Kirby Anders (Maddison Brown) is the daughter of the loyal Carrington family butler, Joseph Anders (Alan Dale), in the American television series Dynasty (2017-2022).
Initially, Kirby is introduced as a rebellious young woman who, starting in the second season, openly expresses her bisexuality. Although initially, she only engages in relationships with men, including Jeff Colby (Sam Adegoke) and Michael Culhane (Robert Riley), without fully developing as a bi character, perhaps also because she is a secondary character for most of the story.
It is finally in season 5 that Kirby begins to form meaningful relationships with both men and women, including Adam Carrington (Sam Underwood), Charlie (Cinthia Quiles), and eventually Adam’s sister, Amanda Carrington (Eliza Bennett). In this way, we are allowed to explore her bi side in more detail and observe her longer-lasting relationships, which were always filled with tension and passion.
The inclusion of Kirby as a bi character in Dynasty marked a milestone in bi representation in the series, she not only enriched the narrative but also sparked crucial conversations about acceptance, diversity, and the importance of being authentically bi.
