Lucy was a waste of a character kind of like Bliss Colby on the Colbys and Amanda Carrington on Dynasty. There were possibilities wasted by the writers.

I believe Lucy was warned about con men and she even got some education in that department through her experience Allan Beam and then with Eddie the construction worker she was sleeping with while he was also sleeping with Betty.

Lucy knew about con men, but Casey Denault was apparently designed to be a con man so good that Lucy couldn't see through it and would have gotten taken for a ride had it not been for April's help. Knowing about con men is one thing, but being able to detect them is another.

While Casey Denault was supposed to be a very skilled con man, I don't know if the actor convinced you that he was "that guy." Did you find the actor's performance convincing? Whether it was all the actor's fault or a combination of the fault of the script as well as the actor, I didn't find the character of Casey Denault as being convincing enough to where I could believe he was as good of a con man as he was supposed to be.

Kenny Coyote, I love your assesstment and agree with you. Yes it was hard to take the actor seriously in the role maybe because I had seen him in other roles previous.

I didn't mind Chris Atkins in Dallas, he was great eye candy.

Right, I don't tend to fast forward any Dallas episodes at all.

When I watch a boxset of any of the seasons they get watched from start to finish.

However there's some season's I watch more than others like season's five & ten because of some of the gripping storylines in them like the battle for Ewing Oil following Jock's death or his apparent resurrection from the dead!

I'm not really a fan of the fourteenth & final season as you can tell the show is winding down via the storylines in preparation for taking it off the air. It was a shadow of it's former self in that final season. :(

Yes!!!
I hated the fact that they used Lucy in that way. I mean, if they were going to go through all the trouble to bring her back, might as well give her good, solid storylines, not a fill-in being the girl on Casey's arm! He was not even good looking either!

The peter storyline was fine, it was nice to see the gals have flings with younger romps. JR certainly did!

Anything with Lucy after her wedding. Anything with Mitch, anything with Miss Ellie post Clayton... after the dream season especially. Zzzzzzz
