Also being super rich the Ewing&#039;s living arrangements makes no sense what-so-ever. But at the same time all the drama comes from having them all live in that house.

But where would the drama be if there wasn&#039;t a conflict? Charlie keeping stuff bottled up inside for much longer than what&#039;s healthy do create a situation with tension between her and certain relatives, which she has not seen in a long time. Thanks for your faith in my writing skills. True that we could add more of these heart-to-heart scenes that you are requesting. Yet with the exception of Donna and Miss Ellie&#039;s rather frequent talks, these kind of Miss Ellie scenes didn&#039;t happen all that often in the original show either. Okay so here&#039;s tonight&#039;s update: On Sunday afternoon at Southfork, John Ross knocked on Sue Ellen’s door. At first there was no reply but he knew she was in there. So he knocked on the door again before he yelled, “Mama it’s me, can I come in?”“Of course John Ross,” Sue Ellen replied.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; John Ross opened the door and walked into the room where he found his mother sitting over by her desk, writing something in her journal. Seeing the dried tears on her cheeks he felt uncomfortable, “Um…if this is a bad time maybe I can come back later.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “No it’s okay, what did you want?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Just to talk,” John Ross said. “Look mama I know you’re upset about the divorce but I’m worried about you.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “There’s no need to be, I’m fine!” Sue Ellen insisted.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “No you’re not. You’ve been cuffed up in this room most of the week. I’ve barely seen you except at dinner.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “So I need some space, there’s no big deal.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “But it is a big deal!” John Ross insisted. “Look mama I overheard daddy and uncle Bobby talk about you the other day…”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Oh?” Sue Ellen looked questioningly.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Uncle Bobby said that Aunt Pam’s found you with a drink in your hand before you went to see grandma!” John Ross went on.&nbsp;Sue Ellen looked down in shame, “I didn’t drink it John Ross.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah because Aunt Pam stopped you! Still that you feel like you need to drink worries me. I don’t want you to get sick like you were when I was little. I know that divorces are difficult. But Don’s not worth it mama. It’s not like you were all that happy together anyway!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “What do you know about that?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I lived with you, remember?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah, so?” Sue Ellen raised an eyebrow. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “All you did before we moved back to Southfork was argue. You know we’re better off living here in Texas with our family!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I know you are John Ross. But you’re forgetting that I’m not married to your father anymore. So to live here at Southfork feels a bit funny for me!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “But it doesn’t have to be, Southfork was your home too mama and grandma wants you to stay with us,” John Ross insisted before he added. “I want you to stay with me and I’m happiest here at Southfork.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I know that honey and I will stay for now. But I can’t promise that I’ll always live here. It’s just until I’ve gotten my divorce sorted and found a place of my own here in Texas.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I realize that, I’m just saying that there’s no hurry for you to move out, since I love it when we all live together!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well I’m glad that you’re happy,” Sue Ellen managed a smile.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Thanks mama and do you know what would make me even happier?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “No what’s that?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “If we could spend some time together this afternoon,” John Ross grinned. “How about if you give me my first driving lesson?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Oh I don’t know John Ross.&nbsp; I mean I don’t even have a car here and…”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well that’s not a problem. Daddy said we can take his car!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah but I’m not sure I feel like driving I mean…”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I’m not taking no for an answer. I want to learn how to drive and I want you there with me for this occasion. It’s a big step in my life!” John Ross pleaded with Sue Ellen.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Alright then, I’ll take you driving!” Sue Ellen agreed.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Great, thanks mama!” John Ross grinned as he leant forward and gave his mom a hug and a kiss on the cheek. “Now let’s go!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Not so fast, I need to freshen up some first. I’ll meet you downstairs in fifteen minutes, ok?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Okay mama!” John Ross agreed and Sue Ellen couldn’t help but smile when she saw how excited her son was about learning how to drive.</blockquote>
