2. The show featured one of the first prime time gay characters

The show was progressive in the sense that it featured the gay character of Steven Carrington, who was first played first by Al Corley and then by Jack Coleman. Jack has said: “My feeling was that I was in a kind of a situation where I was expected to be a spokesman, and I was never comfortable being a spokesman. It’s just the kind of position you wind up in when a character is long-running. You not only have to defend the character but the situation to the entire country. Ultimately I saw Steven as a man who was unsure of his sexuality and from time to time was attracted to women. He was caught between worlds.”
