I concur on this! If they only want Lucy to make occasional visit, at least make them memorable. Last season, she had a scene with John Ross and for a second, I thought she would side with him over Bobby (which would totally contradict the Lucy of old.. who was always closest to Bobby/Pam).. so imagine my glee when I saw Lucy exiting Bobby's office and walking right past John Ross. Even if Bobby hadn't confirmed it to John Ross, you knew that Lucy was really siding with her favorite uncle Bobby.

I could totally see her interacting with Emma.. and having her number as well. I remember Lucy having Kristen's number the second she came to Southfork so i could see her viewing Emma the same way. Shame they didnt make Emma Lucy's daughter... wouldn't have been a stretch. I'm guessing she's in her early 20's.. and Lucy had left Dallas in 1990 very suddenly (and she hardly had much airtime that season anyway). Oh well.. what could have been.

I expected to be once again bored to tears, but I loved this episode

The family dynamics, Christopher and John Ross bonding, John Ross like a crying little boy trying to act like the man his father wanted him to, Bobby being alive for the first time in two seasons, not to mention that Sue Ellen next to the coffin made me burst into tears..

I cried several times during the episode and I think that JR's masterpiece will be orchestrating his own death.

JR said to Lucy: "Why don't you have that junior plastic surgeon you married to design you a new face; one without a mouth" :lol: Anyone else finding it odd looking at Lucy grown? I just imagine her as a rambunctious teen

Who were the two women talking to Sue Ellen?

Ewww, it took seeing Cliff mention that Christopher was a Barnes and Rebecca taking him out of there for me to realize she was married to her cousin. I don't care that he was adopted.

Did they even show a scene of John Ross and Emma meeting? Him just walking up to her taking her pills and later that night her having sex with him just seemed so odd

Damn! Bobby ripped Ann a new one. I felt bad for her there

Pam! Wasn't expecting to hear her written into the plot. Its too bad VP wont return

Chris was Pamela Barnes biological son correct? And Rebecca is Cliff's biological daughter....so yeah they are legit first cousins which is EWWWW.

The John Ross having sex with that Emma girl thing was just another weird thing about the episode. Weird as in it just came out of the blue. But I did find it oddly kinda hot.

Much I like Ann's new hairstyle I still was rooting for Bobby when he finally unloaded on her. She SO deserved it. She's been acting weird since like episode 3 of season 1 and Bobby has just been quiet this entire time and put up with all of her issues. And the one time he wants to stay silent she tries to prod into his feelings? Back off Ann

Sue Ellen's late sister Kristin (who shot J.R.) is Christopher's biological mother.

The two women Sue Ellen was talking two are Mandy (brunette, J.R.'s former mistress) and Cally (blonde, J.R.'s former wife).

Great episode.

Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray did Larry Hagman proud. I thought Linda Gray blew the roof off the place, especially with her eulogy, that was great.

It was terrific to see Mandy Winger after all these years, I like that the costumer decked her out in diamonds and pearls, looks like that tramp did well for herself. Deborah Shelton always had such a great voice.

    • I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts.
    • The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.
    • Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.
    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it.
