What are we supposed to do with this thread? Heck I don't know, maybe just tell a shift or change you would have liked have seen from the way the show actually turned out.
Can I start? This may be more extreme than expected but...
So Sue Ellen had scenes with Dr. Elbee for much of season 3. What if instead the cleaner Dr. Elbee look in season 4 and him fading away, he became a regular guest start and actually grew his hair even longer, ordered a lot of pizzas and started drinking during his sessions with Sue Ellen which made Sue Ellen realize what a mess she had become prompting her to get out of that hell hole forever, so she did!
The rest of the Dallas family however was in such a mess fighting, bickering and haggling back and forth that they all started seeing Dr. Elbee as a group. In fact they invited him to Southfork to their drinking room to haggle out their anger on each other every afternoon. So for the next 10 seasons, Dallas becomes about the dark, drinking therapy sessions but with different angles lighting and fashionable clothing to keep it interesting. The show would toggle back every now and then to Sue Ellen who rose up and took charge over Ewing Oil, building an commanding Empire that eventually fought to purchase all the oil production competition world wide! She alone controlled every nation's economy on the Planet, while her family and the big hairball Dr. Elbee struggled to figure out just what went wrong?? ! In the last episode, Sue Ellen purchases the entire Milky Way and even her corrupt drunken family and Dr. Elbee who died three shows ago but was still in his chair comes back to life to toast Sue Ellen (who by then upgraded to a BMW station wagon).
Ok, that one was out there, but here is another version not related to the above version.
When Jock dies, just write it in the script that he had a heart attack or something considering he had that problem earlier on in an episode, then move on.
Instead of Bobby dying, the writers put him in a coma to buy more time and give them more options. I don't remember much of the show past that point since I only saw the original run back in the 80s.... but I do remember the ending sucked. Here is my ending: JR has a major victory which makes him feel like the king of the world and during his celebration he has a massive coronary and dies grasping at all the wealth and power that just sprouted wings and was flying away from him.
Alright ... go ahead and let's hear some plot shifts of your own.
