The two actresses were like chalk and cheese. The producers didn't even attempt to try and hide the fact Miss Ellie had been recast. It was like they were thumbing their collective noses at Barbara.I know others have stated the characters of Gary, Jenna and Kristin were played by different actors but their initial roles were minor so by the time the character was reintroduced it wasn't of much concern. But recasting the role of Miss Ellie was just a major blunder. It was my first inkling something was off with Dallas behind the scenes.On a side note. While everyone else appeared to age in Dallas, in this clip Bobby (Patrick) appears to have found the fountain of youth.</blockquote>
