[QUOTE="CeeCee72, post: 335703, member: 5055"] We saw her infrequently, but we saw over the course of the entire show. For all of JR's affairs, she was the only woman (other than Sue Ellen of course) that JR ever went "back for seconds" with. Even with Mandy, once he was finally done with her, he was just done. You could grant an exception to that rule to Vanessa, but he never bothered to find her or reach out to her. She just showed up in his life by happenstance. So why Serena? Is it because she was able to provide him with a sexual outlet with no emotional baggage? Or was it because he had some kind soft spot for her? After the Peter Richards affair, we saw him move heaven and earth to get Sue Ellen back. We saw him do everything he could to keep her happy (including hiring Jamie at Ewing Oil against his will), yet he still risked his relationship with his wife for an afternoon tryst with Serena. Was it because he was just bored playing the part of the faithful husband? Or was there more to it than that? And why didn't the writers explore that relationship more after he and Sue Ellen split for good? I am a diehard JR/SE shipper, but there is something about Serena that always made me want to know more. [/QUOTE]
