Christopher after Kristen died

[CeeCee72]

I am trying to remember without having to go back and find and watch the specific episodes, so hope some of y'all can help...

When Kristen drowned in the Southfork pool, we see JR go out to the Southern Cross and inform Sue Ellen. She looks very upset, but what I can't recall is whether JR OR Sue Ellen ever talked to each other or anyone else about what was going to happen to Kristen's baby. It seems weird to me that neither would mention it since it was supposedly JR's son and was definitely SE's nephew.

JR told Sue Ellen that Kristin was dead. She didn't believe him at first. Then she believed JR had killed Kristin, which he denied. Sue Ellen asked about her baby. JR told Sue Ellen that they only had Kristin's word for that there was a baby and that there probably never was any baby. He then asked her to come back home. But Sue Ellen refused saying that Kristin's child wasn't the only reason she had left him. She was never going back to Southfork.

I can't recall them ever talking to someone else about Kristin's baby. But Bobby definitely knew about it or else he wouldn't have tried to buy Kristin's baby from Jeff thinking it was JR's son.

Did Bobby know about the baby and that Kristin was the one who shot JR before Jeff approached him with the baby?

 

[Karin]

That is an excellent question. I don't remember if he did. Gary and Val knew Kristin was pregnant though. Because after she left Dallas and came to California she showed up on Knots Landing for a crossover episode. I seem to recall that Gary called Southfork and talked to Bobby in that episode.

I don't think so. Remember we had the scene where Kristin sat down with the whole family and told them that ridiculous story about her being obsessed with JR but him refusing to touch her before JR shipped her out to California.

Bobby knew that Kristin had shot JR, but he didn't know anything about her baby until Jeff sent him a mysterious letter with a photo of Kristin and her baby and arranged a meeting. Pam and Bobby weren't at Southfork when Kristin confessed to the family that she had shot JR, but Jock and Miss Ellie informed them about it at breakfast apparently the next morning.

That's what I remembered too.

It bothers me, because even if they "thought" there "probably" wasn't a baby, it looks like at least one of them would have at least considered finding it if one existed and check to see if it was being cared for properly.

Of course, guess neither ever did as Faraday showed up with Christopher much later.

Ah. Right. I forgot that Pam and Bobby weren't there.

I never saw that scene. Was in the episode after she admitted to JR that Sue Ellen was right, that she was the assailant?

I think JR and Sue Ellen were too busy fighting for custody of their own son in their upcoming divorce to care about Kristin's baby.

I believe so. It was after JR said no one was going to jail (after Kristin claimed to be pregnant).

I wonder if Miss Ellie or Lucy would ever tell Gary. If he ever mentioned to one of them that Kristin visited him, I wonder if they said, "Uh, you don't any fire arms, do you? "

Did Bobby know about the baby and that Kristin was the one who shot JR before Jeff approached him with the baby?

No. But had he known she shot him he'd probably have made her his best friend.
