If they had timed it right and had the period where Ray felt he was not worthy of Donna and Pam feeling vulnerable that she was unable to have a child with Bobby, they should have had Ray and Pam rekindle their prior relationship. The affair would result in Pam getting pregnant and having Ray's child. It would have opened up a whole new dynamic in the Ewing family. Maybe even have Pam and Ray married for a while. Pam could have gotten back to her roots and building herself into a stronger person. The way she was before the Ewings damaged her.

Working my way through the 1986-87 season, and what in the blue blazes (or rather, purple blazes) did Sue Ellen wear to Bobby & Pam's wedding?

Onto early 1987 ... good lord, Clayton, let it go about Wes Parmalee.

Morgan Fairchild Reveals Why She Turned Down a Full-Time...

The star opens up about her relationship with Larry Hagman and her return to 'Bold and the Beautiful.'

I didn't know Morgan was asked to reprise the role of Jenna. I wonder if that would have made her run more interesting. I think the character was at a dead end no matter what, but Morgan Fairchild is always more interesting to watch than Priscilla Presley (aside from those Naked Gun films).

I agree. I feel like Jenna would have been an entirely different character had she remained in the role.

Reusing the tender music from the end of "Paternity Suit" throughout "High Noon for Calhoun" is certainly a choice. I'm guessing they never used that music during the TNT series.
