[QUOTE="stevew, post: 287880, member: 130"] I agree "either wealthy enough to not ever need or want JR's money OR someone who hated him so much or was so scared of him she wouldn't want him near her child." Katherine fits both categories - possibly, as she was my guess, plus in TNT's version this child could lay claim to the shares in the company that Cliff gave to Pamela, but I wanted something different. I think Holy would have had an abortion - agree, though she was an other idea Julie Grey fits - I don't think she was wealthy enough to pull it off but should could have been afraid enough of JR to keep it a secret, but I'm looking for someone more like the later, wealthy enough to pull it off. I find Laurel to be the most intriguing choice though - can some one please explain Laurel, maybe refresh my memory of here. Anything after the dream season to me is a blur so I'm not sure here, or maybe she's before that, I just can't recall the name. I do think Marilee fits part of that: wealthy enough to not ever need or want JR's money, and while totally hating him so much certainly concerned if not scared of him when it comes to her child that she wouldn't want him near her child. I think of it this way, Marilee finds out she's pregnant with JR's kid, does she have an abortion? IF I say no, then what? Does she use this child? Yes if the opportunity presents itself, but maybe not. This is her child too, not just JR's. Lets say she has two son's off at boarding school, which I can defiantly see, could she go off somewhere, say New York, for a few months and have a baby, put the baby up in an apartment with a nanny and fly back all the time to see her child? Yes of course she had the means. JR's dealings with Sue Ellen over John Ross could certainly be a motive. Maybe she was even playing the long game: raise this child to be hers, loyal to her and then surprise J.R. with a child, one he couldn't deny, one from a prominent Texas family, we all know how important that was to him. I don't know, but that's my thinking so far. [/QUOTE]
