[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 339134, member: 40536"] Saw Bert Remsen on an episode of "Leave it To Beaver" as a gas station owner. Dandy was not a popular character, but I think that more could have been done. In seeing Dandy as a Digger type character, there was potential for Cliff to grow as a character and maybe become more self-aware, less of a vindictive buffoon. It would have been better than most of the post-Pam Cliff that we saw. A relationship could have been explored further, with Dandy as the surrogate Father, and Cliff becoming something closer to the character at the beginning of the Series. I suppose, though, that would not have fit the Ewing-Barnes narrative, and the show would not have needed Cliff as much in such a context. Bert Remsen was a good actor, and he is an example of how Dallas sometimes didn't make the best use of supporting actors. [/QUOTE]
