[QUOTE="Rove, post: 62581, member: 100"] Rebecca's strength I thought is exactly what the story required. I'll admit she would not have received the mother of the year award for leaving Cliff and Pam with their drunken father and others have blasted her actions but we have to remember Rebecca was discovered by a determined Pam. Rebecca's initial reaction was to boldly tell Pam she has the wrong person. But whether it was guilt or Pam's determination Rebecca rolled into Dallas and gave it the jolt required. On a recent re-watching of Lorimar Dallas the thing I noticed when Rebecca was introduced was how old Ken Kercheval appeared alongside Priscilla Pointer. Perhaps he could have done with a rinse in his hair to give him a slightly more youthful appearance. In some scenes it was hard to accept Priscilla was the mother of Cliff. Strange considering the age difference between Barbara Bel and Larry Hagman was only 9 years yet we readily accepted her portrayal as J.R.'s mother more easily. Anyway, I liked Rebecca's inclusion as well. The writers could easily have built a strong foundation around Rebecca which included her children of Cliff, Pam and Katherine. After Cliff's suicide attempt I desperately wanted the writers to have him re-evaluate his constant fight with the Ewing family and actually get down on knee and ask Afton to marry him. By this point he should have been settling and considering children - that seems a natural progression. We could still have had the separation of Bobby and Pam due to J.R. and Katherine's interference. Katherine attempting to hide her schemes from Rebecca would have added an extra twist. But killing off Rebecca didn't quite have the desired effect in my opinion. It may have pushed the story along but for once I liked how the Ewing family were on the back foot and the story focused on a more stable and strong Barnes family. [/QUOTE]
