[QUOTE="Luke_Krebbs_Ewing, post: 295403, member: 64"] Let's not forget he told Pam he was in remission. And that there was no cure. If Patrick Duffy had not returned then sadly Mark would've died in season ten. It's possible that they could've found a cure. Had the character been liked long term then I think Lorimar would've tried to keep him on the show. Unfortunately it's all academic now as Patrick Duffy returned and the storylines of that year with the exception of Jock Ewing's return were all erased. However Jock's return suffered not just from the fan backlash of the time but also that there were effectively two resurrections from the dead that season which probably contributed to Steve Forrest being dropped mid season in favour of Patrick Duffy's return as Bobby. :) [/QUOTE]
