The CW’s Dynasty reboot has just pulled off its most outrageous twist yet. Friday’s episode has finally revealed who’s the show’s “new” Alexis. The iconic character was first played by Nicollette Sheridan (Desperate Housewives), who exited the show in March due to personal family matters.
At the time, she told TVLine, “Working on the Dynasty reboot and reprising the iconic role of Alexis has been thoroughly enjoyable, but the chance to spend precious time with my terminally ill mother is more important to me right now. I am hopeful that my fans will embrace my successor with as much passion as they embraced me.”
The way to the “new” Alexis was paved after her long-lost son, Adam, pushed her into a fireplace. The incident didn’t kill her but did get the character the much needed time behind bandages as prep for the big switch.
As Friday’s episode was nearing its end, Alexis’ bandages finally came off, giving fans their first look at Elizabeth Gillies as the “new” Alexis. Yep, that’s right, the same Elizabeth Gillies who also plays Fallon on the show.
Gillies checked in with the Twitterverse, and it looks like fans a mostly enthusiastic with her Alexis.
