Message: <blockquote data-quote="Barbara Fan" data-source="post: 360426" data-attributes="member: 21">First and foremost there were 3 reasons I watched Dallas in the early days1st for BBG and then for Bobby and Pamela - who were my favourite couple and they had it all.Young, sexy, newly married and looked as if they couldnt keep their hands off one another and I will always say they were the Romeo and Juliet of DallasI also think that Victoria Principla was the sexiest and most stunning looking woman on the planet - she topped just about every poll out in the 80s and she was the Dallas Golden Girl,But above all that she was the most important FEMALE character on the show, after JR as the most important male actor on DallasPamela was the link, the one who joined it all up.The link - Bobby and Pam V their family at SF,  Barnes V Ewing, Digger and Cliff V Jock and JR - the link between the past, present and the futureThats why when Victoria Left - it was the biggest single loss of any character on the show - the link had gone and it was never the same again and it went downhill from there.I loved early Pam - and even VP said on Wogan "she had a little more fire" but she had varied storylines and I never had an issue with her acting, but I didnt think she could cry "well"Some of her storylines and the writing werent great for her and I will never hold it against VP for leaving, she jumped ship at the right time and she went on to even bigger success post Dallas and made megabucks, a very bright and shrewd cookie with a very level headed sense of business.  I do get the feeling her costars may have been a little jealous of her success.I also dont mind that she and PD may not have had the best of relationships off screen but on screen they did and it worked as Pam and Bobby.   It was believable and real and i loved them together.  I also loved her with Mark Graison too.In her final season She was  over protective of Christopher and was not the Pam of early years who would slap JR, tear off a stip of Jock and JR and more than hold her own in the Ewing householdFor me early Sue Ellen was too much of the eyes a rollin' and lips a tremblin' (that we used to imitate at school) but i think her acting improved as time went onI also loved that Pamela was the daughter Miss Ellie wanted and never had and was the one ME turned too - and that she was the daughter of 1st love DiggerIts funny because 20 years ago this forum was Sue Ellen dominated and it was a brave poster who said Pam  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Ive met a lot of the cast over the years and Im grateful for that but i never met the 2 i really wanted to; BBG and VP! There is still a chance but very slight but it would be a dream come true to finally meet the girl whose hair I copied including poodle perm through my schooldays and youth!!  She was the Golden Girl and the most talked about cast member by the mid 80s surpassing Larry Hagman, She really did have it all.</blockquote>
