[USER=3926]@Jimmy Todd[/USER]'s storyline could work (about some villain trying to weaken JR by making him doubt his paternity.)But the audience can't be left in the dark. Imo you can't copy the Wes Parmalee storyline in that aspect. The audience should be aware of what is going on from the very beginning(like with Katherine's forged letter.)The only way to  make it work is comparable to Cliff's canyon 430 storyline.The audience knew from the very start  that Cliff screwed JR (by forcing Sly to spy on JR). We knew that (as soon as JR found out) that Cliff was in big trouble. But the most intriguing part was how JR would execute his vengeance. In any case Miss Ellie's integrity should not be doubted. With smart writing there could be some possibility to play some mindgame with JR only (but no other family members doubting her).</blockquote>
