[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 317178, member: 40536"] Agreed. I never liked Miss Ellie because I thought she was cold/indifferent toward JR, favored his brothers, married Jock for his money (She could at least have been more honest about it), didn't support JR multiple times against Clayton, who was not the honorable man that the scripts suggested, gave away half of Southfork (JR was right about calling Clayton a carpetbagger from San Angelo), tried to destroy Jock's legacy with several attempts to sell Ewing Oil, constantly lectured Jock, JR and even Bobby about how they conducted business, but she was happy to live a life of wealth and privilege that directly resulted from their methods. In the early seasons, it seemed that there was a possibility that Digger might be JR's father - I'm not sure that she ever flatly denied it. Not a knock on BBG, just the character. I would give her some slack for doing all she could since JR and Bobby were in a life-threatening situation, but that's about it. [/QUOTE]
