[QUOTE="Luke_Krebbs_Ewing, post: 354654, member: 64"] It was very short sighted. Steve Forrest was such a good actor too. I don't subscribe to the notion that he wasn't gruff enough in his portrayal as Jock because an actors performance is only as good as the scripts that they're given. Forrest really shone on the show, his portrayal was believable even if some thought the storyline was a bit outlandish and over the top. It was no more OTT than the Mummy Pam storyline of the following season. The Producers just got cold feet and chickened out on seeing the storyline through the way it was originally intended. Still it was one of the better and more dramatic storylines of the show, well in my opinion at least. I guess it's all down to the individual fan watching the show as some of them were quite openly hostile about Jim Davis being replaced as Jock. Both actors played the role really well. :( [/QUOTE]
