Line 33:
The most memorable aspects of the series, outside the high camp scripts from writer/creators Richard and Esther Shapiro and writers Robert Mason Pollock and Eileen Pollock, were a stream of infamous cliffhanger storylines including an Alexis/Krystle showdown which ended in an inferno in Steven's cabin, a fire in the hotel La Mirage (which killed Claudia, while Blake and Alexis battled across town), and the show's most famous - the so-called "wedding massacre" when Blake's daughter Amanda ([[Catherine Oxenberg]]) married Prince Michael of Moldavia ([[Michael Praed]]) on the eve of a military revolution in his country.
Almost all of the show's characters went to the fictitious kingdom to attend the wedding, and in the final seconds of the season finale in [[May]] [[1985]], the revolutionaries gunned down everyone in the church. The camera panned out, showing all of the guests wounded and strewn about one another, giving the impression that anyone and everyone could have died. In the summer that followed, many magazines published stories wondering who would survive the massacre, and some tabloids published supposed "dirt" on who died. In the end, however, fans learned in the season premiere that fall that only two minor characters perished - a move which disenfranchised fans who felt the storyline had built to nothing.
