[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 351821, member: 57984"] She would have brought it up long ago? Really?? I just don't know how a teenaged romance destroys the character of Miss Ellie, especially since it was established from the beginning of the series. And this is not the definition -- at least, I don't believe -- of "a retcon," just as Jason Ewing isn't a retcon; it's just new information. In fact, a retcon would be pretending that Ellie and Digger had no romantic relationship at all. Paternity issues are an old soap trope, it's true. In fact, a paternity issue is the first plotline that set fire to DALLAS' narrative and ratings (with Sue Ellen and JR fearing Cliff is the daddy of John Ross). So the suspicion years later, in the last season or so, that Digger [I][B]might [/B][/I]be JR's father provides a nice symmetrical coda to the entire series as a whole.
