[QUOTE="stevew, post: 287573, member: 130"] I actually agree with the age here because I think there would be more interest and drama from a younger sister instead of an older sister. I for one never minded J.R. having secrets not revealed on the original. Makes him more H. L. Hunt to me than we even saw in the original. My point for Marlilee is I wanted to explore the idea of a mother who was 1) very wealthy and strong willed on her own and 2) who wouldn't necessarily want to raise a child with J.R. as much as on her own and as she didn't seem the motherly type, shipping her children off might not be such a surprise. I'm also not sure I mind all that much her not being gone for 9 months to hide the pregnancy. It seems to me she was unseen for a large bit and really a person can hide a pregnancy up until the last few months, depending on the circumstances. And Marilee appeared to be vein enough to hide it and also very capable of being discrete about it. Anyway just a thought. Most of the other women on the show either wouldn't carry J.R.'s child or were too weak to bother with in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
