They should have had the dream season be Bobby's dream, not Pam's. He wakes up from a coma...everything from right before he died was a dream, but HIS dream, while he was in a coma.
Perhaps they felt they couldn't kill Pam because they already killed Bobby and brought him back. The way they did it did allow for Victoria to return as Pam if she ever wanted to.
@forexrobots212 I completely agree. Patrick Duffy is to blame for all of this. He insisted producers kill off Bobby when he left in '85, only to return one year later (thus forcing producers to concoct the "dream" scenario). Pam should have been killed off, but as you noted, they were leary of doing this again in case VP wanted to return. I would have just replaced her. Since Pam was in a awful car wreck, they could justify her looking & sounding a bit different. That would have been much better
@redletter2008 The problem with recasting a disfigured Pam is that this method was already employed on Dynasty. There a male character was disfigured, has plastic surgery, and came back with a different actor. I'm sure the Dallas producers did not want to give the appearance that they were copying Dynasty.
@forexrobots212 Have you seen Victoria lately. Her plastic surgery alone is perfect for the look of a restructured burned face. The new series is in 2012 is happening on TNT. The episode that she should return on should be called, " Digers daughter returns"
maybe they can bring back Pam in a new reunion where she explains Katherine held her captive for years and made that actress pretend to be her to cliff.
Wouldn't work because in Carousel (the Season 12 opener) Pam reveals in secret without Cliff present that the real reason she won't return to Dallas to be with Bobby, Cliff and Christopher is because she's dying and that she doesn't want to come back in their lives and then have them lose her again
cnrdcthy, I agree that Katherine was behind Pam's disappearance from the hospital and from Bobby and Christopher's lives for good. This was a horrible storyline.
Katherine may have but it wasn't done for despicable reasons. While they get someone else to play Pam in the next season when Cliff finds her, we find out Pam left because she found out was terminally il.
I LOVE the scene between Bobby and Miss Ellie. I HATED it when Bobby goes to the hospital and he finds out that Pam has disappeared from the hospital.
Thanks for posting this is one of my favorite clips. If you find the clip where Bobby is reading Pamela's farewell letter will you please post it. It would be much appreciated.

@MrsBobbyJamesEwing That cannot be because TPTB made it clear that Pam bribed the nurse to get out of the hospital. Katherine had no part in it.
