When Nicollette Sheridan surprised fans when she appeared as Alexis Carrington, Dynasty fans cheered. Immediately, she was the best-known name on the reboot because of her Desperate Housewives fame.

But, she departed in the midst of Season 2. She left the show for personal reasons. Her mother was given a serious cancer diagnosis. Naturally, she wanted to spend as much time with her mother as possible.

To explain this character change, the writers had Adam (Sam Underwood) push his mother’s face into the fireplace. Becauses of this injury, she was forced to get plastic surgery. When the bandages were removed, the new Alexis Carrington was revealed. It was none other than Elizabeth Gillies!

Liz Gillies moved like Sheridan and seemed delighted to match Sheridan’s slightly British accent. The last we saw of the second Alexis Carrington was when she headed off for more plastic surgery. Dynasty fans want to see Alexis back. And most importantly, they want someone to stop Adam Carrington!
