[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 222964, member: 102"] The thing people hate most about bullies is their cowardice. Bullies aren't usually tough guys. A tough guy is usually one of he quietest people in the room because he doesn't feel any need to run his mouth, bragging about how tough he is and threatening how he'll "take you apart." He doesn't have to say what people already know. People treat him well because they respect him and once in a while when someone does something stupid to provoke him into a fight. People see [B]exactly[/B] why he has a reputation as a tough guy. If Bobby was a tough guy Mark Graison wouldn't bring flowers to Pam right in front of Bobby while Bobby does nothing. Naldo wouldn't threaten to take Jenna away from him no matter how he has to do it while Bobby does nothing. he says: "If I see ever see Naldo Marquetta again, I'll kill him." He does see Naldo again and doesn't lay a hand on him. Naldo has just married Jenna who looks too frightened to speak and Charlie is nowhere in sight on her mother's wedding day. Nothing suspicious about that, right? Patrick Duffy was interviewed by Ultimate Dallas who asked him about the difference in Bobby's character - the wimpy pre-dream season Bobby and the more macho post-dream season Bobby. Here's the excerpt that deals with that. UD - Bobby was far more macho post dream. Patrick - Yep, that's what happened and became a Leonard Katzman decision. It wasn't ever discussed with me. It was never part of any arrangement for me coming back. Leonard is extenuating those parts of the character it was very nice for me. I don't know if I enjoyed the second part of Dallas more than the first, but it was different, so it was refreshing. (later in the interview) UD - It was that season. The season you returned. Patrick - Yes, it was just the way things worked out. The Bobby character ascended a bit. Its show business, a lot of that is not decided on personal whim but what those people in charge decide will add another year longevity, another ratings point. If it hadn't worked in year nine I would have been back to wimpy Bobby. They call it show business for a reason, ultimately its the business. ******** The Bobby that returned to Dallas found out what Tommy McKay did to April, walked right into his house and beat the hell out of Tommy right in front of his sister. Bobby wasn't fighting an old man with desk job or a little weasel of a lawyer, he was fighting a tough young man who was fresh out of prison and the fight went on until one man was left standing. He actually fought for his lady. Patrick Duffy described the change as "refreshing." I have to agree. [/QUOTE]
