[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 413671, member: 57984"] Victoria shrewdly knew when to leave. Lorimar asked her to come back for two years with a big raise in 1987; Victoria agreed (despite what she's claimed) to do only one more year, and only then if she had financial parity with Duffy. Lorimar refused, Victoria publicly stated that, "CBS and Lorimar have always been very generous with me," and left. A year later she reportedly had dinner with Larry carrying an offer to meet her demands in order to return. But there was no way she was going to go back by that point. And why would she, or return for the final episode? DALLAS was in tatters by then. Everybody knew it. And the story that she'd agreed to return if Lenny could "guarantee" that [I]Conundrum [/I]would be the last episode is really questionable --- for one thing , of [B][I]course [/I][/B]Katzman knew it would be the last episode... Just why do we think [I]Conundrum [/I][B]was[/B] [I]Conundrum [/I]with Joel Gray?? It was supposed to be the last episode! As I said above, maybe if JR's dream had Pam as the first woman president, then maybe Principal might've returned. But why else would she? She's done the occasional retrospective show, and has chosen not to do others. I think that's fair. She's not being snobbish, she's simply been selective. She chose not to do 2012's nuDALLAS reboot on TNT and, obviously, she was right to steer clear of that. Victoria knows how TV works, and, even had she been interested, likely anticipated that it would be a disaster.
