Primetime soaps wouldn’t be what they are now if it wasn’t for the granddaddy of them all… Dallas.
A couple of months ago, we reported on the possibility of the Texan drama making a comeback to our television screens. This morning, The Hollywood Reporter announced that TNT, who is behind the nouveau Dallas 2.0, has hired Cynthia Cidre (“Cane”, Mambo Kings) to write the pilot episode. TNT is keeping mum about plot details and want to see what Cidre brings to the table first before moving forward with the project.
The concept thrown around a couple of months ago would have had the revival to follow the exploits of John Ross Ewing III, the son of the evil J.R. Ewing and alcoholic Sue Ellen Ewing, and Christopher, Bobby and Pam Ewing’s adopted son. No word on whether or not these elements will end up in the Cidre version of the show.
THR also reports that original series stars Larry Hagman (J.R), Patrick Ewing (Bobby) and Linda Gray (Sue Ellen) have been approached to have roles in the new show. They “may or may not appear” , but again, nothing is set in stone.
So I am excited. Now can when we get Dynasty back on the air? Please and thank you.
