Members FrenchBug82 Posted September 16, 2021 Members Share Posted September 16, 2021 If you mean her, it is "Laurie" (actress: Dawn Cody), Michael's pregnant wife Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SoapDope Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 I think the first one " J.R. Returns" had huge ratings, but the second " War Of The Ewings" tanked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris 2 Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 JR Returns ranked in the low teens - better than CBS was doing with regular series on Fridays, but a far cry from the high ratings the series got at its peak. CBS was happy enough with it to order a sequel. Which tanked as SoapDope pointed out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Thank you both for clarifying. I know I watched the first one. I don't remember watching the sequel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted September 18, 2021 Members Share Posted September 18, 2021 I watched both and I thought the second one was better "War of the Ewings". I think I have both on dvd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 18, 2021 Members Share Posted September 18, 2021 Thanks. If I'm not mistaken, there was talk of CBS rebooting Dallas even then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted September 18, 2021 Members Share Posted September 18, 2021 The ratings weren't great for either one. The show ended with 22.0 for the finale. Only 13.4 returned five years later. I didn't think the script was that great for the return episode.

Members amybrickwallace Posted September 18, 2021 Members Share Posted September 18, 2021 Thanks for sharing the ratings. It's like I thought, ratings were decent but not huge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted September 18, 2021 Members Share Posted September 18, 2021 Was KK ill during the filming of the first reunion movie? I remember his voice sounding strained/shaky. It took me out seeing J.R. rolling around with Monica Colby. I mean, God bless Tracy Scoggins, but for a reunion movie of an iconic ‘80s primetime soap, I didn’t like them mixing brands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SoapDope Posted September 18, 2021 Members Share Posted September 18, 2021 In the Knots reunion, the Laurie character was a strange addition. At the anniversary party at Val's house when Karen said Hi to her, she made a face and then Diana walked up and it cut to their conversation. At the end Laurie is pregnant. Her character really was a nothing burger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris 2 Posted September 19, 2021 Members Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) You could tell just by the title, “JR Returns,” that the producers were making the same mistake that they did in the last few years of the series: making JR the exclusive focus as opposed to the ensemble. They only had four returning original cast members: Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray, and Ken Kercheval. And it was essentially “The JR Show” by that time.
