[QUOTE="Karin, post: 281969, member: 57167"] I might be in the minority here but I began watching Dallas at the age of 11. It was season 11 (DVD) then. I could relate to Charlie, John Ross and Christopher. I also loved the younger characters like Lucy, April, Cally, James and Michelle. :) I agree that they were mismatched. But since Cathy Podewell was born in 1964 she was actually not young enough to be his granddaughter. There was a 33 year age gap. So I would say she was young enough to be his daughter. Also I didn't realize until I was in my 20s just how big the age gap between JR and Cally was. That is an excellent question. I know I would have preferred a different ending. Although JR was a bad guy, he was the guy we loved to hate, not just hated. So I know I would have preferred a happy ending. I just couldn't stand the idea of JR killing himself in the end, that was in fact the reason why my sister and I began writing on our Dallas fanfic in 1994. To fix the bad ending. But then the story took on a life of it's own as Dallas is really a never ending story. There is so much built in drama in the original characters that David Jacobs created. So if you do a character driven story it can just go on and on and on. [/QUOTE]
