Members Chris B Posted October 27, 2013 Members Share Posted October 27, 2013 It's just a waste of time having them appear and do nothing. Why can't Lucy and Ryland be in a relationship? Why can't Lucy have a twentysomething son or daughter to compete with John Ross and Christopher? Of course Bobby's biological son was raised by Ray and Jenna, yet that isn't even brought up. I also think with JR gone that they should've signed Ted Shackelford to a contract and brought another Ewing brother into the fold. He fit in well during his short stint and they could've easily paired him with Sue Ellen and gotten lots of milage out of Valene as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 28, 2013 Members Share Posted October 28, 2013 It must be Pamela's and John Ross wedding...since Audrey Landers is returning too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted October 28, 2013 Members Share Posted October 28, 2013 I thought Audrey Landers said she wasn't invited back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 28, 2013 Members Share Posted October 28, 2013 They might have asked Judy Landers by mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted October 28, 2013 Members Share Posted October 28, 2013 I must say, the lack of Audrey Landers is very odd. Her appearance last season should've lasted longer. Her daughter had a miscarriage and almost died, yet there was no follow-through. And with her daughter being a main character it would just make sense to have her around. It certainly makes more sense to have Afton around than Carmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 30, 2013 Members Share Posted October 30, 2013 Question to Chris B (and anyone else): If you COULD replace the current "Dallas" writing staff w/ other, perhaps better writers, who would you get? (Not being antagonistic, Chris. I'm just curious.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted October 30, 2013 Members Share Posted October 30, 2013 Honestly, I have no idea, but I would cast somebody who understands serialized story better. Cynthia Cidre needs to be writing procedurals and only that. She's someone who doesn't even like soaps and you can't write a soap opera and not like soaps. It just makes no sense. I will say, if they do reboot Knots Landing I'd pick Lynn Marie Latham and Bernie Lechowick to return. They helped modernized Knots once and I feel they could do it again. With Dallas they should've listened to David Jacobs suggestions and hired people more familiar with serialized storytelling. Some of their ideas were good (like the Sue Ellen/Gary/Val thing last year), but the execution was terrible. You can't tell a story arc in one or two scenes. The new Dallas is full of moments, but there is no organic character developments that show you how they get to those moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted October 31, 2013 Members Share Posted October 31, 2013 I'm still astounded by the cheapness of that cover design. Just bad, bad, bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted November 9, 2013 Members Share Posted November 9, 2013 Audrey Landers is definitely back on the show. There is a pic of her with Ann at the wedding of John Ross and Pamela Rebecca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted November 15, 2013 Members Share Posted November 15, 2013 Sorry if this has been posted: I just hope she is joking about how she has signs in the writers room that dictate what plot devices to use. If so David Jacobs needs to return to burn those down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members glatwt Posted November 15, 2013 Members Share Posted November 15, 2013 I do love me some Cynthia cidre, have since ive seen Cane, but I think she needs some help with the soapy storytelling, like david Jacobs, lynn marie latham or my personal favorite mike Kelly!! this show could be HUGE and were already going on season 3 (16) by original standards so come on dallas..... make us proud!!!
