[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 75964, member: 57984"] I think "liked" and "respected" or "respected because we know we're all part of the most successful drama series in TV history globally" are different things. David Jacobs said Victoria "didn't have the best relationship" with the DALLAS brass, and lamented that this probably had a role in the lousy way Pam was written out in the script. Victoria's reputation has always ranged from "smart" and "strong" to "wildly neurotic" and "brittle". And the fact is, she's probably all of those things. Some years ago, a number of the female posters on here were asserting that she and Linda Gray were obviously mad at each other during the 2004 retrospective RETURN TO SOUTHFORK, and thought: "[I]Oh, those silly women -- they were not[/I]," in just the way Cliff or J.R. might dismiss the observations of Afton... Until I watched it again and realized, "Oh, my God, they're right -- Linda and Victoria are [B]totally [/B]pissed at each other!" Victoria is a very complicated personality. Not every insult is necessarily true, but she can't just be praised 24/7 either in order for the commentary to be accurate. They call it "show business" for a reason. [/QUOTE]
