Who Could Have Played Bobby's Post Pam Love

I found this picture of a movie Duffy did with Pamela Sue Martin aka Fallon from Dynasty. They make a striking couple IMO. I could see her or maybe even Ana Alicia aka Melissa from Falcon Crest or Carrie Fisher as new loves for Bobby after Pam's departure. What are your thoughts and ideas?

They even had the same face early on....

Patrick apparently liked Kay Lloyd.

Bobby should have married Tracey Lawton (who is shot to death in Paris along with their non-homicidal stalker, April).

He weds Afton in the last year of oldDALLAS, infuriating Cliff (who's busy chasing Michelle and her piece of Ewing Oil).

And when nuDALLAS sets sail in 2012, Bobby and Afton are still married (with no sign of smuggy cow, Ann, anywhere tin sight).

So it's Afton for the win!! (Lucy is matron of honor).

Sela Ward could have done a good job as Bobby's new love.

Of the actresses who actually appeared on the show in later seasons, I can most easily imagine Lesley-Anne Down as the woman at Bobby's side, but her character should have had a completely different personality than the Stephanie we knew.

There were reports at the time that Pamela Sue Martin was to join Dallas as a recast Pam Ewing.
Probably just as well it didn't happen. Even as a different character, I'm not sure that a Dynasty transplant would have been the way to go.

Melissa Gilbert from LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE was considered as Bobby's wife in the NEW DALLAS. As they say in Texas "he knows she is a darn good woman, whole and all."



Melissa Gilbert as Ann 2.


There is going to be a new person soon at Ewing Oil. The yearly Oil Barons Ball is happening and Ellie (after saying her piece) calls Pam to the podium, to accept Bobby's posthumous award for oil man of the year, (a scene from season 8; DVD-9, 'The Dream Season', 1985-'86):

Pam: "There’s a lot of wisdom in what Miss Ellie has had to say here tonight. I guess that’s where Bobby got his from. It is only right that Bobby’s son should keep this award. It will forever remind him of his father’s achievements; his business expertise, his standing in the oil community. And that’s good, but maybe that’s not enough. Remembering his father’s achievement is one thing, but appreciating his heritage is quite another. And that is something that he must do. As most of you know, I had intended to sell Christopher’s share of Ewing Oil to Westar. But I’ve slowly come to realize that if I did that, I might not be doing what Bobby would have wanted. Bobby always said that Ewing Oil and the Ewing family were inseparable. Working with his family is my son’s birthright and I don’t want to take away his chance to follow in his father’s footsteps: to honor him, by emulating him; to carry the torch, so to speak; to work beside you, as Bobby had. Therefore, with apologies to those who may not understand my change of heart; I cannot, I will not, sell Christopher’s share of Ewing Oil to Westar."

There is an applause, just as Pam leaves the stage. J.R. and Mark are waiting for her.

J.R.: "Well, I’ve got to admit in front of God and everybody else that what you did tonight is going to be remembered as a wise and historic decision."

Pam: "Well, I’m surprised to hear you say that, but I’m happy to hear you say it."

J.R. lets out a chuckle or two: "Well not as happy as I am, honey. I’ll tell you what; I’ll get our lawyers together and we’ll just close this little deal."

Pam: "What deal?"

J.R.: "For Christopher’s share."

Pam: "J.R., when I said that I wasn’t selling to Wendell, I didn’t mean that I was selling to you."

J.R.'s white and grey cells are in overdrive: "What?"

Pam: "I’m not selling at all. From now on, it’s going to be you and me. I’ll see you at the office, partner."

Pam with Mark on her arm, walks away away from her brother in law.

I hadn't thought of Sela Ward, but she would have been a good choice
 
Anne Archer or Kim Delaney, Sela Ward is a good shout

he could have had Linda Carter who starred with him in Daddy

But no one would have the chemistry of early seasons Bobby and Pam

Id been happy if Bobby settled for loyal secretary Phyliss but he settled for a bland, inspid Blonde

@Laurie!

A cardboard cut out could have had as much chemistry as Sheree had with him and less forced.

:gp:so glad they went to Paris, just wish it was 3 seasons earlier!

Catherine Bach, Pam Dawber, Marilu Henner, just to consider
In "The Man Who Loved Women", there´s a scene with M. Henner with sun glasses driving a red Mercedes that always reminded me of Pam...besides this, of course:

Right choice or wrong?
