[QUOTE="Luke_Krebbs_Ewing, post: 350484, member: 64"] I don't think we would've gotten the Ben Stivers or Wes Parmalee storylines if Patrick Duffy had not left. It was Peter Dunne who wanted to bring Jock back as a foil for JR, since Bobby was dead. We were lucky to get Steve Forrest on Dallas, he was an old school actor but very professional and with great screen presence. Even though we still postulate even today if the character was Jock or not, his performance was nothing short of fabulous in both the roles he played. His tenure on the show also really brought out how good of an actor Barbara Bel Geddes was. She had great chemistry with Steve. If Patrick had not left Dallas I doubt very much we would've had any attempt by the Producer's to recast Jock with another actor after we lost Jim Davis. :) [ATTACH type="full"]42811[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
