DALLAS Watercooler Moment Of The Week: Judith Ryland (As Played By Judith Light) Snorts Cocaine!
Courtesy/TNT
Thus far, the soap shocker of the week it didn’t happen on daytime, but on TNT’s Dallas this past Monday night! On the episode, it was the highly anticipated return of two-time Daytime Emmy and Tony winner Judith Light in the role of the deplorable Judith Ryland!
But what went down in the scenes featuring the incredible Light was a true watercooler moment! So much so that today, EW.com is featuring it with the video of the juicy scene where Judith Ryland meets with with a drug cartel in Mexico to assure them that she is handling the family transport business now and not her son, Harris.
The scene begins where Judith and Harris (Mitch Pileggi) go to a some rodeo to meet the cartel. Once there to assure them she is not wired, she allows the head honcho to literally feel her up and frisk her! Then she insists on product testing … the cocaine they are smuggling in the family transport business! Not only does Ms. Ryland snort one line, but a second one, and then kinda seductively rubs the coke around her gums in front of the cartel guy!
As a preview to Judith Light’s return for season three, Dallas showrunner Cynthia Cidre remarked that her return would be, “bigger, badder and more delicious than ever!” And as of this week, it certainly has lived up to it! Make sure to watch the clip! Then let us know what you thought of the scene and Light’s performance!

‘Dallas’ star Ken Kercheval Dead At Age 83
Sad news to report for fans of the iconic primetime soap, Dallas. Ken Kercheval, who played the thorn in J.R. Ewing’s (Larry Hagman) side, Cliff Barnes, has passed away. The actor was 83 and died at his home in Indiana on Sunday. The cause of death is under wraps. He had been previously open about being a lung cancer survivor after years of smoking.
Kercheval was on Dallas for its entire run on CBS from 1978 to 1991, and returned to the TNT reboot from 2012 to 2014 to reprise his signature role.
On Dallas, Cliff Barnes was always the perennial loser when he went toe to toe with ruthless J.R, but in the final season, Cliff beats J.R at his own game and takes over Ewing Oil. Cliff was also hopelessly in love with Sue Ellen Ewing (Linda Gray) and was the brother to Pam Barnes, played by Victoria Principal.
As for Ken’s first big acting breaks, that came on daytime soap operas when early in his career he appeared on Search for Tomorrow and How to Survive a Marriage.
Later, he appeared on episodic dramas such as Starsky & Hutch, and Crossing Jordan. His final role was in a movie, 2019’s Surviving in L.A. said to be a comedy/drama in which he plays the business manager of a former teen sitcom star who trashed her life through drug abuse and is fresh out of rehab.

George Kennedy, the Oscar-winning star of 1967’s Cool Hand Luke, which also starred Paul Newman has died at age 91, his grandson, Cory Schenkel confirmed.
Kennedy died in his sleep at his Boise, Idaho home early Sunday morning, the day of the Academy Awards. He had been in failing health ever since his wife Joan died a little over a year ago. George had been under hospice care for the past month.
In the soaps, Kennedy is most remembered for his guest stints on The Young and the Restless playing Victor Newman’s despicable father, Albert Miller. Kennedy first played the role in 2003 and then reprised it again in 2010. Victor’s relationship with his father gave Eric Braeden some of the finest material of his career as the complex Victor. Albert had abandoned his family, causing his son to be raised in an orphanage.
CBS original primetime soap Dallas also featured Kennedy as Carter McKay, one of the Ewing families bitter enemies from 1988 to 1991. Geroge also played the role in two follow-up TV movies, 1996’s Dallas: J.R. Returns and 1998’s Dallas: War of the Ewings. In addition, Kennedy appeared in several of the 70’s major disaster films including the original Airport and several sequels, as well as in Earthquake. In the 80’s, he would appear in The Naked Gun franchise of films along with Leslie Nielsen.
After the jump, watch George Kennedy as Albert on The Young and the Restless in scenes with Eric Braeden and Joshua Morrow (Nick). Then share your thoughts on the passing of this talented actor in the comment section below! (more…)

what a delicious moment. Judith Ryland used to annoy me but now I’ve fallen in love with her character.
Although she is rotten to the core I too like her a lot more after last night episode then I did last season. Only wish we could have watch her and J.R. fight it out. Still can’t stand her son tho, even if he’s not as bad as we thought
Judith is amazing on this show. S3 is heaps better than last. I only hope they keep it and Judith going!
This season of Dallas is top of the dramas !
That scene absolutely blew me away. Judith Light is fantastic.
My water cooler moment was when Judith was under the strip search. This is when Harris found out what Mom was really made of. Great acting.
HILARIOUS SCENE…LMAO..AND SQUIRMING LIKE EEEWWW
Hmmm Erica Slezak would fit in nicely too.
I agree..Miss Ellie’s long lost given up for adoption sister. With a Jock temperament!!
I agree–great scene. This was the first episode JL’s character actually interested me, too.
As an actress, Judith Light TRULY ROCKS!!!!!
The only thing that upsets me about Judith Light being Mitch Pileggi’s mom is that she’s only two years older than he is, not 18-20 years older! But she sure plays the heck out of that part! Just wish she had an “age-appropriate” man playing her “son.”
Why the damned double standard for women in Hollywood?!?
wolfy
I think Judith Light is great in this role but it’s hard to believe
Mitch is her son since they are really the same age!
