Other actors after Bobby woke up?

Big fan from when Dallas was on TV. Been watching each episode now again, in order so I know the entire story. Now at Season One.

To be honest, I was a fan and followed the story back then after Bobby died. I accepted it. When it was all a dream, how did all the other actors feel? I mean, they were out of a job, a good successful TV series. And I'm sure writers already have the storyline (before Bobby came back) planned out. Anyone know what the storyline would have been?

One thing I'm definitely certain of the Ben Stivers character played by Steve Forrest really would've stayed on the show as Jock Ewing. :)

I've always wondered what would have become of Tony. It would certainly have been hard to find a plot for him. Perhaps he would have been sent to a boarding school that suited his needs.

The boy who played Tony was the only real loser. Although I've always hated how the others had their storylines wound back - especially Sue Ellen and also Ray and Donna.

John Beck got a raw deal too! He probably thought he'd be back after marrying Pam.

At least Katzman had the decency to phone him & tell him that he wouldn't be back for season ten. :)

I wonder if they gave John Beck any kind of incentive to keep it quiet. Because all he had to do was say to the press, “I’m not on the show next season” and everyone would have immediately known that they were going with the dream explanation.

Beck seems bright enough to know that if he did that, Katzman would make sure that he'd have a very difficult time finding work again.

Yeah I think he knew to keep his mouth shut.

His departure from Dallas didn't really dent his career because he had plenty of work post Dallas.

He was certainly a good actor and I believe he's retired these days. :)
