[QUOTE="Rove, post: 284295, member: 100"] Bobby's death is exactly what Dallas needed to inject some new life into the series. After several highly successful years the death of a major character in any series can create new dramas which characters can feed off for a few more years. Just look at what occurred after the death of Jim Davis and the way the writers used his character to set Dallas on a path of great viewing. Patrick made the mistake in telling the writers to kill off Bobby. Patrick wasn't returning. He thought his career was suited for something else. No one can blame him for wanting to try new things. I'm assuming actors wish to expand their resume in fear of being typecast but I never saw Bobby as being one dimensional. As an actor I would have thought Patrick was pleased the way Bobby was evolving but clearly he still thought there were greener pastures. So Patrick said I'm done with Dallas. The writers decided to kill the character off. So the scene was set. I had high expectations of what was to follow and the writers didn't disappoint. The reveal of Bobby's Will was brilliant. Let's not have Miss Ellie, Clayton or Donna take control of Bobby's stake in Ewing Oil...let's put Pam right in the thick of it. No way was JR going to settle for that. There was no need for Jack, Angelica Nero or Pam looking for gems - or whatever the hell that was. The story was right there, the drama just waiting to be written was there. That [I]Barnes [/I]woman was in the hen house and how was the fox (JR) going to [B]GET HER OUT[/B]. This season could have been explosive. A knock-down, dirty war between the Ewing and Barnes family...and to top it off we had the rightful Miss Ellie back. Oh how this season could have taken Dallas to a different level of excitement. But the older bro' was missing his younger bro'. Never mind how it was going to be done, just get it done. [/QUOTE]
