In 1985, Bobby Ewing died, finally, and for the last time, on the season finale of “Dallas” on CBS-TV. “Grief gushed faster than oil,” said the critics on this five-hanky episode. Bobby, until a season earlier, played by actor Patrick Duffy, had died once before in a violent car explosion — only to come back to life — seen taking a shower, of all things — just as Victoria Prinicipal, his TV wife, was about to step in for one. Boy, was she ever surprised! Weʹre not sure if it was because Bobby came back to life, that Pam Ewing was having a bit of emotional upheaval at the time, or if she was just plain shell-shocked at seeing Bobby naked on TV. Weʹre still looking into it. He remained dead…for a season…because the upcoming 1985 to 1986 season would be just a dream to Pam Ewing.
