Beacham wants Dynasty TV return

Stephanie Beacham hopes that the return of Dallas to out TV screens will lead to a revival of Dynasty.

The 65-year-old actress, who played Sable Colby in the hit 80s show, has discussed the possibility of a comeback with Joan Collins, who portrayed her rival Alexis Carrington in the hit show.

With a revamped Dallas soon to hit screens, Stephanie said: "I feel that Joan and I ought to be doing Dynasty. Joan and I have talked about it."

But she doesn't hold out much hope for the series' return.

"Aaron Spelling, who produced it before, is dead and I don't think it's likely. But we'd be up for it."

Linda Gray, Larry Hagman and Patrick Duffy are among the original Dallas cast members joining a new generation of Ewings when the show begins on Channel 5 next month.

The new, younger actors include Jordana Brewster, Josh Henderson and Desperate Housewives hunk Jesse Metcalfe.

Asked if she plans to watch it, Stephanie said: "Yes, but only to see how they slot the oldies in."

Stephanie stars in the second series of supermarket-based Sky1 sitcom Trollied, which begins on Friday, August 31.
