At the end of Wcth Season 10, Hallmark took a big gamble and broke up a beloved engaged couple, Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) and Lucas (Chris McNally). In addition, they shamelessly teased the dreaded love triangle with a cornucopia of intimate conversations between Elizabeth and Mountie Nathan Grant (Kevin McGarry).
Did this gamble pay off? The ratings are down, but how do they compare to last season’s premiere? Here are all the details.

Kim Gwizdala and Nikka Markarian have driven four hours to be here today. They’ve dressed in Dallas-style outfits (cropped jackets and black suede cowboy boots) and are sporting Reagan-era ’dos (blown out and heavily feathered). And now, these best friends from Las Vegas, both 32, will spend several more hours in line at a hotel in Burbank, waiting to meet the 83-year-old actress who, decades ago — before Gwizdala and Markarian were even born — played J.R. Ewing’s long-suffering wife. The character who tried to buy a baby on the black market, spent the better part of a season locked away in a sanitarium and whose sister shot her husband.

On April 2, 1978, CBS premiered its primetime soap opera Dallas, which would go on to run for fourteen seasons at the network. The Hollywood Reporter’s original review, which appeared as part of a TeleVisions column, is below:
Passing In Review: Melodrama emerges full blown with Dallas, a new CBS limited run series which debuted over the weekend, and with it TV has a new Peyton Place. As the title suggests, the series takes place in Texas — yes, Dallas, Texas — and revolves around the more sordid adventures, schemes and romances of the Ewing clan.
That’s short for Texas oil. The ads for the hour-drama read “A family ruthless in its quest for power and passion. Ready to destroy two people who dared their own blood for the right to love.” The two people, as it turns out, are Patrick Duffy of Man From Atlantis fame and Victoria Principal.

No TV show has truly had a series finale as long as the network or streaming service can produce a revival. TV sitcoms like Full House, Saved by the Bell, and Will & Grace returned. Dramas have reunited their casts, or at least passed the torch to the next generation. Here are six of the best TV drama revivals of the last decade.
Raymond Lee and Caitlin Bassett | Ron Batzdorff/NBC ‘Dallas’ revived the TV drama until real-life tragedy occurred
TNT brought back the hit drama Dallas with original cast members Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy, and Linda Gray as the original Ewings. Jesse Metcalfe, Josh Henderson, Jordana Brewster, Julie Gonzalo, and Emma Bell played the new generation battling over the family oil business.
Unfortunately, Hagman died while filming the second season. The show quickly adjusted existing footage to explain J.R. Ewing’s off screen death, but the show could never recover.

One of the most iconic shows of the late-’70s and ’80s, Dallas was Friday night’s must-see TV. The CBS series told the saga of two oil families, the wealthy Ewing family and the struggling Barnes family. The March 1980 cliffhanger episode, “Who Shot J.R.?,” took the U.S. by storm, with buzz building about the mystery throughout the summer and fall. When Dallas returned on November 21, 1980, 350 million people tuned in to find out who had shot J.R.
Since the 14-season drama ended, Dallas fans have fondly recalled the cast members. So, which ones are still alive?
Who were the main cast members of ‘Dallas’?
Prominent Dallas characters include Ellie and Jock, the matriarch and patriarch of the Ewing family. Scheming J.R. Ewing is their eldest son, and hard-drinking, long-suffering Sue Ellen is his wife.
Moral, handsome Bobby is J.R.’s younger brother and is married to the beautiful Pamela Barnes.

Since its first episode in 1987, The Bold and the Beautiful has provided audiences with a never-ending supply of drama, passion, and betrayal on the small-screen. And even though B&b is popular all over the world, it has lost its appeal over time. One of the biggest complaints about the show is that it repeats the same stories.

Storylines are essential to a show’s longevity, but many viewers of B&b have expressed frustration that the show is running out of material. To shake things up and breathe new life into the program, it might be time for one of the core families in The Bold and the Beautiful to leave Los Angeles.

Have you ever wondered how much your favorite soap star makes? You’re not alone. When it comes to filming and production, soaps are unique. The episodes air five days per week for an hour, so a lot of time onset is required. One can’t help but wonder how much the cast is paid for all that time.
Katherine Kelly Lang has played the role of Brooke Logan on The Bold and the Beautiful since 1987. Brooke is certainly an integral part of the show, and Lang has an impressive claim to fame as one of the show’s four core characters.
So how much does she make in a day? According to multiple sources, it’s a pretty generous paycheck. But it may not be as much as you think.

Even though she wasn’t billed as one of the show’s original six stars, Linda Gray was on the set of Dallas from the very first day of shooting. And she stayed there for 12 of the show’s 14 seasons — her 308 episodes rank her behind only Larry Hagman (all 357 episodes), Patrick Duffy (325), and Ken Kercheval (324) and make her the actress with the most appearances on the show. Looking back on the show after it was over, Gray spoke to us about what it was like to play such a memorable and juicy role, and how she helped make the character into one worth watching carefully.

It’s been 11 years since Patrick Duffy’s The Bold and the Beautiful character, Stephen Logan, left Los Angeles for Dallas. The actor’s reason? Dallas! Duffy exited the soap to return to his iconic role of Bobby Ewing on the TV reboot. Now Stephen is back for two more episodes, November 23 and November 28, surprising daughters Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), Donna (Jennifer Gareis), and Katie (Heather Tom) — and bringing along his new significant other, Lucy, played by Duffy’s real-life partner of more than two years, former Happy Days actress Linda Purl. Over the years, Duffy and B&b executive producer Bradley Bell had joked about Stephen’s return. (The two have a mutual friend who owns a ranch next to the actor’s in Oregon.) Then Bell suggested it for real. Recalls Duffy, “I said, ‘What if Stephen comes back with a woman on his arm?’” In the episodes, the...

"And then comes another threat in the form of the undersea mutant 'Namor', ruler of the kingdom of 'Talocan'.

Development in a 1970's TV pilot was also scrubbed...

Now that Disney has regained screen rights to Marvel superheroes "X-Men", "Fantastic Four", "Wolverine" and "Deadpool" from 21st Century Fox, next on the list is recovering rights to Marvel Comics' "Namor: The Sub-Mariner", paving the way for a big budget undersea adventure that could make DC's "Aquaman" look like 'Charlie The Tuna':
Plans fell through for a live action "Namor" TV series in the 1950's, starring Richard Egan, plus there was interest in a 1970's TV pilot that was scrubbed because of a similarity to the NBC series "Man from Atlantis" (1977), starring Patrick Duffy, that Marvel Comics licensed for publishing.
To date, Universal still controls screen rights to the "Hulk" and will only allow Marvel Studios to feature the character as part of an ensemble, rather than as the main character in a stand-alone film.
"I can't speak for the studios," said Marvel's Joe Quesada about Disney recovering screen rights to Namor from Universal.
