And for some reason, my audience loves seeing me in that role.
Its challenging to make that person likable, and I get to do it again [with Alexis].

And for the writers, Alexis debut was something theyve been planning from the very beginning.
Weve found our own way to pay tribute to Alexis OG entrance and that fabulous outfit, Patrick says.
Speaking of her children, Alexis arrival is going to present a new challenge for Fallon.
Fallon Carrington is fierce, and upon mamas return, she has met her match tenfold, Sheridan says.
Alexis has the experience and the wisdom that comes with age.
So as brilliant as her daughter is, shes in trouble now.
When she goes toe-to-toe with Fallon, its electric.
That said, Alexis truly is a loving mother, according to Sheridan.
Just sometimes she gets a little lost in her quest for power or manipulation.
Dynastyairs Fridays at 8 p.m.
