Love it when Miss Ellie tells off Sue Ellen’s selfish ass. Good character, but she could be VERY self serving on occasions.

Absolutely loved Steve Forrest on Dallas. What a fine actor he was.
I always think it was a crying shame that he never got to stay on Dallas as a re-cast Jock Ewing.
He did have big boots to fill as Jim Davis was a great actor too but I never felt this storyline or the Ben Stivers one from the dream season were an insult to Jim's memory. If anything, for me I saw it as a tribute to Jim to bring Jock back with another actor.
Loved both of them, may they both rest in peace.

Did you hear what Ray said, that even if he was the real Jock he would've disappeared off the face of the earth before he broke up a family like you have!
Prophetic, as that's what's about to happen.
I won't get into whether or not he was Jock or not, I'm sure that you're all quite aware of my viewpoint. I just find it really very sad that he had to walk away from his own family because they couldn't or wouldn't accept him because he looked so different because of the plastic surgery used to save his life following the chopper crash.
Excellent acting from both Steve Forrest and Steve Kanaly.

I think that a Jock Ewing recast could have created to some compelling storylines,Did you hear what Ray said, that even if he was the real Jock he would've disappeared off the face of the earth before he broke up a family like you have!

IE Miss Ellie and Clayton could have had more substantial stories.
If Jock Ewing heads Ewing Oil again, would JR and Bobby form a rival company?
If Jock Ewing doesn't win back Ewing Oil, would he ally with Cliff Barnes or another Ewing rival?
Cast a new character, an undisclosed son/daughter of Digger Barnes out to destroy the Ewings,
allying with Cliff Barnes, and/or one of the Ewings?
Ray is caught in the middle between Jock and Clayton
Does Anderson have an increased role in the show?
Jeremy Wendell tries to manipulate the situation to his advantage
I'm not comparing Jim Davis and Steve Forrest as actors, because both had long, terrific careers
with many, many great performances.
I think that some good(better?) storylines could have emerged.

Still love the hospital scene between JR and Kristin...that little vixen. Watch how she uses her body to tell JR, "But not from you, that's for sure," as she gazes of his paralyzed legs. I'd love to see the scripts to this scene. Was it hinted that Kristin would bend slightly, accentuating her breasts, great directing on the day or the actress Mary just giving it her all? Either way it was a stunning display to watch as she tortures JR by gently pushing the wheelchair across the room...and his reaction? "Bitch!"

I´d bet it was a suggestion of Haggie´s! Mary comes across as a very shy actress, at least at that time!

Actually it was Miss Piggy who told Mary Crosby to stick her chest out at any and every opportunity!

Nice choices - not least the tantalising glimpse of how magnetic Morgan Woodward could be when he was given some decent dialogue. Always thought he was under-utilised.

I agree Morgan W was a terrific actor. He could stand up to any character on the show. If Jim Davis had not been cast as Jock, MW would have been a terrific choice.
