filling in for Blake.".
I want a compilation of Alexis saying "what are you doing here?"
Nearly 40 years later and I'm still in awe of that woman's beauty!!!!
To have seen this in a gay bar in the 80's , must have been, heaven.
This comment!! 😂😂😂
@p a ...This is true! : )
It was heaven seeing it at home!
Oh my god THE FASHIONS...
Alexis wasn't ready
Are they ever?
No. She. Was. NOT Ready!
Dominique had her number.
Dominique's makeup was so flawless here. Get into the subtle highlight under her eyes that is not three shades lighter than her skintone but still works to brighten her face. Work, bish.
Chaz Michael yassss
Didn't she give you all of the things?
Chaz Michael total package
She looks stunning.
Yes and back then in the 80's it was really hard for women of color to get good foundation that matched their skin tone. The choices were very limited unlike today. Fashion Fair was a good make up line then.
I loved Diahann Carroll role on Dynasty. That's why the new Dynasty could not match the greatness of the old show.
@zacthecatty35 It's like a bunch of low class twits having it out at the local suburban shopping mall. SO not what Dynasty is supposed to be!
Dominique and Sable were great rivals for Alexis.
I wished they tackled her at the same time
"I'm used to working with a knife in my back"!! I can so relate, Dominique!❤😂
This has to be one of the best Alexis - Dominique scenes of the series
Next to their initial meeting, and the after trial scene at La Mirage.
Never watched Dynasty before this week but I've fallen down an elaborately attired rabbit hole that I'm in no particular rush to climb out of. Never heard of burnt champagne either, such a 1% problem. 😂❤😂
Welcome to the party, young person. I grew up watching it, and it's still funny
Now I get the significance of the burnt champagne when Joan Collins was on AHS Apocalypse.
One of the best characters and best actresses of this show.
"I am used to working with a knife in my back!" she said that she is aware of the shark in front of her lolo. Love this show.
R.I.P Diahann Carroll. You were always a class act.
Diahann Carroll was a knock outtttt WOW just Beautiful I remember this I use to Love watching Dynasty with my grandmother. Oh GOD I think I'm old lol Diahann Carroll played a Real Bitch I was a little girl and knew that✔.
I am glad I grew up watching the original Dynasty.

Nobody thought she sounded ghetto. Damn troll!
Both beautiful talented ladies! Their even classy with their sassy shady comments to each other! Love these great actresses Dianne Carroll and Joan Collins! RIH Ms Dianne Carroll 💝
When Domminque said she is used to working with a kinve in her back, she spoke like a real black person.
"If you want something, ANYthing, you're going to have to deal with me." ICONIC!! RIP Ms. Caroll. ♥💙
Battle of the B*tches! Loved it!
Runner legend two real queens of the show
True!
I like the fashion of the 80s. Classy and elegant.
Extremely, and so sorely missed. We didn't know how good we had it back then.
I love Dynasty!!!!!! Thank You for posting this!!!!
Alexis's outfit is EVERYTHING.....
Gorgeous, just gorgeous!!! The sophistication and fashion of these ladies....again, I STRIVE to be as fierce as these ladies characters ❤❤❤
Dominique " dominates" the shade fest once again ! She broke Alexis's face with the reminder of Alexi's bad taste in serving burnt champagne and saying hey ,,," bring it " in her statement that she's used to working with a knife in her back! She reduced Alexis to the last denominator!
The look on alexis' face was priceless.
I love how Alexis rolls her eyes at 1:02 - 1:30!
Because she was caught out there trying to serve burned champagne!
The shadefest starts
LOVE Saloon singer
Infinite cries
I know Dominique really wanted to say “bitch please”?! HPLMAO!
The burnt champagne 😂😂😂
"That is your privilege, Alexis. But please remember, I am used to working with a knife in my back."
Dominique was clearly unbothered.
Ms Carroll was devine no one could of played that part but her she is turely missed the world has less class when she pass a way what a beautiful woman she was you are truly miss rip ❤ 2:36 2:36 2:36
If there was anymore shade between these two women there would be an eclipse.
THE Best Gowns and Clothes A GIRL CAN wear. love them all.
Ms. Carroll, God bless you! There will never be another like you. RIP
Those outfits !!!! Brilliant
Every time I hear “burnt champagne” I think of PRAYTELL from POSE‼️🤔🤦🏽♂️😂😂😂
“Surely you can swallow those facts….without, choking on them.” -Dominique

HOW many times in this show does someone say, "What are YOU doing here?"
She's wonderful
Y'all gon' make me revisit these episodes! LOL
"No, no, absolutely NOT!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣Dominique is colder than the cosmos chile!!! SHIT! Now this is how you throw proper shade with class okay!!!
That is YOUR priviledge Alexis.... WHEWWWW😂😂😂😂😂
This is the way a TV fight should occur. Nothing physical, and no obscene language. I was nearly breathless wondering which would come out on top in this round's war of shady words.
The dialogue between Alexis and Dominique is priceless.
But Dominique and Alexis did fight on the show. 😂😂😂 They fought in Alexis bedroom and tussled all over the room.
@@Hervinbalfour I know that they did. I just preferred when their fights were verbal.

To this day i use the "saloon singer" line every time i meet people or run into acquaintances i don't like and nobody gets the reference. Ah the young generations are missing out ! Thank God for the gays .
I would have said "Nightclub singer, get it right"
I like it Champagne and caviar in the middle of day...it was probably a Monday.
It may have been Thursday. For some reason, rich people like to eat caviar on Thursday. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Not the $1.99 fish bait you serve Alexis !!😂
“Not the kind you serve Alexis” 😂😂😂😂 in other worlds “you low budget bitch”😂😂😂😂
BOY , THOSE WHERE THE DAYS. NOT THE REALITY TRASH THAT IS ON KNOW.
The shade of it all!!!
Surely you can swallow those facts without choking on them!!!! BOOM!!!
No, no, absolutely not!..she got Alexis together!!
At 1:41..DOMINIQUE!!! Ha ha. Love how Alexis said her name!
Domineeeek.....
lol how messy 😂😂😂😂😂 she held onto that burnt champagne and cheap caviar 😂😂😂😂. very messy
It looked like they were on the verge of cracking up reciting those lines to each other -
These 2right here.....luv it
