I wonder what year the producers wanted to fire Linda?

She still has a lots of zest for life.

I'm surprised a soap hasn't snatched her up.

My guess is the eighth season, because in the ninth season is when Linda Gray directed her episode.

Rewatching the Ben Stivers/Wes Parmalee story…

The writers missed an opportunity when they wrapped up the Wes Parmalee storyline. They had Bobby fly in and announce that Wes was a fake, and he was not Jock.

They could have siezed the opportunity by having Wes just disappear.  

Was he a fraud who just gave up?

Was he really Jock, and left for find more evidence to prove that he was Jock?

Did somebody threaten him into leaving?

It could have been more intersting to leave it open like that-- so that the viewers could debate whether he was Jock or not.

I recall reading an article saying the same thing. I think they should've made Ben/Wes Jock. It would've added so much more story to the show. I mean Miss Ellie was recast and I don't recall viewers complaining. Donna Reed would've stayed had Barbara not thrown a fit about being replaced.

Yeah I remember SOD was highly critical of it in their 1986 (or 1987) year end review. 
 

Probably the strangest element was Ben/Wes a premonition of Pam’s lol? I’ve spent years avoiding ever watching the dream season as I found it pointless to even rewatch but after recently rewatching it wasn’t that bad…..

 

Sheesh by today’s standards the shocking revelation would have been an alive and well Bobby was wearing a Mark Graison mask all along and forgot to put it back with the explanation he had to fake his death with a wax body to avoid Ewing enemies 🤣

When did Ben first appear? I've been going back to find it and to no avail. I thought Ben appeared before Pam's dream began.

I think she was never interested on staying on A Soap very Long, She made those Guest Appearances on B&B, Hollyoaks and WinterThorne but were all short term!
