Dallas : Bobby Dies

[amr7037]

brilliant bring tears2my eyes even now superb talent great loss

[nannybimbim]

It's okay. It was just a dream

[ErdalYildizFan]

I`m gay and i was so in love with Bobby Ewing. I always dreamed that one day i found such a handsome and honest man like him. I always start to cry when i see this Scene! :)

[moussemouseful]

In Hungary an old lady committed suicide when Bobby has died. She hanged herself. This not a joke...

[Calbenmike]

This is an example of Patrick Duffy's brilliant acting skills.

[CatherineBellFan1]

I was disappointed that this turned out to be a "dream". I couldn't stand Bobby. He was such a sissy boy.

[nannybimbim]

@CatherineBellFan1 Hey! You are not asking the question, you mutha!



[cjh661]

@CatherineBellFan1 really the series should have ended here, the show went to shit after this when pam "died" . bobby should have married jenna if pam was going to leave the show anyway. the dream sequence sucked. april and her stupid sister sucked! it was time to end the show then.

[Hollywood1898]

Did he died?

[23RYDADDY23]

So why aren't there any doctors in the room?????

[CatherineBellFan1]

@23RYDADDY23 Waitin' for the check to clear? :)

[therealMrMackem]

is that a James Horner music score?

[mws755]

He wakes up out of a coma and is coherent enough to tell everyone good bye then dies. Very realsitc hahahaha And no medical people work on him or anything...lol

[wheels8268]

I remember when that happened, d4seasons. What a tragedy to lose both parents in dramatic fashion. When I heard about it, I read how classy Larry Hagman was during that whole ordeal. It was, then, that I realized actors who play villains are almost always as nice as they can be.

[RobertoN28]

The younger brother's death has strong showing at the always et Jockey Ewig is also shocked.

[thetruegladiator]

I remember literally crying on this episode! This was when Drama on Television was actual DRAMA ON TELEVISION!

[TheCactusFlower57]

@thetruegladiator Yes i remember crying like a baby, my mother and me..my god rest her soul..

[alslevie1986]

@RICSHAI.

That was the first time that happened,Sue Ellen was written out in Season 11,as Linda Gray.The contrast between characters and real life was fantastic JR and Sue Ellen despised each other but Larry Hagman adored Linda Gray.

[RobertoN28]

Well, this tragedy brought together the Ewing and Barnes families.

However, later, Bobby returned. It was one of the most surprising turn in the series.

[glasgowdebbie]

oh my god !!!i remember that when i was little when bobby dies i was cried cos bobby (patrick duffy ) and pam was dream etc i just wonder where mark is !!!!

[chotzrary]

Such a very sad scene. But yall, please spoil the surprise. Alot of new folks are becoming new fans of the show.

The scene is really heightened when J.R. steps close with a tear coming down and he says "Bobby don't do this to me, dont' leave men" and then Pam's timing with the machine flat lining, just priceless.

As for the second Miss Ellie, I never cared for her. It was a strange to see a new face after such a long time seeing BBG as the original. And never liked her too.

[JORDROMERO333]

Siempre me hace llorar...

[BamaChris]

Uhhhhh, if he is on the verge of death, why isn't he in the emergency room?

[mlg1022]

i did not like Donna Reed as Miss Ellie, I think she tried too hard,,

[rchris36]

Apologies for the spelling. It is Donna REED. Also to clarify of my comment..."Donna was not Ellie".  She did not portray Ellie at all well. She was more like Ellie's deranged sister released from a mental institution!

[rchris36]

Donna Reid would have been better cast as JR's long lost evil older sister. Maybe she could have kidnapped Ellie for the whole series therefore explaining away Barbara's absence. What was intended in that series was to make things credible by getting a new actress in. I suggest that the outcome of this was actually less credibility as Donna was not Ellie.

[KALIN1111]

Actress Donna Reed was called to replace Barbara.Po this time Barbara was operated by breast cancer ... but the show's ratings decline ... For the season the writers decided to continue with Donna, but because viewers requests, Barbara Bell returns .. And the two actresses known fact ... Dallas is the last role of Donna, who died of pancreatic cancer .. Barbara died in 2005 from lung cancer.

[RICSHAI]

@KALIN1111 I CANT BELIEVE 25 YEARS LATER YOU FOLKs STILL SAY THIS CRAP WHEN EVEN LARRY HAGMAN ADMITS NOW WHAT HAPPENED TO DONNA REED. barbara bel geddes great actress was sacked in 1984 by lorimar over a contractual dispute over her salary and working hours she had her heart bypass in 1983. DONNA REED WAS HIRED UNDER THE IMPRESSION BARBARA HAD RETIRED SHE DID NOTHING WRONG THEY WERE ABSOLUTE BASTARDS HOW THEY TREATED HER AND SHOULD BE ASHAMED LEARN THE FACTS SHE DID NOTHING WRONG THEY DID.

[funkyfru]

It's a shame BBG wasn't in this season. I'm sure she'd have nailed this scene.

[chris276100]

I stopped watching when I found out I dreamed an entire season

[sunkid86]

@chris276100 looooooooooool!:D

[somewhatlongdong]

Interesting how there is no doctor or nurse around

[1712Overture]

Probably not the most important question in the world, but hjow likely is it that the family would learn all this from a guy on the radio? Wasn't not releasing that kind of information until the next of kin was contacted practised back then?

[StreathamG]

@1712Overture Good point but as Pam was at the scene of the accident anyway we can assume that she informed Miss Ellie who then informed the rest of the family including Jenna who was living at Southfork at the time. JR was with Mandy Winger (or The Winger Tramp) as Sue Ellen called her and he got a phone call from Sly informing him. At the point that Cliff heard it on the radio everyone else already knew and at that point Bobby was only injured. Plus he's a Ewing so he's famous = press coverage

[bbenjoe]

Which episode is this?

[krsfromprp]

the acting is horrible.

[jasondh22]

So, Bobby's about to die, and no one calls for the doctors? Some family.

Also, everyone in that scene should have taken a close look at Donna Reed and screamed "THAT'S NOT MISS ELLIE!"

[WWAHP]

I know it's a dream, but damn I still get emptional.

[altha2008]

almost cried.

Got really mad when they said it was just a dree, did not watch it for almost that whole seaon after he stepped out of the shower

[watchvideo1attime]

Se limpio....

[ed2kou1]

Jr was great " don't leave me"

Guess he had a DNR, cause they didn't even try to save him!

[Kjr0se]

I can't believe that JR was actually crying over the death of Bobby, I guess JR did have a heart and he cared and loved Bobby, on the show, JR did have some decent qualities and was a good person, he wasn't as bad as most people thought him to be on Dallas.

[WallenpaupackRE]

Nobody "thought" JR was bad...he WAS the original, ultimate bad ass! He did love his brother though, yes...even if he didn't mind stooping to all sorts of shenanigans to get what he wanted. I think JR loved Sue Ellen too...but JR's love is what is summed up in the saying "With friends like you I don't need any enemies..." If JR loves you, just imagine how much worse it will be if he hates you..LOL

[wheels8268]

Saddest episode ever! Even if it's Donna Reed playing Miss Ellie and not Barbara Bel Geddes, it's still powerful stuff. If I remember correctly, I think the tears in everyone's faces were real. They all didn't want Patrick to leave the series, and they were all sad to see him go. Not only was the family saying good-bye to Bobby, but the cast was saying good-bye to Patrick as well. Am I right?

[d4seasons]

@wheels8268 more sadly P. DUFFY's parents were killed during an armed robbery after a short time. the producers wanted to close the studio for a day. everyone was in shock. duffy informed everyone to continue working. he'll be 62 yrs. old soon.****

[FinnMove]

I think Bobby was the most loved character in Dallas. This kind of tender scene would have been diffucult to create by some else character.

[christinazweck]

@FinnMove I agree! To be honest, I quit watching it after Bobby's death and didn't watch it again until after he returned!

[Anfield4Ever]

@FinnMove agree

[kdizzle79]

No disrespect to Donna Reed, but I think Barbara Bel Geddes is the REAL Ellie Ewing Farlow, and I can imagine how she would be in this particular scene.

Damn, even JR cried.

[KALIN1111]

@kdizzle79 Actress Donna Reed was called to replace Barbara.In this time Barbara was operated by breast cancer ... but the show's ratings decline ... For the season the writers decided to continue with Donna, but because viewers requests, Barbara Bell returns .. And the two actresses known fact ... Dallas is the last role of Donna, who died of pancreatic cancer .. Barbara died in 2005 from lung cancer.

[bubbam20]

@kdizzle79 She sure would have. She would have torn this scene up! Barbara was a fabulous actress.

[d4seasons]

@kdizzle79 i, my brother, & all the fans cried. the beginning of this season B. B. Geddes had health issues & took a leave to rest. health is very important so they needed a fill in. remember BEWITCHED ? it was a dramatic scene. just wished Sue Ellen was there.

[coryeversonfan1]

that lady is not Miss Ellie Barbara Bel Geddes is Miss Ellie and will aways be Miss Ellie!

[armagibson]

wait a minute! i remember i saw bobby after that scene but much later

i think samantha or anybody dreamed that

so bobby isnt died it was just a dream

[WallenpaupackRE]

Samantha? Who the heck is Samantha?

[armagibson]

omg DONT YOU KNOW???? O.O...

[moussemouseful]

@WallenpaupackRE

She is Sue Ellen in the Hungarian variation.

[korrrila1976]

omg this is so strange and terrible...

i want see bobby in the episodes :(

[armagibson]

fans wanted bobby back so he came back to the tv

[Fastbaseball]

the flat line look on Pams face..unforgettable

[newmark401]

Yes, she timed it very well.

[sfcphilip]

I remember crying as a kid watching this. I'm a grown ass man now and it still gets me

[dean147uk]

Same here. I am 38 next month, and this scene still really gets to me some twenty four years on. At the time, it also affected the cast, as after they had finished filming this scene, they forgot to say 'cut' as everyone on the set was also affected by the fact that Bobby was being killed off.

[MrInmyopinion]

Save your tears Pam he will be back next season Meaning plots cast members getting fired and ratings taking a dive. I could just imagine some of the faces from the cast and crew when he returned, Thanks alot Duffy!!

[SimonTube71]

i didn't like donna reed at all, from here starts the "pam's dream", in which she marries Mark Grayson supposed dead in a plane crash

[RTCMAHL]

The down fall of Dallas. Jack is gone, Bobby dies which begins the "dream season", and the BAD MISS ELLIE aka Donna Reed!!!!

[Doobsisno1]

Don't suppose this is very relevant to this clip, but today 17th March 2009 is Patrick Duffy aka Bobby Ewing's 60th Birthday. Hope he's celebrating in style : ) Happy Birthday Patrick!

[sexyviii]

this is the start of the painfully death and downfall of dallas

[luv4piggy]

sexyviii,

i second that.

the whole season was Pam's so called dream.

That was the biggest cop out in TV history.

[TATSUFAN]

A VERY SAD SCENE!

[CagleFan4Life]

JR really does have a heart. He shows it in this scene.

[lizlawton]

He really did love his brother, Bobby. I thought that was what made their relationship so unique in the TV world. It was very compelling.

[dcntry]

i agree with on this that jr does have heart on this scene

[barbarasboi]

i don't care what anyone says. pam could cry at the drop of a hat..great actress. you can feel her fear when the monitor stops beeping and her pain when she starts to shake and put her hand over her face..bravo!

[tomtagliente]

Every young and old actor trying to improve their craft, owes it to themselves to watch this scene from DALLAS. This entire cast of professionals did such a phenomenal job acting their parts out that it just seems like a real person is dying rather than a fictional TV character.

[alvastarr1]

The guy on the radio should have said "Bobby Ewing--yes, of THEM Ewings--"

[FinnMove]

You´re absolutely right !

[petangelg]

This is the saddest death scene I've ever seen on TV....even though it turns out to be a big fake! I still find it heart-breaking.

[FinnMove]

This scene never got old though Bobby came

back one year later if I remember right.

Even stone- faced J. R. shows his feelings

and he is a human being too.

[loopyallie]

Why didn't they call for a crash cart? hahaha they have to be so dramatic!

[tomtagliente]

Patrick Duffy would've had to stay on the show. At the time, he wanted off, so they didn't order the crash cart. But the flat line could've been turned off much sooner. That sound was so annoying.

[ed2kou1]

It, got me how even Jr cried.

[Gastonka23]

poor Pam :-((

[Paul0307]

it came in knots as well but when he came back from the dead lol knots stayed away from dallas...i wise choice at that time

[foreverdooney]

They acted their asses off in this episode. Damn shame it was a wack-ass dream sequence.

[ColdBloodedCarl]

I sure hope his hideous hair died too.. or did it come back when Pam woke up?? :)

[fgeorge76]

I didn't hate them for turning this into a dream, but the series truly went flat by the tenth season. Mostly because once PD wanted back on, they didn't dare 'kill off' another MAJOR character.

I keep wondering if they could have done it a different way. That eight season was a good season. The idea of writing the last episode of season 7 with Bobby showing his love for Pam was because you knew the foil was going to come down. When Pam wakes up from the dream, a lot of stuff had to be . . .

[fgeorge76]

answered for. A lot of the 9th season felt forced because they had to clean up the plot holes the "dream season" left behind. You knew Donna and Ray were breaking up because Bobby's death is what got them back together in the first place. Dack Rambo and Jenilee Harison were lame duck actors with lame duck characters. Season 9 had two great storylines with the fake Jock and Calhoon, and Hagman made his evil villian character JR became a simpleton to make Bobby a stronger character. But then VP .

[fgeorge76]

wanted to leave, and they couldn't just kill her off due to the "dream season," and really without Pam; Bobby was lost and never truly found his purpose. I'm not a big watcher of the later years, but didn't he after restoring Ewing Oil became more or less a rancher? While JR's character got dumber and dumber? I loved the reunion shows, or at least JR Returns, because it gave JR back some of that fire he used to have that was just plain gone starting in Season 9.

THe series was passable . .

[fgeorge76]

until about the start of Season 11, and then it was just held up on fumes. I guess in a way karma finally got to JR and in the real world, I could accept that. But this is Dallas - and JR was the greatest heel of all time. And again because of the prospect of reunions, JR doesn't 'kill himself' which would have been a great end. He just shoots the mirror, and flies off to England for five years.

I'm glad Bobby came back, but it ruined the show as they simply ran out of steam.

[ste20000000]

Excellent, love the music, thanks for posting.

[paula830]

No me acordaba de ke Bobby moría y JR llorando... pues tenía sentimientos despues de todo

[Haimfan]

This is a good exit and would have been even more powerful if he hadn't have decided to come back and they'd have written it all as a dream . It spoilt it a bit

[stevekach]

THey should have never replaced miss ellie.

[ShutEmDownNow]

The most powerful scene in the history of prime-time soaps.

. . . and a year later, they wiped it all away.

[andtapes]

What did he say after the the sentences about Cristopher and Charlie? I couldn't understand them! thanks

[WCD73]

Tell them I love them!!!

[WCD73]

Bobby also said to be good to each other and be a family,those were his last words!!!

[OhCurt]

This was no dream. Pam just fell asleep and dreamed that THIS was a dream.

The crazy bitch is still asleep.

WAKE UP ALREADY!

[dramaticguy]

Its always sad watching this even though it was all a dream!

Was glad Patrick Duffy cam eback but this would have been a greta departure too!

[MRDOUGSCOTT]

man i don't know what was patrick thinking at that time leaving that show but he did come back to his right mind at the end of that dream season which was the best cliffhanger to me sence who shot jr.

[rfk32578]

Pam was lucky that was a dream and that she was able to spend some married time with Bobby before she left. Pam should haved never asked for the divorce in the first place... but then this was a soap opera and they needed to have those storylines. I still think Bobby should of been with Jenna!

[GoodsonTodman]

Bizarre turns of events? What's the radio man talking about?

This is where DALLAS ended for me. Sure, the program went on for another six years plus two reunion films, but the glory days of DALLAS ended at the end of this episode.

[jksonny]

I agree. The cast does a great job, especially Hagman. Kanaly, and VP. Even though this didn't "count," it's too bad BBG isn't Ellie here. They wasted an opportunity to use the non-appearance of the doctors-with-the-paddles as part of how Bobby had survived (w/out the dream story). Maybe a doctor had a grudge against the Ewings and hid Bobby away somewhere? Maybe Jeremy Wendell was somehow involved? What about someone from Jenna's past? Or even Pam's ex, Ed Haynes?

[Funnystuff135]

I don't see Miss Ellie

[rfk32578]

She is there... she is being played by Donna Reed... Ms. Bel Geddes was ill and had retired during this season but the next season she came back out of retirement because she was doing better. Ms. Bel Geddes was the true Ms. Ellie... I know what you mean!

[tomtagliente]

If you have the two shows back to back, there is a continuity error between the two Miss Ellie's. Donna Reed is wearing a patterned dress and Barbara Bel Geddes is wearing a solid skirt and blouse in the following episode. Guess back then they figured "Who will remember what Donna Reed wore in the previous episode. A whole summer has passed by.

[astropunk2006]

It is still a very moving scene....

[bigbill1991]

Cindy from 3's company in the beginning of the clip.

[Iceblooo]

All that Ewing money and not a single Doctor or Nurse around until after he dies ! Lol.

I think the shock of seeing Donna and Ray's outfits clash was just too much for his heart !

[rfk32578]

I think the family did not want any more done for Bobby because they new it was the end for him... thats why they are all there...and if you look at Ray's face it is looking like he is saying, "C'mon...don't let him go already" because he watched his nephew/cousin Mickey suffer after a horrible accident at the end of the 1983 season...and he helped mercy kill Mickey in the early part of the 1983/84 season.

[Anfield4Ever]

Yes the best scene and perfect choice of music to set it all perfect.

[darker91]

I remember this very well. I still tear up.

[Dwyn2391]

This was one of the saddest Dallas moments. The cast did an outstanding job for such a difficult scene. Thanks for posting.

[bigbill1991]

LOL! it is called acting.
