Originally conceived a ruthless oil tycoon, Blake (John Forsythe) raped his wife Krystle (Linda Evans) in the first season of "Dynasty."

As the show struggled to improve ratings, the producers cast Joan Collins to play Blake's ex-wife Alexis, who became the show's central villain.

Unlike Blake is season 1, the writers and the actress made Alexis a very likable and entertaining villain.

At the same time, Forsythe insisted his character also become more likable and soften into a moral core of the show. The producers may have hoped the viewers either forgot or never saw this violent scene.
