[QUOTE="Laurie!, post: 232385, member: 2210"] Miss Ellie, albeit a loved character, really wasn't an important one after the 1st season. The story and all things central to DALLAS could go on just fine with only her legacy; just like Jock. Sue Ellen was entertaining to many but also wasn't vital to the foundation of the show like Pam was. Without Pam, the show was left to create another feuding family (McKay's) and tried to put a new love interest of Bobby in the middle but it was a dud in comparison to the Barnes vs Ewing feud with Pam sandwiched between. It also left the brilliant character of Cliff floundering around in limbo. So it was a disjointed mess....especially when the Steven's sisters and the hillbilly Cally storyline came about. Suddenly it was just a daytime quality soap. As for Pam's exit...she should have just died in a tragic Romeo and Juliet manner. Tragedy...end of story. There was no way, Victoria would have come back after the powers that were, dumped the dream scenario on her character instead of Patrick's, weakened Pam and the Lorimar people, being petty...taking away her parking space, etc. I also hate the constant insinuations that Victoria turned her back on the show. She just retired from it and moved on...still speaks very fondly of her time on the show and her co-stars. [/QUOTE]
