Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sarah" data-source="post: 75200" data-attributes="member: 6">Pam's importance to the show is interesting as she isn't a blood Barnes - so really as she isn't Digger's real daughter, JR shouldn't have had such a problem with her... but then we wouldn't have a show!I'm not her biggest fan by any means but I do understand what you mean about the storylines afterwards [USER=33]@Angela Channing[/USER]. The storylines did deteriorate somewhat after 1987 - but I don't put that solely down to Pam. The writing went haywire in my opinion from about 1988 onwards, long after she'd gone.Following her immediate departure, I guess the most unbelievable part of Pam leaving for me was the lack of concern about her - but that was bad writing. Things that really stick out for me are Bobby's upset over April being greater than that for Pam (even though I prefer April!), his willing to let her go without a fight and then on to JR's descent into madness later down the line. The introduction of people that weren't Ewings rocking up and living at Southfork...all so silly and just plain yuck (sorry [USER=18]@Karin Schill[/USER] I am on board with Cally but we do need to have that chat about James <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> ).Again though I don't think all the storylines are as a direct result of Pam leaving or her importance to the show, which I don't believe was the question anyway.</blockquote>
