[QUOTE="Karin, post: 263608, member: 57167"] [B]1. John Ross[/B] Definitely the right outcome. If JR hadn't been John Ross father JR/SE wouldn't have stayed together and how much duller would Dallas have been if Sue Ellen had been with Cliff instead? Also being a father changed JR's character and gave him a softer side. It was much needed to add a complex layer to JR's character. He wasn't just a bad guy. He was a bad guy who loved his son and his father. It made him more human. [B]2. Ray[/B] It was the right call to make Ray Jock's son, although it did create a sticky situation with Lucy. [B]3. Pam[/B] I would have preferred if she had stayed Digger's daughter, as the retcon ruined the premise of the show. But I think they needed the Hutch McKinney plot to open up the possibility for Rebecca to show up. Also with the neurofibromatosis they had written themselves into a corner, so by making Hutch Pam's natural father they could get around that so if Bobby and Pam would have had a biological child that child would have been healthy. [B]4. Christopher[/B] I like that he was Jeff Faraday's son since that way both his parents were gone which removed the obstacles that Bobby and Pam were facing when adopting him.
