[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 1191, member: 7"] Oh, I don't agree. Just because we saw Bobby die on-camera doesn't mean the writers couldn't have had his "death" explained through some "he faked it" scenario. Several soap operas have "killed" their characters, and later, when the stories/audiences/writers desire it, they are miraculously brought back from the dead. Taylor Forrester died on [I]The Bold and the Beautiful[/I], but when her character was brought back a few years later, it was explained she had been in a coma during her absence. Yes, the "Dream Season" is a big part of [I]Dallas [/I]history... However, just as you said, it did damage the show's credibility, with critics and audiences. Had Bobby been "resurrected" without the dream, I don't think it would have hurt the show any worse than the dream scenario. In fact, I honestly think the public/critics would have accepted that better. That exactly sounds pretty good, but would Season 9 still have been written off as a dream? I don't agree with "the dream was the only way" solution at all... [I]But [/I]why should Bobby have returned? Well, he was the counter-balance to J.R.'s evil streak, and because the show wasn't nearly as good without him. [/QUOTE]
