[QUOTE="Rove, post: 141921, member: 100"] Using this logic Willie we could question why Lorimar Dallas often used the [B][U]history[/U][/B] of bad blood between the Ewing and Barnes families. It's the backbones which is required to push the story further along. Imagine if Lorimar Dallas had started with Bobby bringing home his new bride only for the Ewing family to hit the pause button, but nothing was offered why they took such offence to Bobby marrying a Barnes. I think most viewers would be curious what is the history behind this family. Now look at it another way. Cynthia and her team created some bizarre back story about Miss Ellie being in a mental (correct me if I'm wrong) institution to justify their plot involving Southfork. Most avid Dallas fans immediately picked up this continuation error and criticized TNT Dallas accordingly. Of course the newbies wouldn't know but those most loyal to Dallas do. So the scene between Sue Ellen and Emma is a great example of using history to justify Sue Ellen in teaching Emma what happens when you tango with drugs and soon to be married men. In effect Sue Ellen was trying to both protect her son and help Emma by using her dead sister as an example. Sue Ellen's sense of humour in her delivery was in response to Emma's bitchy remarks. Also Sue Ellen was fond of Ann so was possibly trying her best to keep the situation light rather than both ending up in the Southfork swimming pool. [/QUOTE]
