Some of the best moments on Dynasty is when a character is pretty much written off without even acknowledging a goodbye. The classic is Amanda. Amanda runs off to London and Blake and Alexis never speak of her again. Leslie Carrington, Ben’s daughter, is another one who just went away.

Dynasty always needed a young female actress. When Pamela Sue Martin left Dynasty, the writers brought in Catherine Oxenberg as Amanada. When Oxenberg’s replacement, Karen Cellini, did not work out, the writers brought in Terri Garber to play Ben Carrington’s daughter, Leslie. Garber was a popular actress at the time, especially after her work on North and South, but once Fallon returned to Dynasty (this time Emma Samms), there really was not much room for Leslie. Still, I actually liked Leslie - too bad they ruined the character in Season 8.

Leslie got herself tied up with Sean Rowan (always toxic), even being forced to help him kidnap Adam’s child. Leslie, however, contacted the police when she had a free moment, only to be caught by Sean. Sean beat Leslie and ran off with Adam’s baby. Steven and Adam find Leslie who tells them Sean left in her car. She also tells Steven to go after Sean and that she will be okay. Steven promises to bring her help. And, with that, we never see or hear of Leslie again. Maybe she went back to Australia? Maybe she is hanging out in London with Amanda.
