[QUOTE="Ukdallasfan, post: 237249, member: 5150"] I have often wondered whether there are any interviews of the cast members in which they speak of things like how hard they worked, the feeling of being dispensable, unhappiness with their characters’ storylines etc? Linda spoke vaguely about being tired of Sue Ellen drinking and having affairs and how she was almost fired for asking to direct but, otherwise, she’s forever upbeat and full of her time on the show. I’ve seen Susan Howard criticise the dream season quite bluntly but not much else. I have no doubt that the cast were happy a lot of the time. Let’s face it they became global superstars and earned good money but nothing like today’s standards, but we all know that show business is one of the toughest businesses in the world. I’d be really interested if any of you out there know of any written or televised interviews in which any of them just go for it and tell it like it was? I have wondered about NDA’s but, given how long the show was over, the risk of a civil suit would have been fairly low. I LOVE that Larry, Linda and Patrick were genuinely such good friends but, as someone commented recently, the Three Amigos stories that are recycled over and over again become a bit tedious.
