[QUOTE="80's Cha Cha Cha, post: 234289, member: 6964"] Hi! I am new to the boards and I found your theory to be interesting, because I was just talking about this to a co-worker, who watched Dallas as well. This plot is almost the crux of the series. That and Jock was almost always being accused of not being upfront about something, with regards to how he happened to end up as sole owner of Ewing Oil. The thing is, there came a point with me, after the like umpteenth re-watch, where I decided I didn't believe Digger. Jock, I believe at one point said that Digger and someone else, had shares, got drunk, sold them for drink and Jock had to buy them back. And after Jock got the shares back, he was probably in no mood to cut Digger back in on anything. If anything, I felt sorry for Cliff. This was his father and he believed he hadn't been treated right and it drove him to the point where he lived his own life to avenge his father, when he probably didn't need to be avenged. Digger just messed up and lost out. I remember during the later years, which I did not enjoy watching, somehow Cliff managed to get part of Ewing Oil and was actually at the office with J.R. and Bobby. But I've also noticed that when an actor dies on a drama, and he is the patriarch as well, like Jim Davis was, the writers go bonkers when it comes to the supposed unknowns. And they can range from illegitimate children to lost documents and wills. I believed Jock was telling the truth. [/QUOTE]
