Is this Sheree's worst scene?

Cathy Podewell is having fun on the Facebook threads, posting this (Season 12?) scene as one of her faves which showcases the amazing 'chemistry' between the actresses. I have to disagree.

Sheree in particular comes out badly. April seems all over the place, starting off sympathetic to Cally, then smugly grinning, before the drink slinging and finishing off with the cheesiest of deliveries 'you thought this was going to be a bad night. HA HA HA''.

Throw in some elevator muzak and the bar randomly erupting in applause for a true horror show.

'The Lovely Michelle'
Season 13, 1989-'90.


I liked this scene overall. The dialog could have been better and a real cat-fight would have been entertaining, as Michelle would have lay waste to Cally. :box:I always enjoyed the sibling relationship between April and Michelle.

It's nice to see Cathy Podewell enjoyed this scene. She brought some fun to the last three seasons of Dallas.

I like how the whole bar immediately erupts in applause as the drinks are thrown. All it needed was a shirtless Tommy McKay howling like the Incredible Hulk.

I did like Michelle in the scene, and Lucy got a good quip in about not everyone there having slept with JR

I do also have respect for Cathy Podewell just loving her time on Dallas. Fair play to her.

I feel Sheree just was all over the place here, don't get her motivation and seems to change from one shot to the next. Like a malfunctioning robot.

Tommy McKay getting naked might have improved the situation I agree with that.

I have always enjoyed this scene. "We've All Slept with JR." Lucy: "No, that's not true". lol. This scene has actually stuck in my mind since the original airing. Cathy has good taste. Looking at it now, the only slight downside is the people all clapping, as Taylor and MarkyMark mentioned. I don't mind seasons 11-13 as much as most here seem to. Season 14, different story.

I liked Sheree on original transmission but now on viewing my boxsets I tend to stop at season ten.

However of late I just grab a boxset randomly and watch it.

What strikes me with that scene is that of the two Stevens sisters Michelle was the better character.

Cathy Podewell was a lovely actor as Cally and Kimberly Foster acts rings around Sheree J. Wilson as Michelle.

One thing with Michelle is she has great screen presence which poor April doesn't! A pty they didn't introduce Michelle sooner because April doesn't do it for me when they softened her character and tried pairing her off with Bobby.

Many fans deride the later years of Dallas because of too many younger stars but one thing they got right was Kimberly Foster as Michelle. I appreciate her far more now than Sheree's bland portrayal of April. :)
 
It always stuck me that the blande blondies of the final years showed just how much Dallas had dumbed down in terms of acting, quality and scripts and employed 2nd rate actors who wouldnt have got a look in during Dallas in its prime

SJW, Cathy Podewall, Kim Foster - all ones to FWD and pretty dire with it! altho Kim Foster had great hair!!

To me it´s the one when she spills the beans to Bobby about Cliff having talked to the "real" Pam. That proved what kind of garbage she actually was, even as a friend. And also when she sees him with the Bo Derek double (Tammy?) and again goes all b*tch mode out of jealousy. Bobby became quite a wimp when paired with her...

Perhaps the thread should've been how many great scenes Sheree had!?!

As an actress she was okay. Nothing outstanding, she was no Maureen O'Hara for instance.

And frankly my dear I don't give a damn about April Stevens!! :innocent:
