[QUOTE="Mustard, post: 135693, member: 46"] They would have been better off killing Pam off right there. Nobody would survived those flames that we saw. However, not only did Victoria catch them by surprise when informing them late in the season that she was definitely leaving, it's clear that the Dallas brass were afraid to do a storyline like they had done 2 years prior with Bobby, and the audience would have been cynical because of that, asking if Pam's death was another dream. David Jacobs said that the worst thing about the dream revelation was how it insulted the viewers who had mourned Bobby's death. This, and having those same viewers on a string for 31 episodes afterwards with storylines that would get annulled. My mother was a big Dallas fan. She loved Pam and Mark together, Jamie and Cliff together, Donna and Ray's storylines that season with patching up their marriage, the down's syndrome, miscarriage, adoption of Tony, Sue Ellen hitting rock bottom and sorting herself out with high self-esteem for the first time, was riveted to Angelica Nero's plans and her attempt to kill J.R. and Jack, Jamie apparently getting killed, and Sue Ellen getting blown up in J.R.'s office at the end. Of course, none of it happened as far as the next season was concerned. Not only was Bobby alive, but Mark had never returned, Donna was still pregnant, her marriage with Ray was having problems which only got worse, Sue Ellen was never blown up and her self-esteem was back down (at least at first), Jack reduced to virtual irrelevance until he left the series, Cliff never genuinely loved Jamie and Jamie was killed off again for definite this time, the women were weakened etc. Hard to imagine Dallas without Pam, full stop. However, killing her off and having people mourn her would have been better than mummifying her and turning Pam's story into a dog's breakfast like they did. [/QUOTE]
