Dallas Couples JR & Sue Ellen - Swoonalicious Appreciation Thread

[Karin]

Sorry to burst your bubble Sarah. But April did cheat with a married man. JR. She slept with him in season 10 (DVD).
However I guess we can forgive her for that considering how cute Bobby & April turned out to be once they got together. I really loved their romance.

I think JR only slept with Kimberly Cryder because of business. He was never interested in marrying her or even sleeping with her. He only did it since he thought it was the only way to get Ewing Oil back and it was stupid since it was the other way around. Sleeping with Kimberly not only ruined his chances of getting Ewing Oil back when Sue Ellen sided with Kimberly but it also wrecked his marriage.

I wish they had had JR/SE team up together instead to take back Ewing Oil. They are much better together as a power couple.

Obviously I know this Karin, but was referring to Pam and Bobby when I said that. You don't have to remind me about JR and her - I watched the whole show from childhood remember?

I was referring to April and the fact that she didn't steal Bobby from Pam - but is somehow still hated?? This I have never understood. There's no reason for Pam fans to hate April - she married Bobby when he was a free man. My post stated that I would be interested to see if Mandy had cheated with Bobby how Pam fans would feel about her then.

*sigh* I'm obviously not very good at explaining things.

Says the person who writes some of the best fan fiction ever. No worries, Sarah. All the plot device chicks like Mandy and Kimberly no longer matter. They were left in the dust a long, long time ago as Sue Ellen and JR's story went well past them. Linda and Larry's real friendship outshines all of that, too. You just keep right on celebrating them all you want.

Me, too! And they are! I always wished the dark-haired, controlled, calculating Sue Ellen of Linda's final season could've been teamed up with JR some way. Instead, we got all that silly Haleyville and Hollywood stuff that kept them apart and Linda and Larry rarely sharing scenes. What a waste of their on-screen chemistry.

 

[Karin]

I know what you mean. JR/SE were magic together and that was in a huge part thanks to Larry and Linda and their awesome friendship.



Also @Goldie and @Mrs. JR Ewing and anyone else from the old gang who occasionally check in here. How about clicking like on Sarah's first post in this thread so we can boost our thread rating a little?

I liked Cally but she and JR was a total mismatch and I never understood exactly how much in the original run due to being so young then. As an adult however I can totally see what a mismatch they were. The Haleyville stuff was ridiculous!

Oh and @Sarah I get what you mean about Mandy. I guess a reason why Bobby and Pam fans seems to like her more than Holly is because Holly made a play for Bobby and Mandy never did. But yeah I bet if Mandy had been dating Bobby after Pam disappeared instead of April the Bobby and Pam fans would have disliked her too!

Aw thanks Goldie that's very kind of you to say. Appreciate that very much.

I totally agree with you - I just get so fed up with people championing someone so horrid, just because she never tried to steal Precious Pammy's husband. The hypocrisy is staggering at times when you think April never actually did anything to hurt Pam!

 

[Karin]

That's true @Sarah. April and Pam barely interacted at all. I can think of maybe four occasions where they even shared a scene or were at the same event. Their first meeting at the Oil Baron's Ball, at Bobby and Pam's wedding, at the BBQ and at the trial where April won her shares in Ewing Oil.

Anyway today it's of course Linda's birthday so I figured I'd bump up this thread with an old Sue Ellen scan.

She looks gorgeous in that picture!!!!! Thanks Karin Schill!!!!!

 

[Sarah]

That's one of the very first pictures I had of her @Karin Schill

Happy Birthday my Angel on Earth - love you so much

 

[Alexia]

I think it's from that photoshoot with Larry where they both look amazing!!!!!

 

[Sarah]

Everytime I see them, my heart lifts a wee bit.

Same here!!!!

 

[Sarah]

It's so funny, my 'relationship' with them is nearly as long as my relationship with my parents

 

[Karin]

I know what you mean Sarah. Dallas was the first TV theme that I learnt to recognize.
So although I wasn't allowed to watch the show until I was older I kept seeing the images of the actors in the opening credits all throughout my early childhood and I remember how when I first began watching the show and my mom commented on that Pam was gone from the opening credits I could pinpoint that she was the one who was walking across the lawn...

So somehow those early images stuck with me.

Anyway here's another JR/SE photo I've found online:


Someone mentioned something about a party?

 

[i love jr ewing]

Great picture.

 

[Karin]

I just stumbled over this on my computer. A photo from a Swedish underground station...



2012 sure started out as a great year for us Dallas fans!

 

[Sarah]

I'd have stolen that @Karin Schill - Irish woman arrested in Swedish heist.

 

[Karin]

Well unless I am mistaken (it was a friend who snapped the photo for me!) the commercial posters are usually positioned on the other side of the rails which of course makes them harder to steal!

Here's another one that I photograped myself in another town in Sweden. It was placed outside of the football stadium right next to a main road where lots of people pass by:

 

[Sarah]

Have you met me @Karin Schill ? Of course you have.

In my time I have stolen many a Dallas thing, including the removal of a Patrick Duffy poster from inside a theatre in Woking circa 2007 , various Linda and Larry articles from public places and 2 life size statues of JR and Sue Ellen from a well known Irish television network.

That above pic of Larry is amazing

 

[Karin]

Of course I've met you @Sarah.
You know that comment actually remind me of the first time I met you back in 2006 and you were showing me the theatre where Linda had performed during "The Graduate" and talking about meeting her as I was filming you with the student tv camera I had borrowed from my university. Anyway when I showed the home video to my parents when I got home they were all like "oops it looks like a bus is about to run over your friend" because there was a bus passing by like right behind your back (I think we were standing on a zebra crossing) and you were so wrapped up in telling me about Linda that you didn't even notice it. So yeah come to think of it I can totally picture you trying to steal that JR poster.
