[QUOTE="stevew, post: 182724, member: 130"] Actually 1985 - Bobby would survive Katherine nearly killing him and in September they’d open 6 months later with Bobby leaving the hospital already married to Pam (hence on KL they’d deal with Bobby’s near death). At the time the real governor was a Democrat, so I’d have it JR black mailing a Democratic Governor into giving Bobby the job and thus Bobby would agree to switch parties. He was already more a moderate type, probably make more a conservative Democrat but doable. And money doesn’t care about parties - they want to influence both. I went with the Kennedy idea because it seemed they were already going with such, with Cliff at least. Plus the Kennedy’s have a good guy reputation, come off as a romance (the public only saw Camelot) and young children. In the 6 months Cliff and Pam would have sold everything to a NYC investment firm, buried Kathryn and made some major life changes. Cliff would have been right by Pam and Bobby’s side as he puts his life back together. Cliff would make sense as he knows the law and politics - which Bobby doesn’t. The senate at the time is Republican controlled so Bobby could easily vote with them on some issues. This would make a great way to really dive into political questions. JR would also be behind things pushing for Cliff to leave, the governor insisting on Bobby asking Cliff. He’d be behind the NYC firm that buys Cliff and Pam out of everything and uses it to set up Ewing Industries - an investment company he owns 100% which he plans on tying Ewing Oil to so he can also take over it. Why anyone would vote for him at all would be part of the drama as by the end of the year he’d be up for election. Cliff would help him get the support of the Texas Democratic Party behind him. Also note the black senator from Massachusetts is a Republican, which was the case a decade earlier. The idea would be to shake things up a bit to make them interesting. Yes Dallas would be gutted but they’d have key players on which to build (JR, Sue Ellen, Ray, Donna, and Wendell), so I don’t think the show would be over, but actually have started a second life - see the next post with JR and the cast of Dallas in 1985.
