Anyone watching? I watched the new series starting on TNT that continues the saga from the original Dallas of years ago.
I love it! Should be an interesting summer series. The two young ones playing John Ross and Christopher are well cast and good looking. And it's good to see some of the originals back. I was a bit surprised at how Lucy aged but it was nice to see Ray on.

No way! I had thought he died. Guess I was wrong. What happened to Pam? I can't remember.

The character of Pam is supposedly really "dead", but this is a soap opera....lol Victoria Principal wasn't interested at time of filming also. Cliff now owns Ewing Oil.
I ended up watching it twice last night....lol once by myself, with mom & I calling each other during commercials. Then my brother BJ showed up around midnight & wanted to watch it with someone who knew the history so he could ask questions. He remembered the characters, but not all the back history. His first question was "why is Christopher not a Ewing?" LOL
So who do you think wrote the email to Elena from Christopher? Mom has one person, I picked another, and BJ picked someone else.....

I knew Cliff owned Ewing Oil. I didn't realize Pam had died. I liked Pam on the show. Better than Sue Ellen. LOL I didn't remember that Christopher wasn't a Ewing either. It's been too long since the show aired. LOL
I think Elena's Mother wrote it or perhaps JR. At this point it could turn out to be Rebekah. What's going on there with her and her brother? Something! There seems to be an abundance of plots brewing already. LOL

I think Sue Ellen wrote the email. John Ross is angry at her (as seen at the wedding), she tells him she's an "ally" and then she buys the oil leases for Elena. I think she's doing it all to get back into good with John Ross. Mom thinks Rebecca wrote the email & that she & her brother are just con artists. My brother thinks JR wrote the email. lol

LOL so we're all on the right track! I don't think Sue Ellen did it.
And then there's that kid in Christopher's office who overheard him talking with that guy on the computer about the earthquake. Something's going on there. LOL
Tons of plots!

Mom and I were joking about the "who is screwing over who" cake has a TON of layers going. Everytime you turned around, someone was screwing over someone else or finding out about it.
The John Ross & Marta one was the screw over that I laughed at. and I LOVED Jr's delivery on his lines. Of course the only thing to get JR to "wake up" (faking it) is a good fight with Bobby over oil & Southfork....LOL

LOL I was thinking the same thing when John Ross went to visit JR. I knew that would "wake" him up! But, I was a bit surprised at the John Ross and Marta thing. Leave it to JR to fly to Mexico or wherever it was to talk to Carlos personally and meet the real Marta! LOL And to see John Ross kissing the fake Marta in the parking lot. John Ross just isn't having any luck at all so far. LOL

I know he's the "bad guy", but I can sooooo see myself rooting for John Ross. If anyone came out totally screwed up, it would be John Ross. He was a pawn between his parents the entire first series.
I wonder what Marta is going to do with the sex tape she made of her & John Ross.

Yea I agree. John Ross will be easy to root for but I still like Christopher.
You mean the fake Marta? I wonder what she'll do with it. Maybe show it to Elena? I'm not sure to what end it'll do her any good to show to to anyone at this point.

LOL! It's been a long time since I've been so excited over a tv show and been looking forward to the next episode like this. They did a great job!

I agree! I'm anxious for the next episode as well. I don't think I missed but one or two episodes of the original.
Do you think Gary and Valene will return?

I doubt we see Gary or Val. Have you seen what Joan VanArk has done to her poor face? OMG! The idea is that this is supposed to be about Christopher & John Ross (2nd generation). The hope is in a couple of seasons to have Bobby, JR, & Sue Ellen appear less often. IF the show takes off the way they hope.

I can see that happening but having those three there are a huge thing for me. If the boys don't keep it going like it did when the original was on, I'll stop watching.
I thought maybe Gary might make an appearance since he is a Ewing after all . . . so is Ray if I remember. There could be all kinds of fights over South Fork!
I haven't seen Joan van Ark at all since the show went off the air.

Miss Ellie's will left Southfork entirely to Bobby and ONLY Bobby. I doubt Gary or Ray have any problems with it & Ray would have no claim anyway. Southfork was Miss Ellie's from her family, not Jocks. Ray is Jock's illegitimate son. Gary would have sided with Bobby anyway about no drilling & keeping it a working ranch. Gary hated the oil business.

I know Gary hated it but I'd love to see him come back. Isn't Lucy his daughter? maybe he'll show up on occasion if she calls him and tells him what's going on. LOL Or to visit with Bobby since he's dying.
I forgot Ray was illegitimate.
