[QUOTE="ArchieLucasCarringtonEwing1989, post: 47736, member: 95"] Mandy, Jimmy, Katherine and Mickey were definitely wasted, not just wasted characters but wasted opportunities. Mandy was JR's longest term mistress, she was also I think the 2nd great love of his life, she was on the show for three years and even tptb in the new series had her return for JR's funeral, Mandy was being molded into being the next Mrs JR Ewing, and then instead we get Cally "recent high school graduate class of 1987" Harper which was just plain creepy. Jimmy for the reasons stated above, there weren't enough Barnes especially since it was revealed that Pam was technically a McKinney and only Digger's stepdaughter, Jimmy could've backed a Cliff up more as a sort of Barnes answer to the Ewing's JR and Bobby team, I guess that's why we had the "Pam Gang" in seasons 7 & 8 to readdress the balance but even that fell apart after Mark "died", Afton left and Katherine going bat-ship mental. Katherine I think was the 2nd biggest waste, I'm not sure if TPTB wanted their own "Alexis" archetype female bitch villain or a more or less remake of the Kristen storyline just four seasons earlier, right down to the "Who Shot...." cliffhanger, Katherine could've and should've been Pam's genuine friend and sister who acts bitchy towards the Ewings because she's protective of Pam and a Cliff to a lesser extent. Mickey was the 1st biggest waste in the entire series, Mickey was an outsider related to a minor Ewing, whose relationship to the Ewings is because he was born on the wrong side of the sheets, Mickey was the best of Lucy's love interest, and it gave Lucy her best storyline since the first season, Lucy and Mickey were like a bettered version of Gary and Val And TPTB should've used him more instead of killing him off and making Lucy remarry her douche bag 1st husband.
