Message: <blockquote data-quote="Luke_Krebbs_Ewing" data-source="post: 215632" data-attributes="member: 64">Especially as they dropped Steve Forrest from being the new Jock Ewing.I know a lot of fan's didn't like the Wes Parmalee storyline but I loved it.Dropping Steve Forrest I think was a terrible waste of a great actor.  I know many felt the role of Jock was Jim Davis's part & it was disrespectful to re-cast the role.  I however feel that if it had been handled a touch more sensitively they should've kept Steve Forrest on as Jock.  The Producer's shouldn't have caved into the fan's who were vocal about Jim Davis being the only Jock.  Bringing Jock back was the oomph the show needed to keep it going.  Whilst Duffy's return would've pleased a few fan's, it alienated more viewers than enough & the show's popularity suffered.Dallas sadly took the lazy way out again & the show suffered badly in the ratings.  Rule number one, never take on board what the fan's say they're not producing the show!If they had kept Steve Forrest on as Jock Ewing, I suspect Dallas wouldn't have ended in 1991 but would've stayed on air till 1993 possibly as late as 1994/5.A real shame that the Producer's listened to the show's fans because it cost Dallas it's popularity & longevity on screen.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
