- Eileen and Robert Mason Pollock
Eileen Pollock and Robert Mason Pollock are married American television screenwriters and producers best known as writers on the long-running 1980s series "Dynasty", its spin-off series "The Colbys" and the 1991 miniseries "".
The second-season additions of the Pollocks and Joan Collins (in the role of Alexis) are generally credited with "Dynasty"'s subsequent rise in the ratings; [Schemering, Christopher. "The Soap Opera Encyclopedia", September 1985, pg. 80, ISBN 0-345-32459-5 (1st edition)] the series eventually became #1 in 1985. The Pollocks "soft-pedaled the business angle" of the show and "bombarded viewers with every soap opera staple in the book, presented at such a fast clip that a new tragedy seemed to befall the Carrington family every five minutes." [Schemering, C. "The Soap Opera Encyclopedia", pg. 81]
The Pollocks also brought the daytime series "The Doctors" its highest ratings in the early 1970s. [Schemering, C. "The Soap Opera Encyclopedia", pg. 81]
