[QUOTE="Rove, post: 48211, member: 100"] My thoughts exactly and I believe I may have spoken about this very issue in another thread. JR had no interest in Lucy and found her tiresome. Just the mention of Gary or Valene made JR dry-reach so why keep Lucy around? She could easily have been packed off to L.A., to live with her parents and made the odd visit to Dallas to visit Miss Ellie and partake in any business affairs involving Ewing Oil since she had 10 voting shares. It didn't make any sense to have Lucy in Dallas from the beginning if there wasn't a significant back-story just waiting to be uncovered as the series progresses. Valene was terrified of JR. I would suggest a story along the lines of Valene and Gary dating however JR had a secret crush on her. At one of the Ewing Bar-b-ques JR has too much to drink and rapes Valene, with the end result she falls pregnant. Valene flees Dallas and Gary only to return just prior to JR marrying Sue Ellen. Valene arranges a secret meeting involving JR and Gary and begins to inform them why she fled however before Gary hears the whole sordid story he storms out not knowing that JR had in fact raped Valene. Gary goes back to Southfork, packs a suitcase and bolts, never to be seen again until Bobby bumps into him years later. Valene tells JR he is the father of Lucy. JR believes Valene is going to blackmail him since she arrives the day before the wedding. Valene responds by saying she has returned to make things right and that Lucy should know her father. JR is not having any of it since he thinks it will cast him in a dark light with Jock and Miss Ellie and jeopardize his relationship with Sue Ellen. The day after the wedding JR has his men track down Valene and Lucy. He arrives and hands over $10,000 and takes Lucy back to Southfork with a thinly veiled story of Valene no longer wanting the daughter and that she should be raised by the Ewing family since she was Gary's daughter. This kind of story would have explained why Lucy was raised by Jock and Miss Ellie and would have created drama at some point. [/QUOTE]
