TNT Dallas could've been fantastic if they had paired Christopher with Lucas "Luke" Wade, his alleged half-brother, only to find out later from Jenna that Ray is Lucas's biological dad because they started their affair much earlier than known (shades of Crest's Jacqueline Perrault and Richard's real mother). Lucas is Christopher's first cousin (?) instead and has at least the right to be called a Krebbs. They get married to make him officially a Krebbs-Ewing (thanks Jenna for nothing).
Of course their common enemy is the fascist like government in Texas - represented by Cliff Barnes as Gov. and John Ross' wife Rebecca in the energy bureau/ministry - that ruins the Ewing's attempts for green and climate friendly oil drilling. Conservative viewers would've loved it since brainwashed Cliff instilled their views while Rebecca is torn between loyalty to her father and the Ewings.
To attract younger viewers: shirtless scenes with Chris, Luke and John Ross at the pool while the one and only Southfork maid Teresa introduces her son Drew to the group - the viewers will find out that he met Luke years ago in an expensive boarding school in Switzerland, where Drew never mentioned his mother, and he appeared to be Mexican not Texan. But who paid for the elite school and a place beneath horny Luke Wade and little Kim Jong-un? Luke doesn't want to tell Christopher about his connection to Drew but he asks John Ross for help. Soon John Ross discovers that J.R. sponsored Drew. But why? And is Drew coming between Christopher and Luke?
Then Charlie Wade reappears and swears to destroy her half-brothers' happy lives, while trying to appeal to Christopher's bisexual urges. Christopher declines and will regret it... Did we hear again gunshots from an Ewing Oil office? Or is it just another dream? At his next appointment with Doctor Simon Ellby Jr our Lucas Wade-Krebbs-Ewing has a lot to confess... But what??
