[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 268930, member: 672"] It's a trait of cheap daytime soaps that an event leads to reaction of every cast member for multiple episodes. Dallas was different. Mysteries like Cliff possibly the father of John Ross were kept to a close number of characters. JR, Sue Ellen, Cliff living with the uncertainty. Pam/Bobby feeling uneasy if Digger makes a scene about the newborn grandson: [MEDIA=youtube]INwP1G2ZbKI[/MEDIA] It's the character driven storylines that made it so compelling instead of short term plot-driven reactions for drama. Of course, they missed a huge opportunity to explore Christopher's biological parents and grandmother. She should have sued for custody. They should have showed Christopher's darker character in TNT Dallas as well. Sue Ellen feeling responsible as his aunt by birth as well. Christopher being the bad guy, trying to prove he's a Ewing... endless "character-driven" possibilities... Instead we got Lisa Arden, "Is it because I'm adopted?" and a car bomb. [/QUOTE]
