[QUOTE="Rove, post: 47936, member: 100"] I thought the loss of Kristin was bad enough. By the way another great loss in Mary Cosby. Instead of the Christopher story-line I would have loved if the writers had Kristin vanish with JR's child only to return some time later. And if suffering the loss of Kristin was torture nothing prepared me for the loss of Katherine albeit briefly. I liked Katherine's initial introduction to Dallas (minus the television reporter job). Katherine should have been written as a young executive, trained to one day take over her daddy's company, Wentworth Industries, until mother decides to play catch-up mother hen to Cliff. This of course creates some friction between Cliff and Katherine. As you put it Katherine's relationship with Pam should have been the sister relationship they have so longed for. Rebecca's death should have been the catalyst for change in Katherine, just not in the way the writers eventually would have taken it. Her outburst at Cliff after Rebecca's death was justified and it would have been fitting to have her show up at Southfork and give the whole family a good telling off. I can just picture the Ewing family sitting down to dinner and in walks an uninvited Katherine. "It's nice to see families can still sit together for dinner...unlike mine." With the Ewing family on one side and the fractured Barnes/Wentworth family on the other it had laid the foundations for great story-telling and in part the following season it did live up to that promise with Cliff, Afton, Pam, Mark and Katherine as a groupie.
