Could they not have found someone more easy on the eye to play John Ross? That actor is so not attractive.

Leccy ,your Avatar looks like the female version of Mount Olympus's Avatar.In fact they could be an Avatar couple

I have no idea why that should pop into my head.

Yeah Ray was Jocks illegitamate son, half brother to bobby and JR.

He was a bit of rough.

I always thought the Southfork ranch should have been a lot bigger considering the cash they had.

2/5/112:12 PM

Former Member

Thats not who I thought Ray was, who was the older man and he didnt like JR.?
Who played the young blonde girl Ewing?

It was something spot on for the 80's, but I really don't think it should be brought back. I used to get the kids to bed and tea sorted for Dallas, but never again.

The young girl was Lucy 'no-neck' Ewing...

Actually a school "mate" of mine - same year but she was way too cool for the likes of me - ended up in Dallas playing Laurel Ellis.

Croc - it was SOOOO grey.

Cariad - it was a ridiculous size - and they all lived in it together with just one room each - think they only had one phone at the bottom of the stairs too

2/5/112:20 PM

CariadMember

Cliff Barnes ... OMG you know I've just realised why I had that nagging sense of deja vu with Dubya.

2/5/112:20 PM

CroctacusMember

Reference:

Croc - it was SOOOO grey.

You must have something wrong with your eyes!

2/5/112:22 PM

LeccyMember

I think I must've been thinking of Cliff coz that there Krebbs fella isn't too bad

Aye it does Erin, never though about that before

2/5/112:22 PM

Former Member

Slow down I'm lost ,who was Dubya?

2/5/112:22 PM

Former Member

Eh who's Krebbs?

2/5/112:23 PM

CariadMember

Erin - I've just realised George W Bush (Dubya) reminded me of Cliff Barnes.

All these years I had this nagging sense I recognised him from somewhere...

There was Gary Ewing too who made very few appearances in Dallas for some reason - then they made Knots Landing.

You could be right Cariad, they're both as thick as bricks.

2/5/112:27 PM

I always thought Victoria Principal (Pamela) was stunning but she's a little over tucked these days...

2/5/112:29 PM

My god what has Victoria Principal done to herself - she was a such a beauty

2/5/112:31 PM

CroctacusMember

She was married to a plastic surgeon though....

I saw a bit about this on morning TV the other day. Apparently this new series is built around the kids and the I.T. Empire

Seriously, can it really be the same though?
