[QUOTE="Luke_Krebbs_Ewing, post: 295407, member: 64"] Sorry buddy but there [B]was [/B]a fan backlash against Steve Forrest playing Jock. The news of Forrest playing Jock leaked whilst the season was still being filmed. Fans unfortunately hit the roof. They were upset at Jim Davis's role being recast and believed it was an insult to him. That's why mid season instead of Wes being confirmed as actually being Jock, he was abruptly written off. To get him off the show they didn't mention his X rays being identical to Jock's again so they concentrated on the results of the polygraph instead. Make no mistake in both instances of the character, Ben Stivers & Wes Parmalee the intention was for him to really be Jock Ewing. :) [/QUOTE]
