[QUOTE="Mustard, post: 333526, member: 46"] It was different in the past, though. Jock was pressuring a teenage Gary back in the early 1960s when he was living at Southfork with a teenage Valene and baby Lucy. "You have a wife and daughter now, Gary. You have responsibilities, now bloody well face them, or you'll have me to answer to". Gary at that point doesn't like responsibility. It scares him, and his instinct is to run away. It can't have done his male ego any good in his youth that an (on the surface) vulnerable Valene seemed to get stronger with every setback and become a bit of a rock to him, while he just seemed to get more scared. This theme is shown to some extent in the first 3 Knots Landing seasons too. If Gary was set on achieving something, he was pretty formidable. That's why J.R. is always weary of Gary. J.R. knows a full potential Gary is a possible threat to him. A bit different with Bobby, because Bobby plays the Ewing game, does what's expected of him, whereas Gary is unpredictable and thinks way outside the box. [/QUOTE]
