I can see Delta Burke as Katherine, Holly Harwood not so much.
I would have loved to see Delta on the show (especially during the great seasons--so before the dream season) as any character. Would be interested to see how she would interact with JR or Bobby.

Morgan Brittany, John Beck, Deborah Shelton, Audrey Landers and Jenilee Harrison were not in the opening credits
Should they have been?
Morgan Brittany! Yes, she was a great villain.

No, they were never permanent status. It costs money to alter the credits.

I mean, I guess I never understood how Dack Rambo made the opening credits, but Brittany, Landers, Shelton, Beck, and Harrison (all of who had more scenes and plot important never did.

Rambo made them include him in the titles using a clause in his contract, I seem to remember. Jack was a family member and only Priscilla had that privilege before. Ironicly, or not, he was soon axed with agreement between both parts. We all know he was feeling discriminated by Larry, true or not. Not a Donna Reed scenario but almost.

I had no idea that the actor who played Sam Culver played a different role on Knots Landing. He was in the episode "Kristen", when Kristen comes to Knots Landing.
I saw him in a western fairly recently that was from a good 15-20 years before his Dallas appearance. He already looked about the same as on Dallas, and would have been in his 50s. That governor job will age you!

ah, found a pic from Wagon Train:

Watching the range war in season 13 and really annoyed at the scene where Ellie tells Sue Ellen that JR sent John Ross away for safety and Ellie agreed with him.

I mean really, you think John Ross is in danger but don't bother to call his MOTHER, who happens to have legal custody of him? And didn't it ever cross Ellie's mind that the last time JR hid John Ross from Sue Ellen, she ended up shooting the bastard? If I had been SE I probably would have smacked Miss Ellie - and when John Ross got back I would have immediately removed him from Southfork. Obviously, she couldn't trust the Ewings not to steal and hide her son.
