[QUOTE="Toni, post: 288506, member: 82"] Upon Ms. Curran´s book, the flashback of Kristin´s death was filmed once the previous season´s filming was over. As you all know, Mary, Linda and Victoria did the "Dead Woman Pool Splash", so to say. Then, in "spring of 1981", they started shooting the rest of that scene (Cliff and JR with the police at Southfork) and, probably, other interiors. There were a few exterior scenes obviously filmed in Texas in that episode, so considering all the dates we have, strictly, Mr. Davis passed away a few days after they returned to Texas after the hiatus. Funnily enough, that season featured a lot of exterior Texan scenes, more frequent than in previous seasons. And let´s not forget the Southern Cross... I´d say they didn´t actually know how to handle it so they used the South America trip and the letters. Maybe (I´m speculating here) Mrs. Davis didn´t like their first ideas (whatever they might have been) and it took them longer to find the right way: the helicopter crash and the tribute to Jim Davis. Some people have also mentioned that a couple of actors refused to take Jock´s role (but I find the recasting route unlikely). [/QUOTE]
