[QUOTE="Rove, post: 29621, member: 100"] Correct. By the time "Swan Song" had screened Patrick had openly informed the producers he had had enough. Even Patrick is quoted as saying he only had to read part of the script because he knew what Bobby would say next. He was obviously bored with the character and wanted to see what was on the other side of the fence. That's understandable since most actors like to be challenged. Yes she was. And who do we have to blame for this? JR and Cliff. JR from that opening episode "Diggers Daughter" was determined to get rid of that "Barnes woman" at any cost. JR thought he could scare Pam off however it had the opposite effect, making her stronger as she battled with the Ewing family and their constant attacks against Cliff. He however was no innocent party in this. As the seasons progressed and the characters became more organic the natural flow of the story was leading into the scenario of JR vs. Pam. Patrick's announcement to the producers he was not renewing his contract was just the shot in the arm Dallas needed to propel it into phase 2. I'm not sure how much notice Victoria gave to the producers of her intentions of leaving before her last appearance in "Fall of the House of Ewing" in May, 1987. Despite cash falling from the heavens at Victoria's feet (potentially making her the highest paid actress on American television) it was not enough to retain her services. Watching my beloved program lurching from one disaster to another, beginning with the Donna Reed debacle, the addition of Jenilee Harrison, a whole season castrated because a previous producer (Leonard Katzman) thought it was crap, really tested my patience and many others. Again your remarks on this are spot on. Pam and other characters body clocks had all been re-set. I'd imagine most viewers where interested how the producers and writers were going to get Bobby back. Come September, 1987 when "After The Fall/Ewing Rise" episode aired Leonard Katzman (now promoted to Executive Producer) may as well had us all stand in a cold shower after that episode went to air. Instead of it having the desired effect and resurrecting Dallas to its rightful place, their stroke of genius was a stroke of madness. [/QUOTE]
