[QUOTE="Jabari Lamar, post: 289563, member: 2208"] See this is what I mean about bad writing, even those ideas you mention aren't bad, they were just badly executed. "Rebecca" could have been Katherine's secret daughter (especially if they made her J.R.'s daughter, although that means they never would have been able to do the later romance with John Ross), or even Carter McKay's secret granddaughter, sent to secretly infiltrate the Ewing family to destroy them from within. Those two would have made more sense than Cliff using his daughter in a scheme like that, especially since we saw him get over his hatred of the Ewings on the original series. As many have suggested, at least Elena would have made more sense if she was Theresa and Raul's daughter, we could assume she was around in the old series we just never saw her (it's not like the show ever focused on the servants private lives), or Carmen could have started working at Southfork a few years after the original series ended, bringing Elena and Andrew with her as young kids, so they could have still "grown up" with Christopher and John Ross. And Frank could have been an executive who started working for Cliff at Ewing Oil a few years after he took it over, and he rose through the ranks to become his right-hand man, and presumptive heir apparent, they didn't need to add the backstory of Cliff somehow finding him as young boy in Islamabad and sponsoring his education.
