Thank you everyone for the feedback. I so enjoy reading all of your comments. :thank:
Honkytonkangel, yeah you are right when you say that Rebecca is her mother's daughter.
Somehow after raising JR, Gary, Bobby and Lucy I think Miss Ellie's seen most of the tricks that kids and teenagers can come up with. So even though Rebecca acted like a brat I am sure Miss Ellie can handle it!
Anyway the scene with the photo album did fill a function in this story which will be obvious if you read the follow up scene with Bobby, Rebecca and Ray.
Presea, great theory about why Pam hasn't broken up with Richard. It would make a lot of sense too given her history with Mark. But no that's not it!
Oh yeah Rebecca and Lucas first meeting. Of course it's coming eventually...and I think it will be worth the wait...
I think Afton loves Mario because he is handsome, young, successful, rich and he can give her the kind of lifestyle that she's always dreamt of having. He wants to marry her despite the fact that she has a daughter since before. He loves her. It doesn't make a lot of sense. But yeah Afton and Mario are in love.
Please, write more Katherine stuff soon! I know that you said that she has been put on the backburner, but is there a particular reason for that? Is she just hard for you to write, or do other things in the story have to happen first to get her story rolling?
Well her plot does tie into some stuff that happens later on in this story. The ball is set in motion but I agree that it's moving very slowly right now. All I can say is that her plot is kind of like when you push a snowball down a hill. At first it rolls really slowly and is really small but later it rolls really fast and is getting bigger and bigger.
No I don't think Katherine is hard to write at all and we have in fact added a bunch of new Katherine scenes that were not in the first draft. So there is more of Katherine in this story now than it was originally since we really do love the character.
Sanda, I think you missed the point of Bobby and Rebecca's talk. Yes Rebecca was upset with Bobby but their talk also helped Bobby realize something that will make it easier on him to forgive Pam for keeping Richard a secret from him. So Bobby has no reason to ground Rebecca for making him see things more clearly.
Also I think if a child is angry it's better that she or he is able to articulate that and talk about why she or he feels that way with their parents rather than to be quiet and keep it all bottled up inside. So communication is important and Rebecca shouldn't be punished for speaking her mind IMHO.
Ms Southworth, thank you, I'm glad that you loved the latest scene with Rebecca and Bobby.
It's good that Bobby came across as a great dad in this scene. I think for the most part on the show he was great with Christopher too.
Oh yeah Rebecca has unknowingly been able to help her parents move past their argument about Richard. Kind of ironic if you think of it since she was the one who brought it all out by calling Richard in the first place.
Good that you think I write the children in a believable way.
LOL ... ... You've been saying just that since episode 1!
Can you at least share with us in which episode (#) the long awaited showdown at Southfork will take place?
Episode 12.
The reason it won't happen until then is because some other things have to happen first...
Okay so now it's time for tonight's
update:
At Southfork, Ray walked into the living room where Margaret and Miss Ellie were still sitting looking at old photos. Margaret looked up and smiled, “Hi daddy!”
“Oh hello Ray, lunch should be ready soon,” Miss Ellie said.
“Good, would you mind if I had a little talk with my daughter alone?”
“Of course not, I’ll go check on lunch,” Miss Ellie got up.
“Thanks for showing me the photos grandma, I had a great time!”
“Me too sweetie,” Miss Ellie said before she left the room.
“So what did you want to talk to me about daddy?” Margaret asked.
“Um…I’d better sit down,” Ray said and sat down next to Margaret on the sofa.He then wiped his forehead from the sweat as he was uncomfortable and was looking for a place to start.
Picking up on it Margaret asked worriedly, “Dad, is something wrong?”
“No, I just thought you might want to talk to me,” Ray said.
“What about?” Margaret looked at her father with big questioning blue eyes.
“Well Bobby and I saw Rebecca at the stables and she was very upset and asking all sorts of questions about Jenna.”
“Oh I’ll see, is she ok?”
“Yeah, she’s talking to Bobby. But she had a lot of questions so I figured you might have them too, since we’ve never really talked about Jenna!”
“Okay, so you want to talk about Jenna?”
“Yes,” Ray nodded. “Is there anything you want to know about her?”
“Well, I know she’s your wife and that you’re separated. So are you gonna divorce her?”
Ray sighed, “I don’t know sweetie.”
“So does that mean you’re moving back to Europe to live with her?”
“No, that is one thing I do know. I will
not move back to Italy. So if she wants to stay there. I guess I’ll have to divorce her!”
“And what if she doesn’t wanna stay there?” Margaret asked. “I mean she’s American too, right?”
“Yes, but she loves Italy. I don’t!”
“Why not?” Margaret asked. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?”
“Yes but it’s not Southfork and this is home to me!”
“So you’ll be staying here at Southfork then?”
“I think so,” Ray smiled.
“Great, then it’s closer to go visit you after we go back home to Washington!” Margaret said and Rays smile faded away at the prospect of losing his daughter again.
Family bonding at its very best! 
10 out of 10 points! 
I love this fanfic! 
And I love the 10th episode out of 100!!! :loveit:
I need an update NOW! 
. Then, she shows sincere concern for Rebecca's well-being! 
If Margaret does go back to Washington with Donna, it will slowly "kill" him inside ... ... just like it will "kill" him, if Lucas goes back to Italy with Jenna!
