Dallas Had Great Writers, But They Totally Dropped The Ball With Leslie Stewart.

[Billy Wall]

I don't know if anyone has ever said this, but Leslie Stewart Should have been working for either Jordan Lee/the cartel or Marilee. The cartel was still seething about the Asian oil leases and would have had the motivation to still want to see JR ruined.

For a show that's good with twist, I wonder why no one thought of that idea. It would have elevated the cartel from just a group of oilmen that JR deals with from time to time, to major character on Dallas. It would have also made a dreary storyline 100% better.

That is a great idea. I think the writers saw the cartel members as little more than plot devices and never considered actual stories for any of them.
