When you are young and in love you are painfully naive to the point of sheer stupidity. Bobby & Pamela had the Romeo/Juliet Vibe in the sense that their love would stop a nearly 45 Year Old Feud. It's too bad Jock and Digger couldn't meet privately and talk their "Issues" out. I think that for Digger blaming Jock for what happened to him made it easier not to blame "himself".

Also, as you will recall, at one point Bobby& Pam were leaving SouthFork for good at one point, but after what happened to JR, they had to come back and Bobby running Ewing oil....etc I always joke the Bobby & Pam might of been off elsewhere in Soap Land if not for that.

Here's sme fun casting facts. Robert Foxworth (Ex-Chase Gioberti) was considered to play either Bobby or JR while Linda Evans (Ex-Krystle Carrington Dynasty) and Judith Chapman (Gloria Bardwell The Young & The Restless) were considered for the Role Of Pam. Bobby was supposed to Die and he left Pam his fortune of Half A Billion Dollars. I don't think that the Writers had any idea of how successful the show would be. In another part of the world JR is known as Jockey, in French it's G R sounding like Gee R. Also Larry Hagman wasn't impressed by Linda Gray's Acting and he almost got her Fired but she ended up being a successful Director.

[@superfirmino7164]

More interesting facts. Originally when Dallas aired the primary focus was always going to be in Bobby and Pam the modern day Romeo and Juliet. JR was to be merely a secondary character. However it was eventually rewritten when the character of JR became hugely popular and the height of the popularity resulted in the season 3 cluff-hanger known as 'A house divided' and JR being shot. That also was due to Larry looking for a pay rise due his popularity. It was Larry that turned JR Ewing into the character everyone loved to hate. He was loved because he was so evil.

[@dannycarrington1601]

Mary Frann (of "Newhart") was considered for Sue Ellen. "Dallas" creator David Jacobs was inspired by "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" and "Giant". Barbara Bel Geddes played Maggie the cat in "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" on Broadway.
