The kind of man we all knew Bobby to be, I find it impossible to believe he had no contact with Lucas over the years, his own natural son. And I’m assuming he had no contact with him since he was never mentioned. If Ray married Jenna and adopted Lucas, neither Jenna nor Lucas were even mentioned whenever Ray returned to the ranch.  Was Lucas raised to believe Ray was his real father? We’ll never know. What I would have loved to see happen was Lucas returning to the ranch—let’s say he discovered Bobby was his natural father, and wanting his piece of the pie. Christopher was always insecure about being adopted, and the presence of Lucas as a new rival (natural son vs adopted son) would have been more than interesting, since the John Ross vs Christopher feud was predictable and tired and ran its course. What would Lucas have been like? Angry and resentful that he wasn’t raised a Ewing, never being acknowledged by his real father? Or what if, in the wake of Christopher’s death, Bobby finally sought out Lucas and he became a new rival for John Ross.Food for thought.</blockquote>
