Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rove" data-source="post: 387796" data-attributes="member: 100">Are we talking about the later seasons because that was disastrous for the series. The trouble hit the fan the season following Bobby being shot. There is no way Miss Ellie would have kept away from Dallas if she had learnt one of sons was in hospital. That wasn't in her nature. Of course at the time we weren't aware of those pesky background politics at play. Suddenly Afton was sent packing and in strolls Mandy Winger. It was this season when there was a seismic shift in Dallas and I don't think it ever recovered. Those creative differences behind the scenes suddenly exploded onto the small screen.Up until this point Dallas was near perfection. I'm all for changes but they have to be subtle and the strength of Dallas was keeping the focus on the main characters and the continued drama between the Ewing and Barnes family.</blockquote>
