Message: <blockquote data-quote="Luke_Krebbs_Ewing" data-source="post: 353369" data-attributes="member: 64">He was terrific as Jock Ewing but as much as I hate to say this the character's death did lead to some of the greatest Dallas storylines.  The year long battle for Ewing Oil for instance.I love his performance as Jock and badly wanted Steve Forrest's character of Wes or Ben to really be Jock.  I've always maintained there was never a slight against Jim Davis, bringing Jock back with another actor would've been a tribute to him.  It's just a shame that the character of Ben/Wes who really was intended to be Jock all along was written off the show because the Producers ultimately chickened out on going through with the storyline.  A shame.   <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
