reply

Bing Crosby's daughter.

reply

Oooh

reply

My mom always used to joke about that

reply

I didn't really like Jock.

reply

I loved the guy. The show suffered after his death.

reply

I think he treated Miss Ellie horribly.

reply

he was rich.

reply

Not a good reason. And the ranch belonged to her family.

reply

Her family I had the feeling was cash poor. She made her decision to go with the money. She could have stayed with the drunkard Digger Barnes.

reply

I think they were a rich family that got into financial difficulties.

Digger seemed less of an asshole. Didn't he become an alcoholic after Ellie dumped him?

reply

Her family was "old" money based on land and cattle. Jock was "new" money based on oil. Ellie was suppose to marry Digger at one point.

reply

Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that Jock was a jerk-off.

reply

She was a gold digger (no pun intended).

reply

He knew what he was getting into. She was nice enough, so no reason to be such an asshat.

reply

He was a better husband than JR. He wasn't as nice as Bobby but few people are that nice.

reply

JR was definitely worse. I don't think Bobby was always that nice. I believe he behaved pretty badly when Pam got that job at The Store.

reply

why work if you don't have to ??

reply

Because she wanted to have her own money and didn't like sitting around the house with Sue Ellen all day???

reply

When he died. Jock was a terrible person.
