The Takapa story was, as I recall, originally supposed to go much longer but they wrapped it up quickly because Jim Davis's health was failing fast. They needed a way to wrap it up while he could still perform as well as he did; he struggled mightily, but he kept it up as long as he could do it, and then they sent Jock and Miss Ellie to Europe. I do love how Miss Ellie accepted and embraced Ray; by the latter seasons, he was as much a son to her as her own. Ray loved Southfork and had always been such a strong and steady presence in her life, and he reminded Miss Ellie of Jock in so many ways. Plus he was always there when he needed her.

Absolutely! They wanted the Late Phil Carey (Ex-Asa Buchanan) from One Life To Life to play him but he said no. John Bolger Tanked as Phillip Spaulding on Guiding Light but became successful on Another World and One Life To Live. His Uncle played The Scarecrow in The Wizard Of Oz.

After 40 years of marriage, she would’ve been comfortable enough with Jock to answer his stupid question that way, making a sweet moment even sweeter. Plus, it would’ve shown Ellie had a sense of humor instead of just being a comfort or a scold, the only two modes the writers seemed to have for her.

[@scottmoore1614]

Didn’t the Takapa deal start all that trouble with Jock and Ellie?

[@jasongilmore8595]

One thing you should note about this scene. If you rewatch it you will note Jim Davis is only seen with Barbara Bel Geddes for a split second in this entire sequence--- otherwise it is just upclose shots of him when he speaks--- There isn't even an embrace between Jim Davis and Barbara Bel Geddes... why? Well Jim Davis was very ill when this was filmed- he would die months later of Cancer. They filmed his shots and edited them in- he was having a very hard time with his lines by then and his stamina was not good--- I would say that explains the "coldness" between the two even at the end without any embrace... just a thought... Barbara's master shots were probably filmed with a standin or maybe even nothing in front of her as she delivered her lines to "Jock"... this wrap up of the Takapa fallout and "Jock and Miss Ellie's" rift was wrapped quickly into a happy place because they knew Jim Davis was dying and in all likelihood not live to see the next season.

Gary was driven away, but it was because JR. Ray had nothing to do with it.

[@laminage]

Steve Kanaly and Barbara Bel Geddes should have won Emmys for this Scene. Yet you saw a lot of Baggage being dealt with. Miss Ellie with some justification resented Ray because he was Jock's Son from an Affair. Maybe she felt that she wasn't enough for him. Also, keep in mind that maybe in Ray Miss Ellie saw a Strength that Gary didn't have. I think that part of the reason why Ray was wiling to give up the trust was because he may have felt that he had to make amends. When Gary #1 then played by David Ackroyd and Ray showed him The Books for Southfork, Gary wasn't interested. That alone showed you that he wasn't ready to take on any responsibility. Also, Ray may have been worried that Gary would take his job away from him and remember Ray did more for Southfork than Gary ever did, so in some ways he was just as much a Southworth because he too loved the land. Also, Ray didn't show any resentment that he didn't grow up with the perks of being a Ewing that Bobby, JR and Gary had although he squandered it.

You can see how sick Jim Davis was here. His cheeks bloated from steroids and wearing a wig from cancer treatments. He worked that entire time and never complained once. What a man! RIP!

Gossip... Karen...

[@MissterX]

@@billhosko7723 uh, it's not "gossip" lol. You don't know what words mean. Gossip: "casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true." It's confirmed Jim died of cancer and it's also confirmed by multiple cast members in multiple interviews that he worked while violently ill and had to wear a wig because of chemo. Another fact not making this gossip is that this episode was filmed as he was dying of cancer and shortly before he left the show. Go buy a dictionary and read it, because that was an ignorant comment.

[@jasongilmore8595]

@@billhosko7723 Would you shut up with the "gossip" thing? There are INTERVIEWS RECORDED With Steve Kanaly, Susan Howard, Victoria Principal and others stating how hard he worked that last season and wanted to work even though he was ill and bloated from the chemo and having to wear a wig.... so please sit down with your ridiculous "gossip" comments

I was in love with Barbara

Ellie doesn't need that bastard child showing up ruining things. - 😅

So this all started when Gary said Ray will take care of Southfork!

I'm glad Miss Ellie got her anger & hurt out.

[@tonyatmidnight]

At the heart of DALLAS wasn't family, it was the passion between Jock and Ellie, which started an empire. All the stories always came down to them. Everything was outside their inner circle. When Jock passed, the show lost that. He haunted the story for years to come, but the real DALLAS truly ended when Jock and Ellie could no longer bring the story back to them.

[@allengilbert9545]

Just a few observations: Ray matured into a good man; of all the actors and actresses on the show, I think Barbara Bel Geddes may have been the most talented; CBS hit a home run...no parts have ever been better played than Jim Davis as Jock and Larry Hagman as JR; Gary was a deadbeat; Donna was the best-looking wife on the show.

Allen Gilbert JR intimidated Gary.He wasn't up to the oil business antics.

[@patrickperalta59]

@@rahlohmcdonogh280 , JR may have intimidated Gary but he had his reasons JR was selfish he wanted Ewing Oil all to himself he never wanted to share the company with Bobby and Gary. Dispite that being Jock's wishes as we found out during the reading of his Will...before he thought up the contest.

Gary's more of a beach guy.

Quelle season ? Quel épisode ?

Actors remain Actors !!They are paid to be someone else !! And we're supposed to follow

[@aceautographs]

you can tell jim davis was sick.

[@flilguy]

You can tell Jim Davis is not in good health. Although the music and the acting reminded me of a western movie from the 1950s.

[@kimberlywhitehead22]

Gary's feeling of being unloved and neglected by jock and Ms Ellie for JR....technically Jock was married to Amanda when he got Gary. So I really don't see why Ms. Ellie was upset. Jock never cheated on her.

[@KeithFroehlich07]

Jim Davis was one tough son of a bitch, he was loaded with brain cancer during these scenes, and you could really tell he was struggling. But like the pro he always was he got through it the best he could. Friend of mine who worked on the Dallas set told me that Davis was most focused actor on the show, he would remember his lines after reading the script once. That final scene with BBG seemed more like a real goodbye than just a scene on television.

I always get depressed watching season 4. It’s sad seeing Mr.Davis deteriorating as the season progresses. The show was never quite as good without Jock.
