[QUOTE="Pamela_E, post: 293930, member: 315"] James and Michelle felt like they were dragging Dallas into a new era. Plus all my friends were majorly crushing on him at the time. So they were doing something right which was resonating with younger people. The show was missing a generation. Back in 1978 there was Pam and Bobby, plus Lucy. Then they l got older and the gap never filled. The biggest issue was that it came so late in the day. Over in Knots Landing we had a whole bunch of younger ones from Olivia, Paige, etc etc. Dallas was stuck, the next generation were too young. So it was right they introduced some new blood. That's why I always thought it was unfortunate and rather short sighted that they wrote out Charlie. There is always something quite poignant when non blood relatives have a parental connection. She finally became interesting and had dialogue that didn't talk about Darius but was carted off. Anyway I don't ever recall questioning Sasha's acting ability at the time. It was only through discussion years later it became a thing. [/QUOTE]
