[QUOTE="Luke_Krebbs_Ewing, post: 176563, member: 64"] I've often wondered how season ten would've played out if Patrick Duffy & Leonard Katzman had'nt have come back? The current Dallas production team of Peter Dunne, James H. Brown & Joel Feigenbaum maybe would've stayed put & not gone over to Knots Landing, If they had stayed it's highly likely Steve Forrest's Ben Stivers really would've been Jock. It's also likely that Victoria Principal might've stayed for a few more seasons. It's such a shame that whole season was erased largely because of Leonard Katzman. He didn't want anything to do with that ninth series as he'd been dropped from the show that year. He was billed as an Executive Consultant, in much the same way Gene Roddenberry was billed on the Star Trek movies after the disastrous Star Trek: The Motion Picture! Mind you when the show did return with season ten & Bobby restored to life they had an opportunity to make a really compelling season. It was for a while, that whole is Wes Parmalee Jock was a great storyline but it sadly wasn't followed through. They reneged on the storyline & dropped Steve Forrest as quickly as possible. His abrupt disappearance is jarring. JR had a reasonably good storyline with getting the price of oil up & blowing up those Asian oil fields. Bobby & Pam remarried which was great, but Jenna's behaviour saw her get together with Ray which caused a bit of a rift with Bobby for a while especially when she got pregnant with his baby. Ray & Donna spent the better part of the season in an off on, mostly off relationship. I did really like Jim McMullan's Senator Andrew Dowling, that guy was a gentleman, I can see why Donna left Ray for him! That whole BD Calhoun storyline was great culminating in the Justice Department shutting down Ewing Oil. It's then bye bye to poor Pam & the conclusion of the show. Don't get me wrong. I love Dallas season ten, it's my most watched season. I just wish Steve Forrest had stayed as Jock because that would've opened up all sorts of avenues for drama. A shame. :) [/QUOTE]
