The dullest marriage in primetime soaps! They were married for about 30 seconds and then spent an interminable amount of time separated, with Lucy dithering about whether or not to return to him, before Mitch finally was written out.

It would have been much better if Lucy had married someone like Chip Roberts, a two-faced schemer who wanted a piece of the Ewing pie, and was more than happy to move into Southfork.

The best line in their whole relationship was when JR was pressuring Lucy to use her votes in Ewing Oil to his benefit. When he threatened to hurt Mitch's job, Lucy said, "Mitch can go to the moon for all I care!":)

I liked Lucy and Mitch as a couple but I think once they were married it was a case of the writers not really knowing what to do with them.

Yeah I often wondered that myself. I did not think much of Mitch especially after that ridiculous temper tantrum after the bridal shower when all JR did was offer him a job at Ewing Oil. Who in their right mind want to marry this guy?

Were they suppose to move to Knots Landing to be near Gary and Valene or have a spinoff of their own?

Still couldnt believe JR had the balls, (no pun intended) to take Afton up to his on bedroom for a romp during the wedding knowing Sue Ellen and everyone was right outside and ould have come in in a minutes notice.
Why not at least go down to the barn or a spare bedroom or something.
