[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 344530, member: 57984"] Given the title "The Mummy's Revenge," one assumes that it was a dig at Victoria and Katzman's semi-sidelining of her especially after Bobby came back. Victoria's acting since Spring of 1982 was actually quite good (Larry said years later that although Principal was green and inexperienced when DALLAS first started, and that he "didn't know if it was going to work", that by the time she left he thought "she was an excellent actress." (Actually, five years before she left, she improved so much essentially overnight, realizing what her performance needed --- relaxation and low-grade anger -- and then she was great). But David Jacobs said that Victoria didn't have the best relationship with the executives, and that while it shouldn't affect what happens on screen with the character, sometimes it does anyway. Pam was probably kept bandaged for weeks because there wasn't the usual spring hiatus planning time for the writers in 1987, and they went right into shooting the next season -- which means they had to shoot while they wrote, which is why the vibe and pacing for Season 11 is a bit off, and they had to make up their minds what to do with Pam's charred remains.
