It makes the character motivations easy to understand - Christopher being adopted and feeling like he's not a legitimate heir to the Ewing throne is an easy motivation to get why he'd be scheming. John Ross on the other hand would end up trying to prove that he's not awful like his father (one of the most famous bastards in television history). Take it from there and go.</blockquote>
