[QUOTE="Toni, post: 342729, member: 82"] April did a lot of things that were against the Ewings´ interests (eg taking 50 millions from their Ewing Oil cash!) so if the Katzmen had decided to get Bobby and Holly together, he would have done it anyway. That´s why the latter years don´t work: there are a lot of anti-organic, contrived plot twists (the Dream Solution for a start) that have nothing to do with the show´s original dynamics and sink it more and more every year. Re-casting Pam would have been even worse, no matter how good (or not) MM could have been. As everybody has said here, Donna Reed´s fiasco was the proof why that kind of re-castings just don´t work. MM was not bad as Jeanne O´Brien, actually she used more VP mannerisms with her than with FakePam. But that would have been doomed since the beginning. In hindsight, the behind-the-scenes events hurt the show too badly and it was a miracle that it lasted 6 more years after Ms. Reed´s season.
