Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kenny Coyote" data-source="post: 222465" data-attributes="member: 102">That brings up an interesting thought: Without Katherine's help, Bobby couldn't have gotten the Tundra Torque and he would have lost the contest.It's true that after using JR getting shot to try to permanently take JR's job (despite initially insisting he would only run it until JR recovered) Bobby then did what you said, saying he wanted out of it and saying JR was much better at it than he ever wanted to be.I think the reason Bobby wouldn't take her out on a date to thank her is he didn't want to give Katherine the idea that he wanted to date her at all. I don't agree that Bobby would have screwed Katherine for a while and then dumped her. He wasn't attracted to her.Yes he did. He was trying to find her and had set up a meeting with a Wentworth executive to try to get additional help to find Pam. The executive gave Bob a letter from Pam where she wrote she didn't ever want to see him or Christopher again and wanted a divorce.  She'd already divorced him once. He wasn't about to go through that agin, to try to convince her to come back to him and then just have her leave again. Pam was indecisive and Bobby was tired of it. When he vowed "til death do you part" he meant it. Pam moved out three times and divorced Bobby twice. There is only so much of that a man is going to take.I don't think Bobby should have remarried Pam at all, after her being so juvenile as to blame him for Rebecca's death while holding Cliff blameless. If she's going to blame Bobby by saying Rebecca wouldn't have taken the flight if it wasn't for the contest then she should have blamed Cliff every bit as much for Rebecca's death. That was Cliff's flight and Rebecca only went because Cliff got so drunk he forgot about it, so Rebecca decided to do Cliff's job for him and took Cliff's place on the plane.It was another instance of Pam overlooking anything negative that Cliff did, and remaining loyal to him. Pam was far more loyal to Cliff than Bobby and Bobby was her husband. I guess when Bob married Pam and each vowed "til death do us part" that he was expecting a certain amount of loyalty from her that one would hope be at least as great as the loyalty she had for her brother. Just imagine if Bobby had placed his loyalty to JR above his loyalty to Pam! People would have thought it was ridiculous. Bobby said he would always put his loyalty to his wife first, ahead of his loyalty to anyone else. Too bad Pam didn't reciprocate.He wasn't being a hypocrite; he decided it was dumb to not consider romancing a woman who had previously had a romance with JR. He realized April was a woman who genuinely would place him as her first priority, and not consider her loyalty to her sister, for example, as more important than her loyalty to Bobby. That's the only way a marriage can be successful - for your spouse to be the person you're more loyal to than anyone else. if you know you're only second or third on someone's priority list, why get married?Pam had divorced him, so he was free to sleep with "a ton of boring women" if he wanted to. Anyway, I don't think Bobby considered them boring. He waited to be divorced before starting another relationship, which is something Pam didn't do.I don't see Bobby as negatively as you do. He was an excellent husband to Pam and a great father to Christopher. As a brother, he wasn't especially good. I agree with you about what he did to JR after he'd been shot. Using that as a way to try to steal his job when he'd pretended to only be taking the job until JR recovered was very low. When Bobby got shot and was blinded, JR refused to take advantage of his situation, and he explained to John Ross why he wouldn't take advantage of his brother while he was recovering from being shot. Maybe that's why Donna's presence there while Bobby was recovering from being shot was so insulting. I wish JR had asked Bobby: "Why are you appointing Donna to take your place in the office? I didn't appoint anyone to look after my interests when I'd been shot. Or is that it? Are you expecting me to to try to take advantage of you being shot the same way you did to me when I was shot"?</blockquote>
