Dynasty : Alexis and Krystle lily pond catfight

 Alexis and Krystle lily pond catfight!! The Most FAMOUS Catfight in television History!
Over the run of the series, the rivalry between Alexis and Krystle is a primary driver for the melodrama. Alexis resents Krystle's supplanting of her position as mistress of the Carrington household and tries to undermine her at every opportunity, while Krystle makes increasingly bold efforts to keep Alexis from interfering in the lives of their mutual loved ones. The pair have numerous verbal spats, accented by slaps across the face, but on more than one occasion they have physical altercations.

"Unfortunately, the thing people remember about this show is the catfights," noted Collins in 1991 Krystle and Alexis famously brawl in Alexis' cottage  and later in a lily pond,  hurl mud at each other at a beauty salon and slide down a ravine together into a puddle of mud  before their final showdown in a fashion studio in the 1991 miniseries Dynasty: The Reunion. 

 In 2008 Entertainment Weekly termed Alexis and Krystle's catfights "the gold standard of scratching and clawing." Later in the series Alexis battles Blake's half-sister Dominique Deveraux  (Diahann Carroll)  and her own cousin Sable Colby (Stephanie Beacham Heather Locklear's Sammy Jo has catfights with both Amanda (Catherine Oxenberg) in a swimming pool and Fallon (Emma Samms) in a horse trough and the mud around it.Evans even battles with herself at the climax of a 1985–1986 storyline in which Krystle is imprisoned and replaced by a lookalike, also played by Evans.
