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'm with you Jodi. I don't really get why they went to all that trouble of getting Bobby remarried only to have his new wife killed in Paris on honeymoon. I did watch it when it first aired but I don't really remember the story behind it. April got kidnapped and were held hostage by some gang and it had something to do with politics I think.
To be honest, I'm just amazed it took them that long to get rid of April. She always seemed like a pointless character to me and added nothing to the show. I were glad when they got shot of her (no pun intended!)
