If Barbara Bel had health problems and requested a decrease in her work load then do everything to accommodate that request. After all, this was the only actor from Dallas to win an Emmy Award. Donna Reed may have been an Academy and Golden Globe Award winner but putting her in a position of taking over an already established character embedded in the minds of millions around the world was dumb.</blockquote>
