Dallas Top Ten Top Ten

It was a very close call......

You're not kidding.

Surely the first time ever that the Barnes girl has been short of a point.

Thanks for the results @Ome.
I think this just proves again that what Dallas TNT should have done to save their show was bring back Pamela for season three. If they couldn't have gotten VP to do it they should have recast Pam. It was pointless to recast Tracey McKay that the fans just didn't care as much about.

But that's just my two cents.

Didn't see this thread before. In previous round, I would have voted JR on #1, but Pam would have been very high up as well, top 4 at least.

Recurring characters then...

1. Afton Cooper
2. Punk Anderson
3. Sly Lovegren
4. Mitch Cooper
5. Harry McSween
6. Katherine Wentworth
7. Jeremy Wendell
8. Kristin Shepard
9. Jordan Lee
10. Harv Smithfield
 

Angela Channing

Telly Talk Veteran
My picks:

1. Katherine Wentworth
2. Willard 'Digger' Barnes
3. John Ross Ewing III
4. Kristen Shepherd
5. Lady Jessica Montford
6. Micky Trotter
7. Mandy Winger
8. Valene Ewing
9. Jamie Ewing
10. Dora Mae (purely because I liked the continuity and consistency the character provided to the series)

This round seems even more impossible than the first, I realize now after reading some of your lists that I had totally forgotten about John Ross, Charlie, Christopher as well as Mickey Trotter and Rebecca Wentworth when I made my list.

Up next

Favourite recurring characters (over more than one season)
poll-who-is-dallass-best-recurring-character-copy.jpg

List your ten favourite recurring that appeared in at least two seasons.

Totals Saturday 29th October


​

Hey @Ome, I just noticed that Bum from Dallas TNT is included in your montage. Does that mean these lists are also including Dallas TNT? Not that it will make any difference to my list this time round, but just to clarify for everyone.

Hi,

maybe i got the word wrong, but up until now i always thought, recurring parts were roles like for example Punk Anderson and Harry McSween and Dora Mae.
To me, all those names listed here before would be the main cast ... but no recurring ones over several seasons?! :confused:

edit: uhm ... sorry everyone, i've just read the first page. :re::lmao:
But i won't delete my post, maybe it's funny for the others.
Matthew <--- :bah:

The list came easily. Removing characters to get it down to ten was the hard part.

To whittle it down, I've gone with what I consider to be tertiary/supporting characters rather than secondary characters/guest-stars such as Dusty or Gary.

  1. Connie Brasher
  2. Harv Smithfield
  3. Jordan Lee
  4. Marilee Stone
  5. Punk Anderson
  6. Teresa
  7. Mavis Anderson
  8. Dr. Danvers
  9. Raooouuuul
  10. Dora Mae

After the success of a Music Top Ten & @Karin Schill's Movie Top Ten, I thought it would be fun if we created one for DALLAS.



Each week I will list a category for you to choose your favourite ten.

I will tally up all the votes and keep a log of everything for reference

You can pick and choose which category you want to vote in, no one is expected to do every top ten.

If anyone needs more time just shout out.



We will start off with favourite main character.

(Any character that had the three way split intro)
​






​

I NEED MORE TIME (SHOUT!) I'm just back from Paris!!!

Easy peasy:

1. Sue Ellen Ewing
2. Miss Ellie Ewing Farlow
3. JR Ewing
4. Bobby Ewing
5. Cliff Barnes
6. Clayton Farlow
7. Christopher Ewing (Joshua)
8. Lucy Ewing
9.Jock Ewing
10. Pam Ewing
