But we never saw much of her sessions. Because yeah the Ewings sure is a dysfunctional family. But I guess they like to keep their problems to themselves...Hilarious about the Jerry Springer comment. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0208.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="lol    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> Ms Southworth, I'm glad that you enjoyed the latest update. You are right that Pam does have a secret and eventually you will find out what it is and how Bobby will take it. But not yet. Then as for Christopher I think she's brushing the problem underneath the carpet at the moment and since Cliff suddenly began to question her she sort of went into defensive mode and is not going to discuss her problems anymore with him. I'm glad that you enjoyed how Cliff and Afton got along better though. Sanda,  I wouldn't worry so much about Rebecca's paternity if I were you. After all Bobby is not worried. He knows she is his daughter. Pammy, I'm glad that you enjoyed the update. Here's another update: Mitch couldn’t believe his bad luck. When Lucy had offered to show him her work he’d expected that he might feel a little out of place. But he hadn’t expected this. Looking around the art gallery that Lucy co-owned, Mitch was looking for an escape route. Even with Lucy there excitedly presenting him to her staff and enthusiastically asking for his opinions on new painters she’d discovered Mitch had to fake interest. He knew that he should be proud of Lucy for all she had accomplished. She had finally come into her own and built up a very successful business in art dealing and yet he couldn’t help but being bored to tears with it.  “So what do you think?” Lucy enthusiastically asked his opinion of yet another painting which looked like nothing but a bunch of colors splattered together on a piece of paper.“It’s…um…special,” Mitch finally managed.“Yeah don’t you just love the artist’s use of colors?” Lucy smiled. “I can see a very Miró like quality in his work.”   “Well if you’ll say so,” Mitch shrugged his shoulders before adding carefully, “Personally I sort of prefer art where you can actually make out the motif.”  “Oh we have a lot of those too. That used to be our specialty when we started out. But after Cally moved from town we had to branch out.”“Who’s Cally?” Mitch asked. “I’ve never heard about her before…”“Oh come on Mitch, Cally was my aunt by marriage. She was the lucky little lady who was married to JR.”“JR had another wife?” Mitch asked surprised. “Sure did and a young one at that. She was only 23 when they got married.” “And JR ruined her I presume?” “He did his best to. I tried to help her. We were quite good friends before I left for Europe. Then by the time I came back she had already left town a lot richer but sort of broken in spirit. I haven’t heard anything from her for years though…” “That’s a shame.” “Yeah it’s sort of strange she just disappeared off the radar. I’ve heard rumors it might be because she bore JR a son but I’ve never gotten it confirmed. I mean how freaky is that?” Lucy asked. “I may have another little cousin running around somewhere that I’ve never even met…”“Well knowing JR you may have more than just one cousin unaccounted for…”“Very true…” Lucy smiled, before she spotted a blonde woman in her mid-40s who was busy hanging up a painting. “Now here’s someone I’d like you to meet…Diane!” Lucy called out and the woman turned around and greeted Lucy with a huge smile. “Lucy Ewing! How nice to see you. It’s really been too long.” “I know but it’s Cooper now,” Lucy said and flashed the finger with her engagement and wedding band on it.“Oh my, you’ve gotten married! Congratulations,” the woman hugged Lucy. “And I guess this is the lucky fellow?” “Yep, this is Mitch,” Lucy smiled. “Mitch meet Diane Palmer, she’s managing the art gallery for us and is handling all the day to day operations,” Lucy explained. “It’s nice to meet you Diane.” “Likewise Mitch, I gotta say Lucy landed herself a real hunk here.”“Oh Diane,” Lucy grinned. “I know I am lucky, so is there anything new that I need to know about?” “Well only that Alex sent over some new paintings from Europe that he wanted you to have a look at…” Diane replied and Lucy smiled.“Sounds good, I suppose he’s found another artist to sponsor. Alex’s always had a good eye for new talent,” Lucy smiled. “Who’s Alex?” Mitch asked, a hint of jealousy in his voice.“Um…Alex Barton is my partner…” Lucy replied a bit too quick for Mitch’s liking. “My very silent partner,” she then added.“Okay so when will I get to meet him?” Mitch asked. “You probably won’t. Not unless we travel that is. He doesn’t particularly like Dallas…” “Why’s that?” “That’s a long story but let’s just say that JR had something to do with it,” Lucy said before she looked at the watch and said, “Um…Diane I think I’ll have to take a rain check on those paintings. Mitch and I have dinner reservations for 6.30 and with the afternoon traffics we’d better start moving…”“I understand, so when will you be back?”“I’ll try to stop by before the end of the week, ok?”“Sounds good,” Diane smiled. “But what do I tell Alex?” “Tell him to buy some more paintings if he’d like. I trust his judgment,” Lucy replied. Before she turned to Mitch and said. “So now Dr. Cooper how about some dinner and a night on town?” “Finally Mrs. Cooper,” Mitch grinned. “I think some time away from your family is just what we need.”  “I couldn’t agree with you more,” Lucy smiled, before she leant up and gave Mitch a quick kiss. Then the two of them started walking out of the gallery, both looking forward to spending the night in Dallas…</blockquote>
