Did Miss Ellie ever mention Gary's marriage to Abby?

[RandallAdams]

Were there any Abby references on Dallas at all? I imagine Miss Ellie would have felt a great deal of concern that her favourite son had been worked over by the scheming blonde temptress.

 

[Billy Wall]

I don't think so.

Was this after the dream season? Because if it was, Knots Landing and Dallas really didn't reference each other after that. Knots didn't at all. Dallas might have brought up Gary's name once or twice.

No, this was around the time of Jock's death and will.

I don't remember any references at all to Abby on Dallas.

Abby was there in Dallas when Gary went for the reading of Jock's will, but she didn't go into Southfork. Val was also in Dallas, signing copies of her book "Capricorn Crude". Miss Ellie didn't mention Abby on screen.

It was on 29 October 1982 when both the Dallas episode "Jock's Will" and the Knots Landing episode "New Beginnings" were broadcast on CBS in the USA in succession. J.R. was in both episodes, as was Bobby and Christopher briefly.

So Miss Ellie's reaction to what was going on in Gary's life all played out off-screen!!!

That's about it, for the most part

Miss Ellie spoke to Abby on the phone on KL, but we only saw Abby's end of it. Miss Ellie never mentioned Abby, Bobby or Betsy.

 

[Snarky Oracle!]

"That bleach-blonde hussy is a slut!"

"That bleach-blonde hussy is a slut!"

Something like that! KL should have hired BBG as a recurring character to comment on Gary and Val's lives over the phone. She would have gotten a double paycheck.

Who was Gary with at the time of Bobby's funeral? They really should've been there together. At the time it was real and seemed odd that poor Gary had no one with him.

I always felt sorry for him at the funeral and where he was "placed", actually I found it all rather strange where everyone was placed there, maybe that's just me.

Who was Gary with at the time of Bobby's funeral?

Abby. Abby was there on Knots Landing when Gary got the news about Bobby's death. Abby had lost her brother Sid Fairgate a few years earlier. The thing is, Abby and Greg Sumner took advantage of Gary going to Dallas for Bobby's funeral to gain politically at Empire Valley. Empire Valley was a big surveillance system in reality, which was pushed through harder when Gary was distracted and away in Dallas. Gary would have massively objected to what Empire Valley was in reality, and he later blew it up when he found out, to Abby's shock and Greg's fury. At one point, Greg had downgraded Gary's credit rating using the cloak and dagger system at Empire Valley, causing inconvenience for Gary, even though nobody could explain why his credit rating had been downgraded.

Abby and Karen talked about Bobby's death. Karen remembered Bobby's visits fondly. It was a poignant scene.

I watched Dallas first and Knots Landing later on and when I first began watching Knots I was surprised that Gary and Val split up since on Dallas you never found out that they did. So no they never mentioned Abby at all.
But I agree that Abby should have gone with Gary to support him at Bobby's funeral.
