Dallas Couples JR & Sue Ellen - Swoonalicious Appreciation Thread

[Alexia]

I also think this speaks volumes about them both:

I love that scene!!!! They kinda hinted at a reconciliation there or a possible love triangle with Cally (who witnesses the whole exchange from the balcony if I'm right), but decided to break them up for good instead...:hair:

 

[Alexia]

Sarah, that portrait of Sue Ellen is amazingly beautiful!!!!:site:

 

[Sarah]

Oooo a love triangle with Cally. What a good idea. I might try writing about that. Cally will lose of course.

 

[Karin]

Oh do write it Sarah. I would love to read a fanfic with a lovetriangle beween JR, Cally and Sue Ellen.

Alexia, you are right, Cally did watch them from the balcony so a love triangle was actually hinted at. I love that scene too as JR acted just like he used to when they were divorced the first time and he would court her using John Ross as an excuse.

Also all this talk about JR, Cally and Sue Ellen makes me think of two things.

First one is this picture:



I know it sucks that JR is marrying someone else, but if you over look that I actually think it speaks volumes about how JR and Cally doesn't stand a chance as Sue Ellen and John Ross will always stand in between them!

Also look at how happy the groom looks - NOT!


Also this reaction shot of Sue Ellen, it's so painfully obvious she isn't over JR!

Then the second thing a love triangle between JR, Sue Ellen and Cally make me think of is this old music video I made that compared the relationships:

Great art of Sue Ellen holding his watch, did that actually happen on the show?

It makes me think of this scene where Sue Ellen found out that Bum had drawn that JR painting:

Of course, she will!!!!

Love the video Karin!!!!

And yeah, JR looks like he'd like to be anywhere but here in that picture...

 

[Sarah]

It's so painfully obvious it's not what either of them wanted. I sometimes play it over in my head how Sue Ellen would have felt if she had NOT gone and if he would have realised then and went to her. I even wrote about it once.

You make an excellent point Karin, about the positioning of John Ross and Sue Ellen in that still.

Who is that silly smiling bitch behind Sue Ellen? I'll give her something to smile about.

 

[Sarah]

His despair as she left:

 

[Alexia]

His despair as she left:

JR did look sad, but he had mistreated Sue Ellen so much in the past seasons that I was kinda happy & relieved for her when she finally left... Even though I HATED that 'movie of their life together' plotline! They should have given Sue Ellen a better send-off storyline!!

 

[Sarah]

I agree @Alexia - I would have had her come to him in all honesty and tell him how much she had loved him and how she felt that nothing she ever did had been good enough for him. I wouldn't have had her take Ewing Oil from him as this made him angry and hurt him so much it took him too long to get over it. I would have had her give him a sweet kiss goodbye and leave with no hostility or revenge in her mind. It only made her very bitter and I didn't like seeing that.

 

[Karin]

I agree with you both. The way Sue Ellen left was not ideal. I mean moving to England with Don Dorkwood? (citing @Presea here! )
I don't like how they made Sue Ellen so bitter and out for revenge either. Although I did love how she saved JR's life by telling Nicholas father that his death had been an accident. That showed that she no longer wanted JR dead and at least that was something!

I think the movie plot was ok. But I was disappointed that nothing more ever came out of it. I mean why make a movie and then never release it?

Who is that silly smiling bitch behind Sue Ellen? I'll give her something to smile about.

A wild guess is that she's an extra who's delighted to actually be on an episode of Dallas!

Love the video Karin!!!!

Thank you.

Love these pics Karin Schill!!!!

 

[Alexia]

That photo of them walking in the studio, posted on Linda's Twitter, brings tears to my eyes everytime...!!

 

[Karin]

Oh yeah that photo is so bittersweet. It makes me think that they waited way too long with bringing back Dallas. I mean imagine how good it could have been if they had revived the show like 5 years earlier or something?

In fact it was announced already in 2009, so it's a shame it took three years to develop as Dallas without Larry just wasn't the same.

Thanks for posting the article Sarah. It's lovely.

Here's some scans:

Love the pics!!!!

 

[Karin]

I don't remember if I've posted this one before and well if I have I bet it's not viewable anymore thanks to photobucket!

Seriously with so much of this thread with broken links I figured it's time to post something new to swoon over.

 

[Sarah]

You can see the chemistry between them is there, even at that young stage of the show

This pic remains one of my favourites:

Great photo! No doubt that their deep friendship off camera shined through in photos too!
I still chuckle when I think of how Linda and Maj used to call each other "wife" when they would talk on the phone!

I love Linda's dress! Did she ever wear it on "Dallas"? Women with a "small" bosum wear these kinds of dresses so well!
