You guys are bringing back characters I'd totally forgotten.

Cally was so pretty. Had she left JR by the end?

Jenna Wade(?), wasn't she the character Priscilla Presley played?
And did any other actress play her?

Lucky for me that you can watch it at TNT's website,
since I ditched DirectTV.

I'm pretty sure Cally & JR were divorced - if not in the series then definitely in the three tv movies that aired later.

Jenna Wade was played by Priscilla Presley, but not originated by her.

Interesting. I just recalled Cliff Barnes had a daughter with Afton, middle name... Rebecca. Hmmm....

I believe the new series is filmed entirely in Dallas, but the interiors are a set in a studio somewhere in Dallas. Not sure if they have an outdoor set or if everything outside is actually filmed at the ranch but it's safe to say what we've seen so far has been filmed at Southfork (for exteriors).

Cally left JR in the last season and was pregnant when she left (I think!). JR and Cally's wedding is actually one of my favorite episodes of Dallas ever, despite being in one of the not so well liked "later seasons." The storm forcing everyone (including Sue Ellen and her future husband Don, as well as Cliff Barnes) to bunk at Southfork along with the bridge and groom was hilarious.

Priscilla Presley did indeed play Jenna Wade for years, but I want to say there were others who played the role before her briefly. Morgan Fairchild and possibly someone else.

I visited "Southfork" ranch in Dallas 2 years ago. At the tour they explained only outdoors scenes were filmed there, never the indoors (those were in California). You can enter the house and see the dining room, Bobby's bedroom, Lucy's bedroom, but all that is just like a tribute, they said they never filmed on those rooms.

I guess it's the same in this new show.

Sorry, I had assumed that when they said sound stage they meant LA, like the old show. Guess it's alldone in Dallas now - excellent. Yes, all exteriors are done on the ranch itself.

Yeah this was the same when I went last year. You can walk all around the exterior but not much inside at all. There was only one exterior part we couldn't go through because they were filming scenes for the new show.

I wish they did not kill off Tina Louise from Gilligan's Island that played Julie Grey.

Did she see/date Jock? And even possibly JR?


Tonight's the night. I'll have to avoid this thread
until I see the latest episode!
