Do you remember exactly when Daniel Markel took over? I think it was Fall 1990, because one of the first scenes I remember (in addition to his shower scene) is him in a Santa Claus suit, but I could be off by a year.

No, Dusty was actually the son of Jessica and that Atticus guy, and Clayton and Amy had adopted him after Jessica went batty.

Except for the Stephanie Rogers story, I have no words for how much I loathed the 1989-90 season of Dallas. Clayton and Ellie getting involved in back to back Murder She Wrote stories, Cliff and JR becoming environmentalist advocates, April becoming nice, the pointless Pam look-alike played by that Pam recast etc. The final season was only a little bit better, but at least it had some fun to it(Susan Lucci, Barbara Eden, bitchy Michelle).
