[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 371347, member: 40536"] I don't know what the consensus opinion is on Clayton, but Howard Keel is a fine actor. I liked him and Doris Day together in Calamity Jane. Having said that, never liked Clayton and never will? Why? Because Clayton was a phony. He was presented as a man of integrity, but he was not one. JR was right about him - he was an outsider and an opportunist. Among Clayton's lowlights: Had plans for seducing Sue Ellen - His son's (at the time, anyway) lover. Cheap- punched JR at the wedding to Sue Ellen - Jealous much? The Laurel Ellis story - need I say more? Was hot-headed and self-righteous JR was right to object when Miss Ellie gave him half of Southfork, Even Bobby wasn't happy, and Bobby should have supported JR. Even though Miss Ellie had the legal right to do so, it was disrespectful to Jock, who saved the ranch, and had Miss Ellie predeceased Clayton, JR, Bobby and Gary (and Ray and Lucy) would have no legal right to the property. Shame on Miss Ellie Blaming JR for Rebecca's fate when there were multiple people circumstances involved in those events. I could name more And really, Miss Ellie-Clayton was an adversary to JR - How could Miss Ellie support him against her own son (I know, that is a whole other discussion- How Miss Ellie turned away when Jock and JR made questionable deals, as long as her life of wealth and privilege was intact, and how Miss Ellie never really took responsibility for her role in how JR became who he was) I know this will cause flak, but I think HK had more chemistry with Donna Reed than BBG Again, I like Howard Keel, but not Clayton [/QUOTE]
