Back in 1989, Dynasty was cancelled after nine seasons on ABC. The ratings started tumbling in season six and the show was not cheap to produce (though efforts were made to cut costs towards the end).
Unfortunately for the fans, Dynasty ended with a number of cliffhangers. Fallon (Emma Samms) and little Krystina (Jessica Player) were tapped in a cavern with a sociopathic killer.
