[QUOTE="CryptCreeper72, post: 389400, member: 5055"] Dallas left a lot of “loose threads” out there over the years. Here's some I would have liked to see be tied up. Anyone have others? * Christopher being Sue Ellen's blood nephew. I think it was a huge missed opportunity not to have Christopher discover this in season eleven (after Pam disappeared). He was already dealing with being abandoned by his mother, imagine him finding out who his real mother was and that Bobby had been hiding it from him all those years. I think it would have been a lot more interesting for Patricia to come back and Sue for custody rather than bring in Lisa Alden. * Ray and Sue Ellen's one night stand. The whole thing was just dropped and forgotten. What a huge missed dramatic opportunity. JR should have found out. Can you imagine how great it would have been to see JR react to the fact that the first time his wife cheated on him, it was with his brother? And why not pair Sue Ellen with Ray instead of Jenna? That could have been priceless. * Parmelee. We don't need to talk about that one again, it's been discussed to death on this forum - but we never got to know what he told Miss Ellie and that storyline never was closed. * What happened to Katherine? She showed up at Pam’s hospital room then was never heard from again. Where did she go? Did she have anything to do with Pam’s disappearance? * Mandy just walks away. Dallas spent years building up the character, making viewers believe she was the ONE woman who could take JR from Sue Ellen for good. She comes back to Dallas as a successful actress with the goal of winning JR back. Then, Sue Ellen fires her and she just disappears, even though she promised Sue Ellen she would be back. She's never seen or heard from again and instead we get Kimberly, Cally, and Vanessa - none of whom could be taken seriously as a real love for JR. * Lucy's rape and abortion. It happened, then is never mentioned again. In later seasons, we see Lucy flounder around with nothing to do. How great would it have been to finally see her accept and deal with what HAD to have been significant emotional and physical trauma. What if the reason she never had children is because of emotional scarring from the rape or physical scaring from the abortion procedure? Anyway, these are my top loose threads that could have been used to make the later years of Dallas much more in teresting. [/QUOTE]
