Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karin" data-source="post: 206043" data-attributes="member: 57167">I was 12 or 13 the first time I watched the episode when April was killed. I watched the show with my parents and I was worried when April got kidnapped. I was literally on tenterhooks watching that. My parents weren't bothered at all, they were so sure that Bobby would be the hero and rescue her. They sure were surprised when April was killed as they hadn't seen it coming at all. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />mg:I was so pissed off since April was one of my favorite characters. I loved Bobby and April together. I think I wrote in my diary that evening that "Dallas was stupid" or something to that effect. Watching it also made me not wanting to go to Paris for many years to come. I didn't visit the city until some 7 years later in 2000.Then as for killing off April to leave Bobby free for Pam if she returned. I think that idea makes sense since the show began with Bobby and Pam so it would have come full circle if it had ended with that. But they should have made sure that VP was actually on board with coming back for the end before they did that. I think a lot of fans wanted Bobby and Pam to end up together so if the show had ended that way it would have been a satisfactory ending. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ksmile/babe/k0512.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":gotcha:" title="Gotcha    :gotcha:" data-shortname=":gotcha:" />But since they killed April and Pam didn't come back it felt like they did it all for nothing. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite4" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":mad:" />In fact out of all the big four prime time dramas, Dallas, Knots Landing, Dynasty and Falcon Crest I think Dallas had the worst ending. It could have been a great ending if they had wrapped it up with JR Returns and Pam had returned for that one. But they didn't.Also when the show came back it would have been better to have Bobby and April married with two kids and Christopher at the beginning. It would have given the new show a richer set up. Sheree J Wilson sure regretted asking for April to be killed off when Dallas came back. :mo:Finally I talked to one of my teachers in junior High about Dallas and he told me that he had given up on the show when April had been killed off and then started to return (in the dream sequences) like Bobby had returned before. That proved too much for that loyal viewer and he tuned out. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
