Outrageous Storylines That Could Have Worked

[Ray_Krebbs]

What are some out there storylines that could have seen working? Mine is: The Ewings go to Las Vegas for Pam and Bobby's remarriage at a chapel (they decided not to test the SF wedding jinx the second time around). After a night of heavy drinking, J.R. and Pam wake up next to each other and find a marriage certificate to each other after realizing they did the deed, too. Pam is embarrassed and infuriated, wanting a quick annulment before anyone finds out. J.R. uses this to his advantage. Let's say at this point, he and Sue Ellen have divorced earlier than they did to make it legal. Also, let's say Barnes-Wentworth owns a large stake of Westar stock and voting rights through Pam. He says he'll blab the whole thing and refuses out of the marriage unless she signs her shares of both Barnes-Wentworth and her stake in Westar

Well obviously having Donna Reed as Wes Parmalee/Jock although that might be a bit difficult as Donna had probably passed away when this storyline was being filmed.

Lucy, tired of her job at the Hot Biscuit, secretly starts a phone sex business using the Southfork telephones. Teresa helps in her spare time. Hilarity ensues when Miss Ellie accidentally picks up the wrong line.

I've said before that David Jacobs' idea (when the DALLAS theatrical movie concept was being tossed around) of Miss Ellie having her own talk show was inspired, and should have occurred in Season 13 (per DVD count). She and JR appear together in the fall of 1989 on The Roy Ralston Show to generate good PR for the company and the family in the wake of the Ewing-Valdez tanker disaster. Mama is such a hit that once Ralston's show goes national, the local station offers Ellie her own daily show which, with encouragement from JR, she accepts. It's a solid success, until Ellie shifts from recipes, gentle humor and downhome wisdom to liberal, environmental politics which horrifies JR, the cartel and the entire Texas oil community -- such that JR has got to find a way not only to shut Miss Ellie's show down, but also convince the public that she's ill and doesn't know what she's saying.

Which could land her, inadvertently, in the hospital with a seizure whereupon, believing she's dying, she whispers something into Clayton's ear -- something he doesn't reveal for another episode or two while drunk in the living-room, that JR may be the offspring of Digger Barnes and not Jock, making JR half-brother to Pam and Cliff... Yes, DNA tests can prove a year later that JR is indeed a Ewing, but not after a year of carnage he unleashes because he now thinks he's a Barnes.

Lady Jessica's murder spree should last much of Season 13 (per DVD count) and played completely straight, like a horror movie, with an axe the preferred weapon. And she's killing cartel members whom she'd blackmailed for decades over their alleged parentage of Dusty.

In the final season or two of the original show, Bobby's and Cliff's search for Pam leads to a suspicion, not fully substantiated, that she may be dead and have died of cancer as the result of adult-onset neurofibromatosis, proving she probably was a Barnes after all.

And I want April to die in Paris as Bobby's stalker after he marries Tracey Lawton McKay who also dies in Paris. Freeing him up to date and marry Afton -- which drives Cliff, busy chasing Michelle and her piece of Ewing Oil, absolutely insane!

You missed off the bit where Clayton finally tracks down Wes Parmalee.

However when he does he discovers Miss Ellie in bed with him.

Clayton has a heart attack as Ellie tells him that Wes can satisfy her more than he can!

As he dies a distraught Ellie cries as Wes hugs her tightly.

"Oh Ellie," Wes says. "I am Takapa!"

Ellie rolls her eyes! "Shut up Jock and just kiss me!"

He kisses her and telephones for an ambulance for Clayton.

"I love you Ellie. I'm not a fraud and I have you back!"

Ellie nods and jumps into bed with Wes. "I know that now that I've seen that birthmark on your bum!"

I like these. Karen on Knots Landing had her talk show during the 89 to 90 season. Perhaps Miss Ellie could have crossed over, she and Karen hit it off, and she becomes the co-host. They get signed by NBC and become like Kathie Lee and Hoda lol.

You are going to hell.

Had Kristen lived, I would’ve loved her and Katherine co-writing a book together many years later. They could’ve called it “A Guide to Dealing With the Rejection of Your Sisters’ Husbands and How to Get Even.”

Kristin wrote another book you know.

It's called How to be a Whore & be good at it!!

Perhaps they could have gone to shooting ranges together for target practice.

With a foreword by Serena.

With a foreword by Serena.

How did you know that? You've got a copy haven't you!?!

 

[DallasFanForever]

Now that would’ve been a fun little scene!

 

[Luke_Krebbs_Ewing]

Now that would’ve been a fun little scene!

Could've made it into a TV spin off in the style of Cagney & Lacey.

Was that the 89/90 year? I haven't seen it in so long...

Ray and Jenna moves to Montana (great ranching), instead of Switzerland and Ray establish his own ranch. Possible spin-off could be called Montana.

 

[Luke_Krebbs_Ewing]

Well I still think Donna Reed as Wes Parmalee could've worked.

Following the months of plastic surgery and recuperation Wes could've had a sex change.

She could've come to Southfork as a new maid and Ellie could still have found the letters, belt buckle and knife.

When Ellie finds them Wes could still say "They're mine Miss Ellie, always have been!"

When Ellie questions Wes about the sex change Wes says "I wanted boobs the same as yours. These are Southworth boobs!"

Ellie gasps in shock. Wes is clearly Jock Ewing all along.

That makes far more sense than Ray and Jenna in Europe -- Jenna alone, of course, but why would insecure-cowboy want to live on The Continent when his first wife, Donna, was pushed away for being too sophisticated (and that only took her to Washington).

Oh, I don’t know. I think “Swiss Family Krebbs” could have worked, with Ray and Jenna sampling fondue, learning how to yodel, and running a cuckoo clock company (Krebbs‘ Kuckoo Klocks).

Oh, I don’t know. I think “Swiss Family Krebbs” could have worked, with Ray and Jenna sampling fondue, learning how to yodel, and running a cuckoo clock company (Krebbs‘ Kuckoo Klocks).

Jenna can also cook her specialty in the little cafe that she runs at Krebbs Kuckoo Klocks. She bakes her special chocolate swiss roll with added cannabis resin. People come from miles away to go up the hill where the shop is. They love her chocolate swiss roll as it makes them feel good. Her home made chicken & broccoli bake is tasty too as she puts cannabis powder in it to flavour it as well! But the icing on the cake is her fruit loaf, as there's cocaine in it!!

Is it any wonder both Jenna and Charlie both died in a skiing accident. I think both of them dined on the food served in the cafe.
