[QUOTE="Justine, post: 274787, member: 404"] Sue Ellen's miscarriage always feels like a missed opportunity for her and J.R. to have had a daughter but, if that had been the case, we probably wouldn't have been blessed with one of Linda's best performances in the dream season. I like what I remember of Lucy's abortion storyline - it felt quite fitting for the character. Maybe the writers would have had more to explore with the character in later seasons if she had realised she was pregnant with Mickey's child after he died - that certainly would have made his death all the more traumatic. I do think the way the series panned out worked quite realistically though. Donna was an ambitious woman, so it fit that she had a later-in-life pregnancy. Pam obviously had her issues, Sue Ellen too - the only 'mom' character I think of in [I]Dallas[/I] aside from Miss Ellie is Jenna (and she didn't hold much interest for me, so Charlie and Lucas were more than enough children in that respect). Then, I suppose if the writers hadn't spun Katherine into crazyville maybe she could have had a Ewing baby, from J.R. or Bobby take your pick. [/QUOTE]
