[QUOTE="Brian Kinney, post: 370484, member: 3219"] I really don't see the drama in the reports that led to this thread. Principal and Duffy worked together. Just think of your experiences at any work place and you can relate that most are collegial, distant but friendly - just no friends. And if you head to the next job you probably never hear from them again with some rare exceptions. I don't think it's fair to describe Duffy as "mean" just because he isn't always smiling or can be rude if he's unnerved. Especially if you don't know more about the situation when it happened. When I worked as a journalist, covering film and TV, I encountered some deranged fans trying to get close to actors I had to interview. They followed them into toilets and wondered they didn't get an autograph there. Some fans interrupted serious talks in restaurants where they weren't even guests, some people just don't know to keep distance and take everything personal. Team Duffy here. Victoria Principal seemed to have a good connection with Ken Kercheval and she wasn't a fan of practical jokes on set (probably a reason why Hagman, Duffy and John Beck preferred other acting partners). I couldn't stand the boys in school who were always telling stupid jokes (and laughed the hardest about them) or farted loud. Of course I never wanted to meet them again. And I never cared much for Pam but I have a lot of sympathy how Principal handled her exit from [I]Dallas[/I] and never returned. The final straw was the offer Pam made Jenna to get the baby - that was a character assassination and the actress must've realized then she doesn't have any influence to change the writing for her when it was needed (as Donna Mills could on [I]Knots Landing[/I] with their babies story or Jane Wyman's changes to the final episode of [I]Falcon Crest[/I]). Imagine you're considered by many viewers as the second most important character but no one listens to your discomfort? But Principal did a 'Vanity Fair' shooting with the cast in 1995 and the 2004 reunion, so she's more gracious than I'm to former classmates from school. [/QUOTE]
