[QUOTE="Mustard, post: 339305, member: 46"] Larry Hagman reasoned that Dallas at that moment couldn't continue on without J.R. Ewing, and he made sure that he wasn't in the USA when the episode aired over there. He was in the UK instead, having the brass chasing him all over. Sue Ellen wants the Ewing money and status through marriage to J.R., and thought Cliff would stand by her but he didn't compared to his desire for power or being the head of the OLM. Sue Ellen loves Dusty yet is too scared to leave J.R. for him even though Dusty is rich himself when he isn't cowboying and doing Rodeos. Sue Ellen's issues at root are her low self-esteem, caused by her mother Patricia teaching her to get a high status man, yet Patricia clearly didn't tell Sue Ellen what to do if her husband showed little to no interest in her for some length of time. Even though Dusty is rich, his cowboying is a lower class look compared to J.R.'s oilman and tuxedo, so Sue Ellen's snobbery definitely comes in a bit there too, in my opinion, even though she doesn't like her own snobbery a lot of the time. Sue Ellen even took out her dislike of J.R. and Cliff on baby John Ross for some time after he was born. Was Cliff wrong when he went on that "You're a user" rant to Sue Ellen? [/QUOTE]
