Development

With the show's popularity soaring in the fourth season (now the third most watched program of 1983–1984), ^{[1] [2]} former President Gerald Ford, former First Lady Betty Ford and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger guest-starred as themselves in 1983. ^[3]

Michael Nader was introduced as Farnsworth "Dex" Dexter, a friend to Blake and a love interest for Alexis. ^{[4] [5] [6]} Though Dex was conceived as a supporting, short-term character, Nader's performance made the character "unexpectedly popular". ^[4] One of the five actors under final consideration for the role, Nader credited his chemistry with Collins with getting him the part. ^{[4] [5]} Collins said of Nader, "He's a very romantic leading man and he has a certain sinister edge." ^[4]

Diahann Carroll was also introduced as wealthy singer and businesswoman Dominique Deveraux, ^[6] from the beginning intended as a foil for Alexis Colby, the villainess played by Joan Collins. ^[7] Dominique was revealed to be Blake's half-sister in season five. ^[6] Noting that the increasingly popular prime time soap operas had yet to tackle racial integration, ^{[7] [8]} and wanting to be "the first black bitch on television", ^{[7] [9] [10]} Carroll had her manager reach out to Dynasty producer Aaron Spelling, but there had been no response before she and Spelling ran into each other soon after. ^{[7] [8]} Spelling said, "When Diahann came in, Esther Shapiro and I looked at her, looked at each other and said, 'My God, she is Dynasty.'" ^{[7] [8]} Carroll told Shapiro that night, "If it's not me let it be someone, because it's time." ^[7] Spelling said, "We virtually closed the deal that night while having a drink at the bar." ^[7] Joining Dynasty made Carroll the only black actress with a continuing role on a nighttime serial at that time, ^[7] and Dominique the first prominently-featured African-American character on a prime time soap opera. ^[11] She appeared in the final two episodes of the fourth season, and was contracted for at least 17 of season five's 29 shows. ^[7] Willis Edwards, president of the Beverly Hills/Hollywood chapter of the NAACP, said of Carroll's casting, "This is a major thing as far as we're concerned. We've been fighting for something like this for years." ^[7] Linda Evans, who played Krystle Carrington, said at the time, "I don't think the impact of her coming on the show will affect only blacks. I think it will be great for all the people who see her." ^[7]

Martin left the series at the end of the fourth season in May 1984. ^[6] At the time, New York quoted Martin as calling television "limiting". ^[12] USA Today reported in 2006 that Martin "left Dynasty and acting when she felt her 'glib' character ... had been reduced to 'a victim'." ^[13] In 2011, she said "I became extremely famous during that time, and it was a little discomforting". ^[14] Spelling wrote in his 1996 autobiography, "After three seasons, Pamela Sue Martin wanted to leave Dynasty to get married and we didn't stand in her way." ^[15]

Plot

Steven and Blake battle for custody over Steven and Sammy Jo's son Danny, and a false accusation of illegal weapons dealings orchestrated by Alexis threatens to ruin Blake's financial empire.
