[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 376781, member: 672"] Had Dallas not been the great success it was, we sure would have got Gary&Val on a full-term basis from S2/S3(original) onwards. I loved how they introduced characters on Dallas at that time. Showw them once for 1-2 episodes and bring them on later full-term (see Clayton or Rebecca). In my head the ideal moment to bring them back would hace been after Bobby's death. The show's structure could have heen kept intact. Another brother for JR to fight with and another sister-in-law he hates. With Gary&Val on board early on I think the following consequences would have been: - writing off Ray, the foreman who slept with the rancher's granddaughter in TEXAS. Without making him the fourth son, the character seemed limited. - as Gary's alcoholism had been established early on and therefor seemed likely to be revisited in soapland, I don't know if SueEllen would have become a drunk, too. But dynamics might have changed as JR became the rising star of the show and SueEllen's role needed to be expanded (no more brunette on the couch). - there would have been a rift between Jock&Miss Ellie. She blamed Jock for his absence. - Gary would have taken care of the ranch. I somehow see him and Valene as the stable couple who take a backseat to JR&SueEllen - the elephant in the room is Lucy, their relationship with her parents, the conflicts being risen by their grandparents.
