[QUOTE="Rove, post: 74642, member: 100"] Dallas did this by having Jamie Ewing (Jenilee Harrison) sashay up the Southfork drive, while the extended Ewing family were enjoying a brief time of happiness beside the pool. Introducing a new character (out of the blue) can have a surprising effect on already established characters. It can twist the story and family dynamics. And while I did like the idea of another Ewing was added to the mix the casting of Jenilee was a disaster in my opinion. Introducing long lost relatives can work but only if the casting is spot on. My only problem with introducing a new character or family into a soap is suddenly the focus is shifted from our regular characters to the newbies. It's like the writers need to force those characters onto the viewers to quickly establish a rapport, but this often comes across as jarring. [/QUOTE]
