I don't envy you having to get such a broad canvas down to something a bit more simple, but thanks for all the work you put into it.

During this round I couldn't help thinking of David Jacobs' comment in his UD interview.

Dallas unlike Knots Landing almost had the same story every year, the struggle for Ewing Oil. Who will control Ewing Oil.

I think we found at least a few more.

Now this is interesting. I thought it would be quite easy, but now I'm sitting down and thinking about it there are very few characters that didn't work in their own way. Especially when I separate them from the actor.

This could be a bit of a challenge for me.

 

[Ome]

Now this is interesting. I thought it would be quite easy,

My only concern (and I can't do anything about it) is if the majority go for characters from the last three seasons.

So many Pam replacements, so little space in this post...

...so I´ll try to be original: that godawful woman whose brother worked in CIA, or FBI, or IKEA. I think her name was Nancy Scottfield.

​

Probably she was played by a very good actress, but I just didn´t like her at all. And I´m sure that Paulsen and Katzman thought that having a redneck woman causing the Ewing Oil bankruptcy (and it was), but that Scottfield woman was a true pain in the a**. She was like those neighbors you find at the elevator who are always complaining about something, anything...Oh please Nancy darling, maybe your suicidal husband killed yourself because of you, and stop making those dumb faces!!

:danc:

 

[Maryann]

1. Mark Graison
2. April Stevens
3. Michelle Stevens

9. Mrs. Scottfield
10. Mitch Cooper

Sorry for the mistake, obviously I meant that Mr. Scottfield killed "himself" not his wife!!

Im not even going to name you anyone new from the final series as they are obliterated from my Dallas memories, i dont remember, i dont recall and i dont care as they sucked

the majority will come from the final seasons as they were the worst IMHO, S1 - 6 original Dallas had a great cast /supporting cast

1. and in a league of her own the insipid April Stevens
   
2. Michelle - the annoying sister
3. Cally - ah just washed ma hayyyuhhh
   
4. james
   
5. Rose - the tarty mckay girlfriend
6. Tommy mcKay
7. Angelica nero
8. Grace the mumbling insipid assistant
9. Mr valenetine - like who cared about that storyline - not me
10. laurel - block of wood - ellis - the bonsais acted better than she did
