Wife wakes to find husband she thought was dead... alive

[Jenasaurus]

Thirty six years ago today this woman woke to find her dead husband alive and having a shower!

Thank you for replying, that was nice of you! I can just imagine it now. I bet you didn't expect him to be in the shower though!

All storylines must have rewinded six months! They really, really wanted him back!

Used to watch Dallas with my Dad, it was one of the few programmes he watched. So we'd sit together with sandwiches just the two of us, precious memories.

At the end of every episode, my lovely Auntie used to say
"And you think you've got problems..."

wow I feel old. used to love that and Knotts Landing.

Really was the final nail in the coffin for that show when they did that. Loved it though!

Also remember Sons and Daughters and Cell block H.
Back when tv shows had great theme songs.
"Sons and daughters, lobe and laughter, tears and sadness and happinessssss" and
"You used to bring me roses, I wish you would again, but that was on the outside, and things were different then, on the outside the sun still shines" 😁 good times!

I think that was the Colbys of Calofornia ?

It basically killed Dallas, you can't have people watch an entire season of TV and then tell them that "it was all a dream" without making them feel that they've wasted their time. If they'd wanted to bring Bobby Ewing back, fair enough, come up with some convoluted reason why he's not dead, don't just retcon the show back to before he died.

Yes, all the storylines were abandoned so it was really hard to get back into it. I seem to remember Ray was about to adopt a little boy. Then he was just gone. And wasn't Pam married to someone else?

It was a very silly story line and I stopped watching it soon after.
I did, however, watch all the episodes I had missed years later on UK gold. A great way to spend maternity leave afternoons 😀
Followed immediately afterwards by Juliet Bravo

Omg 36 years! I used to love Dallas. That storyline was rubbish though. I always thought a better storyline would’ve been Bobby was kidnapped and replaced with a lookalike just before the accident, and it was the lookalike that was killed not him!

I also stopped watching. No character's popularity could ever justify this nonsense. But it's nostalgic to look back on it all the same.

I loved the Australian programmes. Always the same actors popping up in the same ones. I think I read some where that they didn't have many actors in Oz so the same ones where always appearing 😀😁

I preferred him in The Man from Atlantis. 🥰😂

'Swellin you aint nothin' but a drunk and a no good mother! Said almost every week. Poor Sue Eillen, talk wnout a coercive relationship.
JR was shot by Bing Crosby's daughter and the shower scene was the idea of Patrick Duffy's wife. He played Bobby.

I wish we had re-runs of Dallas and the spin-off Knots Landing.

That would have been far more believable 🤣🤣

I used to watch it with my gran at her house. My parents wouldn't let me watch it so big treat when staying over at the GPs

No OP, i think you'll find 36 years ago a women woke to find she wasn't the bride at the previous day's wedding {if i recall correctly, she thought her old flame.new husband was in the shower}

And that the guy in the shower had cost several actors their job {anyone new in the year long dream had to go}

And he was still dead in California {Knots Landing}

36yrs!

Loved it at first!

Have a vague recollection of Lucy & Ray(?) in a barn?? in the first episode?

Interesting fact. Suella Braverman, whose real name is Sue-Ellen, turns out she was born one month after JR got shot 😂😂 Her mum was definitely a fan of Dallas

I should hope so too!
It’s a desperately weak storyline.
I think Sue Townsend used that plot twist in a book that was crushingly disappointing..
A book about The Queen living on a council estate.

It could have been worse she could have called her Miss Ellie 🤣

Thank you for the memories, @Jenasaurus, I remember it well!

I really enjoyed the storyline where Sue-Ellen got herself together and started a fashion business, then hired JR’s mistress (Mandy?) as a model.

Dallas was amazing
