Ray And Donna Were VERY Nosey.

First, they went actually traveled to find out about Edgar Randolph. Then they hound Clayton about him and his sister Jessica’s relationship as if it was any of their business.

There’s one thing in being a concerned friend, but it’s another to pry and IMO they were prying into other peoples business.

All the Dallas characters had an agenda of sorts and that probably included nosiness amongst them.

Cliff was probably the nosiest. In his constant attempts to get the better of JR.

I wouldn't say Ray and Donna were nosier than Cliff. If anything they had justification because it was motivated by concern for their friends and family. :)

I never considered JR or Cliff nosey per say. They both were very devious trying to get the better of one another and JR was better at it. IMO, being nosey is trying to get info that really don’t concern you. Everything JR and Cliff, at least when they’re butting heads, was for their own benefit.

Of course Cliff was nosey.

Look at all the times he used Mandy to get information out of JR. He even did the same with Sly, blackmailing her into spying on JR. If that's not being nosey, I don't know what is! :)

It reminds me of a great line by @James from London

"Jessica's possessiveness doesn't go unnoticed by Braddock County's answer to Hart to Hart, the Krebbses"

BAHAHAHAHAHA! I still laugh out load whenever I think of that line.

...maybe a bit off topic, but what always bothered me about The Krebb's - was their house - why Donna lived there for years and never put one iota of herself or her personality or her femininity into the decor - just didn't make sense. I can understand Donna's moving to Ray's house with him - but - to not have made the house at least 1/2 her own - that always struck me as odd.

And I get it - it's a soap - you have to be able to suspend some belief - like - how - exactly did Sue Ellen and Pam store their obviously massive wardrobes in those small Southfork closets? I've always imagined that Southfork had a finished basement and contained several walk-in-closets - where the ladies would store the bulk of their wardrobes - pulling items and putting them upstairs - as needed - and then returning them downstairs - once worn and dry cleaned.

Donna knew they were going to eventually break up even from the beginning, so she never bothered to put her stamp on the place.

My definition of nosy is poking around in something that you have absolutely no stake in. Like Samantha Stephens being a witch - even if she was, why did Mrs. Kravitz care? Only because she was nosy. By that definition, i wouldn’t call Cliff or JR nosy - whenever they were trying to find something out, it was because of some business deal or some personal relationship.

Donna and Ray fit my definition of nosy.

Actually they used the Southfork attic!

That's where both Pam & Sue Ellen disappeared to when they both left the show!

Donna Reed is up there as well! ;)

Donna was certainly one who liked to get into JR's face which always seemed silly to me like when she intruded into Ewing Oil after Bobby's shooting because she thought that JR may have done it. Now that is where stupidity comes in. If he was capable of having anyone killed and may have his brother shot, why get into his face in his company?

Remind me again how that house flooded in the middle of dry Texas?

They clearly wanted to just get rid of the set, but why not write a story where they built a new house on the same lot?
