[QUOTE="CeeCee72, post: 337757, member: 5055"] I guess what I really am curious about is.. Did JR love his parents? Or just crave their approval. We see almost ZERO affection between him and Ellie (save the dream season which doesn't count). I think Ellie WANTED to believe there was good in him (when he was wooing Sue Ellen to get her to remarry him, Ellie honestly seemed to believe JR had changed). We NEVER see affection between him and Jock. Did he love John Ross? Or did he view John Ross as a possession that held they key to the future of Ewing Oil? Did he love Bobby? I mean, I think we all agree that he didn't care for Ray or Gary, but he DID seem to have a soft spot for Bobby (after Bobby was shot, after Pam disappeared). The only character I am SURE he loved was Sue Ellen. We saw him open up to her and be vulnerable to her several times. But even that was a love/hate relationship. I think part of him HATED her because he loved her. And let's face it. Emotionally, she was even more screwed up than him. But that's a whole different discussion. Yes, I believe there was love there, but it seemed more like a sick obsession than anything else. [/QUOTE]
