DALLAS | J.R. Sends Sue Ellen Back To The Bottle Again

[@Mister_Listener]

Six months later i am back to watch this again. That music!! That music score is awesome!

[@RK-eb4iu]

1:36 - “But first…” Such a great scene. The chemistry between Linda Gray and Larry Hagman was superb. One of my favorite shows!

[@doge2899]

Not to mention the chemistry between Linda Gray and Alcohol

[@RK-eb4iu]

@ : Great actress.

[@chipmunkvernoy]

Bobby doesn't even take her shoes off... LOL!

[@legendbucwild]

Haha, I always crack up at the Bobby-shade...... JR verbally destroys her, but instead it's all that dang Bobby not taking the shoes off...... I love it!

[@robertscott8344]

​@@legendbucwildJr could do everyone in and under the same roof they all were what a shame.

[@DanDgl01]

Bobby cared, for her, much better.

[@chipmunkvernoy]

@@legendbucwild .. The "Bobby-shade"?? Well, of course Bobby wasn't as bad as JR. For that matter, Bobby was better to Sue Ellen than she was to him .... Still.... he could have taken off her damned shoes!

[@christopherkraft1327]

Poor Sue Ellen, JR sure knows how to trigger her drinking, he's diabolical for exploiting her weakness!!! 🤠

[@MrCraigblaze]

Considering whenever HE walks into a room he makes a B-Line right for the alcohol cart !!

[@lekishabridges4303]

JR drove her to it.

[@christopherkraft1327]

@@lekishabridges4303 he certainly did. 🙄

[@lesleyfitzpatrick2305]

He's A SKANK For What He Did To SUE ELLEN, & Her Sister KRISTEN & CALLY, He Would Have SOLD His Momma For A Profitable Oil Deal, But MISS ELLIE Always Seemed To Know What He Was Up To, & Very Rarely Let Him Get Away With His NASTY Ways When She Could Help It.

[@Cocoyog]

It's like JR left the glass on the table on purpose. 🤔

[@mehmetokay7073]

Munchausens by Proxy.

[@carlodonn8983]

My mum said the sane thing all thoses years ago when this was first aired.

[@davidroache8655]

Of course he did.

[@robertscott8344]

​@@carlodonn8983Sue Ellen looks like she had already been drinking once she entered the room he reered her in to have her recommitted.

[@robertscott8344]

What is that Scotch on the rocks 🥶?

[@petersmith1788]

The score starting after the 1:40 mark when Sue Ellen looks at the drink is one of the greatest scores in TV history.

[@geoffreyhollinden7084]

And why didn't JR go straight to the hospital if he's such a great parent?

[@robertscott8344]

He wanted to make her feel guilty because of her drinking habit.

[@phylomenad1145]

True!

[@ms.trishs6481]

These were pure magic!!! Babbbbby!!

[@ddmck1972]

Very convenient how JR leaves that drink next to the phone before he marches upstairs.

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

I think he did it on purpose

[@Mister_Listener]

The music in this scene in incredible, but the final dramatic notes were cut off.

[@bobbygill2798]

Love Dallas. Love JR and Sue Ellen. Which episode is this and which series. Can anyone tell me please. By the way - my sister just got me all the full series for my birthday. We are going to watch them again together from the very start. 😊 Best Wishes All. Bobby

This was from season 8, episode 27 😊

[@robertscott8344]

​@how many episodes did this season have Bobby struck by the car at the end.

[@heidimountain606]

JR was really hard on Sue Ellen here, it wasn’t her fault that John Ross was sick. Plus Clayton and Miss Ellie were staying with him, JR was at work, he certainly wasn’t going to stay home with a sick child.

[@benoit9503]

She was so beautiful and stil is

[@robertscott8344]

What happened how was he illed?

[@DanDgl01]

She was my favourite, on Dallas. I hated, the way, she was treated.

[@trentmonaghan179]

Poor Sue Ellen... She's like me when I'm under stress and see that big piece of cake sitting in front of me that I know that I shouldn't eat. 😂

[@pekkaollila8505]

Why couldn't Miss Ellie, who has the uppest authority in that house, say 'No more booze!' to the household. So there wouldn't be a stuffed liquor cabin in the sitting room 24/7. If JR and Bobby thirsted bourbon, they could go to town.

[@doge2899]

Because this was a 1980s soap opera, drinking was a necessity

[@REGGIRT-4011]

Sue Ellen was programmed by her mother to bag a rich man for security but she fell in love also. Look for the episodes of her mother

[@overcomerbtboj]

Yeah the dysfunction sue ellen and kristin were raised in was obvious in those episodes- a therapist’s gold mine

[@jaja6433]

Pauvre sue Hélène...la phrase : l argent ne fait pas le bonheur prend ici tout son sens...bonjour de Lille en France .😊

[@DanDgl01]

Alcohol seemed to be, a norm, in that household. Quite scary, to be honest!

[@therealsongstress]

Get it Linda Gray aka Sue Ellen

[@eequalsmc2sqrd59]

Is Leah’s intrigued me as a child about how they knows she was addicted to alcohol but it was just left there day in day out …. But yet so soft drinks were there as alternatives if you didn’t want alcohol

[@robertscott8344]

They're safe keeping was the alcohol be on lockdown in these situations.

[@W81Researcher]

This was 85 right?

[@darrendunn134]

I'm thinking 84 85 season

[@robertscott8344]

Right thinking 🤔 Bobby helping Sue Ellen when his own life in danger ⚡.

[@legendbucwild]

Wow co-parenting before cell phones must've been hell....... today, one text could've prevented this whole thing

[@robertscott8344]

Sue Ellen must have been in his care and left unintentionally while under the influence of alcohol Jr might have set her up leaving the liquor 🥃 unlocked it usually is.

[@legendbucwild]

@@robertscott8344 JR was banging Mandy Winger at the time, so he was looking for any excuse to run Sue Ellen off. John Ross' appendix issue, while very tragic for JR, also kinda fell right in his lap as an opportunity to guilt her back into the bottle and one step closer to that sanatorium.

[@rodneyvoshell9296]

JR the master manipulator. Larry Hagman played the role perfectly

[@MrCraigblaze]

Thanks for the upload !! The musical score in this scene is incredible !! This must be when Linda was reluctantly rehired And the show told Linda that Sue Ellen was going DOWN !!!!

[@W81Researcher]

She didn't go down at all. She went out on top four years later.

[@darrinbaker00]

Let me guess…Bobby barges into J.R.’s room and punches him out.

[@legendbucwild]

Nah, mistreatment of Sue Ellen was never a punch-worthy offense with Bobby..... it landed more in the lecture-territory.

[@wb3381]

Why did she cut her hair

[@Mister_Listener]

@@wb3381to look like Michele Lee in Knots Landing!

[@wb3381]

@Mister_Listener The never never ending competition

Old Jock Junior

[@louiseyvette2261]

"Unfit mother" yeah sure

[@travisjames3517]

Sue Ellen is so rote.

[@lesleyfitzpatrick2305]

Is JR Like LARRY Or Is It LARRY Like JR.

[@robertscott8344]

Not ether just a TV show character.

[@COACHINHBALL]

No wonder Jock loved Bobby better.
