Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guzzler’s Frightening Hair" data-source="post: 441025" data-attributes="member: 2740">they introduced/shoehorned Amanda Ewing and Hutch McKinney into the backstory, but in that case a main character was actively hiding that info from the other characters and revealed it to them (and us) in dramatic scenes.With Jason it was just.. not a word for 7 years, and then “oh of course, you must be Jason’s daughter, ol’ Tumbleweed himself!” — everyone had known about Jason all along but just never bothered to mention him.  I’d say there wasn’t occasion to mention him, but we’d heard about Jock and Digger and their feud enough times and from enough sources that it’s weird that Jason wouldn’t have come up.If it had led to big-payoff storylines, that would have been one thing, but… the “replacement hot girl” from Three’s Company and the Taj Mahal of Nervous Chuckles (who mysteriously was never allowed to even kiss his “love interests”), neither of whom amounted to much of anything dramatically.. (well, Jamie dying 3 or 4 times was kind of interesting)I guess the whole thing ultimately gave us “Cliff with a chunk of Ewing Oil” and Jack’s ex April?</blockquote>
