LOL. I missed that Afton/Sue Ellen exchange for some reason. Dang.

I agree with you about Afton, though. I think the characters from the past used as props could be used a lot more effectively with a bit more character depth. If the fans of the show now weren't fans of the show then, how on earth and why would they even care about Lucy, Ray or Afton? That's always my problem with any show that relies on familiar faces, yet does nothing to make them familiar to the new audience. Not saying they are needing to be leading storylines but I'm just so disappointed they're always cameo appearances.

And it is a real shame the ratings aren't reflecting how much improved the show is. I can't believe it took Larry Hagman passing for Dallas to actually become Dallas (Man, I miss him so much). It's clear Cidre had no desire to do the real Dallas in the beginning and then overtime ... I still hate her for hiring Jesse Metcalfe and always will.

I will give her a ton of credit for finally utilizing Linda Gray. Sue Ellen is quickly becoming the show's glue, IMO, even more so than Bobby, and one of the biggest reasons I even wanted to watch this year. I'm glad I have. At least Elena's sloooooowly becoming more interesting. Sort of. Brewster is just so lifeless. Reminds me of Kelly Monaco. Can do better but is just so blaaah.

Yeah I agree about Afton..she isnt the person she once was but I can see how Sue Ellen still has bitterness towards her. Let us not forget the snark remark she made to Mandy during JR's wake. She may have forgiven but not forgotten all that JR did to her so I can see how she would still not like Afton.

Ugh...Metcalfe ruins the whole show for me. He is just there as Christopher. He is such a weak character. I wish they would recast. Even Nicolas is a better character than him. At least Elena is a little more interesting even though the story doesnt make sense for her revenge.

Sue Ellen vs John Ross(JR 2.0) is classic and I think it was the right direction to go considering Larry is no longer with us.

Could Dusty return?

Could Dusty return?

Jared Martin is 72 and still alive so it is possible. He might be the one to get Sue Ellen out of the hospital ala original Dallas.

Season 3 wrap party was tonight in Dallas.

I always had a rough go at taking GK seriously whether he was on Dallas or Y&R because I always associated him with the Naked Gun franchise.

Dusty was always too good for Sue Ellen. For her he wound up dead, then paralyzed and impotent and she still wouldn't kick her JR habit.

I recall JR mentioning to Sue Ellen that Dusty was boring and she wouldnt last with a boring man. She needed a man with more life than Dusty.

So it looks like 80 cliffhanger meets 83 cliffhanger next week! Can't wait!!

No creativity and nowhere near the build up from the original Southfork Fire. At least they're doing a cliffhanger for once. That's probably the biggest shock here.

Is this the finale for the year or just some sort of break for a couple of months a la Walking Dead?

It's just the mid-season finale. The show returns in August.

I had to lol at Cidre so happy to do two cliffhangers this year. I'm like bitch where were those cliffhangers in Season 1 and 2? LOL

Agreed KMan and why dont they bring back Donna's and Ray's daughter?? Have they forgotten he has a daughter?

LOL, I totally forgot they had a daughter. Wow. Shaking my head at how I forgot. Now I want Ray used even more. Why aren't Lucas and his daughter on this show? I get the budget is probably very small, but still ... Ray's already a glorified extra, toss him a few more lines and boom. And why Lucy isn't a Real Housewife of Dallas is beyond me.

The only reason I can even tolerate Metcalfe this year is because they are finally making him the boring romantic lead he should have been. And AnnaLynne McCord has been a good addition, even wasted on Metcalfe, they at least do have SOME chemistry.

The fire no but John Ross yes. Although the bulid up has been quick...nothing like the original show. But aren't shows like that now?? Storylines moving at a faster pace....I am curious how the fire at Southforth starts?? Is it the Mexican drug cartel?? Does Sue Ellen set Southfork on fire by accident?? But I do get what you are saying Chris.
