Not enough children

[stevew]

I would have liked for JR and Sue Ellen to have had a daughter after John Ross I agree with Christopher and John Ross fighting over a card game. That was silly.

To me that would have been a key point in the first reunion movie, Sue Ellen left Dallas when she did because she was pregnant - raising Eleanor Patricia Lockwood with Don in England - turns out she’s JR’s daughter.

I think Sue Ellen was a little long in the tooth by the time she moved to England.

Well there's a subject the writers could have tackled...a menopausal Sue Ellen.

That would have been a great storyline.

That would have been a great storyline.

Imagine a female JR Ewing, third generation, raised in Europe among nobility.

I can certainly see Sue Ellen naming her daughter after her mom and after Ellie. Shame the writers did not give her a daughter on the show.

I can't see Sue Ellen returning to Dallas and keeping it a secret all this time.

No more secret children. That’s the type of plot that’s worthy of a cheezy daytime soap opera. You can get away with it once (Ray). Not multiple times.

I agree. I can see her staying in London but once the reunion movie happened it would have needed to come out if they were to include Sue Ellen.

I disagree. If don’t correctly. People as wealthy as have Ewing’s are known for such in real life. H. L. Hunt, who LH based JR on, had two secret families, each with multiple children. For middle class America yes cheese, but for this level of wealth, if done right, totally believable.

Watching JR relate to a daughter would have been interesting.

Yeah it would've.

I suspect that a daughter would have JR wrapped round her little finger.

A shame we never got to find that out on screen.
