Message: <blockquote data-quote="Piggyrella Sanderson" data-source="post: 411548" data-attributes="member: 82">The JR-Gary relationship was retconned (like other things) by Jacobs for "Knots Landing". JR wanted Gary away from Texas because he was a mere but real disturbance in his manipulate ways with Jock and Miss Ellie to get what he wanted. He was afraid of his presence factually, and I´m sure JR from "Dallas" didn´t consider Gary able to clean up his own shoes. After all, he did give a faulty company to him and, if Gary had had that potential, he soon would have redirected it and be successful. But instead, he got all nervous when his drink fell all over the desk, with the women trying to clean his mess, and, soon after, he ran away again. By then, Gary wasn´t drinking (booze) and had the opportunity to reunite his family and start over. But he was weak and JR knew it. So the JR from "Knots" wasn´t the same JR we loved to hate on "Dallas": he laughed at poor Val in her face but didn´t threaten her again (unlikely), loaned money to Gary for a business (unlikely), and flirted with a wholesome housewife (unlikely).[ATTACH=full]54620[/ATTACH] Gary: "You are a bastard!" JR: "I´ll tell Mama about it!"</blockquote>
