[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 340491, member: 672"] Matt Cantrell is a prime example that they tried to copy the things Dynasty did constantly at that time. I don't like these characters appearing when the show is long in the tooth, everyone knows but we never heard of them. Like Frank Agretti on Falcon Crest. If they wanted two shove him down our throats then let him appear at the funeral not 15 episodes later. Sue Ellen falling in his arms makes me giggle everytime. I doubt that the SueEllen 10 years ago would have cared about Bobby's school friends. This whole emerald storyline is so silly, I grew to laugh about it by time. 1. Pam, a single mother who runs Ewing Oil and Barnes Wentworth in partnership goes to Colombia...to do what exactly? To sleep in a tent? But they needed the weak woman who can't help being kidnapped :) 2. the cheesy corrupt police/government 3. The set us beautiful though. Matt Cantrell was bad because he made the other characters look bad. Pam who didn't see through him right from the start. As mentioned the whole family drooling over him, but foremost JR. First he starts the whole story, then gets second thoughts and flies to Colombia as well to do what? and worst of all, he got punched by Matt Cantrell. It's this scene I have in mind when I remember the remark "if you diminish JR, you diminish the whole series" And it was so pointless - Matt Cantrell leaves with his head held high and we are left with JR who once drove others to commit suicide but now can't deal with a fraud anymore.
