[QUOTE="Rove, post: 327740, member: 100"] I've always been at odds with the character of Lucy from the get go. I can see why the creators had her established at Southfork to later introduce the characters of Gary and Val. Perhaps the issue surrounding Lucy was the writers didn't know how to write for a teenager. My main issue was Charlene's acting skills up against such established actors like Jim Davis, Barbara Bel and others so this is possibly why I skip most of her scenes. It doesn't help we later find out Ray is a half-blood Ewing so his scenes with Lucy in early Dallas creeps me out. I was quite happy for Ray being left as the ranch hand and being great mates with Jock. It might have been best if Ray was never told who his father was but Jock knew. None of this was to be revealed until after Jock's death and Ray learns of this at the reading of Jock's will. As if Miss Ellie didn't have enough to contend with. Now she was hit with another whammy...Jock had fathered another child. Those first seasons of Dallas had its share of hiccups and Lucy was a major one. I too believe there was a broader story to tell about Lucy and her parentage. [/QUOTE]
