[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 258536, member: 672"] I loved Donna&Ray. Every show needs a stable couple and we got that during the prime years with Donna&Ray. Leave the marriage problems, affairs, split-ups and reconciliations to Jr&SueEllen and Bobby&Pam. It was a major mistake to let Susan Howard go. Especially after Victoria Principal left. Donna‘s role should have been strengthened during the later seasons when plots tended to get repetitive or just plain silly. She should have been the new nemesis for JR (with Pam gone). Ray and the family asking her to stay at Ewing Oil (like when Bobby got shot). JR digging in her history (always thought that her parents having died in a car crash was too convenient)..endless possibilities. I always liked her political connections with the Culvers. Dallas TNT missed a big opportunity to not include her in some capacity when Sue Ellen ran for governor or when they needed political influence. They probably would have used her as an extra. Without Donna the character of Ray became uninteresting. Never cared about his new house which he sold after 1-2 years to the McKays (as if he needed the money, and the land was given to him by Jock) or this strange relationship to Jenna. [/QUOTE]
