Dallas 2.0: Discussion Thread

[Soapsuds]

The coma storyline could have worked but I only want VP in the role. She could have woke from her coma to reunite with her family.

[Chris B]

They used Victoria Principal for press and to get the fans invested when she had told them she wasn't returning. That's stupid on their part because the wasted so much screentime on it. There are so many characters that could be used before Pam. Hell, they could keep Pam dangling and just use Katherine and say Katherine has her somewhere in case VP decides to return at some point. There is also Afton who makes sense for this show and Jenna who has a son with Bobby. Not to mention Gary and Val could've been added to the regular cast after their stint last season. They could use some of what they give Judith and give that to Valene and use her as a rival for Sue Ellen.

I love Judith, and she is excellent in this role, yet I agree. I think it would be fascinating to see Val in that capacity, and JVA would've eaten that up.

[Chris B]

Yea I thought what they setup with Gary and Val was actually interesting, which is rare for this show. Especially with Sue Ellen falling off the wagon, the show could've kept Gary down and out and have them drinking together with Val trying to get him away from Sue Ellen. Those two also could've given Bobby and Ann something more interesting to do. As a collective, those five plus Harris would've been very interested IMO.

I'd rather Pam be killed off than Cynthia Cidre throw her under the bus for her pet Ann

Spoiler pics for mid season finale

Emma-John Ross-Rebecca????

I doubt it but that would be hot....

[KMan101]

I think I remember reading Cidre crowing about how she came up with something that hadn't been done on Dallas before, so I assume that would be a threesome between John Ross, Emma and Rebecca.

Wow. That would be hot. LOL

[KMan101]

Oh, and last post on Susan Howard, LOL, but here are her words on why she exited original recipe Dallas:

[Soapsuds]

It's a shame we lost two great characters in Pam and Donna. The show was never the same after they left.

[Soapsuds]

Dallas Marathon tonight starting at 10 pm central time.

[KMan101]

It wasn't. And sad part is they were both basically pushed out.

[ThePrinceOfSunspear]

What did the new guy who Elena is involved with do with her purse and that object? Sorry for my naivete but I couldn't tell what the heck that was or why he was putting holes in it....

[KateW]

Nicholas/Joakim was tampering with Elena's birth control.

[quartermainefan]

This was an ok finale but again, the writing for Sue Ellen is ridiculous. She doesn't really have any problems personally, just that her son is cheating on his wife. From this she spiraled out of control and became a complete drunk after 20 years sobriety? And nothing set off her binge tonight other than Pamela calling her a weak drunk. Sue Ellen has been called a lot worse without needing to hit 14 bottles.

As for Pamela, the end there didn't make a lot of sense. The three way was OTT. Why did Emma and John Ross even go along with it? Pamela initiated that so she could commit suicide in front of them I guess, but this reaction seems out of left field since she had only been married to John Ross for 30 seconds and it wasn't so long ago she was in love with Christopher. Juaquim trying to get Elena pregnant came from out of nowhere too. Obviously he has loved her all these years but why the need to impregnate her?

The new girl's husband, Drew, I can't get too excited about that story. I guess this episode left me indifferent.
