It is probably because of the dream season that made you forget. They originally lost their son in the dream season but when Bobby popped up in the shower, Donna gave birth to a baby girl and she moved to Washington. Their daughter and Lucas Wade would fit nicely in the cast. Even Mandy could have left Dallas back in 87 pregnant with JR baby...a daughter maybe who falls for John Ross making Sue Ellen boil with anger...and where is Cally's son with JR?? I could go on...lol

I thoroughly enjoyed Sue Ellen/Joss Ross scenes, but way too much Emma not enough Pam wheeling and dealing. Although I suspect that will, change once that tape of John Ross banging Emma comes out; I'm in Colorado but I've had to look up what exactly fracking is.

Yes, that damn dream season. And I always loved loved loved Donna and Susan Howard. I was so excited over the rumors of her appearing last year and then ... nothing. Sigh. I remember her going to Washington (I think I need to re-watch original Dallas for the millionth time) and hated losing Donna.

Very true about Mandy.

I remembered Cally's, which is why I was, of course, disappointed in her return as well. Ugh, I really need to just accept these characters are just going to be cameos and nothing more but it's still disappointing they're not utilizing the history as they should, or any reboot would. And seeing Donna Mills wasted on GH makes me crave for her on Dallas as Abby, along with more apperances by Ted and Joan as Gary and Val. Although Judith Light is serving that Abby purpose in a sense. Donna and her daughter could serve a great purpose, as could Ray and Lucy, in this fight over Southfork, drilling, Ewing Energies, etc.

And Lucy seriously never married and had kids in the decades this show was off? It's always so LOL worthy when she and Ray just randomly pop up.

I could go on and on as well. Sooooo much this show could do. I really worry because TNT is very quick to axe a show, even in it's 3rd season. They don't care.

Yeah I believe it was a the Ewing rodeo where Donna lost her baby. Werent the rumors that Susan Howard left because they wanted her to cheat on Ray with JR?? The writers supposedly didnt have any story for Donna but that one. Now that the show is moving along I think its time to bring the rest of the offspring to Dallas. It is a shame that Mitch and Lucy never had a child. Also they could bring the original cartel back with offspring too...so many things available and its not being used. They could even bring in Gary and Val's twins to the show. Shakes head...lol

Just finished season 2 and the bullshit keeps on piling:

Pamela's not only dead, but she died of pancreatic cancer after many months of horrible surgeries to fix the burns on 60% of her body, while never getting the chance to reunite with her family. And, then, as if that wasn't enough, Bobby wasn't even allowed to mourn her, with the throwaway line of having already done his mourning. rolleyes.gif What horrid crap. At least they didn't make Cliff into a killer.

I would rather they come up with a plausible explanation for her absence, something that didn't require the death of a beloved character after MONTHS of painful surgeries, pancreatic cancer and the inability to fulfill her dying wish (not to mention the two years of back and forth on this issue on DALLAS 2.0). Anything could have been done--she's in a coma, she talks to Christopher on the phone, anything. Just not that horrible, painful ending they gave her while refusing to let Bobby show the tiniest bit of sadness over it, only for the sake of those damn Ewing shares.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
