[QUOTE="Luke_Krebbs_Ewing, post: 310465, member: 64"] I'm thinking it was a missed opportunity by the show's Producer's not to keep Steve Forrest as a re-cast Jock Ewing on the show. Even though they tried again in season ten with him playing Wes Parmalee, Jock's return ultimately got messed around with the return of Patrick Duffy as Bobby Ewing. Would the show have been better off if Duffy had not returned and the original season nine cliffhanger had aired instead. Miss Ellie would've found Jock's things in Ben Stiver's bunkhouse, where upon Ben would've walked in and revealed himself to be Jock. A version of this cliffhanger was re-filmed again in season ten when Steve's character was now Wes Parmalee but this was only after Philip Capice, Peter Dunne, James H. Brown and Joel J. Feugenbaum where shown the door once Hagman wanted both Patrick Duffy and Leonard Katzman back! Could Dallas have survived longer with Steve Forrest as Jock, whether the first Ben character or as Wes Parmalee in season ten? I think it was a wasted opportunity. I know that many fans where upset that Jim Davis was about to be replaced and felt it was an insult to his memory. I felt it was more of a tribute to him if Jock was brought back with another actor, in this case Steve Forrest who was a fine actor.. What do you all think? Was Dallas right to renege on making Wes Jock after all? Bobby's return effectively helped nix Steve Forrest from remaining on Dallas as a recast Jock Ewing, should they have followed through on the storyline with Wes? Or not brought Bobby back at all and have season nine end on the original cliffhanger where Ben is revealed to be Jock? What do you all think? :) [ATTACH type="full"]33912[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
