[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 386372, member: 5079"] I think the clear winner (err, loser?) of the Worst Mother of DALLAS has to be Patricia Shepard. Of the options, I'd have to go with Pam simply for abandoning Christopher after her accident; It's unfortunate that Victoria's departure resulted in prolonged character assassination of Pam. I also feel compelled to defend Rebecca here. Priscilla Pointer was great in the role but her casting was problematic because it made Rebecca seem to be a contemporary of Miss Ellie. Rebecca was just a teen ("barely" per the canon-adjacent Van Wormer book) when she met older Digger. A poor, desperate kid having to abandon her babies out of fear for her own life should be a scenario viewed with some sympathy. And she did, rightly, predict Cliff and Pam would be raised by Digger's sister. Everything Rebecca did during the series proper was obvious overcompensation for her guilt in abandoning her children in the first place. [/QUOTE]
