[QUOTE="Grangehill1, post: 445602, member: 833"] JR spent so long promising Mandy that he would get rid of Sue Ellen and have her move to Southfork eventually. But it never happened. In season 10 they split up yet Mandy returned AGAIN at the end to try and get him back but it didn’t work. It seemed he truely loved Sue Ellen. And like he said if it would have been anybody he left Sue Ellen for it would have been Mandy. And then season 11 rolls along and within 5 minutes JR is more than happy to dump Sue Ellen and promise everything to Kimberly Cryder just to get West star. Why????? From memory he didn’t even try and argue about what Kimberly wanted. And Kimberley was a terrible character who had zero chemistry with Jar (unlike Mandy.) Leonard Katzman and the writers really dumped on JR and Ellen with this storyline. They’d spent so long getting them back together just to throw it away again. And what a season to throw it away. We’d already seen just a few episodes before the end of Ewing oil, the departures of Donna and Pam, plus a bit earlier Jamie and Jack and Mandy all leaving. Too much change too quickly for the audience. So to split up JR and Sue Ellen AGAIN so soon was a massive misfire. Why didn’t they keep JR and Sue Ellen together? What was gained by splitting them dramatically? Even introducing Nicholas Pearce as Sue Ellen’s lover seems temporary as they killed him off at the end of the season. So what was the point to it all? Season 11 has always been my least favourite. I think it’s just awful. The regular characters don’t interact with each other and there’s just too Much change. As I’ve said many times on this forum as well, the cliffhanger should have been JR and Nick fighting and the gun goes off. Nick goes over the balcony and then JR turns to find Sue Ellen has been shot by the stray bullet. Th how it should have ended. But the way JR and Sue Ellen split up was a huge mistake. [/QUOTE]
