Who Was The Dumbest Character On Dallas?

[Chase Gioberti]

Well he did win the case defending Jock's will

Paul (can’t remember the character’s last name) seemed to be the best lawyer. He got Ray off and he would have won Ray’s divorce if Ray wouldn’t have wimped out in the end.

 

[Jon Ewing Jr.]

Paul Morgan. Originally he had the hots for Donna. Not sure why he never pounced when he realized they were on the verge of splitting up.

 

[Taylor Bennett Jr.]

Scottie Demrest got Jenna off.

Scottie’s legendary skills extended beyond the courtroom

 

[Billy Wall]

Scottie Demrest got Jenna off.

Bobby got her off more than Scottie did.

 

[Billy Wall]

Paul Morgan. Originally he had the hots for Donna. Not sure why he never pounced when he realized they were on the verge of splitting up.

And then he represented Ray against Donna in their divorce case.

 

[Taylor Bennett Jr.]

Bobby got her off more than Scottie did.

I'm not so sure... there are reasons she called off the wedding, and Scottie may well have been one of them!

If that assassin would not have talked, Jenna wouldn’t have gotten off. We never saw Scotti win a case where the murderer didn’t confess.

that was part of his legendary power - the ability to somehow draw out confessions seemingly completely unrelated to the actual trial. That and the seductive way he said "silencuh"..

 

[Toni]

Scottie Demrest got Jenna off.

I wish he had killed her off instead!

 

[Snowcat]

Cally. The fact that she took her marriage to JR so seriously was just dumb & unaware. Lucy is a close second

 

[Snowcat]

About the idea that Wes was intended to be Jock, Dallas writer/producer David Paulsen said, “No that was not a possibility, anymore than it was our intention to bring back Patrick as his twin brother, which we joked about. No, Jock was there; that painting of him was virtually there in every episode and how could you do that? We would not do that and it certainly would not serve him. The character of Jock remained in Dallas all the way through. So insinuations that Wes was Jock were there, but there was never any intention to do that, no."

JR even used Jocks gun in the last episode

 

[Snowcat]

JR is not dumb. It takes brains to blackmail people the way he did. He was insecure and loved to put the envelope. He loved high stakes gambling, like Asian oil wells, mortgaging Southfork, admitting himself a sanitarium. At the beginning he always won, at the end he lost.

 

[Luke_Krebbs_Ewing]

Bobby got her off more than Scottie did.

I beg to differ about that.

Ray got her off better than Bobby or Scottie!

Really? Well spotted.

Paul Morgan. Originally he had the hots for Donna. Not sure why he never pounced when he realized they were on the verge of splitting up.

Paul lives in Houston now and is a regular customer at Andy Bradley's gay bar.

You heard it here first!

[Jack Ewing ]: "I never had money so I don't need money."

if only it were that easy in real life!

I agree! And this is what made Jack such a wildcard for J.R.

How does J.R. deal with a guy who wants to annoy him, just for the fun of annoying him?

dealing with someone apparently able to get food and shelter and clothing and hair product out of thin air would be unnerving indeed, even for someone as normally unflappable as JR!

This was actually a problem in real life. People would watch the show and figure, "If I can make it to Dallas, I can strike it rich!" And they would spend their last dollar getting here, only to find there is no gold at the end of the rainbow.
