[QUOTE="TJames03, post: 210158, member: 143"] It’s weird how it seemed that Reed’s co-stars personally blamed her. I genuinely think she was set up by the producers to take this Herculean fall. I don’t know why they did this, but I believe they did. Ellie was making bizarre decisions at this time, like when she left Southfork and was living in a hotel (obviously this was done to minimize Reed’s screen time and get Reed out of Southfork). They seemed to make Reed’s acting static, too. It was like they brought the acting standards from Dynasty over to Dallas with her. The only time Reed actually seemed to break this static mode and showed any true emotion was when Bobby was “dying.” Ironically, this was Reed’s final scene. The only thing that Reed did that besmirched her reputation was trying to shut down production of the show and make disparaging remarks about BBG. She was risking the livelihood of cameramen, writers, etc., that had absolutely nothing to do with what TPTB were doing to her. Also, in making snide remarks about BBG, it just made her look bad. Whether or not Reed would have been fired if BBG hadn’t agreed to return won’t ever really be known, but BBG was a beloved actress and calling snide names didn’t help Reed’s case very much.....
