[QUOTE="Ms Southworth, post: 83364, member: 312"] Of course, Sue Ellen should know JR by now! However, it's my guess that Karin is trying to show the inner conflict that Sue Ellen is having with herself! On one hand, Sue Ellen feels (in her heart) that JR was the greatest love of her life and also the best lover she ever had! On the other hand, Sue Ellen knows (using her head) that her past marriages with JR - even though they started off close to perfect - ended in disaster and divorce! Honestly, lots of people go through these emotions in their life, Presea! The heart is a funny thing! Personally, I think that it's just one of those things that was a big part of the show (which Karin, I'm guessing, was trying to incorporate into her fanfic). Referring to herself as a Ewing was a huge thing for Sue Ellen, since she didn't seem to have much self-esteem in especially the earlier seasons of Dallas. Jock and Ellie always used to say something like ... ... "[I]we Ewings stick together through the good and the bad[/I]"! And Sue Ellen enjoyed belonging to this "group"! To me, Sue Ellen seeing herself as a Ewing, was a character "feature" that probably shouldn't be questioned! :shy: I remember that I once questioned the drama series "Home Improvement", because we never got to see the face of the neighbor, Wilson. In each and every episode, they would come up with a way to hide his face, so he ended up becoming the unseen neighbor! Anyway, it was explained to me that it was a part of the show and that I should just accept the writers' decision to do that! After giving it some thought, it did make sense to me! I wasn't a die hard fan of the show, so I hadn't made the "connection" that they did it on purpose! Hope that it's OK that I share my thoughts in regards to your post! :hugs: [/QUOTE]
