[QUOTE="Werewillie Oleson, post: 252269, member: 8"] What I liked about Miss Ellie's ordeal is that a lot of drama (not the cancer itself, of course) could have been avoided. [I]If[/I] JR had already taken care of that trust fund and [I]if[/I] JR hadn't used the "guilt" argument that prompted Jock to inform Miss Ellie. [I]If [/I]JR hadn't put all the Ewing capital in the Asian oil deal, [I]if[/I] Cliff hadn't made it so difficult for them to get the oil from Texan soil. And the way I see it, "Amanda" was initially created to complicate that part of the story. The actions, or in this case the lack thereof, allowed that very topic to clash with the mastectomy story. And that's why it still has a sense of soap plotting, although I have no idea if this was already planned in the DOVE HUNT episode. Either way, it's much better than simply dumping her in a hospital bed and turn it into a two hour snotfest, like Karen-almost-dying-from-the-bullet-in-her-body storyline. [/QUOTE]
