Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rove" data-source="post: 358631" data-attributes="member: 100">Out of the 2 characters; Rebecca and Lady Jessica I think Rebecca should have stayed around a bit longer. Don't get me wrong, I think the addition of Alexis Smith was brilliant but I was a little annoyed how quickly Lady Jessica came and went when I think there was greater potential to draw her character out. The major issue I had was Lady Jessica had spent all this time in Europe knowing the truth about Dusty and didn't display any mental issues until becoming aware Clayton was going to marry Miss Ellie. It was like someone had flicked the switch. Lady Jessica's story upon a rewatch was a little rushed.If it was up to me I would have had Lady Jessica written arriving into Dallas knowing Farlow and Ewing secrets which JR was desperate to learn but even he was no match for her. Instead I would have Lady Jessica return in a semi-permanent role by moving back to the Southern Cross Ranch since Clayton was now going to be at Southfork. This of course makes Clayton a little nervous.Now I say Lady Jessica knows Ewing secrets because it would have been great if she had some connection to either Jock or Jason Ewing in her youth without Miss Ellie's knowledge. Whatever story came of that would have created additional layers to the Ewing story and kept Lady Jessica hanging around for a while.</blockquote>
