[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 443296, member: 19949"] It would have been nice if Lee Ann had turned out to be the girl in the barn. Does anyone remember if the tabloids speculated for years about whether Barbara Eden would join Dallas? I never actually saw a headline like that, but I can easily imagine that "Jeannie Reunites with Her Master" would have made for a great article in the 80s. I could have pictured Lee Ann as the mastermind behind Jamie’s arrival, seeking revenge on JR by stripping him of parts of Ewing Oil. She could have even had the documents forged to insert Jason’s name, thereby keeping the original backstory between Jock and Digger intact. Jack Scalia certainly could have helped Dallas more as Sue Ellen’s hot lover when the show first started to falter, rather than waiting until it was already in freefall. Perhaps, as a mysterious stranger Nicholas Pearce could have found a drunken Sue Ellen on the street and helped her overcome her alcoholism in season 9 instead of Dusty. Nicholas’s criminal family background might have fit the vibe of the dream season better than it did in season 11. It would have been interesting if the other Nicholas in the series—played by George Chakiris—had been cut and Jack Scalia had taken on the role of Angelica’s ally instead. It could have turned out that he had been assigned to Sue Ellen just as Grace was to Jack, but that he fell in love with her just as Grace did with Jack. Seeing Barbara Carrera, Merete Van Kamp, and Jack Scalia together could have been pretty cool. Regarding the characters leading in the poll, I think Carter McKay could have worked at any time if we hadn't known anything about his personal life. As for James and Vanessa, the perfect moment for me would have been to introduce them shortly after JR and Sue Ellen remarried. It's always been a missed opportunity for me that Sue Ellen and Vanessa didn't interact with each other. Would Sue Ellen have recognized a similarity between Vanessa and herself, and would she have thought she was just a placeholder for Vanessa? Would it have thrown her into a crisis? It also would have been interesting to see if JR's relationship with Ray would have changed. When James appeared in season 13, JR said he could now understand Jock and his relationship with Ray. Would an earlier appearance by James have led to JR and Ray getting along better? [/QUOTE]
