The Parent Trap's Elaine Hendrix to Join 'Dynasty' as New Alexis

Elaine Hendrix will be playing the role of Alexis Carrington on the third season of The CW’s Dynasty!

The actress, who is beloved for her role as Meredith Blake in the remake of The Parent Trap, also has starred in shows like Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll and Anger Management.

Nicollette Sheridan originated the role of Alexis on the reboot of Dynasty and she left abruptly midway through season one. Elizabeth Gillies, who also plays Fallon on the series, temporarily took over as Alexis thanks to a plastic surgery plot-line.

“Alexis is back in Atlanta, with a new look, a new man, and plenty of scores to settle,” The CW said in a statement about Elaine‘s casting, according to TVLine.
