Members Broderick Posted October 9, 2023 Members Share Posted October 9, 2023 The problem with that storyline is that Peter looked to be about 13 years old, and Sue Ellen's HEAD was twice as big as Peter's little head. lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted October 9, 2023 Members Share Posted October 9, 2023 I can dig it. Agreed. I'm guessing that someone with the show figured that John Ross was the best tool for humanizing J.R., thus most of their interactions were as doting father and son. There's nothing wrong with that, of course (and Bobby and Christopher had a similar dynamic), but it does limit the dramatic possibilities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members te. Posted October 9, 2023 Members Share Posted October 9, 2023 I mean, I think the fact that Chris Atkins looked the way he did was intentional - Peter was never meant to represent a real threat to JR and if anything it became more sleazy because Atkins looked like a boy. They could've easily hired a 23-year old 6'3 stud, but then people might've actually taken the romance seriously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted October 9, 2023 Members Share Posted October 9, 2023 I get that, but I'm just not quite sure what Sue Ellen would find appealing about Peter. Yes, he was boyish and a non-threat to JR's manipulation and power. However, I feel he should have been more rugged, maybe from the wrong side of the tracks- initially pursuing Lucy but ends up trying to conquer Sue Ellen. He gives Sue Ellen the attention she wants and in some ways JR is intimidated. Peter does play a huge contrast to the men that Sue Ellen had been with before, but maybe I'm a bit bias because I don't find Chris Atkins appealing at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 9, 2023 Members Share Posted October 9, 2023 This weekend, I saw an ad for a Dallas channel on Pluto TV. Is this new? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted October 10, 2023 Members Share Posted October 10, 2023 Are you sure it wasn't Dynasty? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 10, 2023 Members Share Posted October 10, 2023 IMO, Christopher Atkins was just an odd actor for DALLAS to create a brand-new character for. He would've fit much more easily into DYNASTY or THE COLBYS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 10, 2023 Members Share Posted October 10, 2023 Hahaha, OMG, you’re right! So, that’s why Joan Collins flashed by on my screen.

Still, I am interested in checking out that channel now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted October 13, 2023 Members Share Posted October 13, 2023 Priscilla Presley is featured in this brief BTS video for Sofia Coppola's new film about her life with Elvis: I have had very little time for Priscilla as Jenna on the show (or in her diabolical guest stint on Melrose Place), but I'll always be very fond of her because of the Naked Gun films. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted October 15, 2023 Members Share Posted October 15, 2023 I know TPTB at both shows (DALLAS and DYNASTY) seriously considered a crossover at one point, but I'm glad that the plans, if there were any, ultimately fell through. IMO, DALLAS and DYNASTY were pitched differently. DYNASTY was the epitome of glamour and high camp, whereas DALLAS seemed more grounded. On the other hand, if DALLAS had ever considered a crossover with FALCON CREST, I think the results would have been quite interesting to watch, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted October 16, 2023 Members Share Posted October 16, 2023 Who would have come out on top if there had been crossovers and we'd have seen Angela vs JR, Alexis vs JR or Angela vs Alexis or maybe even JR vs Alexis vs Angela? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted October 16, 2023 Members Share Posted October 16, 2023 I can't see 2 rival networks and 2 different production companies working together to arrange a crossover. Had anything like that ever happened before or since? Just Enquirer hype I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted October 16, 2023 Members Share Posted October 16, 2023 There was a crossover between EastEnders and Coronation Street in the UK some years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Street_(Children_in_Need) There was also a crossover (sort of) between all the major British soaps just a few years ago. EastEnders, Coronation Street and other soaps to crossover in historic TV event 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
