[QUOTE="Luke_Krebbs_Ewing, post: 329539, member: 64"] I could see Clayton & Jock having respect for each other. Maybe even friendship but Jock was rather rough & ready whereas Clayton was much more of a gentleman & a softer character. It's just a shame that we lost Jim Davis so soon into the series run. Even with Steve Forrest as Jock it was interesting to see how threatened Clayton was at the prospect of Miss Ellie's first husband coming back from the dead. Clayton certainly didn't feel fully comfortable with Wes when it was realised that he could be Jock. He ordered him off Southfork. And regardless of the outcome of Wes being Jock or not, Clayton obviously felt inadequate at the thought of the Ewing patriarch & the love of Miss Ellie's life being back. He even left Southfork to allow Miss Ellie to make her choice. Him or Wes Parmalee/Jock Ewing. The fact that Miss Ellie makes her choice of Clayton rather than Jock is down to the way the Wes Parmalee is Jock Ewing storyline was received by the viewers but we'll not get into that as all that has been well documented & discussed in other threads. All I can say is that Clayton is a very lucky man. If circumstances had been different with the viewers, Jock would've taken back his wife & Southfork. :) [/QUOTE]
