This is cool and a hug post. I don’t have time to read through the whole thing. Can someone summarize that we know at the point? I’d love to see a real continuation.
My ideas:
Sue Ellen Ewing - in Jock’s role. Show more of the foundation she created and maybe a foundation Clayton and Miss Ellie put together that she runs, would explain where all the money went. In the last 4 years she managed to prove the SF mineral rights were left to the foundation. With a billion dollar foundation she is the power behind every business move. She moves into SF.
Bobby Ewing - in Miss Ellie’s role. He owns 1/2 the ranch and cares for it and plays the voice of reason in the family. Ann went with Emma to live in Virginia. Rylands back in prison thanks to John Ross and Judith is a U.S. (mentioned not seen) also thanks to John Ross. Chris lived, out his life back together and moved to California with his mother who turned out alive. Cliff is in a mental hospital in Mexico. Bobby is the history and moral center.
Ellie Ewing - in JR’s role. John Ross’s sister that Sue Ellen raised in England and JR was involved with, though Sue Ellen never knew. She uses money JR left her to team up with John Ross and create Ewing Industries, including taking over Ewing Global (including Wentworth Tool and Die) and Ryland Trucking. John Ross created a paramilitary company, Branch Water from Ryland’s CIA contacts which she uses as her go to people in underhanded dealings. Mention James and Bo (Cally’s son) so they’re not ignored from the original Dallas.
John Ross - in Bobby’s role. Ellie’s partner in Ewing Industries, Bobby’s best friend, retired from business to ranch but stays involved, tends to fight Ellie over schemes but in the end he and his sister are thick as thrives.
Pamela Ewing - in Pam’s role. John Ross’s wife, a romantic couple but Ellie wants her gone. She has adopted John Ross Ewing III (John Ross’s out of wedlock son we didn’t see in TNT) and Steve Clayton (John Ross’s other son with Elena, who’s in prison for her involvement with the drug cartel, born end of 2010, the year JR died, the year without estate taxes). She’s a devoted house wife and mother and in the DOA.
Jay Ewing - in Lucy’s role. John Ross Ewing IV, the college freshman, cheesecake role, playboy type, he and Sue Ellen and Ellie based on Angela and Lance from Falcon Crest.
Anthony Cumson - in Sue Elle’s role. Lance Cumson’s son from Falcon Crest just to tie the two shows together (mention his father as a great vintner and his uncle the seer of ‘Cisco), a California blue blood, Stanford and Cambridge grad, a nerdy genius who runs Ewing Industries for John Ross and Ellie, with an on again off again relationship with Ellie.
J. Paul Wendell - in Cliff’s role. Jeremy Wendell’s son, Chairman and CEO of the Trident Corporation (which owns the old West Star Corporation. He hates the Ewing’s. Turns out his mother is Afton, who gave him up for adoption (Jeremy raped her and paid her for the child, never seen on original Dallas) before she even meet JR, so he’s Pamela’s 1/2 brother.
Mateo Ramos - in Ray’s role. Drew and Elena’s brother, Carmen’s other son, and Teresa’s nephew (from the original). He’s having a secret affair with Jay (who’s bisexual) and works for Bobby and John Ross running the ranch. Like his brother he was in the military and friends with John Ross growing up. He blames Elena for Drew’s murder.
