Members mphs19952003 Posted August 6, 2023 Members Share Posted August 6, 2023 That was a wild ep to see. BBG was amazing in it and the resolution was da bomb! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted August 6, 2023 Members Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) Watching season 7, the storylines are pretty decent and stronger than the previous season but I think the casting for Katherine Wentworth was a complete miss and hinders so much of the potential. She’s not mysterious subtle or intriguing, she’s just blah! I have a hard time buying Bobbie and Pam wouldn’t have seen right thru her already and it makes the relationship angst less believable even with Mark and Jenna as interlopers. Sue Ellen and the pool boy was also pretty gross but I think that story has wrapped where I’m at.

Members Soapsuds Posted August 7, 2023 Members Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Who would you have cast as Katherine? I did like Morgan in the role. Pam was very gullible where Katherine was concerned. She believed everything that came out of her mouth. Afton was on to Katherine game very early. Linda Gray hated the Peter Richards story. Linda did say that she enjoyed working with Christopher Atkins. He was very committed to do his best with the story. I had forgotten too until I recently saw it again.

Members Beetle Bailey Posted August 7, 2023 Members Share Posted August 7, 2023 I did not like the Peter Richards story either. I think Dallas should have copied what Knots Landing did with Lisa Hartman. After Ciji Dunne was killed off in the 4th season, she was brought back in the 5th season as Cathy Geary. After Timothy Patrick Murphy was killed off as Mickey in Dallas' 6th season, he should have been cast as Peter Richards instead of Chris Atkins. TPM played a college student in Hunter in 1986 and he was believable even though he was in his mid to late 20's at the time. To me, Chris Atkins did not have chemistry with either Linda Gray or Charlene Tilton. Greg Evigan or Dennis Christopher might have been a better choice to play Peter. Even though Grant Aleksander was on Guiding Light during Dallas' season 7, he would have been a great Peter Richards. Laurence Lau could have worked. The show should have cast a mature looking actor yet also look college aged to play Peter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted August 7, 2023 Members Share Posted August 7, 2023 Jon Erik Hexum may have been a good casting choice for Peter. He would have been 26 in 1983. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted August 7, 2023 Members Share Posted August 7, 2023 I was not a fan of the Peter Richard's story either and it largely had to do with CA in the role. I completely agree that he lacked chemistry with both Linda and Charlene. I loved the direction it was headed with Sue Ellen feeling conflicted about the age difference, Peter's friends at the restaurant thinking Sue Ellen was his mom, Peter being involved in the life of her son. It had great elements that could have produced some intense drama, but CA was just creepy. He just looked like a boy. I wish they would have cast someone a bit more manly and rugged. I know times have changed and beauty standards but he just looks scrawny and that lipless smile and limp blond hair do nothing. Not to mention his personality was lame too. I'm sure they didn't want to push the envelope too much at the time, but it would have really been more effective if we did see a lot more passion and an actual love scene between the pair as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted August 7, 2023 Members Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Christopher Atkins awakened something in me, and many men my age, for which I will always be grateful. Was he an awesome actor? No. Could he wear the heck out of a crop top? You betcha! And for that alone he should be remembered with the appropriate amount of reverence.

Members Beetle Bailey Posted August 9, 2023 Members Share Posted August 9, 2023 Woody Brown looked similar to Chris Atkins, only a little older. He played Skipper Weldon on Flamingo Road. He would have been a better Peter Richards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted August 9, 2023 Members Share Posted August 9, 2023 I forgot about him. He also played Blair's boyfriend on Facts Of Life (1983-84). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris 2 Posted August 9, 2023 Members Share Posted August 9, 2023 Yep - he would have been better and you could have seen Sue Ellen with him. There was no chemistry between Peedur and Sue Ellen. “I love you, Mrs. Ewing.” Ugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 11, 2023 Members Share Posted August 11, 2023 What a difference! SD vs HD. The scenes are part of two episodes. Pam confronting JR happens at the beginning of the next episode. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted August 11, 2023 Members Share Posted August 11, 2023 Dallas died when Victoria left the show. Those last years when most of the originals were gone was pure torture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted August 11, 2023 Members Share Posted August 11, 2023 I just hate how they've removed anything dark about the series. A subtle dark-tinting of the clip would bring much more richness back into the scene, as exampled: Please register in order to view this content Just a subtle difference that, to me, enhances the scene. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
