I liked Christopher Atkins as Peter Richards. He was written as a vulnerable teenager who through circumstances had an affair with an older woman. Imo it needed to be such a boyish person and no early twenty muscle guy (Sue Ellen witnessed at some point). Otherwise JR would have smelled the affair far in advance. I liked that casting decision therefor.I didn't mind PP initially, later it got worse. I didn't like Vanessa and James, but the writing was horrible at that time. But they are nonetheless obvious choices as most of later years characters by the way.Out of Dallas primetime my favorite would be Leslie Stewart. I didn't know what to think of her. This creative mastermind with her flipchart who every man just adores. I never understood the appeal Leslie was supposed to portray. For me nearly all of the female cast at that time was more attractive. So I couldn't get into her character who (for me) should have been played by a more attractive person.</blockquote>
