Members Chris 2 Posted October 11, 2021 Members Share Posted October 11, 2021 Yeah - I agree about Terry Lester. He had the same twinkle in his eye that Larry Hagman’s JR did. I never put Victor and JR together, because Larry Hagman can act and Eric Braeden…can’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Frank2803 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Members Share Posted October 12, 2021 Nikki Newman comes to mind with her alcoholism Holly and Roger from guiding light had a JR and Sue Ellen type of relationship even if the former were created first 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TVFAN1144 Posted October 22, 2021 Members Share Posted October 22, 2021 Whit Mcalll on ATWT sort of like JR business tycoon The Abbots on Y & R often would eat breakfast together reminiscent of the Ewings The Spaulding on GL even though they were created before Dallas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Frank2803 Posted October 24, 2021 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2021 Funny enough Daniel Pilon who played Alan Spaulding # 2 was on a few episodes of Dallas I always thought his Alan was the most like JR ewing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Joseph Posted April 25, 2022 Members Share Posted April 25, 2022 I gave a Look on EastEnders from England, They had a Character in the 1980's Called Den "Dirty Den" Watts, he was dishonest and a Serial Cheater on Wife Angie, who drank, sounds like JR and Sue Ellen doesn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted September 17, 2022 Members Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) Three CBS soaps introduced new villains cut from the JR mold, and all four had parental issues plus their mothers were played by Golden Age Hollywood actresses.

Members heffos Posted November 7, 2022 Members Share Posted November 7, 2022 Chris Bernau's Alan Spaulding was touted as daytime's JR back in the day. They were similar in being the tropes of a villain protagonist or anti-hero. This was different than the Ron Raines and Daniel Pilon Alan portrayals as a straight up villain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Joseph Posted November 8, 2022 Members Share Posted November 8, 2022 Also I read more than seemed about his Alan but another similar trade between Them is Bernau's Alan Was very Image Obsessed, Like J.R. He would do harm but would still care for what others might think 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members heffos Posted November 8, 2022 Members Share Posted November 8, 2022 True. Joseph. His Alan would never had fallen for town pariah Annie, get involved with trying to murder Jonathan and Harley, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted June 16, 2023 Members Share Posted June 16, 2023 I don't put GL Roger and Alan in the JR and copies list because GL introduced them both before the first episode of Dallas was broadcast. One CBS daytime villain that hasn't been mentioned in this thread is As the World Turns James Stenbeck. I'm not familiar with the Dobson years of As the World Turns so I don't know if he was that show's attempt to have a JR type villain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
