On the original Dallas we saw JR court Sue Ellen for about 20 episodes or so before they got remarried and he had lost his father so it was plausible to believe that he had changed and reevaluated his life. There was a lot of romantic build up and then they were married for half a season before it all fell apart when she found him in bed with Holly Harwood. The dramatic outfall was brilliant because of the build up. On Dallas TNT they kept building up to dramatic moments but we never got to see them properly deal with the fall out before the next plot twist came along.So IMHO John Ross and Pamela Rebecca would have needed more time to properly build them up as a power couple before tearing them down. The way it happened it was too soon. So again it was a problem with the pacing and maybe the show would have worked better if it had had more episodes/season or if they had shed some of the plot twists and stayed more focused on a couple of core plots.</blockquote>
