DALLAS’ Cynthia Cidre Becomes EP and Showrunner of New ABC Series BLOOD & OIL (Formerly OIL)!

So basically she quit fighting because they bought her off. They are going to try to recreate Dallas with newbies they don’t have to pay as much and it ain’t going to ever be Dallas.
When TNT cancelled DALLAS, everyone lost their jobs, including Cidre. How can you say she was “bought off” when she was basically fired? She never owned the rights to the show personally. Warner Bros. does. If any entity had the role of “fighting” for the show, it was WB; not Cidre. WB carries a lot more weight as a corporation than one executive writer-producer. I liked with Cidre did with updating DALLAS, and I think she’ll bring a lot of storytelling pizzazz to BLOOD & OIL.
Now she needs to recast the role of Don Johnson’s son with Josh Henderson.
That would be Great!
If she does that, I’m there! Josh Henderson needs a new tv gig!
Well it won’t be Dallas, but hopefully it will be a good prime time soap– with the success of Empire- let’s hope the trend continues with Blood and Oil. I’m glad she landed on her feet, maybe she might hire for this new show some of the talented actors that graced the Dallas reboot.
Blood and Oil seems to be something I would like..
There are many high power primetime soaps, they make daytime soaps look like antiques ..
But- GH is and always will be my #1 soap!
I’m looking forward to Blood and Oil ..
One thing that made TNT’s DALLAS really sing IMO was the music. There was a lot of really good music from bands or musicians popular in TX featured on the show. I hope Cidre brings the same style to BLOOD & OIL. Whenever I read the DALLAS Facebook comments after an episode, people were asking, “What was that song? Who was the performer? Where can I find it?”
I believe she will be a perfect fit for the show. She had alot of story ideas for the Dallas reboot that she didn’t have the opportunity to write. I’m excited to see what she does with Blood and Oil.
Ms. Cidre did a great job leading the DALLAS reboot. Shame not enough people watched. BLOOD & OIL is on my radar for fall, and it looks as though it could be a winner. I do not see it as a DALLAS clone and hope critics and audiences allow it to shine on its own merits despite the commonality of the oil business.
Anything with Don Johnson, I’m in! OIL, OIL & VINEGAR, BLOOD & OIL! Anyway, they should have just kept it as is, OIL. Blood is not a catchy word that associates me with drama unless its “Friday the 13th!” The catch line would have been OIL, in North Dakota its thicker than blood!
I would like to see another name. Hang, but I will check this one out!
Loved the DALLAS reboot. Was it ever revealed whether that was really supposed to be Christopher Ewing (Jesse Metcalfe) in the car that blew-up in the cliffhanger (series finale)? I figured it was literally a cliff-hanger, Metcalfe was never actually planning to leave the series (contrary to series’ publicity), and we would have seen him the next season if the series had been renewed.
I hope that she does a better job with this show than she did with Dallas. It likely is a better opportunity for her as she is creating a new show rather than trying to continue/revive one with a long history.
I never thought that she had any idea what Dallas was about and no clue as to properly incorporate its history into the new version.
I loved the Dallas reboot and wished it had gotten some closure to the cliffhangers (primetime movie special perhaps?). But I know that ship has sailed.
I’ll check this out. It looks promising.
TNT Dallas was awful, the writing was abominable. Cynthia Cidre may have good intentions but if Dallas is any indication she sucks as a producer.
This is a ripoff of Dallas! Why didn’t another network pick up Dallas after TNT ruined it with a tough time slot? This Blood And Oil won’t last long once people realize that Montana oil is no different than Dallas ‘earl’. I want to see Patrick Duffy’s comment on this new show.
