‘Dynasty’ Season 3: Is Steven Carrington dead or will he come for Liam-Fallon's wedding in Season 4?
One of the first main gay characters on TV, Steven Carrington was an iconic character in the original 1980s series. The reboot of 'Dynasty' on The CW featured actor James Mackay as Steven and he was one of the fan favorites.
In a heartbreaking announcement, the actor was demoted to a reduced number of episodes from a series regular. Back in 2018, he shared the news in an Instagram post with his fans and said, “While Steven had a choice to leave, unfortunately I didn’t. There’s a lot of decisions involved in making television, and sometimes they just don’t go your way and you have to live with it. So for now, all love and on we go. Hope you all enjoy the show.” When The CW released the synopsis for Season 3 and hinted at the return of old characters, fans were desperately hoping Steven could be one of them. After his exit, Sam Underwood's Adam Carrington was added to the Carringtons' lives.
As the series dropped its 20 episodes on Netflix, fans binge-watched all of it and most viewers had one question buzzing in their minds: Where is Steven Carrington? Last time we saw him, he had left for Paraguay for his charity work. After he went missing from Paraguay, he resurfaced in Paris where he asked for Fallon Carrington's (Elizabeth Gillies) help after his passport is stolen and he tries to get them to meet his friend George. Fallon is convinced that George is a hallucination resulting from a drug-induced breakdown, but 'George' is real and turns out to be Adam, the wicked long-lost Carrington sibling.
Many fans are pissed that none of the Carrington members mentioned him even once. Have they all forgotten him? And many are wondering if he's dead or will be back for Fallon and Liam's wedding. "Why has no one gone to Paris to visit Steven? #Dynasty," one said and another posted, "It's soooo unrealistic that Sam barely mentions Steven and also for the Carringtons to not even acknowledge Steven's existence."
Hoping he would return, one fan posted, "I Just finished the third series of #Dynasty hoping that Steven returns in the fourth series to help bring down adam I'm video chatting with this guy I'm talking to tonight a bit anxious about it hoping to go on a date once all this is over or may have to be a video chat date." Another said, "Am I really supposed to feel bad for Adam? I haven’t forgotten what he did to Steven #Dynasty."
"Bruh why is Adam rubbing off of me?!?!? I legit cannot like him bc what he did to Steven....wtf is wrong with me?!?" one said and another enraged fan wrote, "CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE THE HELL IS STEVEN?! HE WAS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE CHARACTER AFTER SAMMY JO AND I WANNA SEE THEM TOGETHER #dynasty."
Demanding Steven back, one wrote, "Although I’m not a fan of all the cast changes and plot holes, I did love the ode to Legally Blonde and Parent Trap and still love the show overall. But please bring Steven back. Did everyone forget they have another brother who knows “George”?! @cw_dynasty #Dynasty," and another said, "Is Steven going to be at Fallon and Liam's wedding in #dynasty season 4? I miss him."
If Steven returns to the show, Adam would finally be exposed and fans are hoping the showrunners listen to their wishes. Earlier, former head writer Paula Sabbage hinted she would like to see Steven's political ambitions explored in further seasons should the show be renewed. However, with no mention of him at all, the creators might reveal he's dead and that may come as a major shock to the fans. All three seasons of 'Dynasty' are available for streaming on Netflix now.
