[QUOTE="Rove, post: 5745, member: 100"] Larry's influence began after the season ending "Who Shot J.R.?," episode. Other posters will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Larry was in Europe holding out for more money when the return season was about to commence. I will need to return to my beloved DVD's but I'm sure the first scenes we see of a wounded J.R., it's a body double - not Larry. Characters can become so polarizing to the viewers that it puts the actors portraying them in a strong position to command higher wages, but at what cost to the overall series. The character of J.R., was only as strong as long as Miss Ellie, Bobby, Pam, Sue Ellen, Ray, Donna and Cliff were there for J.R., to bounce off. Once these characters began to disappear J.R., really had nothing to fight for or against. His character became weakened because of this. My feeling is the producers were too paranoid to reign in Larry, in fear he may walk. [/QUOTE]
