Dallas: Jock tells Miss Ellie about his first wife Amanda.

[@adelefarough5123]

I love the way Miss Ellie dresses with sweaters and pearls, the simple skirts and pumps. I'm in my mid-60's, and I'm thinking that I should probably look at that style. It's so simple and classic. You could still get away with that look today.

That’s right John sr was 18 when he married to Amanda and 22 when he divorced her. Shortly after met miss Ellie. Ellie was born in 1917 In this time line it was revealed that Jock was born in 1915 that J R was Ellie was pregnant in 1937 born in 1938

Miss Ellie was the BOMB. Even JR did NOT want to cross Miss Ellie. She was the strength of the Ewing family but she had a lot of heart too.

[@msrain1235]

Well that's because he respected his mother. Did you ever watch the reboot of Dallas? John Ross put Sue Ellen in a psych ward. I thought to myself that JR would never do that to Miss Ellie. Patrick Duffy once said, in an interview, that no matter how old the Ewing men got mama and daddy were still mama and daddy meaning that they still respected them.

Jock only came clean about his first wife Amanda because he wanted to make sure that her medical bills and anything else, would be taken care of when he died. Like he said, when he was shot while dove hunting, he realized that he wasn’t going to live forever. Miss Ellie was reacting this way because she had breast cancer. Great acting and writing..

Not really at this time Jock didn't know Ray was his son. He did tell Miss Ellie after the War about the affair and that Ray was Margaret's son when Ray came to Southfolk after his mother's death. But Jock assumed Amos Krebbs was Ray's father not himself.

Seeing Jock smoking a cigarette, it could very well be one of the last scenes on American TV where the audience saw someone smoking on-camera in a TV drama.

[@ericnelson9100]

Joan Collins's Alexis was a regular smoker

[@ericnelson9100]

And this is what caused Jim Davis's death. He tried to stop many times but couldn't, even on doctors orders. This is what led to Larry Hagman's crusade against the tobacco industry. Several years later Dallas became the first production to entirely ban cigarette smoking on its set.

[@bloqk16]

@@ericnelson9100 Ah! Yes! The Alexis character with her cigarette holder.

[@bloqk16]

@@ericnelson9100 Jim Davis unable to quit cigarettes . . . I can understand the addictiveness of nicotine in my own family. My older brother started smoking in his late teens and could never quit, even after doing stints in the smoke-free environments of incarceration in county jails and state prisons. He admitted that each morning upon awakening while incarcerated, he craved for a cigarette. The first purchases he made upon release from incarceration was to buy cigarettes. Imagine being smoke-free for a year or two and not shaking-off the cigarette addiction. Both of our parents were smokers, but they managed to quit in the last years of their lives. Remarkably, Mom's respiratory system was in fine shape when she passed away at age 83. My dad, not so.

Back then men could keep secrets from their wives so easily. Jock had a first wife before Ellie and she had no clue. They were married for over 40 years. Nowadays women are private investigatiors. They feel something wrong they allow their women's intution to kick in.

[@laminage]

Yes. I remember hearing this heartbreaking Story in Essence (America's Longest Running African American Publication) in which a Woman was doing the Laundry and she saw Blood in the Back of her Husband's Underwear. She found out he was on The Down Low and had to go for a HIV Test. She was "Negative" but shortly afterwards she had to divorce him. Also Dallas was the Second Soap Opera to deal with Breast Cancer. The First was The Young & The Restless where The Mother Of The Brooks Sisters had a Mastectomy. On General Hospital Monica Quartermaine had a Mastectomy and Lillian Raynes and Reva Shayne both had Cancer to deal with.
