Nicollette Sheridan as Dynasty's Alexis

I'm really enjoying the reboot of eighties soap opera "Dynasty", but as a fan of the original, I've been looking forward to the arrival of my favourite character: Alexis. Now, the wait is finally over. The CW just announced that the new Alexis will be played by the one and only Nicollette Sheridan, known to soap fans as Edie in "Desperate Housewives", Paige in "Knots Landing" and Taryn in the short-lived "Paper Dolls".

Sure, no one will ever beat the fabulous Joan Collins, but I'm sure Nicollette will do a great job and I can't wait to see her. If you haven't seen the reboot already, the first seven episodes of "Dynasty" can be watched on Netflix and The CW's app.

Dallas - Josh Henderson takes a bath

Check out this sexy promotion photo for the "Dallas" spinoff where hunky Josh Henderson is bathing in oil. Soap fans also know Josh for his roles on "Desperate Housewives" and "90210". I can't wait for season three of new "Dallas" to air here in Sweden!

Desperate Housewives cancelled in 2012

All good things come to an end. ABC confirmed today that the popular soap opera "Desperate Housewives" is being cancelled in 2012, after eight seasons. The main reason is said to be declining rating.

I love "Desperate Housewives" and I've followed the show since the start in 2004, so it feels a bit sad. However, it's good that the creators know about it in advance, so that they can wrap up all storylines before the finale. We don't want it to end with a cliffhanger.

Rumour has it that one of the housewives will get a tragic end. Do you remember my old blogpost where I came up with the perfect ending to the show? "Dallas" alert!

Will you miss "Desperate Housewives"?

J.R. Ewing in Desperate Housewives

Larry Hagman, known for playing J.R. Ewing on 80's soap opera "Dallas", recently guest starred on ABC's drama series "Desperate Housewives", as Lynette's (Felicity Huffman) stepfather.

It was great to see Larry on a soap again. I'm still very excited about the new "Dallas" spinoff. Two "Desperate Housewives" actors, hunky Josh Henderson and Jesse Metcalfe, are going to play the children of J.R. and Bobby Ewing.

I just can't wait!

Desperate Housewives - What if it's all a dream?

What if Paul Young would wake up one day, walk into the bathroom, find Mary Alice in the shower and realise that the whole series was just a dream?

Sorry, I'm stuck in the eighties.
