Dream season - Pam pregnant

Maybe cos they wanted to move the show into a new era, especially Pam. Her overall arc that season was about coming to terms with losing Bobby and then moving on -- she assumed his role at Ewing Oil and followed his dream to Colombia, but then she was done. Once she sold his shares of Ewing Oil and buried the hatchet with Jenna, it looked like it was all gonna be about her and Mark from then on. There was sure to be further conflict with JR (he had that dirt on Mark), but it would be on a different footing rather than rehashing all the old Bobby stuff.

Pam having Bobby’s baby in the Dream Season (perhaps while in South America inside an emerald mine) could have opened up a new possibility for bringing Duffy back without wiping out a whole season or concocting some kind of ludicrous, credulity-straining secret FBI/CIA fake death coma witness protection plot.

As we’ve seen, children on these shows can age several years at a time. For example, look at Christopher’s transformation from the lovable and dynamic Eric Farlow to Joshua Harris. Sure, some may have missed the poor little curly-haired guy, but I doubt many stopped watching the show in protest.

With that in mind, surely they could have bumped up infant Bobby Junior’s age a bit and had *him* be the one in the shower. Of course he’d be the spitting image of his daddy! Some children’s first words are “mama” or “dada”, and some extra-precocious tots blurt out “mornin’”. It just makes sense!

I think it would have been great, but they were more concerned with hooking up Pam and the Pornstache before Bobby’s body was cold. Mustn’t let one of the leading ladies be without a man for more than 10 minutes!

They really needed to move the show forward I think.

Pam being pregnant with Bobby's baby would've been great but having both Jenna & Pam having Bobby's kid would've been overkill.

If Pam had been pregnant I would've had Jenna miscarry her baby! Which is ironic as I wouldn't be here but even so! Pam deserved a natural child of her own. :)

I read she had made up her mind and had informed the production she would be done with Dallas the next season. And her feud with JR being over, I feel she was going to exit whatever, Bobby back or not...

Oh I don't know...Jenna was a huge pain in the backside for me by this time, I would have loved watching her joy about having Bobby's baby only to be broken by the news that Pam was too...then DNA results revealing that Jack was the father of Jenna's child, not Bobby. Oh how I would have laughed as they carried her off to the mental institution kicking and screaming as the door shut.

Bye bye Jenna....and obviously Charlie would have just ran away is disgust...never to be seen or heard from ever again.

Then later down the line when J.R is in the sanitarium he sees her all drugged up, dribbling in the corner of a room....Oh why didn't they do that!!!??? :laugh1:

But Pam and Jenna never would have been pregnant in the same season.

Im Suggesting as Bobby was dead in the dream Pam should have found out she was pregnant which would have caused more conflict with Jenna and arguably the Ewings that could have gone on for years.

The following year with everything reset the pregnancy wouldn’t have happened.

But I wonder… if they did make Pam pregnant in the dream after wanting a baby for so long, would they have gone with the dream scenario at the end or would that have been a big enough storyline for make them to come up with another way of bringing Bobby back?

Jenna and Pam, both pregnant and Bobby dead, have a third trimester cat fight and fall into the Southfork pool. Sue Ellen stands by ineffectually, wondering why she isn't the center of attention. Miscarriages ensue and Angelica Nero blames Digger Barnes but we're never sure why except that she "knows something."

And then Ben Stivers announces his intention to remarry Miss Ellie after Clayton dies from his heart attack.

Keenan Wynn guest stars as Digger's ghost who appears to Pam with the words: "He will sneeze four times!"

Pam is in shock when Ben (Jock) sneezes four times at his wedding to Miss Ellie at Southfork. What does it all mean? Maybe Jock just has a cold!! :)

It would have been cruel irony had Pam had Bobby’s posthumous baby in season 9 (DVD) she finally carries a baby to term and it’s healthy yet the father of said child, a man she loved is dead and she’s about to marry another man.

But as others have said the intention of season 9 was to completely move it into a new era after a repetitive couple of years.

A shame that they didn't make Pam pregnant in that season because she obviously spent the night with Bobby the night before he died. :(

They should have also had Sly pregnant with Bobby’s child during the dream season. The three ladies then decide to move in and raise their children together, in a spinoff series.

And then Phyllis announces that she's pregnant with JR's baby!

Mandy Winger will be pulling her hair out! Except she's pregnant with Cliff's baby!

The Ewing's and the Barnes certainly got around! :)

When I found out that Bobby would return (the shower scene) and they would re-marry, I made up a scenario for OR Season 9: I took for granted they would keep the Krebbses together and would re-adopt Tony, I also thought that Pam could finally get pregnant, and that Jenna was told their wedding´s day that she had cancer (I think the National Enquirer, which published this, had better taste that Katzman regarding Jenna´s fate). In the cliffhanger, Pam almost died when giving birth... Jenna probably would commit suicide after killing Charlie... (no, then I didn´t make up this, ahem)
