Are there any characters who were referred to but never seen you'd have liked to see? Perhaps Randolph Scott could have appeared in early episodes as a dying Aaron Southworth. His death could have led to a probate case between his children and grandchildren over his will and ownership of Southfork

Thumbs up on Lucas Wade. And Ellie was only in her late 50s when the show started (going by the actress’ age), so it’s possible one or both of her parents could have been alive.

For a minute I thought the title of this thread was “Characters You Wanted to See Beheaded.” Which of course would be a much different thread.

Wasn't Katherine's father dead before she was on the show?
I have a feeling there's a joke you're making, but I'm missing it

Good point. I would have loved to have seen someone with the calibre of Katherine Hepburn play Barbara Southworth. A good time for her introduction would have seen Barbara arrive at Southfork just after Bobby had been shot and Miss Ellie was away recuperating. This way the role of Miss Ellie would never have been re-cast. With exceptional writing it would have been a hoot to watch the likes of Barbara (Katherine Hepburn) square up against the likes of JR (Larry), putting Sue Ellen in her place and casting a disapproval look upon Ray Krebbs.

I'm not suggesting stunt casting but a solid full season story-arc culminating in the return of Miss Ellie (Barbara Bel Geddes) telling her mother she is back. A good episode watching the likes of Barbara Bel and Katherine going toe to toe would have been awesome theatre. Oh, how I can dream.
