Dallas: Miss Ellie tells Sue Ellen not to spoil her day

[@deannawillis9678]

Mrs. Ellie was such a wise lady.

[@mark1968]

Barbara Bel Geddes was fantastic. She would have been 100 years old this year.

It struck a nerve with Miss Ellie....because she knew Sue Ellen was right.

[@amzyjones1780]

Yep.

[@amateur_football9751]

Bobby wasn't unfaithful to the best of my knowledge, so Sue Ellen was wrong, but even if she was right, this was not the place for those comments

Miss Ellie just gave those lovely ladies of Southfork, a Southworth Smackdown! Lol

[@laminage]

Yep. She didn't play. Remember when Sue Ellen threatened to throw Pam out of Southfork when she "takes over". Jock was in The Hospital recovering from his Heart Attack.

[@robertmasina7388]

That was neat of Miss Ellie, a nice woman with a tough side.

[@ddmck1972]

Can anyone imagine how the Donna Reed version of Miss Ellie would have played this out? She would have told off Sue Ellen in a nice way, then smiled as she left the table. "If you have problems, tell me all about them, and stay here today to wallow in your self pity. Now, I'm going inside to fix my hair and put on a more glamorous outfit." "If you have problems, do something about them. But don't just mope around here and spoil my day!" That was powerful stuff.

[@jimtetreault5553]

I always felt Donna Reed was never given a fair shot, she was an academy award winning actress, she never was given an opportunity to make the role hers.

[@jaredjlinden]

Donna Reed’s Miss Ellie also would have added, “Please go inside and clean your room.”

[@EagleArrow]

Miss. Ellie grace and strength!

[@jasonmichael3676]

She ended-up falling to pieces in a tremendously pathetic way over Clayton.

[@laminage]

God, in This Episode you saw just how Co-Dependent Sue Ellen was. In reality The Only Real Woman of Southfork is "Miss Ellie". Donna never bought into the Ewing Lifestyle and Jenna only came in as circumstance.

[@citygirl5705]

Sue Ellen was very co-dependent, but towards the later seasons, her character became one of the most independent and smartest on the show. She even got revenge on JR in the most brilliant way.

[@felix121984]

Her character was went through the most amazing growth than any other character on Dallas. She went from selfish and repressed her earlier years to selfless and empowered in her latter half.

[@stevebbuk]

That's true but I didn't like the underwear venture, which was tacky. Linda Gray was a good actress despite some of the comments here and did seem to grow in stature, unlike Donna Krebs who seemed to be too full of the low-fat diet prevalent in the 1980s.

[@jasonmichael3676]

Miss Ellie was very pathetic and fell to pieces over Clayton later. Maybe she was so upset here because she knew Sue Ellen was right.

[@der22672]

I loved when they were on location filming scenes at the real SouthFork. They were always outside scenes. You can always tell when they would go back to the soundstage version of SouthFork. 😊😊. I was disappointed when they stopped filming on location. 😔😔

[@bloqk16]

So, Miss Ellie spoke to her granddaughter Lucy. How come we never hear of Miss Ellie speaking to her favorite son, Gary? In fact, with the wealth and time that Miss Ellie has in her life, how come she never traveled to Knots Landing to visit her favorite son?

[@mthivier]

After the "whole season was just Pam's dream" fiasco -- which also screwed up the continuity on "Knots Landing" -- Val had named one of her twins Bobby after learning of Bobby's tragic passing on "Dallas", which, now, inexplicably, never happened -- the producers of KL vowed to stop including cross-over references to "Dallas". Perhaps "Dallas", in turn, decided to no longer refer to KL characters either?

[@robertscott8344]

​@@mthivier but they've still had connections and Valene named her twin boy Bobby still his death was just a dream.

[@ddmck1972]

I'm surprised not one of these women, particularly Donna, didn't up and smack Sue Ellen. It was totally uncalled for of Sue Ellen to compare JR to the other Ewing brothers who had the morals that JR did not.

[@PungiFungi]

Isn't this right after the revelation that the previous season was all a dream? When Linda Gray walked into the scene, it seems all the others looked deflated and defeated from what the show just pulled.

[@MissterX]

NO, women never do ANYTHING wrong in the relationship! They are always the victims!

[@PaulyWally30]

I always get confused by that actress at 1:29, the one who came out in Knots Landing and the other in Falcon Crest. They are all blondes but have a similar look.

[@kcheylin9957]

The "Donna" character got sucked into a bad bet and got stuck with that nasty "Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam" haircut. DANG.

[@MrCraigblaze]

Do you have the knots landing season premiere that counter balanced this? Just disapeared. Its from this moment that the two shows were kept seperate.

[@bfsgman]

@@MrCraigblaze I disagree. This was the last great season of the show in my opinion. The only part I didn't like was the opening episode where they revealed the previous season was all a dream. The show never recovered from that. After this season, the show got progressively campy and ridiculous.

[@MrCraigblaze]

True..!!..XD

[@maxipazz8214]

Jenna wade was never an official lady of south fork was she?

[@stevebbuk]

Now let me see: Jenna lived three miles from Southfork and jilted Bobby at the altar following her break-up with Maynard Anderson. Bobby marries Pam but sleeps with Jenna whilst Pam is away, thinking that he's Charlie's father, but really that is Renaldo Marchetta, whom Jenna remarried after jilting Bobby again and Bobby deciding that he wanted to remarry Pam, so Jenna had an affair with Jack, but discovers that she's expecting Bobby's child, so she marries Ray and moves with him to Switzerland.

[@davido.p.9850]

Nope. She could never manage to snag Bobby, best she ended up with was Ray, and that made no sense. Her character changed when Priscilla got the role, the old Jenna would have angled straight for JR, which would have been great story. Oh well.

[@KAMALAISHERNAME]

I should've known miss Ellie would blame one of the wives for HER SON'S actions. I find this clip very peculiar, as in earlier episodes, miss ellie blatantly told JR that HE was the reason Sue Ellen took up drinking or left SF on various occasions. Now, miss Ellie is lowkey blaming Sue Ellen for JR's "absentee" behavior???? Very peculiar clip indeed. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I never cared for Ellie or Sue Ellen but for once Ellie was right. Sue Ellen never ever took responsibility for anything. She never cooked or took care of John Ross or anything but griped and complain about her life was so unfair even though she was rich. Wealth has a price to pay and JR was no saint but he understood that you must be tenacious to survive and thrive in the business world. If Sue Ellen was so unhappy she should have spent more time getting a job or raising John Ross rather than hating JR all the time.

Why blame the women if the men weren’t there?! Wtf old woman? Bobby had gone back to Pam. Hardly Jennas fault. Donna and Ray were having issues, but that was Rays problem not being able to deal with a strong woman, and JR was being JR. Miss Ellie knew ALL about JRs antics. The rot started to set in with the writing this season.

[@KAMALAISHERNAME]

Exactly. I didn't understand this clip AT ALL. In the EARLIER episodes, Miss Ellie almost ALWAYS insisted that JR was the "MAIN CAUSE" for his failed marriage, from his manipulation of Sue Ellen to his numerous extramarital affairs. I'm very shocked to hear miss Ellie in this clip blatantly suggesting that Sue Ellen is to blame for her husband's "absentee" shenanigans.

IMO, this was the last of the great seasons. Wes Parmalee, Bobby and Pam's remarriage, BD Calhoun, and the loss of Ewing Oil were executed perfectly. Granted, I wasn't a fan some of the clothes and hairstyles either, but that trend really began two seasons earlier. The fact is it was the style of the time. As for Presley, she was never a great actress. Even so, her acting here is better than it was in the dream season. She was so shrill that season I couldn't stand it. Even though she was only in one episode, Morgan Fairchild will always be my favorite Jenna Wade.
