[QUOTE="Mustard, post: 48374, member: 46"] I always liked Lucy. The spoilt rich girl with a good heart who has her daddy's knack of understanding J.R.'s calculating deviousness. It makes perfect sense when you understand what J.R. did to take Lucy away from Val, and J.R.'s response when Val tried to take legal action to get Lucy back. J.R. said that he'd kill Val if she ever returned to the state of Texas. Therefore, he is simply not going to tolerate Val hanging around Southfork. In fact, J.R. in his own mind thinks he's been way too soft on Val already, since she's still alive. Knots Landing gives a more rounded picture on it. Not only this, but J.R. feared Gary's potential to ruin his (J.R.'s) business plans. Gary was way too complex, deep-thinking, different and left-wing for J.R.'s liking. Therefore, J.R. is determined to keep Gary's morale down, or get him well away from Texas. J.R. also hated it when a 17 year old Gary (J.R. would have been a 25-26 year old bachelor at this time) brought a 15 year old pregnant wife to live with him at Southfork. Not only that, but Val is from a pretty poor Tennessee background, a long way from the Ewing Oil riches. Jock took to Valene apparently, but was even harsher still on Gary and demanded that he improve himself to face the responsibilities of marriage and fatherhood. Gary eventually cracked with J.R. constantly on his case. I've always said that Gary is J.R.'s true opposite, rather than Bobby. Bobby is against J.R. on the kind of terms that Jock laid down years earlier. Gary is on a different wavelength completely, thinking completely outside the box to his family members. Gary unnerves J.R. greatly, whereas J.R. partly enjoys Bobby's opposition to him. Of course, you have to see Knots Landing to understand the whole picture regarding Gary. [/QUOTE]
