[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 442539, member: 5079"] My opinion is that the problem was deeper. It didn't matter which actress played Jenna or how she was portrayed -- she was a deadend character. Pick any of the three actresses and the character personality; now what? After being a rival for Pam or Katherine, what storylines does Jenna open? The Ewings, including JR, liked her; no family drama there. Cliff had no reason to care about her one way or the other. She wasn't involved in the oil industry or even ranching. Did anyone [I]really [/I]want to watch Jenna running a boutique? An heiress struggling to make it on her own might have been an interesting story, but the writers couldn't even pull that off with Lucy. None of the Jennas should have been more than guest appearances. I'd go so far as to say I think bumping Jenna to main cast was one of the show's first major blunders. [/QUOTE]
