[QUOTE="Mustard, post: 138423, member: 46"] I wouldn't have minded Margaret Michaels playing Pam regularly from Season 11 DVD onwards, say after taking off the bandages. It would have worked to some extent, because she has a strong resemblance to Victoria Principal, and it would have maintained the big positive of keeping the dynamics properly intact in the Dallas storylines. I'm watching the late seasons now (currently on Season 13 DVD, with the Jeanne O'Brien episodes), and while there are some feel good character moments by this stage in Dallas history, the wider narrative of the show by this point is a mess. Southfork feels very bare at this stage of Dallas history, and it will get even worse when Lucy, Miss Ellie and Clayton go. Miss Ellie and Clayton are rarely at Southfork anymore, anyway. Donna Reed replacing Barbara Bel Geddes was different to the Michaels/Principal situation, because Reed played Miss Ellie very differently. Yes. How do they explain Wes Parmalee having the same injuries on his body as Jock Ewing? Wyatt Haines wouldn't have the same injuries as Jock, would he? The Wes Parmalee storyline may have pulled a few emotional strings, but it was a bit of a mess when looked at properly. [/QUOTE]
