Is this a promotional picture for the show or just Larry and Linda being cute?

From memory it's from a magazine. It's one of my favourites and I first saw it when I was around 11. The background is similar to the one of them in their cowboy gear :)

*Yes JR I know you aren't no cowboy*.

Look at how she's looking at him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it when the difference in their height is evident. It wasn't always on the show because of her heels and camera angles.

Wow.. look at how he is leaning in to kiss her. And how she’s enjoying him doing so. Beautiful.

I’ve hit a bit of a slump again watching some old scenes :(

What if JR really was going to leave Sue Ellen for the Winger Tramp? Like what if he would have had Sue Ellen not bought Valentines?? What if he only stayed for John Ross?

Help! :confused::(

Deep down I think both of them used staying for John Ross as an excuse to not fully let the other go. In the end, Sue Ellen just couldn't take the pain he caused her anymore. If he truly wanted to leave her for Mandy, he'd have left sooner without a divorce. I dont think Sue Ellen buying Valentine would have mattered in the long run. It just sped up the process of him dumping that tramp...:D

Why Sue Ellen though? What did she ever do to him? Has he married another woman would his behaviour have been different? I tend not to think so but I do wonder. I think the letter he wrote her made it evident in the end how regretful he was...

She was still his number 1 though right? I get terribly upset over some of these storylines sorry. At the end of the day he’s the one with the issue right.. not her?

I can’t allow myself to believe he didn’t love her even when she sold him out over WestStar.

No doubt she is number 1 to him.

I think the Valentine's plot was good. But I think what happened in the dream season was better. I mean there JR fell in love with Sue Ellen all over again and left Mandy for another woman. The other woman being Sue Ellen. I love that scene where Mandy is trying to seduce JR in the bubble bath and he walks away since he's not interested. He wanted Sue Ellen, not Mandy.

JR had many women in his life. But yes Sue Ellen was the most special one. She was his wife, he married her twice and yes she was his number one.
The only other wife he ever had was Cally and he'd never married her if he wasn't under gun-point! :Clol:
It was a shot-gun wedding since her brothers thought she might be pregnant and that was it.

I think that speaks volumes.

Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone. :) I love this thread dedicated to JR and Sue Ellen. :) They remind me of Nikki and Victor from the daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless. :)Original Dallas rocks. :)

Why do you prefer dream???

I'm agonizing over a line the Tramp said to Sue Ellen - he loves my body. She loved herself!!!!

Well he loved Sue Ellen's more you ho bag!!!

God I hate her. If I die suddenly can someone make sure my spirit is cleansed of her evil.

Thank you. Amen.

I prefer the Dream Season because Sue Ellen didnt scheme to get rid of the Winger tramp. JR fell back in love with her and finally seemed like he'd changed. Plus I love the blue sheet scene so very much;)
