Tonight TNT’s Dallas returns with all-new episodes as the second half of its third season gets underway at9PMET! And one of the most villainesque story points occurred before the midseason break when Nicolas (Juan Pablo Di Pace) sensing Elena’s (Jordana Brewster) growing closeness again with Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe), popped holes in her diaphragm just before they were going to have sex!  And Elena has no idea what he has done!  Is this the most twisted way to ensure power and keep Elena forever tied to him? We shall see!

Actor Juan Pablo Di Pace chatted with TV Line for a preview of what will happen for Nicolas AKA Joaquin in the coming weeks.

First and foremost Juan Pablo weighed-in on the diaphragm debauchery: ” For the writers, that was the best way to show that Nicolas wants to be tied to Elena for life … And the second half of the season takes place in a much shorter time than the first half. I think it’s about a week or two, and all this stuff starts to happen. He knows, at some point, Elena is going to find out what he’s done, so even if she hates him, at least (a baby will keep me) in her life forever.”

Juan Pablo also revealed his reaction to the Nicolas/Elena cliffhanger of a scene right before Dallas took its summer break:  “Honestly, I always have at least one ‘WTF’ moment when I read my scripts. The writers are really out there when it comes to Nicolas, and I always have a lot of fun with him.”

So what did you think of what Nicolas did to Elena’s diaphragm? Were you shocked?  What do you think Nicolas will attempt to do moving forward to ensure his plans for revenge work?  Share your thoughts below!

LAUREN EWING (Linda Gray) “Everyone thinks I’m so damn good all the time,” confesses the junk food-loving Lauren of her second act as a lifestyle guru. “I don’t know how Gwenyth Paltrow does it!”

DANA CUNNINGHAM (Donna Mills) Now a sitcom mom, she’s yet to make amends to ex-bestie Juliette after abruptly leaving the soap back in the day. Not that she hasn’t tried: “When I thought the world was going to end in Y2K,” Dana says, “I reached out to her, and she never called me back.”

LILY MARLOWE (Loni Anderson) After replacing Dana on ‘Great Lakes’, Lily never again found a role to win her acclaim. “What do I have to show for (my career)? An arc on  For the People – Shonda Rhimes’ only flop!”

JULIETTE MATHESON (Nicollette Sheridan) “She left me for L.A.,” the party girl turned fashion mogul recalls of Dana’s betrayal. Will their feud derail the entire event?

MARGEAUX ROBERTS (Morgan Fairchild) “Fasten your face-lifts, ladies, it’s gonna be a bumpy weekend!” The sassy grande dame of ‘Great Lakes’ sees the Juliette-Dana beef as the perfect escape from her own domestic drama.

Now, making this all the more hysterical is the director of The Great Lakes reunion special, which makes the five women live under the same roof, is its former child star Alex, who has gotten his ex-girlfriend, Nell to direct the finale. Meanwhile, in the subplot. the ‘Ladies of the ’80s’ come up with a plan to get Alex and Nell back together.

As with any good soap opera, there is a major food fight. Linda Gray shared with USA Today ,”The food fight was one take. And it was fabulous.” And of course, their is a bitch-fest slap-fest. Morgan Fairchild revealed, “Oh honey, we all got ours in. Mine was a simple, ‘How dare you?’ with a slap. But I was hoping for a punch.”

The movie’s EP, Larry Thompson, who is a Hollywood manager and has Donna Mills as a client, said that the entire scene peaks with the”slapfest coup de grâce.” What is that exactly? That is when Donna Mills pushes Nicollette Sheridan into a pool in a nod to Dynasty’s Lily bond battle between Dynasty’s Alexis (Joan Collins) and Krystle (Linda Evans).
