[QUOTE="Lastkidpicked, post: 135786, member: 237"] I agree, and the writers could use this to their advantage. Imagine Pam making a miraculous recovery, although she needed plastic surgery as part of the healing process. Pam and Bobby decide that they have been given a second chance at life, and they are going to take full advantage of this second chance. Bobby and Pam announce to the family that while they appreciate everything family money has given them, they want to make a life that they built on their own. Pam and Bobby move to a small ranch house near Dallas to see if they can build a life together starting from scratch. Imagine the juxtaposition of J.R. closing a big deal over steak dinner, while we see Bobby driving a dusty pickup truck out to the oil fields setting up contracts one at a time to build his business. And the juxtaposition of Sue Ellen, surrounded by nannies and maids, while we see Pam struggling to load kids into the carpool for school. And in the evening, Sue Ellen is in one place while J.R. is in another, wining and dining a big client. This placed against the scene of Pam and Bobby working together in a cheap diner to give a proposal to a young oilfield services company. As they come to an agreement, Bobby pauses, "I don't want to be trading on my Daddy's name." The owner of the young oil company responds, "If this project works out, you'll be trading on YOUR name." Pam and Bobby smile at each other, and they radiate a feeling of, "It's us against the world". Of course, there are problems. But again, those problems are great storylines. We can see J.R. and the others solving problems using the family wealth and power. We see Bobby and Pam relying on each other to get through the problems that life and business throws at them. It would have been interesting to see a long-term story line of Bobby and Pam starting out with nothing so we could watch them build a life and business together. [/QUOTE]
