Premise
On Dynasty, presumed-dead heiress Fallon Carrington Colby reappears alive, suffering from amnesia and using the name Randall Adams. Drawn to California after recognising the name "Colby," she meets playboy Miles Colby, not realising that he is the cousin of her ex-husband, Jeff. A mutual business venture brings the Colbys of California to the Denver mansion of Fallon's father Blake Carrington.
Set in Los Angeles, The Colbys focuses on the extended Colby family as Jeff relocates to California to start his life anew – and comes face to face with Fallon, now married to his cousin Miles. A fierce rivalry is sparked between Jeff and Miles, and the love triangle spans the series. Miles' father, billionaire Jason Colby, has a rocky marriage to the icy Sable, in part due to his longtime attraction to Sable's sister Francesca – Jeff's estranged mother, and the former wife of Jason's brother Philip, who is presumed deceased. Other characters include Jason's powerful sister Constance, Miles' twin sister Monica, and their third sibling Bliss.

Famous quotes containing the word premise:
“We have to give ourselves—men in particular—permission to really be with and get to know our children. The premise is that taking care of kids can be a pain in the ass, and it is frustrating and agonizing, but also gratifying and enjoyable. When a little kid says, “I love you, Daddy,” or cries and you comfort her or him, life becomes a richer experience.”
