JConthecover: Sunday Mirror Magazine (1991)


Today's magazine from the archives of my collection is The Sunday Mirror Magazine, dated 8th September 1991. It is a great cover and inside a 3 page article to celebrate the return of Dynasty which at that time had been off the air for 2 years.
Fans were finally to be treated to a Reunion which would "tie up all the loose ends" when the series had ended. What had happened to Blake? .... Where was Krystle? and what had become of Alexis last seen plunging off the balcony at the Carlton Hotel with Dex, watched in horror by Sable, Monica and Adam?
The article, called "Joan Gets A Dressing Down" featured 7 pictures of Joan and some of the fabulous creations, courtesy of Nolan Miller that she would wear during the 4 hour 2 part mini-series.
