Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karin" data-source="post: 61759" data-attributes="member: 57167">I've finally caught up on this story. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />So here's some constructive feedback. First of all I am surprised that Katherine got away with killing Bobby with no reprecussion. Was it because she had a young child she wasn't put in jail? Or did she buy herself out of it?Then as for JR/SE. Somehow I'd still rather have had them have a daughter than two more sons but oh well it's nice to see some more children for them. Also I am glad it was established that JR & Sue Ellen do love each other. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I don't understand how they lost Ewing Oil though, as the whole Weststar take over happened a lot later than on the show.Katherine and Jeremy Wendell married?<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />Ugh I can't picture that even if it's just for business. So maybe it would have made more sense to have her marry his son?I like Ray taking a part in Margaret's life and bonding with his daughter. It's nice to see him and Donna on the mend and Donna maintaining a career. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I'm a little disappointed we never got to see Jenna and Lucas visit Southfork and his grandma Ellie. Having Bobby's son when Bobby was gone would have been extra precious to Miss Ellie.I guess Jack being bisexual is homage to the actor who was gay...I can totally picture Cliff following in his father's footsteps if he loses everything...I liked how JR had mercy on him and sent him to Pam on a flight.I don't even remember the character you borrowed from Falcon Crest! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0208.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="lol    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />Who was he on that show?It's been ages since I've seen Falcon Crest.I like your spin-off idea for Lucy & Mitch. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Interesting idea with the oil platform blowing up, so who was behind that one?Somehow I had a feeling it was sabortage.Then finally I think your writing style is inspired by the Dallas TNT show!It's never occurred to me before as your stories are usually set in the future after that show. But well reading a story set in the past made this obvious to me. You have the same fast pacing and plot twisted focus that the TNT show had. You keep building up interesting plots but moves on before you really get into the in depth drama. You do have more interesting plots and especially kudos to you for thinking up all the business schemes with hostile take overs etc. which was sorely lacking on Dallas TNT.I also think you've been inspired by Dallas TNT and the storyline of JR's lost daughter as you keep having JR's bastards pop up all over the place in your stories. Usually fathered by Holly or Katherine, which is not a popular storyline with the JR/SE fans and therefore alienates potential readers... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />It's a shame but I just say it as I see it.Then as for the Dallas TNT show, personally a part of me is glad it was taken off the air when it was as I didn't want Christopher to be killed in that ridiculous car explosion.Then as for JR's daughter I had sort of hoped that she would have turned out to be older than John Ross, in between James and John Ross in age and that the mother would have been Julie Grey, since considering the amount of years she spent as JR's mistress before the show came on the air and that she seemed to love him, I can somehow picture her giving birth to his baby. Also I think the girl would have been put up for adoption to avoid a scandal!</blockquote>

Verification: Who played Sue Ellen in Dallas?
