Should Jock have been re-cast immediately after Jim Davis passed away?

[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 335423, member: 7"] No, I don't think should've been recast, and the producers' decision not to let Wes be Jock was probably wise. As others have said, I think Jock's death was more beneficial and fueled DALLAS more, at least story-wise, than had Jim Davis lived or the role been given to another actor. This would've been interesting. Imagine the melodrama that could've been drawn out with Jock and Miss Ellie splitting up. Had Jim Davis lived, the two could've divorced --- or at least came close to it --- and if Davis still ended up passing, there could've been so much regretful drama dished out towards Miss Ellie. Imagine the meaty stories Barbara Bel Geddes could've knocked out of the park. [/QUOTE]
