Despite all the fighting and all the things he did to her, J.R. without Sue Ellen was not J.R. Go back and watch season 12 (13 dvd) if you can bare it. And count how many times Sue Ellen’s name is mentioned by JR in that season after she left. You think the writers knew what a mistake it was that Sue Ellen was gone? I’m sure they did. One of the major dynamics of the show was now lost, and things would never be the same. I had nothing against Cally, but she wasn’t Sue Ellen for J.R. She never could be. Despite all of his cheating and manipulating and treating her horribly, J.R. needed Sue Ellen. The actors played them beautifully, making them so much fun. Were they always likable as a couple? No. I’ll admit there were times I even hated them LOL. They were so polarizing. I would watch back then and beg Sue Ellen to leave him. I felt like she put up with way too much in those early years. They definitely had a unique marriage. But that uniqueness was such a huge part of the shows success. I never saw the chemistry between J.R. and Mandy. And I think he would’ve cheated on her just the same. A J.R.-Mandy marriage would’ve been very short. Sarah, I’m very sorry about your mother. Mine passed away 12 years ago and I’m still devastated, so I can relate. Just take it one day at a time and I promise you it does get easier. And I’m sure you know that everyone on this board is here for you!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
