If Lucy Had a Twin

[Ray_Krebbs]

I thought of an idea that could have given Charlene more to get into. Perhaps Val took off from Southfork before giving birth. J.R. learns of her whereabouts and goes after Val. This was after giving birth. J.R.'s goons stop a running Val and take Lucy. They did not know there was another girl in the house with Lilimae. Years later Lucy and Jimmy Monahan go to a diner in Tennessee after visiting the Grand Ole Oprey. A young girl approaches them at the counter to take their order. Both she and Lucy are in shock that they are identical. The diner turns out to be owned by Val, and this leads to the eventual return of Val and Lucy twin to the Dallas fold. Val realized the Ewings had no clue of the twin and made no effort to fight for Lucy in fear of losing her other girl. The twin could have been the complete opposite of Lucy, perhaps a bit like Cally. Young, naive, and genuinely sweet. She could turn out to be the granddaughter Miss Ellie always wanted, making Lucy jealous. Or, could the twin be secretly jealous of the lifestyle Lucy had and secretly plot her demise?

 

[Snarky Oracle!]

Lucy's twin, her fraternal twin: I'd cast Sally Struthers.

I think it would've been better if Lucy's twin had've been male.

and if anyone had the acting chops to play near-opposite identical twins it was Charlene!

(Duffy, on the other hand, never could have pulled off being an Evil Bobby Twin, hence Pam’s dream)

Yeah I agree with you as regards Patrick Duffy.

He just wasn't as great an actor to pull it off.

This was my exact thought when I first read the title. Making him male would have created the drama in those early seasons of Dallas especially so when Jock was still with us. JR might have thought he had the upper hand with Val but just imagine if he had discovered a male blood Ewing. Jock would have been thrilled...JR not so much. Lucy would have felt slighted. The Princess was suddenly replaced by a Prince.

 

[tommie]

Yes, absolutely. Let's have Charlene play dual roles, maybe they could've swapped like in the Parent Trap.

Or she could play the entire Ewing clan in a variety of wigs and prosthetics. Like Alec Guinness in Kind Hearts And Coronets.

which reminds me… as I’ve always said, she may have been quite young when Star Wars was filmed, but Charlene, with a fake beard and lifts, would have made a tremendous Obi-Wan Kenobi
