This show is modeled after Dynasty. The problem here is Lee Daniel's writing. Unlike Dynasty, Lee pushed the gay soap opera agenda to the forefront and that caused an unbalanced show. ;The two main characters are Cookie and Lushion. The Joan Crawford type character has been missing and that is what could have kept the show going. Just like Dynasty, the gay character Jussie should be included by certainly not at the forefront. Cookie and Lushion get payed the most and their storylines should be the lean / tone of the show. Lee failed at keeping audiences interested with his writing. Furthermore, since the show is on redneck Fox, it was expected for Lee Daniels to outright replace Jussie with another actor which he failed to do. Dynasty had a few replacements for the gay character over the years. Perhaps Lee is too attached to Jussie and that was the final nail in the coffin for the show.
