Kirby Anders

Kirby Anders is a fictional character on the ABC prime time soap opera Dynasty. Portrayed by Kathleen Beller from 1982 to 1984, the character was introduced in the seventh episode of the series' third season, but was written out after the fourth season finale. Beller reprised the role for the 1991 miniseries, Dynasty: The Reunion. In the story, Kirby is the daughter of the Carrington family's majordomo, Joseph Anders. Returning to Denver after years abroad, she becomes involved in a love triangle with Adam Carrington and Jeff Colby, who hate each other. Kirby is portrayed by Maddison Brown in The CW's Dynasty reboot from 2018 to 2022. Original series Kathleen Beller debuted as Kirby in the November 17, 1982 third season episode "Kirby". Her last appearance in the original series was the May 9, 1984, season four finale episode, "The Nightmare". Beller later blamed her departure from Dynasty on the new writers who were hired in 1984, explaining that they had "lost interest in her character" and subsequently did not renew her contract. She said at the time that she would return to the role if the show wanted her.
