Dallas - The Original Series
If there was a continuation would you be ok if original characters played a back seat role?

[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 294061, member: 672"] A continuation is highly unlikely because only Bobby and SueEllen are left. Dallas TNT had still a solid structure in the beginning: Bobby vs. JR with their sons. You fight with your brother. No matter how tough the fights are, you're still family. You simply don't have this connection to cousins, distant cousins, half siblings etc. The history of Dallas is too complex and too distant to portray "family" drama. I get along with most of cousins which I don't regard as family, but as friends, others I just ignore/having no contact. In Dallas TNT where was a scene at JR's memorial service. A fist fight startet and Christopher told John Ross "I got this, cousin." I get the intention of the writers to emphasize the importance of family, but it did not work there, it felt forced like any continuation would. The only imaginable Dallas product for me is a reboot starting from scratch. But please set in the 80s. Dallas is a series which belongs in that Era for me. [/QUOTE]
