[QUOTE="Sarah, post: 207140, member: 6"] Thank goodness to get some real discussion going thanks [USER=404]@Justine[/USER] ;) If I have to hear anymore about how JR populated the nation or Mandy's departure was responsible for the decline in Dallas storylines, I'm done here! I agree with you - I think by this point in their relationship he hadn't been paying enough attention to her and had really begun to take her for granted. Because she was so clever in turning it on it's head and coming up with the Valentines plan, and because he maybe believed she didn't care enough at that point to want to save the relationship, he didn't seem to suspect her. I think it is a combination of these points and him ONCE AGAIN not realising what a power couple they could have been with her intelligence (which he very often didn't acknowledge) and his power. So he didn't even suspect her when she ran into him and completely fell for it hook line and sinker. Also I do feel it was the beginning of a real change in JR - he didn't suspect her with the WestStar deal either - for a man with such supposed intelligence himself, he should have learned from Valentines, that Sue Ellen could indeed be, [B][I]'just as smart, and just as devious'[/I][/B] as he could.
