[QUOTE="LMLDallas78, post: 393127, member: 55682"] This storyline really does frustrate me. Absolutely against it on original airing but have warmed to it so much in more recent years. I can now appreciate how good Steve Forrest was and how brave Dallas was to attempt to replace Jim's character but I still can't really make up my mind. Was never sure about Sue Ellen's motives in secretly visiting him. Was it just because she knew it would irritate JR? She didn't exactly have a close relationship with Jock so I find it hard to believe her reasons could be genuine. She only started to believe him when he mentioned JR not taking to John Ross until he knew he was his Father. He told her people would say he read it in the papers but he didn't, he knew because he was there. So that's only his word? Did the papers reveal the outcome? Did they report that JR didn't take to Baby John? If everyone knew this, why on earth didn't Jock and Miss Ellie notice and tell JR to engage with the child? Was it simply that this was a woman's job back then so no one ever noticed that JR had nothing to do with him? EVERYONE noticed Sue Ellen's lack of maternal feelings. Wes as Jock should have showed some regret that he didn't encourage JR to bond with his son and only viewed Sue Ellen as an heir provider. [/QUOTE]
