This is one of the original scenes in this story that hasn&#039;t really changed since we first wrote it when I was about 15 years old. So Pam&#039;s reaction to &quot;Bobby&#039;s bimbo former bed partners&quot; can probably best be seen as my way of dealing with a plotline that I didn&#039;t like. So hence Pam&#039;s jealousy. I think my reasoning went something along the lines of that because Bobby slept with that woman before his divorce was final Pam has reason to be jealous. Even though of course that woman is not a threat to her! Luckily I think that scene was the last of it&#039;s kind! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0208.gif"&nbsp; class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="lol&nbsp; &nbsp; :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />Then as for Pam, she did display some jealousy in her final season when she was obsessing over the child Bobby was going to have with Jenna. She was seriously jealous about that and even tried to buy Jenna&#039;s baby. :eck:Sanda, don&#039;t worry about Tammy. I didn&#039;t like her much on the original show either and she&#039;s not coming back again. This scene was just to establish that she&#039;d found happiness with someone else and had moved on from Bobby. Her husband is the father of her daughter. Not Bobby. All they ever had was a one night stand and it was more than 4 years ago so he can&#039;t be the father of her child! Ms Southworth, thanks for pointing out that you are not critizising my writing skills. That&#039;s good to know. So I guess what you are doing is critizising the characters you don&#039;t like and also the plots you don&#039;t like, am I right?Good qusetion, probably because she sees him as her ticket to a better life for herself and her daughter. She was a bit of a gold digger on the show at first and she did marry that other man who she thought was rich. Then as for Afton, I think the version of her you meet in this fanfic is based a lot on the character she was when she came back to Dallas for the last time (before JR Returns that is). Back then Afton didn&#039;t want to marry Cliff since she thought he only wanted her for her daughter. She wanted a man who wanted her for her. So that&#039;s what she has found in Mario. Someone who loves and wants her regardless of her daughter. That doesn&#039;t sound good. So was there something in the last update that upset you? Okay so it&#039;s time for an update: Ray, Donna, Margaret and Rebecca were walking around at the Palace of Wax museum. Margaret pointed at the statue of President John F. Kennedy and said in an excited tone of voice, “Mom look, he looks so real!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; “He sure does dear!” Donna smiled as she walked up to her daughter.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Who is he?” Rebecca wrinkled her forehead, since she didn&#039;t recognize him. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Don’t you know?” Margaret turned to her before she went on like it was the most natural thing in the world, “He’s President Kennedy!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Rebecca looked confused, “But I thought the President’s name was Bill Clinton!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yes, but John F Kennedy was one of our Presidents in the 1960s!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “But that’s a long time ago!” Rebecca said.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Sure is,” Margaret agreed. “Let’s take our picture with him!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Why?” Rebecca asked. “He’s a stuffy old man!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Is not, he’s a legend!” Margaret insisted.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Rebecca shrugged her shoulders, “Well alright then, if it means so much to you.” Rebecca and Margaret lined up in front of the figure.
