| Which character was originally scheduled to be killed off as early as the 5th episode of the 1st season? | 'Dallas'

Bobby Ewing. According to an interview with Camille Marchetta, scriptwriter and story editor of 'Dallas': Apparently, David (Jacobs -creator) initially intended that Pam should be the 'star' of the series, a Capulet stranded among the Montagues when her husband is killed. But when shooting started, and the actors began to inhabit their characters, the relationships among them began to develop in unforeseen ways. It was a question, I suppose you could say, of 'chemistry', not only between J.R. and Sue Ellen, or between Bobby and Pam, but between J.R.and Bobby, and between them and Miss Ellie and, above all, Jock. It was soon obvious to all who watched dailies -- unedited film -- that killing Bobby was not an option.
| When Jock's helicopter disappears in South America, three of his sons go down to help look for him. What is the item Bobby finds that convinces him his father is dead? | My Memories Of "Dallas" Pt. 1
|
medallion. In season 5's "The Search," Bobby joins in the search by diving into a small lake they believe the helicopter went down in. When he retrieves Jock's medallion on a chain he is convinced his daddy is gone for good.
Mark. I am not sure when this may have ever been spoken aloud, though I am sure it was at some point, but in season 5's "The Prodigal" we see it written on his birth certificate. JR is figuring out that Christopher is Kristen's baby and most likely his as well. When he receives the birth certificate, you can see it is clearly typed on there.
Roger. Roger Larson was played by Dennis Redfield. He jumps into her car and forces her to drive away in the episode "Vengeance". Dennis had some small roles in "Problem Child" and "Problem Child 2".
1. In the first season, also know as the TV mini-series, we see winter and snow just once. In the episode "Winds Of Vengeance" two men come to the ranch looking for revenge on JR and Ray for having an intimate relationship with their wives. Brian Dennehy and Cooper Huckabee played the two men.
Jeff Farraday. Both JR and Jeff had type B blood, which matched the baby's blood type. Kristen miscarried her first pregnancy, which was presumably JR's baby. Kristen blackmailed Jordan Lee into thinking he was the father, as well as having JR think it was his. Bobby and Pam uncovered the truth in Los Angeles in the season five finale episode "Goodbye Cliff Barnes".
Muriel. We find this out in "Goodbye Cliff Barnes" as well as the real father of baby Christopher. In season six's "Billion Dollar Question" Lucy aborts the pregnancy that came out of that rape. Pam joins her at the hospital and later tells Bobby about it.
Marvin. In the season six episode "The Big Ball" Punk reveals that his dear old friend Jock Ewing is the one who hung the name "Punk" on him. Also in this episode, Punk announces that from that point on every year four young people will get a full scholarship to college in Jock's name.
