Message: <blockquote data-quote="Justine" data-source="post: 272154" data-attributes="member: 404">I think Patricia's involvement in Christopher's early years was such a missed opportunity, especially in season 5. She could have been even more manipulative than before and stirred trouble between Sue Ellen and the family, maybe convincing her to fight for custody of Christopher so she could guarantee even more financial support from J.R. - I suppose the main reason the writers didn't take that route was because Pam needed a baby and they were never too interested in dynamics that stretched too far from the core family members. Ultimately though, I don't think Patricia held any real interest in John Ross or Christopher beyond their status in Dallas as Ewing heirs.</blockquote>
