TNT DALLAS Recap: Sue Ellen Thinks She Burned Down Southfork …. But It Was Drew … Who Is Executed By Nicolas!
Courtesy/TNT
TNT’s Dallas returned last night with a burn your house down episode, literally!
As Southfork was engulfed in flames, Bobby (Patrick Duffy) and Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe) found Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) and Bo (Donny Boaz) in the rubble of the burning iconic home! Meanwhile, the paramedics came to save Pamela (Julie Gonzalo)who apparently attempted suicide, as the three-way broke up between Emma (Emma Bell), John Ross (Josh Henderson) and her in the hotel room. Elsewhere, Elena (Jordana Brewster) and Nicolas (Juan Pablo Di Pace) are in bed (he tampered with her diaphragm and talked about having babies with her, and it looks as though they had sex once already!) when she gets a call from her mother Carmen that Southfork was set on fire.
When Heather (AnnaLynne McCord) shows up at the hospital post-fire, it seems she was very concerned for Bo, which caught the attention of Christopher. And while all eyes suspected at first that Bo set fire to Southfork, he didn’t. Sue Ellen thinks she did. As she tries to fight her boozing demons while drying out in the hospital, she recalls as she is wandering through the hospital gift shop the invitation that upset her … that of John Ross’ marriage to Pamela that she began to burn before passing out! Next, she steals some after-shave from the gift shop, which contain alcohol in it, but doesn’t drink it. She then admits to Bobby and Ann to being drunk and that she started the fire! Sue Ellen admits she is an alcoholic.
But we soon learn the twist on a twist … that it was none other than Drew (Kuno Becker) who started the fire and the Cartel and Nicolas have him detained so he won’t ruin their plans. And after Nicolas is threatened by the Cartel if all their plans go up in smoke, Nicolas orders Drew to be killed. Drew gets a bullet in the head! Elena is also pissed at Nicolas when she realizes he was the one that sent the video to Pamela which showed Emma and John Ross having sex!
Judith Ryland, played by the superb Judith Light, is on the warpath after seeing Ann (Brenda Strong) kiss Harris (Mitch Pileggi)! She has some very terse words for Harris, and then goes to get Emma at the hospital. But before she leaves, Judith makes sure Bobby knows exactly where Ann was during the fire … kissing Harris! Bobby is furious and tells Ann he needs time alone because of all of her lies and asks her to leave!
John Ross admits to Pamela in the hospital that he does truly love her, but she isn’t having it. She tells him that whenever he makes love to another woman or Emma, he wants him to remember the sight of her overdosing!
What did you think of last night’s Dallas? Were you surprised to learn who started the fire? Who was your favorite in the episode? We loved Judith Light, Josh Henderson, Linda Gray and Juan Pablo Di Pace. How about you? Let us know

Totally agree about Judith Light, Josh Henderson, Linda Gray and Juan Pablo Di Pace. The acting on Dallas is superb. The episode was excellent and the ending was a real surprise. TNT Dallas doesn’t disappoint.
Hope they get another season. There is still plenty of story to tell about the Ewings without J.R. I want to see how this family is going to fend off a Mexican drug cartel that’s intent on overthrowing the Mexican government! Talk about big stakes…
Great episode. Can’t wait fot next week.
I enjoyed the twist of Sue Ellen believing and confessing that she started the fire, then the discovery that it wasn’t her. Amazing cast. Amazing season premiere. Can’t wait for more!
Great episode last night. Looking forward to next Monday! The scene where (spoiler) Sue Ellen shoplifts and is about to guzzle a bottle of after shave was reminiscent of her time in rehab when she was pregnant and the nurse smuggled mouthwash for her to drink. I’m curious to see if Cliff will return to confront John Ross about Pamela’s overdose.
W-O-W!!!!! And…more and more, the F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S Judith Light is ROCKING AND ROLLING as the DELICIOUSLY EVIL Judith Ryland…H-O-L-L-A!!!!! In separate sorts of ways (or whatever), poor Harris and poor Ann…LOL!!!!!! Yep.
Until next time…A-C-E-S!!!!!
I really like this new Dallas, story wise it is great, the cast is wonderful, and production values are like a big budget movie. My only pet peeve about the show is the editing– it is so choppy in spots, all that zooming in and zooming out of the camera drives my nuts— all the quick shots during action scenes to make them feel more fast pace than there are– it looks like someone who just discover how to edit video is doing it, and they are throwing in everything because they can not because the scene needs it. It was mildly distracting in season one, but now in season three— it is just annoying.
It was a great show. Sad that TNT doesn’t promote this show at all. It would have better ratings if people knew it was on.
It’s promoted plenty. There have been ads in TVGuide & Entertainment Weekly for a month, and on their websites. Commercials have been running all summer during TNT’s highly-rated new show, THE LAST SHIP, plus on TNT’s sister stations.
I must have fast forwarded through them all.
I loved the show. I didn’t remember it was Drew who started the fire until I read it in the TNT Dallas Fan Club. I hope Pamela remains Angry with John Ross. I hope Bobby forgives Ann. Christopher should loose Heather as his Girlfriend. Can’t wait for next Monday!!
Joanne…I agree…Christopher needs to CUT ALL TIES with Heather. To me, that Heather chick has WAY TOO MUCH BAGGAGE!!!!! Most of all, that Bo dude looks and acts like a TOTAL NUT-JOB…YIKES!!!!! And Joanne…I (also) can’t wait for Monday’s new episode!!!!!! Yep.
Take care, Joanne. XOXOXOXOXO
So happy to have Dallas back again. Judith Light is simply amazing. I hope she is made a regular cast member.
Great show with lots of twist and turns to keep us guessing! I just love Dallas, the acting was off the chain and everyone brought their A-game especially Josh Henderson, Julie Gonzalo, Linda Gray, Juan Pablo Di Pace.Amazing cast and storylines!

‘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.
Share your thoughts on the passing of Ken Kercheval in the comment section below. But first, watch him as Cliff Barnes in this scene from TNT’s Dallas when he sees J.R. for the first time in years!

Y&R and Dallas Alum, Oscar Winner George Kennedy Has Died

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…)
