Sue Ellen remembers J.R. & takes a drink after decades of sobriety

[@miriamhopkins8120]

I agree, Linda Grey should have been awarded an Emmy a loooooooong time ago.

[@EagleArrow]

I agree! Hands down! She is fabulous!

[@MsTexas73]

Yes. She was passed over on more than one occasion. This is one of them.

[@CaAnPeSe4ever]

This episode had some of the most brilliant scenes and writing I have ever seen. Linda Gray is such an underrated actress who has not been given the credit she deserves, I've always loved her. She and Larry Hagman had been best friends for 35 years from the early 'Dallas' days and for her to do this scene and the actual emotions she must have been feeling to do it, really impressive!

[@maxdogeful]

Linda did a great job. What a great actor...

[@suzannepitchford4558]

JR and Sue Ellen made my life a happier world. To me they are real and I can’t ever think of them as anything other than the characters that they portrayed. No other actors or series will ever equal the excellence of this show. It was absolutely superb

[@brandyl2183]

Got that right

[@ericagovea2262]

I am and always will be a Linda Gray fan an amazing actress I can't imagine anyone else playing the long suffering wife to Larry Hagman's J,R they were Dallas there fights legendary can any true Dallas fan imagine that show without them I think not .

[@kriskross21]

i miss this show.

[@gizzycatable]

I'm 39 and was a loyal watcher of the first Dallas. I remember when I was 6 years old back in 1980 and the "Who shot J.R." drama! I was astute to it back then and still am now. I love the new Dallas. RIP Larry Hagman though. I love it and it really does remind me of the old days too. My favorite character has always been Sue Ellen, since Christopher and that beautiful Dusty. She is a genius actress, Linda Grey is and watching her is such a pleasure to this day. Thank you!

[@Godfather9814]

I think once Larry Hagman died that was the end of the Dalles series especially for Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray since the three of them were so close for ages losing Larry was like losing their brother

[@tanedasmith9370]

Godfather9814 I agree, I wish they would Have incorporated the new Dynasty with the original somehow. At least we got to have Dallas back in a great way😍😍😪

[@terencebigt3825]

Agreed. What’s the point without JR. Even when Jock died, the show wasn’t quite the same but J R carried it on.

[@derrickjackson6737]

Sue Ellen WAS missing JR right here

[@robertscott8344]

Love can be cruel but your thoughts stays the same sue Ellen couldn't kick her feelings even how tough she became.

[@robertscott8344]

​@@tanedasmith9370 because that's a masterpiece and those memories concours on .

[@MrMermaid58]

I have loved this lady for over 30 years. Linda as a big fan base here in the UK.

[@YD-uq5fi]

Perhaps she should have sought additional acting jobs in the UK. She had few other roles in her career outside of on Dallas.

[@joannaclarke970]

when I saw Sue Ellen pick up that picture of her and JR my heart was crushed cause I know he's really dead and they were real friends

[@danielaschwarz1971]

Sad but so true,Sue Ellen aka Linda Grey and J R aka Larry Hagmann was the BEST FRIENDS and Sue Ellen(Linda Grey) &JR´s real wife May liked each other so much that they phoned very often privately ;-)))Sorry for my english please!

[@Richard-vq7ud]

Yes, she was not acting in this scene.

[@VolumedMusicMan]

I have to admit I shed a tear when I saw this. So many fond memories and history of the show. RIP JR Larry Hagman 🙏🏻

[@taraholloway7413]

That is me singin the song in the background of this scene! ("The Bottom", originally by the fabulous Mr. Waylon Payne!) i just created my first account here, and posted a new live concert video even hahaha ~i heart Sue Ellen! -t.h.

[@tashee8772]

Bought it because of this scene when it came out. Love this scene and song.

[@yiannis1969]

Cheers Tara !! the Netherlands Salute's you ... great song

[@scvbtr2]

Are you serious? Why would a big star leave a comment on youtube? Nice voice though.

[@taraholloway7413]

HAhahaHA - big star - that's me! :D

[@MsTexas73]

Tara Holloway This song was perfect for that moment. 👌🏾

[@terencebigt3825]

That was a drink of regrets, anger and lastly love. Sue Ellen never stopped loving JR, she only wanted him to be faithful and return her love for him.

[@gizzycatable]

I love Sue Ellen, she is the worlds most dedicated wife EVER. Her sobriety must have been important to her since 1993 or before. Having J.R. as a husband must be very hard on a person. I love them both.

[@MsTexas73]

Since 1986. That’s what made this scene so emotional. 💜💫✨😔

[@PungiFungi]

Once an alcoholic, always one. It never really goes away. In a way, the same with JR. He was always there, no matter how many times she divorced him and left him. Even when she did supposedly for good, the door was always there for her to return, he was always lingering in the back of her mind, that if she ever get into trouble, he will get her off. Now that door is finally shut she is now really at a loss of what to do. She is TRULY on her own now.

[@Richard-vq7ud]

My favorite Sue Ellen moment was when she told JR she was going to be the perfect mother and wife, but only for "public consumption". I was in high school when that aired. That phrase "public consumption" is so fitting for so many people. I love Linda Grey.

[@wjglll340]

"I've learned from you, J.R" "Darlin, the only thing you ever learned was vodka doesn't smell on your breath." Love me some JR.

[@stevegili]

What makes this real is in her mind as an actress are all the good times she had with Larry Hagman.

[@Tottenham1981]

last of the power couples on tv. rip mr hagman☹️

[@seand2711]

Nobody could put away liquor better than SueEllen.

[@RamonErazo-p7z]

I'll drink to that

[@erika8214]

Linda Grey and Larry Hagman TV's soulmates and real life friends. I hope the CW or any other TV network doesn't decide to remake Dallas with new cast. I miss this soap opera, but not enough for Hollywood to ruin it like they did with TNT's "Dynasty." I have been watching "Dallas" on Amazon Prime and I love it. @Nora X, Thank you for these scenes.

[@a.b.s_productions]

Time looks like it stood still for Linda Gray. She looks younger here then she did in the Dallas movie done in 1996.

[@scvbtr2]

Now come on! She looks awful. But, she is 70 yrs. old. We can't expect her to look good decades later. We have memories though.

[@a.b.s_productions]

j.d. Hogg Speak for yourself.

[@scvbtr2]

if you want to debate this we can, but be advised, I debate with my fists .

[@a.b.s_productions]

j.d. Hogg Smh. Dude, grow up.

[@eddpower5425]

It's kind of sad the way she raises the glass to salute JR right before she takes the first drink. She does it again after Gary leaves her office after closing the blinds so no one will see her (This time she raises it to the picture of JR on her desk).

[@ARAlexandr]

Please, give her Emmy nod for supporting actress for this episode!

[@maxdogeful]

I really felt her pain.

[@eddpower5425]

Poor Sue Ellen. She turned up to JR's funeral half cut!

[@EagleArrow]

My favorite scene of Linda playing Sue Ellen as a fun drunk was in the Braddock Bar when Ray & Bobby had to rescue her. I used to get upset with J.R's character as to why he wouldn't help her when she was drunk. (Dusty helped her & loved her through it.) But then I realized as time went on, it bothered J.R. tremendously to see her this way. Some men don't know what to do. Why Bobby, Pam & Ray saved her hide many times. I was like..nooo...don't do it Sue Ellen in the reboot.

[@MsTexas73]

That scene in the Braddock Bar in Wheeler Dealer is one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE DALLAS moments. Nobody ever talks about that so I am glad to see someone else mention it. That was a great scene. The bartender really saved her hide. He is the real hero. I do laugh when Sue Ellen goes to beat up on Bobby with her purse though. 🤣

[@JenniferPatrick-tc3lp]

Linda Grey deserves every reward except the raise for her role as Sue Ellen

[@AntoniusReginaldus]

That's how it works, yes. The first swig is potentially horrible. Then you make yourself take another one. Then you remember with the third one how much fun it was. Then you keep going and going, the way the clips of her pouring are sewn together. By then, the buzz is on the way and why not finish what's in front of her? There is tomorrow night too, etc.

[@tanedasmith9370]

😭😭😭😭😭this was soooo sad! Love Linda! Fan4Life !!

[@SandyZieglerVids]

Tara Holloway's 'Sins to Confess' cd, is where you will find 'The Bottom', which was written by Waylon Payne. Nobody sings it like my friend, Tara. Awesome cd !

[@cruehead355]

was I the only one that yelled out 'don't do it , don't do it" before her 1st sip?

[@eleanademera6371]

cruehead355 no I did that too

[@marlanaedwards5296]

Poor Sue Ellen. She loved JR so much that it was killing her.

[@MsTexas73]

Excellent, subtle performance by Linda. You can totally see Sue Ellen's pain, anguish, and regret as she takes that first sip. Her mind was telling her no, but her heart said yes. And now it will be back to step one for her with sobriety. She is INDEED OFF THE WAGON. ONE SIP IS ALL IT TAKES. There is no gray area with alcoholism and sobriety.

[@nyracingfan]

In recovery circles, this is what is known as “a case of the fuck it’s.”

[@gizzycatable]

I'm 39 and have watched Dallas since it first was on television. The charaters on this show are real to me now. JR, Sue Ellen, Bobby, Pam, Cliff, Lucy,Clayton and of course Jock and Miss Ellie. The new Dallas does the old one much justice. RIP Larry Hagman and RIP To my beloved JR Ewing

[@stephenm6100]

great song... rip jr larry h

[@johnwalsh4998]

I know the feeling..

[@LN-sw2cq]

I don't think she fell off the wagon, I think she drank to her JR (Larry Hangman)

[@Richard-vq7ud]

Sue Ellen and JR are a great example of a narcissitic soul mate and soul tie that never dies.

[@brucekulickfan4206]

As cool as it was to reboot this show, and even if Larry Hagman lived.....they could never capture or regain the magic of what this had originally. But you have to admire the effort and work that went into trying. RIP J.R. and Dallas.

Sue Ellen opens the letter that JR Ewing had wrote to her. At 2:00 she needed some booz so that she could read his letter to her. This is the first time, in 20 long years, that she is sober before reaching for the beverage.

Does anyone know who sings this song thanks.

[@free4zach]

Season 2 had meh ratings, but some of the best acting after JR died. You really felt the pain of the characters and that had something to do with the iconic show it is. I hope people tune into Season 3 and see the upcoming brilliance of John Ross becoming JR, Sue Ellen back a drunk, and Bobby trying to keep Christopher in moral check. I hope we see more Gary/Valene/Ray they need a couple more older characters

[@scvbtr2]

The bastards canclled the damn show! the pricks.

[@MsTexas73]

I think the bad ratings was due to the fact that it was on TNT. Had it been on one of the main networks I think it would have done better. Also TNT began moving it around as far as day.

[@kita5886]

Name of song please ?

[@eddpower5425]

This scene is sad. The way Sue Ellen touches JR's pillows and then takes out the letter before downing Scotch after Scotch. And the way she tips her glass to her wedding picture😭

[@nyracingfan]

I don’t think she downed vodkas in this series, just bourbons. Evolved with the times and the tastes I guess.

[@eddpower5425]

@@nyracingfan You're right. She did start on Bourbon and continued with it throughout her relapse.
