Jordana Brewster and Julie Gonzalo were on talking about Dallas and how it is a perfect fit with TNT. Jordana talked about her time on ATWT and how said she was that it was no longer on the air and hoped that daytime soaps return again someday. They mentioned how both were hooked on telenovelas and how they liked there was a beginning, middle and ending. Julie discuss how she ran into 3 fans of the new show...mother, daughter and grandmother who were also fans of the original show.

That would be good and I think that is what is going to happen. Ken said the cliffhanger would be great....he was gushing about it so it must include him.

Loved the latest episode.

I just feel the cast is too small, there's no B Storyline going on. Linda Gray's role has been expanded, thankfully, I hope to see that continue in Season 2.

We need more of the original cast, more Lucy, more Sue Ellen, more JR...

Exactly! Claustrophobic is the perfect word for it. It's like the show exists in a void, the Cattle Baron's Ball and John Ros/Lucy lunch scenes were the only ones where the show wasn't living in its own little world.

One story is not enough for a serial, while I have enjoyed the show as a whole, I have not enjoyed watching one story exclusively.

thats what I said from the first episode. They need to add more characters that arent Ewings. Unfortunately the show failed to really create and develop any minor characters that I could see expanded in season 2. They need to add like 3-4 new people

They need to add more Ewings. Plus, it's kind of pathetic that the old gang is the thing that I'm looking forward to see every Thursday. Christoper and Elena are boring, Rebecca bland, John Ross is a good character, but Henderson can't act.

Well, there is the new bald billionaire. He I guess they want to be seen as a new Jeremy Wendell. One thing about old Dallas was it's company of stock players who never got stories but showed up year after year with regularity to help fill out that world. Dallas would not have been Dallas without Marilee Stone, Harve Smithfield, Punk Anderson, Jordan Lee, Sly, Phyllis and Jackie and the other secretaries. Even people like Donna's once a year son-in-law Dave Culver and the maitre' d of the Cattleman's Club and the club itself were always consistent. (I forget her name now, sorry, but it was something unexpected)
