Dynasty: Steven’s Exit

From the eighth season finale: S8EP22: Colorado Roulette
Blake thanks Steven for helping Adam rescue the baby. Steven asks Blake to look after Adam and give support him in the future. Steven says that Adam has the potential to Run Denver-Carrington for Blake someday. Blake asks Steven if anything’s wrong. Steven just says that he and Adam are lucky to have Blake as a father. Struggling with the uncertainty in his life, Steven decides that he needs to leave Denver and regroup. To that end, Steven pens a letter to Blake explaining his need for distance and leaves Denver.
Note: This was Jack Coleman’s final scene in the original Dynasty. For the Reunion, Al Corley returned to the role of Steven Carrington.

Steven no se tenía que haber ido nunca de la serie, salió Steven, Amanda , Dominique ,Kristeen y otros más secundarios como Ben.

[@Magdalenkaization]

Krystle, not Kristeen.

It is always better to leave a letter and never speak to anyone when you leave.

[@ΣΤΕΦΑΝΟΣΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ]

Bye Steven!

[@Wisdom2812]

Adam was trouble coming and going.

[@bkynbiker]

Yeah, don't let the door hit you on the way out. And oh, if you see Al Corley around anywhere, send him back will ya'?

[@devontehuntley6274]

You must not have liked Jack. Out of all the recasts they've done on this show, he was the best replacement and at least they explained why Steven looked different. With Fallon and Amanda, they just didn't care. But having Al come back made no sense given the surgery storyline to explain Jack's use in the role.

[@bkynbiker]

@@devontehuntley6274 You're right, I didn't, thought he was just OK at best. But I'll agree he was far better than either of the girls' replacements certainly

[@devontehuntley6274]

@@bkynbiker Okay, I'll take that. I will admit, he looked more "natural" towards the end of his run here. While an attractive man, Jack looked too "polished" for most of the show, which I guess fits when he's written to have had plastic surgery. Still, a suitable replacement for what it's worth.

[@devontehuntley6274]

Al Corey returning back in the reunion was nice after he was abruptly fired, but storywise it made no sense given they had Steven's appearance change because of the oil rig explosion. So how would he have gotten his old face back to warrant Al returning? That was rather a distraction for me then. -_-

[@KingofPepsi]

Fired? I thought Al Corley wanted to leave the show, so, they switched him.

[@devontehuntley6274]

@@KingofPepsi Hmm, I thought he was fired as a result of him complaining how he didn't like the character so the makers let him go. But doing further research it seems he did leave on his own accordance.

[@KingofPepsi]

@@devontehuntley6274 You're close, but, I don't think he was fired. I read that actor Al Corley wanted to play a gay man, not a bisexual character. So, they let him leave. The one that I know was fired was Catherine Oxenberg, who played the first Amanda. Remember when Sammy Jo and Amanda fell into the hotel's swimming pool fighting, and in the new season, it was another actress?

@@devontehuntley6274 LOL!! - Oh, and as far as Steven getting his original face back in the Reunion special, I consider it as his face fully healed.

[@devontehuntley6274]

@@KingofPepsi ​His face been healed or else he wouldn't have needed to remove those bandages. I just take it as him going somewhere getting surgery to revert back to his old self. As meta as the reunion was especially with the "home video" stuff, there should have been a joke about Steven having his old face again.
