Dallas Couples Ray and Donna - Appreciation Thread

[Ray&Donna]

Last caps from season two (for now). In "Wheeler Dealer", Bobby and Ray are working on ranch business when a call comes that Sue Ellen is plastered at a local bar. They head out and get into a bar fight in order to rescue Sue Ellen from Mark Jennings. lol

 

[Ray&Donna]

If I remember correctly the reason he wanted to finally build his house was because of Donna?

Yes, even though they had split up (again) he decided to go ahead and finish it. What's funny is that at the end of season two he doesn't seem to have even poured a foundation, but early in season three he has a complete house. lol

Very good point about the house. It must have been one of those Tv buildings that went up over night! lol

Anyway I found Donna & Ray so cute that season before JR made them break up by filling Ray's head with non-sense.

Great pictures.

 

[Ray&Donna]

Some images from the very first episode of DALLAS, "Digger's Daughter", in which Ray was a naughty filthy boy who fooled around with his teenage niece! :eck: In Ray's very first scene, Jock is looking for Lucy who apparently can't be bothered to attend school. Ray, of course, knows exactly where she is.

Those four episodes were my favorite of season two Also, PETROCELLI is officially being released on DVD this month, so hopefully I will be able to post many, many captures from it in the new year

Great pictures.

Ray and Lucy get *ahem* busy in the hayloft. But when Bobby arrives home, their focus turns to a pair of binoculars.

 

[Karin]

You know that storyline of Ray & Lucy was great...until they changed who was Ray's father. Then it was just better left forgotten!

Great pictures.

Lucy notes that Bobby has apparently married Ray's girlfriend, Pam.









Contrary to what the show would have had us believe later, Ray was allowed in the living room at Southfork, and did interact with the Ewings.







Also, he smokes while lurking around Southfork, waiting for J.R. to emerge.

Great pictures.

 

[Ray&Donna]

J.R. wants to know how Bobby could have possibly met Pam. Then he and Ray concoct a plan to break up the union.











A rare view of Ray's quickly-vanishing dog. Someone has decided it is a good idea for Ray to show his ex-girlfriend around the ranch.









The first instance in which the writers try to pretend Ray is a helicopter pilot.

Love the photos. Digger's Daughter is one of my favorite episodes.
Also I think since David Jacobs wrote this, this is the Ray he envisoned so yes Ray was able to fly a helicopter and so was Steve Kanaly. I think that might have played a part in why he was cast for the role!

I have no idea why the writers later on dropped this part of Ray's skills and never had him in the chopper again!

I agree it's weird how the dog just disappeared. But apparently it lived at the Box Ranch and when they moved location, the dog disappeared.

Great pictures BF.

Ray Krebbs definitely seemed to be a guy who would have had a dog.

 

[Mrs Bobby James Ewing]

Ray&Donna, and Karin, I love all the screen caps the both of you posted of Mr. and. Mrs. Krebbs. I am really looking forward to Ray&Donna posting more screen caps of Susan from the TV show Petrocelli when she recieves her DVD's because I have never watched an episode of Petrocelli.

Well, I wouldn't say he never flew again. They show him in the helicopter in "Survival" and "The Dove Hunt", and as late as 1984 after Donna bought Krebbs One. They also flew to inspect a piece of land Ray had purchased in the episode "Blocked", but I can't remember if he flew or they implied someone else did.

Poor dog, he missed his chance at stardom; the porcelain dog in the living room wound up receiving all of the attention.

It probably won't be until after Christmas, weather and Internet permitting. :hello:

 

[Ray&Donna]

More from "Digger's Daughter". Ray continues to show Pam around the ranch, and then decides they need to take a walk in the freezing cold.

 

[Karin]

Thanks for the latest caps Tommie.

Thanks for pointing this out. I had forgotten about that but you are right of course.
I guess this is why I always had the impression that Ray knew how to fly a helicopter.
