Dallas 2012: Who's who
Dallas returns - we take a look at who's who in the show

Since the whispers first started that Dallas will be coming back to our TV screens, we've been struggling to contain our excitement. The drama was a fantastic hit when it ran from 1978-1991 and we can't wait to see what the revival is like.
In case you missed the show the first time around, it revolves around the wealthy and scheming Ewing family, who are heavily involved in the oil and cattle-ranching industries in the area of SouthFork. The series is a continuation of the original and it will include several familiar faces, as well as some new characters to get acquainted with.
Have a flick through our gallery to see who's who in the new Dallas...

Let's hope that political correctness hasn't crept in, I loved JR bullying Cliff Barnes and the idea that greed and excess were good, roll on episode one.

Its good to see the return of Dallas as i really enjoyed it the first time round and it was one of the old time favourites. Lets hope its as good as the original, although to be honest i dont think that it would have worked without the three main original characters. I would also expect and hope to see Cliff Barnes creep in somewhwre along the line.

No point watching without Victoria Principal to fall in love with all over again!.

love it!!

You're having a laugh... JR taking over a nursing home??? He should be in the nursing home!!! Characters are too good to be true.. Christopher like his Dad and John Ross like his Dad?? Isn't this just the feuds perpetuating themselves through the kids and in this enlightened age with parents vowing to bring up their Kids differently from how they were brought up, is this really possible??
Won't outdo the original series!! That was one on its own!!
Dallas 2..... Hmmm...

Dallas never was meant to be taken too seriously and it brings back great memories of the late 70's and 80's when it was at its peak. Will we have another 'who shot JR?' scheme? Going with the photos Linda Grey and Patrick Duffy seem to have weathered the years particularly well. I think it will be worth having a nose to see if it matches up to the fun of the original!!

Wot - no mention of the Barnes family????? Won't be the same without them.

The original was ground breaking popular drama.
If the writers can capture that feel then it could be great, I hope they manage it.
The plots were stretching reality pretty far but still believable.
I really hope they don't go to the 24 ridiculous!
Bobby in the shower was ridiculous, but they managed to make it work really well - just don't do it too often then it could be a winner like the original.
Looking forward to it - PLEASE don't disappoint me!

hope this is as good as the original, bear in mind when the original series was screened there was only 4 channels to choose from, and i noticed from previous comments that the shower scene was silly, however it worked well and kept us watching, but will it now? when theres over 100 channels to choose from??
14/06/2012 15:18
i watched the previous series and there were so many plots and sub plots that the ratings were high as the cast were brilliant too..it will be interesting to see how the new series compares...
14/06/2012 11:23
about time something good to watch i would watch the first series over again.
14/06/2012 15:11

LOVE YOU STILL AND ALWAYS WILL!!!

good choice for Christopher Ewing, hopefully, looks good anyway,
14/06/2012 05:43
I hope the cast is as good as the original or I will be very disappointed, and if they don't keep in some of the original cast, I will be disappointed, I want to see Patrick Duffey as Bobby and JR and Sue Ellen and any of the others who want to be in it, I would love to see them all again on the show,
