[QUOTE="Rove, post: 279003, member: 100"] It's a shame Mickey was used to give drama to members of the Ewing family. Mickey's incident and outcome affected Sue Ellen, JR, Bobby, Ray, Donna and Lucy. While it all makes for good television Mickey's legacy was short lived rather than having a lingering affect on characters and the series. Once these characters served their usefulness; Kristin, Rebecca, Katherine, to name a few, the Ewing family simply moved on. Of course the exception to this rule was Jock. I would have kept Mickey alive but confined to a wheelchair. I would have kept Mickey and Lucy as a solid couple residing at Southfork. Mickey's presence is a constant reminder to others of their actions. JR was right when he said to Bobby and Ray none of them had clean hands when it came to Mickey. The idea of keeping Mickey and Lucy together forces her to wake up to the reality how brutal being a Ewing can be. Lucy however uses that energy and her 10% in Ewing Oil to create something for herself. The idea of Lucy working at Ewing Oil is daft, same goes for her stepping into the modelling world. It would have been best to have Lucy use the income from Ewing Oil and create her own start-up business. The concept the writers had run out of ideas for Lucy was lame. There was plenty of life in the character if they had kept Mickey alive. Watching a young couple forge ahead with life despite Mickey's handicap. The inevitable idea that one day Lucy might want children. Can Mickey father children? There was still plenty of life in Lucy. [/QUOTE]
