I started watching Dallas again. It was something I used to watch with my mom and until I started watching Dallas again, I forgot how much I enjoyed it. I'm now coming to the end of the show and I'm at the bit where April Ewing was shot dead on her honeymoon. When it was first shown, we were all shocked and upset for Bobby. But now I just think it was a real weird way to write April out of the show. I mean Bobby had already lost one wife in tragic circumstances, and now he's lost another in tragic circumstances again and just five minutes after his wedding! Why have them get married at all if all the writers were going to do was kill of April? Couldn't the writers just give Bobby a break?
Did anyone else think that was weird? And before anybody says so, yes, I know it's not real life! I'm just wondering why the writers went in the direction that they did.
I have no idea why the Dallas writers went down the route they did with regards to the April character but I do feel they kept her on the show for far longer than they needed to. Jenna Wade was another one.
