There are numerous minor but significant characters featured in the ABC television series Dynasty.


As Dynasty begins, the Carringtons' longtime majordomo Joseph is fiercely loyal to the family and takes an immediate dislike to Blake Carrington's new bride Krystle. Krystle rises to the challenge and they eventually share a mutual respect. Joseph later shows a deeper loathing for Alexis, Blake's first wife, which is further exacerbated by Alexis' ill treatment of Joseph's daughter, Kirby. At the end of season three, Alexis and Krystle are trapped in a cabin that is then set on fire; they survive, and it is eventually revealed that Joseph had set the fire in an effort to kill Alexis after she had threatened to disclose a secret related to Kirby's parentage. After learning this, Blake drives to Joseph's home but is too late, as the guilty Joseph has killed himself by way of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

In 1987, Alexis' new husband Sean Rowan has a secret; he is actually Joseph's son, in Denver to exact his revenge on Alexis and the Carringtons. It is also revealed that Sean and Kirby have another sibling, Victoria. When Dex investigates Sean's background and finds Joseph's grave, his last name is spelled Aynders.

Matthew mentions to Krystle Carrington during his 1987 return that Lindsay had died from the injuries she sustained in the car crash.

Krystle Jennings' former flame and a Denver-Carrington employee, Matthew returns to Denver from the Middle East on the eve of Krystle's marriage to Blake Carrington. He struggles with his feelings for Krystle as he tries to rebuild his marriage with fragile Claudia, newly released from an institution after a breakdown. Matthew leaves Blake's employ to run his own rig, and soon their rivalry over Krystle transforms into a fierce rivalry over oil. Meanwhile, Claudia's friendship with Blake's son Steven Carrington turns into an affair; when the secret comes out, Matthew takes his and Claudia's daughter Lindsay and leaves town. They are later presumed dead in a car crash in the jungles of Peru.
