It's a Carrington family reunion at Dancing With the Stars.

After Elaine Hendrix and her partner Alan Bersten dazzled with their out-of-this-world quickstep on Oct. 7, her Dynasty costar Liz Gilles couldn't help but gush about the performance.

"I was flipping out," Liz exclusively told E! News after Elaine pulled her into her and Alan's interview. "It was such an incredible night. I mean, every week has been incredible, but tonight, top, top, top. It was really exciting. I'm so proud of her."

The Victorious alum added, "Elaine is one of the kindest, most hardest-working, funniest, most talented people I know."

Liz, 32, was also sure to praise Alan—who choreographed the Space Mountain-inspired routine for Disney Night—for his dedication to the performance. After all, the 31-year-old, who was painted neon green, spent nearly two hours in hair and makeup.

"You dancers are good," Liz emphasized. "Not that I know, but I can tell when something's good or when something's not good. These guys are really ones to watch."

She teased, "I would be very scared if I were other people in this competition!" 

While Elaine—who tied for second with Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa, as well as Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy on the leaderboard—was grateful to have Liz cheering her on, next week she'll have another special person with her at Studio 46.

After all, the Parent Trap star, 54, is dedicating her upcoming dance to her longtime friend Lisa Ann Walters.

"We've been besties for almost 30 years," Elaine told E!. "We met doing The Parent Trap. When they said that we're going to have a dedication week, there was only one person I thought of and that was Lisa. I said, 'Alan, how about Lisa?'"

It was an idea that the dance pro was happy to build off of.

"I said, 'Of course!' Lisa is such a big support for Elaine that it only makes sense," Alan explained. "It's going to be great. The fans are really excited about it, I'm really excited about it, and Elaine is really excited about it. It's going to be so special."
