He deserved it

After screwing with Lucy JR had that coming I’m shocked her momma did not slap him too.

Dan Tee I couldn't stand Miss Ellie. She was such an enabler.

if JR had a problem with that he could get out.

I really think Jock was the one to blame. He know how JR was and could sit straight he had the power to kick him um out of South fork and out of Ewing oil!

And she did admit she was in the episode where Gary and Val married.

@@jasonwilkins4864 but Gary was a pussy and a boozer so.

I agree. Which is why I would have liked to have seen Gary and Valene in the Dallas TNT.

they wasted an opportunity. We could have seen them together again with Lucy, but Gary having lost nearly all his fortune with gambling and drinking...

It was his way of saying "How Dare You Interfere Between Those Two, She Nor Gary Live At Southfork Anymore And If Lucy Wants To Have A Relationship With Valene, That's Her Business."

@@laminage right before he pulled JR's car over to the side dragged him out and beat his ass for doing this.

Andre Beck, well even Patrick said that if it remained the Bobby-Pam show, Dallas wouldn't have taken off like it did, and that it became the JR Show, it turned out for the better. Patrick didn't like playing the good guy at all, he found it boring, many of the cast members knew he didn't like it, but JR being bad, was better for the show in the long run. Larry had the interesting character, Patrick had the boring role, and Patrick himself has admitted that.

@@JohnBlack2345 Well Dallas is better when JR is the bad guy, Larry had the most interesting part, Patrick as Bobby, had the boring and one dimensional role, just be good, that just beat Patrick up, he hated playing the good guy, while Larry was enjoying life playing his role.

@@rumarspencer7302 Larry even said Patrick had the toughest role because he could never deviate from it. that is wht when he came back, Patrick insisted that Bobby be the good gy in a tarnished hat. he wanted Bobby to be more of an asshole. and he was.

What's insane is most of the American Public likes his character and it relates to him.

I never understood that myself. Certain villains you can root for but not JR. He was a sociopathic scumbag.

and that's the whole point and that's why he got away with it because Miss hilly and jog did nothing about it it's their fault not Jr's

Jock would never allow JR to be thrown out of Southfork.

but miss Ellie and Jock loved Lucy so to do would have hurt them and JR never crossed that line intentionally.

So true!

The only reason JR ever made sure Lucy stayed at Southfork was for Jock and Miss Ellie, because they wanted Lucy with them, and JR would have done anything to score brownie points with his daddy. JR had no vested interest for himself, in Lucy being around, and would have liked it just fine, if Lucy, Valene, and Gary would have been one happy family and stayed away from Dallas for good, but as I said, JR knew his parents wanted their only grandchild at Southfork. So he made sure Lucy stayed, and kept Valene away. Gary wouldn’t likely have been motivated to return just for his daughter, as he had resigned himself to being a weak loser who wasn’t fit to be a father, and felt she was better off without him, whether she was with her mother or her grandparents. However, he would have, and did, have motivation to return for Valene, which is why JR wanted her to stay away. It all came down to him wanting to keep Gary away.

@@sexykitten0814 Thank you for the reply.

Because the ewing had so much power and the police were on their payroll

dallas was a Texas version of the godfather

ahahaha

He had the power and the money.

Bobby would have only been a boy when JR ran valene out of town . If it was now he would kick his arse.

***** Val and Gary were suspects in another murder..Talk about ken and barbie ..XD Those scissors just happened to be on the desk??

Didnt she try to shoot Wendy Fulton as Jean Hackney, too? Lol. That was gutsy and tough too!

RavenMastersonTV She didn't. J.R. lied. He offered her money and she tried to slap him. That scene is on here, too.

She may have been before, but JR ws of the mind that people never change like that.... plus it was ammo for him against her with his family. JR was the only one honest about the situation- Jock and Ellie said nothing, Ellie being the biggest hypocrite of all by not defending her since she wanted Gary to stay so badly. I love this show as it reflected real, human, contradictory family elements; most of the time anytime.

+Gary Richard Collins II Taken too soon!

+MrCraigblaze No, he didn't die too young, he was getting old.

Gary Richard Collins II It happens to all of us...XD He also drank early in life too.XD

That's what caught up to him, but he had a relatively long life.

Gary Richard Collins II Sorry to say yes it was...XD..

For sure.

She was gorgeous, blond girl

Or I guess she Just wanted to smack the HELL out of JR...!!..XD

over Barbara Bel Geddes ?! joan was great though

Hell yes. JVA was way more accomplished. BBG had three speeds, angry, happy... and weepy hurt.... and the way she pronounced the names, JAY-URRRRRR, Bah-BEE! PAAMMMMM, LUU-CEE! Ugh.

I always thought JR was Lucy's father ( she was sooo much like him,) and that was what JR held over Valene.

It's one thing to not have business sense, but it's an entirely different thing for your brother, who knows you don't have business sense, to set you up running a company that he knows is doomed to fail. He purposely destroyed his brother Gary when he came back to Southfork in 1978. JR clearly had some psychological issues. He wanted Ewing Oil, Southfork, and his parents exclusively. He could not stand to have to share anything with any of his brothers, and he would do almost anything to hurt them so that he could be number one.

Yeah, you're so right on about that. He always felt that he could only have Daddy's Love if he bought in Multimillion Dollar Deals. Remember in The Pilot Episode where Bobby announced he was going to work at Ewing Oil and how Happy Jock was saying he had no problem with him Taking on Responsibility. JR Whines "You Put Me In Your Chair Daddy" but there was more than that. He liked Bobby being on the Road and only home on Weekends, he liked having Daddy to "Himself", he hated sharing. Sadly enough there are alot of Kids way into adulthood who act the exact same way.

Lecuyer Dooley Oh? We're supposed to be feeling sorry for Gary and Bobby? The first was a little nobody who couldn't even stand up to anyone, the latter someone who got his kicks out of hitting people. THEY, too, had psychological issues.

Whatever their issues, they never ONCE conspired to intentionally harm their brother J.R. If they did, it was a defensive response to something J.R. did to them first. J.R. was a self-centered bastard. "Ewing" was not just his birth right; it was all of his brothers, his nieces, his nephews, all of their birth rights, too.

Lecuyer Dooley Then let them fight for it, instead of whining Jock didn't give them this for free. As Jock said, 'Power is something that you TAKE.' Only J.R. understood that. If you don't like how he turned out, blame Jock Ewing and his parenting style.

I.. LOVE how Lucy had so much HATE geared toward JR...XD...!!

Yep!!

He wanted to keep Gary away. The only reason he did everything necessary to keep Lucy at Southfork, was for Jock and Miss Ellie, because they wanted their only grandchild with them. JR would have been just fine with Lucy being with her parents, and them all just staying away, but he would have done anything to get in better graces with Jock. So he made sure Lucy stayed and Valene stayed away, because Gary wouldn’t have come back just for his daughter. He felt he was a weak loser, and she was better off without him, whether with her mother, or her grandparents. But he would have, and did eventually have motivation to return if Valene was around. It all came to JR wanting to keep Gary away.

Jason Sapp she didn't stay lovely...too much PS.

By then Joan had already disfigured herself with surgery.

She was from a poor working class family and JR arrogantly thought Val wasn't good enough to be part of the Ewing clan. He then manipulated to have her marriage fall apart by getting Gary to drink again and taking Lucy from her and in the process forcing her off Southfork where she ended up returning back to her family. What's never properly addressed is why both Jock and Miss Ellie took a backseat to all of this and worse still not bothering to intervene. Which means they were either blind to what was going on or couldn't care less. Either way, as patriarch and matriarch of the family their lack of involvement in all of this doesn't paint either of them in a particularly good light.

The writers of the show did that on purpose in order to make more drama so more people will continue to tune in. They couldn't get Dallas to be too boring or too Walton's like for that matter.

Kinda like the way most of the Carringtons (especially Alexis) felt about Sammy Jo on "Dynasty.

woohooboy Jock was as big of a jerk as JR was an Ellie was a spineless enabler.
