Filming is taking place in Dallas. Cast members will be keeping everyone up-to-date on the production on Twitter (hashtag #tntbackontheset).
The Plot:
TNT’s Dallas stars Josh Henderson as J.R. Ewing and Sue Ellen Ewing’s son, John Ross, who is determined to undermine his grandmother’s legacy by drilling for oil on Ewing land. Jesse Metcalfe is Christopher, Bobby’s adopted son, who hopes to take the family business in the new direction of alternative energy sources. Jordana Brewster plays Elena Ramos, John Ross’ girlfriend and Christopher’s former love. Julie Gonzalo is Rebecca Sutter, Christopher’s fiancée, who is trying to find her place in the vast Ewing family tree. And Brenda Strong is Ann, Bobby’s wife, whose beauty and grace are matched by a fierce resolve to maintain peace within the family.
Larry Hagman is J.R. Ewing, whose plots and schemes over the years have threatened to destroy his entire family. With an increasingly volatile feud now brewing between John Ross and Christopher, the stage is set for J.R. to return to his nefarious ways and rekindle the long-standing rivalry with his younger brother. Patrick Duffy plays Bobby Ewing, the new family patriarch, who will stop at nothing to keep John Ross and Christopher from perpetuating the family battle that tore the Ewings apart for so many years. Linda Gray is Sue Ellen Ewing, John Ross’ mother, who hopes to see her son take his rightful position as head of the family.
