Okay now chill. Everybody knows that they are just characters. But like it or not shows like this can teach some good life lessons what to do and what not to do even from characters
JR was never meant to be a husband to any woman and didn't deserve anyone to love him. Like Miss Ellie once asked him, "Is there anyone that you love?"
JR toughened Sue Ellen up, what he did was for her own good. She even said so herself. She was a neurotic power hungry nymphomaniac as well as being as a hopeless drunk. It took JR's cruelty to get her to stand on her own two feet. Whilst getting JR and Sue Ellen divorced a 2nd time was a good idea getting rid of Sue Ellen wasn't. They should havd had her as JR's equal and all powerful and the two at each others throats in business. Cally was a weak character and a mistake and by this stage the writing was poor. James and Michelle were alao weak characters. The writers also turned JR into a joke. There was one scene with Michelle in his shower butt naked and the old JR would have banged her. There were other weak storylines like it took JR 10 years to bed Sly. I thought he would havr done it sooner.
JR wasn’t a good husband. Sue Ellen was a alcoholic but she wasn’t a nymphomaniac like JR would tell people (ie Dusty). JR might have helped make Sue Ellen strong but it came at the expense of him completely neglecting, cheating on her and tearing her down as a wife, mother and person.
Callie should have got about 5 million from J.R and then bounced. But seriously in real life would have been the biggest fool to let her go. She wasn’t a gold digger and tried to make herself useful.
To call J.R. a failure is propitious while he never treated the women in his life right based on being a power figure. And it's amazing how a good many fans take up for a girl like Cally in character not to been J.R.'s type at all practically jail bait for the late seasons of Dallas to be ultimate trash.
That was too good for Cally. She lied to JR from the start, said lied and she was pregnant to get married. She was a gold digger. It was back to the pig sty and her brothers for Cally but at least she had the chance to use that 200k to start afresh.
