Barbara Stock shares memories of her time on Dallas, including that Ken Kercheval was the only cast member she knew outside of the show and that she did not actually realize she was being written out.

Victoria

[te.]

To be fair, I don't think she was written out as much as not being written for as they had to gear up for the final episode. I'd assume they might've had the option to use her again but they just didn't find the space.

Is that recent? She looks good. I like her social media posts about her animals and things. Someone was trying to give her crap about her relationship with Andy Gibb and the drug issues. And she replied, “You didn’t know us. You didn’t know what was in our hearts. Tread lightly on broken dreams.” Classy way to shut someone down.

I always liked Victoria but it seems she was an outsider with the cast. The public often viewed her as frosty and a bit eccentric. She came up in a time when it was pretty much a man's world and I think she had to put on a tough exterior to succeed.

She built a comfortable lifestyle for herself with her business ventures (skincare etc..)
