Insinuated storylines which never materialized

Ray and Lucy facing the reality that they committed incest; how the heck does a melodrama pass up on that?
During the battle of Jock's will, there was a subplot of the cartel (plus Rebecca, Holly and Clayton, I think?) aligning as a third faction in the war. That could have been all out chaos, but it just sputtered out.

These are two perfect examples of the writers trying to find things for the secondary characters to do. Donna was a great character, and Susan Howard is a great actor. They just ran out of storylines for her and Ray.
Same with Clayton. It's easy to forget that Howard Keel was a celebrity in demand back then. His personality was a good one for Dallas, but they never really found anything for him to do.

I never thought that Peter was the father of the baby. It would have been interesting to find out who was.

When I watched the first scenes with the Farlows, the parallels between Southfork and the Southern Cross were quite remarkable. The powerhouses in the own countys with lots of staff and one matriarch/patriarch.
Obviously it was written that way to show that JR now found someone of his own size. But I wonder why they had to introduce such an iconic ranch.
A few episodes earlier a storyline about land (Takapa) dominated part of the previous season. I was expecting a conflict between the Southern Cross and Southfork along the way (cattle or sth. like that).
Jessica was nuts, but I'll always cheer when she tells Clayton off because he sold the Southern Cross. Finally, someone tells him what a big mistake he made.
I always wished they had kept it and Sue Ellen spent her last year on the show there with Dusty.

I always thought it was Peter's.
If it wasn't his could it have been Cliff Barnes or was it JR's baby all along.
