What in HELL!? Her MOM?? They have got to go the rich Dallas plastic surgeried socialite route, or put some hair silver in her hair or something. Lol, I can't help but think of Joan van Ark and Michele Lee, they'd never allow themselves to be aged by their onscreen children like that.

They're bringing on Ann's mom and daughter, in addition to her ex-husband who will be a series regular. They're also bringing on a brother for Elena. What about new Ewing's? Do they not realize the focus of the series? You have three children of JR's offscreen plus a biological son for Bobby. Where are they? I'm not talking about extended family, those are offspring related to core characters for nuDallas.

I see the need to expand on the new families as well, but the balance definitely isn't there.

Well Ultimate Dallas mentioned that they actually sought and received permission to use Knots Landing characters. Cynthia Cidre when asked what old characters she wants to bring back has only mentioned Knots characters--Abby, Gary and Val. Still, we haven't seen anything reported yet. I do think there is a lot of story for Gary and Val (moreso than Ray) since they weren't on Dallas as long. There's more to explore with JR and Bobby and their children. With Ray I think the most interesting aspects are Lucas, Bobby's biological son and if they brought on his daughter Margaret, I'd rather see Donna than much of Ray. He got burned out on the original series and nothing I've seen here makes me want to see more of him.

Thanks Chris, I could not remember Ray's first wives name. I would like to see them bring on Lucas and see his dynamics with Bobby and the dynamics between Bobby and Ray, since Ray raised Bobby's son. To me that would be an interesting storyline to play out. I agree about Gary and Val. Val has alot of history with JR and I would LOVE To see JR's reaction to having her at Southfork and around Dallas on a regular basis, not to mention Gary. Theirs SO MUCH potential left out there.

Any word on whether or not we will see Victoria Principal back as Pam??? I'd love to see Pam pop back up VERY much alive, and have her explain her absence from Bobby and Christopher's lives and see her try and establish a relationship with both of them again. Perhaps Pam has a new family or another child that might show up in Dallas as well.

         And I must say that Latvia's song is oddly magnetic. I think it deserves a place in the final. I would much rather have seen Australia and Serbia in the final than Lithuania and Malta though.
    • Grant Aleksander is a charismatic performer, but I never liked Philip very much. I thought he was a sanctimonious ass at times and also too intense for me. I do think they had a great opportunity for his 2009 return story at showing a man who had come back from the brink and wanted to reclaim his life. If the show had continued, I am curious to see what they would have done. The show's biggest mistake with the Spauldings was keeping Alan much too long instead of having Philip take his place as head of the family. Ron Raines was the luckiest man in daytime to last for 15 years. Alan should have died in the early '00s at the latest, during the Philip/Olivia saga.
    • Too soon to make any judgments about nuTed, but I will say that I think they should've gone older.  And I also saw some chemistry between Bill and Leslie as well lol but Bill's part in Ted and Leslie's affair/Bill and Ted's friendship needed to be established a lot sooner than when the reveal happened. Their relationship could be a really good counterpoint to the Duprees.   But I really liked the parallel that was drawn between Kat and Chelsea, and what their father's did. I like their relationship and I hope they go on to investigate Laura's accident. I just hope it doesn't come until something happens between Eva and Tomas.  Btw, Happy Birthday, Eva! A lot of birthdays today

    • I love you He’s definitely not for me. He comes across very meek. Trisha is going to eat this man alive in scenes.  Excellent scenes! Her damn nicknames be tearing me the hell up
    • Stephanie also was raped in college and killed her rapist along with the help of Chelsea.  It was an accident, but that's something the show has only touched on once or twice since AK took over the role. Very good point!
    • Robinson is less imposing than Johnson was and that makes the character seem completely different. If anything he came off as someone who could have played Doug. 
    • Exactly. That's a fertile ground, where a lot of drama could be mined from. That's a great idea. Especially since her kidnapping was a part of the Dimera/Kiriakis war at the time. Not only could it cause conflict between Stephanie and Alex/the Kiriakises, it could also be tied to both families trying to buy the hospital, and how that would make the hospital look, since these villainous families both want to own it.
    • Hmmmmmmm... I'll have to go back and check

    • @j swift @carolineg I was looking at some scenes on YT of Shelley's take on Stephanie.. and her 2007/2008 take on Stephanie was very spirited, bold, and confident.   I often think her ordeal in 2009 when she was kidnapped and kept in the morgue by that creepy guy probably did change her.. but I don't recall the show ever focusing on the after effects of such a traumatic event. In fact... her novel/manuscript should have been loosely based on that trauma in a fictionized account.  Maybe the rest of the manuscript will involve some of that.. but I doubt Ron C would ever think to include that event in a constructive way to explain the current behaviors/motivations of Stephanie.
