Members Soapsuds Posted June 25, 2023 Members Share Posted June 25, 2023 This! When Bobby left they still had JR vs Pam which the show didn't commit to. The premise of the show was Pam vs the Ewings. When she left it was a different show. The only thing that kept it going that season was JR vs Sue Ellen. Everything else sucked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted June 25, 2023 Members Share Posted June 25, 2023 I still can't believe they let Donna go and tried to pair up Ray and Jenna. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted June 25, 2023 Members Share Posted June 25, 2023 If anything they should have written off Ray and kept Donna. After the Mickey-story Ray became more and more irrelevant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GLATWT88 Posted June 27, 2023 Members Share Posted June 27, 2023 With all the departures in season 10, I don't understand why they didn't hold on to Jamie and Jack. They were Ewings and being torn between Ewing and Barnes lines. Jamie had a romantic connection with Cliff which blurred the line of loyalty she had to either side. Jack had a stake in Ewing which was compromised by April coming into the picture. It would have kept the feud going with both Ewings and Barnes in several directions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jagger1966 Posted June 27, 2023 Members Share Posted June 27, 2023 It was odd that Jack was written out after his ex-wife April came aboard but it was no surprise that Jamie was. I don't know why the show wanted her gone so badly but someone obviously did. That poor thing was killed off TWICE! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted June 27, 2023 Members Share Posted June 27, 2023 I know! I always think that they tried to get rid of her once but she was saved simply because the whole season was a dream and then she's killed off again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted June 27, 2023 Members Share Posted June 27, 2023 I just can't believe they were still throwing young women at Cliff at that point. I just saw Jamie debut and it makes me squirm to think about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted June 27, 2023 Members Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Jamie was killed three times. Twice in the dream season and once in the following season which happened off screen. All we got was Sue Ellen yelling Oh no when the call of her death was revealed. After the lawsuit..I don't think they knew what to do with Jamie. As for Jack @GLATWT88 @Jagger1966.....Dack Rambo said he and Larry Hagman did not get along the first two seasons. It got worse when Patrick Duffy returned. He accused Larry of having him fired in 1987. Dack said Larry didn't like him because of his bisexuality.

Members GLATWT88 Posted June 27, 2023 Members Share Posted June 27, 2023 I know Dack passed less than a decade after leaving the series, but have any other details surfaced? Do you remember where Dack shared this information? Did Larry ever respond to these claims? Did Jamie die twice in the dream season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted June 27, 2023 Members Share Posted June 27, 2023 I don't recall where I read it but it's been out there for some time. Larry did deny getting him fired but I don't think he ever denied not liking him. Jamie almost died when the barrels fell on her. I think at the time there was a chance she would be written out. Then she was in Jack's car when it exploded due to Angelica hired hit man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris 2 Posted June 28, 2023 Members Share Posted June 28, 2023 I think the challenge with the Ewing cousins is that cousin relationships are never as charged as sibling relationships. And neither Jack nor Jamie were particularly well cast. Jenilee Harrison simply wasn’t a great actress. And Dack Rambo had this coldness to his performances and didn’t have chemistry with anyone. If they needed more family members, they would have been better off giving Clayton a couple of more children. They never utilized him properly - he was a total cipher, who pretty much gave up his entire life to move to Southfork to devote himself to Ellie. Where were his friends or other family members (beyond Dusty and crazy Jessica) and business dealings? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
