The producers of The CW’s Dynasty remake addressed one in particular out-of-date relationship in the original series — Blake Carrington’s homophobic treatment of his closeted gay son Stephen.
In 2017, Stephen Carrington, played by James Mackay, is already an out and proud gay man.
The original Dynasty series is a classic soap opera, but there’s no question that some of the soap’s themes would feel out of date in a 2017 remake.
He is gay and Blake accepts him,” executive producer Josh Schwartz told critics during the Dynasty panel at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Wednesday.
