[QUOTE="CeeCee72, post: 311425, member: 5055"] Dallas was successful because it had so many characters we cared for and such strong actors in those roles. We cared about Donna and Pam. I realize producers had no control over VP's decision to leave, but they way they wrote her off was a slap in the face. Then they dumped Donna and shoved Jenna down our throats with Ray. I mean nothing against PBP, but of ONE of those characters had to go, it should have been Jenna, not Donna. Then we lost Ellie and Clayton and Lucy. Sue Ellen became an unlikable character consumed with petty revenge. Once all those characters were gone, yes, it became the JR/Bobby show. And that was bad enough, but the ridiculous late season plots coupled with the thin characters and the bad actors and actresses.... There was no saving Dallas. And I guess that's my point. Bobby didn't "ruin" Dallas by coming back. Production, writing, and casting decisions ruined Dallas. [/QUOTE]
