Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karin" data-source="post: 158126" data-attributes="member: 57167">Interesting topic of conversation. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ksmile/babe/k0512.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":gotcha:" title="Gotcha    :gotcha:" data-shortname=":gotcha:" />Adding my two cents to it. First of all I definitely agree with [USER=36]@Miss Texas 1967[/USER] that if JR and Sue Ellen was a real life couple she should have left him since the relationship was really destructive.However since they are just a fictional couple I of course think they belong together and want to see them together. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ksmile/babe/k05142.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":kiss:" title="Kiss    :kiss:" data-shortname=":kiss:" />I also agree that Sue Ellen would never have cheated with Nick if she hadn't found out that JR was having an affair with Kimberly Cryder. That look on her face when she realizes that he's back to his cheating ways was just heartbreaking.[ATTACH=full]15869[/ATTACH]Moving back to [USER=6]@Sarah[/USER] 's original question. No I don't think JR would have actually married Kimberly Cryder. I get the feeling that he was just stringing her along to get what he wanted, which was access to her father's Weststar stock. He was a fool to get into bed with Kimberly in the first place but in JR's mind it was all for business. Besides they were both married to other people and JR had no intention of abandoning Sue Ellen for Kimberly. However what he hadn't counted on was that Kimberly was not happy with her marriage and for some reason wanted JR to marry her instead. This put JR in a tricky position and after Sue Ellen found out about him and Kimberly his marriage went cold.Sue Ellen was heartbroken when she learnt he was back to his cheating ways. But she was also stronger than before, which meant that she didn't react the way JR had anticipated when he set her up to find him with Kimberly.[ATTACH=full]15870[/ATTACH]I think JR as well as the viewer had expected Sue Ellen to fall apart after this. But she didn't.[ATTACH=full]15871[/ATTACH]In fact I remember watching this scene with my parents in the first broadcast and that my mom felt sorry for Sue Ellen when she got the key card. She started talking about how Sue Ellen had gone through this once before and I of course had no idea of what she was talking about and started asking a bunch of questions about what had happened earlier on in the show. Anyway I remember vividly that my mom sided with Sue Ellen in this battle and that I did too. We sided with Sue Ellen so much that we were annoyed when JR didn't end up dead after she had shot him. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/emb/t1813.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":embarrassed:" title="Embarrassed    :embarrassed:" data-shortname=":embarrassed:" />My dad didn't agree however and simply told us that of course JR couldn't die since then there wouldn't be a show. To him JR was Dallas.And well we're getting off topic here. But it's just a couple of things I remember from watching the show with my parents when I was a kid.Back to JR/SE. Ironically I think not even having Sue Ellen shooting JR made him stop wanting her![ATTACH=full]15873[/ATTACH]I mean just think of the scene after she had saved his life by telling Nick's dad the truth.[ATTACH=full]15872[/ATTACH]In that scene JR wants Sue Ellen and John Ross and him to have dinner together. He is trying to charm her, using the same tactics as he did during their first divorce. So well my guess is that if Linda hadn't chosen to leave Dallas when she did, JR/SE would have been remarried again and we'd never had to sit through the whole Vanessa debacle.</blockquote>
