[QUOTE="Bobby Southworth, post: 380998, member: 4960"] In my opinion, he worked better as the ranch foreman, but I did enjoy the episode "The Fourth Son", and Ray's emotional reaction to finding out he was Jock's son, and also Jock's reaction. That said, I'm torn because I find a lot of Ray's story-lines after this to be dull and sometimes annoying, but truth be told, he played a very human and real character. Maybe that was the problem?? True to life isn't always the most interesting thing to watch on TV, especially a bigger than life show such as "Dallas". His attitude at times, though, the stubbornness irritated me. Since Dallas was loosely based on the 1956 film Giant, starring Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, and James Dean, it might have been more interesting to see Ray played along the lines of James Dean's Jett Rink? character. So, yes, in a sense, Ray staying as somewhat of a bad guy, but then striking it rich on the land Jock gave him. [/QUOTE]
