Dallas episode from 1985

[Mitchell]

I cant recall if I perhaps posted this already or not, but there was a scene in a May 1985 "Dallas" episode called "Swan Song" in which Bobby was killed by a car at the end of the show. In the show, just before Bobby leaves the house of his ex wife, Pam and meets his fate, he gets her down on the bed, and gives her sides a good tickle. It seemed like a real and sincere tickling episode, as Victoria Principal, the actress who played Pam, seemed to be really laughing and writhing, and it seemed genuine. There is also an implied tickling scene in the very first "Dallas" episode, where Bobby and Pam are upstairs in bed at night, and even though the camera is not in the room, the viewer hears a lot of laughter coming from the room, and finally Victoria Principal as Pam saying "ooh no"! These are about the only scenes of tickle or implied tickle that Ive seen on that show, and I figured Id post it to share. Again, Iam sorry if this is a repeat post and people have read it already, but after scanning the forum, I didnt see it posted anywhere, so I figured I would post it anyway.

Dallas episode

The scene in "Dallas" that Mitch describes is a very good one. Victoria Principal's laughter and reaction to being tickled did sound very genuine. A few years back, reruns of Dallas were being shown in my area, but when they got to that particular episode - yep, the tickling scene had been edited out. I'm still on the lookout for it and will definitely post it when I finally find it.

Thanks, Mitch. Besides that scene, I also remember way back when in a TV Guide article in which the actress who played J.R.'s wife (Linda Gray?) said that during their lovemaking scenes, Larry Hagman would be so nervous he'd get under the covers and tickle her toes. I swear it! 😀

Yes, JR's wife was played by Linda Gray. Thanks for that info. It is news to me. I had never read that before. Sounds very cool. She was very pretty when she played Sue Ellen, and now we know from her revelation in TV Guide that she has ticklish toes too! Thats always good to know about a woman.

Just so people don't think I'm making this up, there are pics of all the TV Guide covers from the past 50 years or so at its website. Here's a link to what you get if you search for Dallas:

There's a bunch of them, but one in particular caught my eye, the Feb. 8, 1986 cover, which is titled, "Hollywood Love Scenes: The Scares, Laughs, Romance" and has some pics of prime-time soap stars from the 80's on it, including Bobby and Pam. Who knows? That might be the issue the article's in. 🙂
