Jeff Colby
Jeff Colby (portrayed by Sam Adegoke) is a high school friend of Fallon's, and Blake's former employee. He made a fortune from software he created while working for Blake, which the court ruled was his own property. Blake has never forgiven him for this "betrayal".[6] Jeff finances Fallon's business venture to be close to her, but it takes a while for her to begin to see his value as a partner.[7] In "Trashy Little Tramp", it is revealed that Jeff's mother Millie is Blake Carrington's half-sister.[8]

Atlanta energy tycoon Blake Carrington (portrayed by Grant Show as an adult, Jax Buresh as a teenager) marries public relations executive Cristal Flores, which lands his family at the center of a scandal when Cristal's married ex-lover Matthew Blaisdel is killed in a suspicious explosion. The marriage—and Blake's promotion of Cristal to COO of his company, Carrington Atlantic—put him at odds with his daughter Fallon, who allies herself with Blake's nemesis Jeff Colby as a business rival to her father. Blake already has a complicated relationship with his son Steven, who disapproves of his father's capitalistic politics and underhanded business tactics.[6]
Alexis Carrington Colby

Amanda Carrington (portrayed by
Recurring
Introduced in season one
Matthew Blaisdel
Matthew Blaisdel (portrayed by
Executive producer Sallie Patrick said of reimagining the character:
One big decision we had to make when rebooting Dynasty was what to do with Matthew Blaisdel ... Matthew was Cristal's on-again-off-again lover, and while we loved that part of Cristal's backstory and loved Matthew's crazy wife, Claudia, he didn't bring that much to the original series other than business stories, and the Shapiros encouraged us to focus more on family than business. So, when I was watching the original Dynasty pilot, there's this oil rigging accident Blake sets up in order to tank the price so he can swoop in and buy it out from under his competitor. The realization of this causes
Walter Lankershim (Willy in our version) to crash the Carrington wedding with a gun. In our version, it made dramatic (and soapy) sense to have Matthew injured in the accident, sending his wife, Claudia, to the Carringtons' doorstep to give Cristal the news that her new husband may have killed her ex-lover. And that accusation—and the mystery surrounding it—is what launches us into series.[18]
Claudia Blaisdel
Matthew's wife, Claudia Blaisdel (portrayed by Brianna Brown), is recovering from a head injury that has left her with memory loss. Distraught over Matthew's death, she accuses Blake of killing him.[6]
Monica Colby
Jeff's sister Monica Colby (portrayed by Wakeema Hollis) is Fallon's best friend from high school.[6] She is initially angry with her father Cesil for the crimes that landed him in jail,[19] and with her mother Dominique Deveraux for abandoning the family years before.[20][21]

Patrick said after the character's first appearance in November 2017, "Ted Dinard is a character from the OG Dynasty who played a big part in season 1...So let's just say, he'll be back."[31]
Luella Culhane
Luella Culhane (portrayed by Arnetia Walker) is the wife of James, and Michael and Evie's mother. In "A Taste of Your Own Medicine", she and James are under the impression that Michael is a Vice President for Carrington Atlantic. Luella and James learn the truth when meeting Fallon Carrington, Michael's longtime lover, and learn that he is in fact the Carringtons' chauffeur. Luella struggles to get in contact with Michael in "Enter Alexis", and she reappears in "Don't Con a Con Artist" when James is hospitalized after falling deathly ill. In "Use or Be Used", Luella encourages Fallon to stay away from Michael due to the stress regarding James' health.
In the second season episode, "That Witch", Luella is displeased to learn that Fallon and Michael are engaged despite the Carringtons' involvement in the Clark County water scandal that caused James' death. Luella ultimately approves of Fallon and Michael's impending marriage, but she threatens Fallon if she hurts Michael. Jeff calls in a favor to Blake, who has Luella and Evie robbed in "The Sight of You" as revenge against Michael.
Luella reappears in the fifth season episode, "
Cesil Colby
Cesil Baldwin Colby (portrayed by Hakeem Kae-Kazim) is Jeff and Monica's father. In "A Taste of Your Own Medicine", it is established that he is in jail.[17] In "Rotten Things", Monica refuses Fallon's urging to visit him, and Cesil lashes out at Fallon. When Jeff visits, he and Cesil discuss their vendetta against Blake, who they say slept with Cesil's wife and framed him on drug charges.[26][19] In "Nothing But Trouble", Blake tasks Anders to bribe a prison guard to stage an attack intended to prevent Cesil from being paroled. The parole board votes against his release, but Jeff sleeps with the parole commissioner, who sets Cesil free.[32][33] Confined to Jeff's house with an ankle monitor in "The Gospel According to Blake Carrington", Cesil is compelled to go along with Jeff's plan to marry Fallon as a means to destroy Blake. However, seeing Jeff and Monica so close to Fallon and Michael at dinner sets Cesil off, and he angrily reveals to Fallon the crimes Blake has committed against the Colbys. When Fallon and Michael have left, Cesil tells Jeff that he is taking over the plot against Blake himself.[34] In "Our Turn Now", the Carringtons are planning Jeff and Fallon's wedding, which is actually a diversion while they attempt to erase the data Jeff has stolen from them. Cesil refuses to attend the rehearsal, so Blake makes a personal plea to Cesil to put their differences aside and come to the wedding. The Carringtons manage to turn the tables on Jeff. A vengeful Cesil moves to confront Blake with a gun, but instead comes upon Thomas, who has a heart attack. Cesil flees at Jeff's urging, and Thomas admits to the Carringtons that Blake never had an affair, but was just covering for Thomas.[35] As Jeff and Fallon's feud goes public in "Poor Little Rich Girl", Monica cuts ties with Jeff and takes guardianship of Cesil.[10][11] Blake's ex-wife, Alexis, gets Cesil's house arrest extended in "A Line From the Past" as a way to re-fuel Jeff's vendetta against Blake. In addition, she reveals that he is a Carrington. As it turns out, Blake's closeness with Cesil's wife stemmed from the two of them being siblings rather than having an affair.
In the season two episode "Crazy Lady", it is confirmed that Cesil's house arrest has come to an end. Cesil helps Monica take care of Jeff after being poisoned in "New Lady in Town", the same time his ex-wife, Dominique Deveraux, returns from New York. Cesil welcomes Dominique back into the family, though Jeff and Monica are more hesitant.
