[QUOTE="Mustard, post: 210987, member: 46"] Contractual issues that only happened because of Barbara's health situation, is more accurate in explaining Barbara's leaving Dallas in 1984. If Barbara never has the heart issues that require surgery in March 1983, the chain of events would never have started that led to Barbara's leaving, Donna's arriving, and Barbara's return. Barbara would have just carried on as normal without the heart trouble, and wouldn't need to ask for a reduction in her work schedule that caused the differences with the Dallas brass. Barbara wasn't old enough to be Larry Hagman's mother, neither, yet it was totally believable on screen with Miss Ellie and J.R. that they were mother and son. Even harder was Cliff and Pam being brother and sister who were close in age (just 4 years), which was also pulled off brilliantly. Donna Reed's biggest weakness as Miss Ellie was that she didn't show enough emotion. [/QUOTE]
