[QUOTE="MenaceTheDennis, post: 342281, member: 148"] Im guessing you think having Pam there, in any capacity, would have kept the show from going down the road of JRs clown car of his hillbilly wife, illegitimate offspring, and other assorted ex girlfriends from his past. Not to mention the Casey Denaults, the Nicholas Pearces, the McKays, Rose, Michelle etc who did very little to nothing for the show (mostly the latter). They still would’ve brought at least 75 percent of these characters on the show I believe. The show WAS in decline right before Victoria left, but chemistry among the cast can make up for some weak scripts, which were more prevalent during her last two seasons. I’m unsure how much more mileage they were going to get out of the Barnes Ewing feud during the last four seasons to be honest. Rot was setting in big time post dream season. It made no sense for Sue Ellen to live at Southfork anymore after they divorced again, but her life was far less interesting living apart from JR, so that was gone. As far as Michaels, judging by her clip, it wouldve been the same as Reed with everyone crucifying her I think. Reed was an Oscar winner no less and everyone nailed her to the wall for not being true to the character, or trying to make the role her own. BBG was best of course, but it was extremely bad for Donna who really did nothing wrong, but was miscast. Pam was a more important role. The producers chose not to recast which I cant blame them for.
