[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 295396, member: 672"] I agree with your post, the bit above is new to me. In the end of the dream season, JR found some information that Mark was involved in a university prank resulting in the death of a student. Mark's father got it hushed up, but murder is under the status of limitation. So it's safe to assume that JR tried to gain some advantage by that knowledge. It's more than likely that Mark's background got explored and that this whole business went to court. I love that storylines of old sins haunting till the present (hutch Mckinney, burning southern cross etc.) so I would have loved that storyline. It's always a treat to get a "white knight" character to court and it would have spiced up the character. Some disliked him, because he was rather one-dimensional. Another storyline obviously were his health issues which were never sorted out. I think he wouldn't have lasted more than 1-2 years though. But I can't see how his death benefitted the story. So maybe he just stayed around like Clayton. Personally I would have liked him around much longer. I would have prefered anything instead of the dream solution. Another triangle now Pam married to Mark. AAdditionally more business conflicts with Ewing Oil. I never got it why Pam sold Christopher's part of Ewing Oil to JR. She should have been in the middle between Mark and JR. [/QUOTE]
