Without her DALLAS hair, I don't recognize her.

It’s been difficult through the last two seasons but I think I can make it. Three major gripes early on…
Why did they bring back Lucy two years ago with absolutely nothing for her to do? There was ‘nothing to do at the ranch except make unfunny comments about JR. Did someone owe Charlene something?
2. Alex Barton - torture. Did the producers say “Man the Laurel Ellis and Don Lockwood stories were so well received, let’s add another British artist to the storyline here!!” (Season 12 was so beneath Ian McShane.)
3. Whose brilliant idea was it to add that talentless Kimberly Foster to the main cast? They couldn’t have brought back Tracey Lawton instead?
4. (One more). I hate that JR is a bumbling buffoon who is bested in every deal now and Bobby has to explain the oil business to him. I know this has been said a million times but who thought it would be a great idea to have our supervillain become this emasculated? Losing once in a while is subverting expectations. At this point I’m surprised he can get himself dressed in the morning.
What I liked about season 14 was that first Cally and then James had interesting exit storylines, unlike Miss Ellie and Lucy in season 13, whose goodbyes were unfortunately made with no effort at all. I also liked that JR was actually faithful to Vanessa, but she didn't believe him.
The revelation of who killed Johnny Dancer was actually a surprise for me at the time because I didn't expect the writers to go there.
The showdown with Hilary Taylor on Southfork was also entertaining for me and I remember that it made me quite curious about what would happen in the final two episodes.

I'm on to season 14... and it's torture
Is that about April?Wait til episode 4, you will feel (slightly) better...
You are right. Wilson is only guilty of bad acting, moving like a robot and make nasty faces. Not to talk about her horrible hairdo, which probably was her choice. The one who regretted April´s death was Wilson because she would have loved to be in TNT´s sequel. Ugh.Is that about April?
I liked April and I like Sheree Wilson.
I also liked her as Alex Cahill in "Walker, Texas Ranger"
It is not SW fault that the showrunners paired her with Bobby
April was good as a supporting character who was involved with JR and the Oil business
I think the writers later admitted that April's end was a mistake

Likewise, I also respect all opinions. My question about her was...if they had (and underused) Marilee, why to create another business-related pseudo-villainess? Before finding this board, she was just a reason to skip scenes. I do understand (up to a point) why people like her now, though.I don't agree.
I thought April was a good supporting character who interacted quite well with the main cast in a variety of
roles that forwarded the plots and stories.
However, I support your right to like or dislike any character
I liked April lot in the beginning. She was amazing to me. I always wanted them to explore the relationship between April and Jack a little deeper.Likewise, I also respect all opinions.
