Dallas 2.0: Discussion Thread

Who says I'd get rid of Rebecca? Just because she'd go to a sanitarium doesn't mean she'd be off the show permanently.

That's true. What if she got locked up in the sanitarium...And became friends with someone from Dallas' past, that is also locked up. Imagine the last shot of the season, Rebecca is in the sanitarium. She walks into the commons area for the looney's and sits down. Just then a woman walks over and extends her hand, saying "Hi, I'm Pam". Shoot to VP's smirking face. Fade to black.

Oh [!@#$%^&*], I did it again...lol. I need help.

That's why they got John Ross.

Oh, Lord. If these people are banking on Josh Henderson becoming the breakout villain of DALLAS 2.0, then they don't have a prayer.

I don't want Dynasty and Knots Landing, I want Dallas.

Yet, it seems the best these people can do thus far is "The Yellow Rose."

Oh that reminds me of my favorite Digger Barnes scene. David Wayne was great

If Gary and Val were to take a bigger role, I'd LOVE to see that scene revisited with Gary in the Digger role. That's been a dream of mine since it was announced Ted turned down a return.

For those interested, here's a major final episode spoiler from Ultimate Dallas.

Cliff is going to reveal that he has a son, JR's son, that he raised as his own. His name I believe is Eric Barnes. Now the speculation begins whether this is JR and Cally's unnamed son or perhaps, could it be Pam and Bobby's son? I'll be disappointed if it's a new child considering JR has two other sons that could be used and Bobby also has another biological son. There's no need to have any unknown retconned kids.

Love Digger Barnes. There was only one thing to sober him up, the name Jock Ewing. I just saw last week. Pam and Cliff were trying to tell him that she married a Ewing, but he was too drunk to fully appreciate what they were saying. Once Cliff said Pam married Jock Ewing's boy, Digger was as sober as a judge. It was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen. The name Jock Ewing did what 20 canisters of pure coffee grounds never could. Poor little fool and Cliff was all too happy to follow in his loser footsteps.

(*What does this mean? It means Kristin actually gave birth to twins: Rebecca, then Tommy. Both are J.R.'s. Rebecca is taken to a sanitarium, while Tommy and J.R. deal with the aftermath of her revelation. And Christopher, once he learns he isn't Kristin's son, embarks on a year-long journey to find his real mother. A journey that begins with a visit with his bio dad, Jeff Farraday.)

Jeff Faraday died. I can't remember how, but I remember finding out that he was dead when his sister came back years later to seek custody of Christopher. Her name was Lisa Alden, and she was played by Amy Stock-Poynton.

John Ross is the only good/decent one....we need Angelica back so she can blow the rest of the young character to pieces....lol......or they need a la Pam with the ACME 18 wheeler with the young characters in a car....lol...i am so mean...lol

I don't believe Angelica ever truly existed to begin with. Wasn't she limited to the dream season?

Yeah, she mentioned that he was dead but JR was behind her wanting Christopher. Lisa Alden was another WTF moment for Dallas. It seemed ever actress hired was blonde.

She was just in the dream season...didnt exist.

Same.

Yes, I've "pitched" Tommy and Rebecca being J.R.'s long-lost son and daughter. But at least I made Kristin their mother, and tied in their conception to the point in the story where Kristin was (supposedly) pregnant with Christopher. If Eric turns out not to be J.R. and Cally's, but the result of some random ONS or past dalliance no one's ever heard of, then these writers are about as hack-y as anyone working currently in daytime.

[!@#$%^&*].

Damn.

Any chance, though, Lisa might have been lying? Perhaps, she was in cahoots with Jeff, who was faking his death, in order to get Christopher back? Because, that could be a nice little reveal that might turn Christopher's world upside down.

She was just in the dream season...didnt exist.

It'd be a mighty fine in-joke, though, if someone were to mention "Marinos Shipping" as one of Ewing Oil's newest business partners with everyone going, "Marinos Shipping? Never heard of it!"

I would love it if the mentioned spoiler was Mandy's. But it will probably some offscreen s hit like James....lol

Worst Case Scenario: They'll bring back Katherine to explain how she and J.R. conceived Eric.

LOL...I was thinking of Holly Harwood.....lol

On the other hand...

Best (or Better) Case Scenario: Eric's mother was Julie Gray.

That's why they got John Ross. Maybe this actor isn't the greatest but it is John Ross's job to stir the pot. The problem with an Abby type is once you insert that sort of starring alpha bitch into the show then it isn't Dallas anymore, it is Dynasty or Knots Landing. I don't want Dynasty and Knots Landing, I want Dallas. Dallas is about the Ewing boys, two generations worth now.

I agree.

But John Ross is lacking that dynamic element that made J.R., Alexis, Abby, Angela, Sable, Zach, et cetera, so special... they were completely laid back in their villainy, at times, even soft-spoken. John Ross is a huffer and a puffer and you just know that this little [!@#$%^&*] is gonna get his, and he's gonna get it soon. I think the aforementioned heavies' understated, close to the vest scheming was more delicious to watch. I wouldn't mind seeing a character, male or female, a little more like that and less obvious and blustery with their "badness" as John Ross is being played.
