[QUOTE="Piggyrella Sanderson, post: 416739, member: 82"] There was no comparison because the writing for Amanda #2 was abysmal. Suddenly she was a kind Grandma type who "happened" to be in a mental hospital and kept all her things from her past. It would be unfair to criticize the second actress because of that, she has played similar roles before and after. [CENTER][ATTACH type="full"]55316[/ATTACH][/CENTER] Lesley Woods was just perfect in her only scene as Amanda in "Wheeler Dealer" (one of my favorite "Dallas" episodes ever). And also partly because of the masterful writing of DOOL alum Barbara Searles in her ONLY script for the show. It´s all so emotional and unexpected, we didn´t really know too much about her illness, which is also another groundbreaking issue covered by "Dallas". The score, Jim, Patrick and Barbara´s acting ,and the way it was filmed had nothing to do with that Season 8 episode. Oh and Victoria looked gorgeous in it, though reminiscent of her future impersonator Margaret Michaels.
