[QUOTE="Rove, post: 47916, member: 100"] I had issues with Lucy the character from the get go. It didn't help that Charlene's acting was sub-standard compared to the others. Perhaps it was her age. Wasn't she just 17 when filming commenced in that first 5 part series? It also didn't help the writers paired her off with Ray who was already going grey. I'm surprised, looking back, that more viewers were not offended. To me it came off just as creepy when JR finally nails himself a child bride (Cally) several seasons later. I only warmed to Lucy with her involvement with Mickey. The director finally toned down her over-acting each scene. Since viewing Dallas for the umpteenth time I still find it puzzling why she was raised at Southfork. When Dallas first screened and Valene makes her first appearance I had this gut feeling JR might have been Lucy's father since Valene was terrified of him. This would have justified her existence. When Knot's Landing was given the green light it would have been best to let Lucy migrate to California and be done with it. I think her personality would have suited Los Angeles anyway. [/QUOTE]
