On the Set of Dallas: Season 3 Full of Surprises

Before I get into my very professional review of my Dallas set visit, can I get a second to freak out? Holy hotness!! (Insert scream here) I sat next to Josh Henderson and Jesse Metcalfe. There was dialogue, handshakes, smiles, and some heart melting. These dudes are even more attractive in person. And so nice! OK, now that I got that out of my system...

Last Thursday I was on the set of Dallas for an interview session with the stars of TNT's hit drama, Dallas. It was a great opportunity to get insight into each of the characters and learn about the upcoming third season, premiering tonight! Here's a glimpse of what's in store this season, straight from the actors' mouths:

Josh Henderson

as 

John Ross Ewing

"It's definitely a roller coaster. I'm calling it Dallas on Steroids. This year John Ross is trying to step into his father's shoes a little too quickly."

Jesse Metcalfe

as

Christopher Ewing

"There's a lot of role-reversals going on this season. Morally-grounded characters are certainly flirting with the dark side."

Jordana Brewster
as
Elena Ramos

"She's definitely scheming, but rightly so. It's been years that she's been screwed by the Ewings so it's about time."

Linda Gray
as
Sue Ellen Ewing

"When Sue Ellen started drinking after the J.R. Ewing memorial, I was shocked when I saw those words 'She picks up the drink and pours herself a drink and drinks it.'"

Patrick Duffy

as

Bobby Ewing

"It's a new Bobby. He's the new patriarch and now has to be the calming influence. Not to say he doesn't stretch and go places that are uncomfortable to him, but he always is peripheral in his points of view. He takes everything into consideration."

Julie Gonzalo

as

Pamela Rebecca Barnes

"She married for business but wants to be loved and trust John Ross. This year gets real racy!"

Emma Bell
as
Emma Brown

"She's grown up in a world where she's always been given what she wants and she doesn't really know boundaries."

Mitch Pileggi
as
Harris Ryland

"He's a very complex man and I love the fact that they're making him more and more complex and not a cardboard cutout of a villain."

Juan Pablo Di Pace

as

Nicholas Trevino

"I like to think of him as a chameleon. Whoever he's dealing with in the show, he needs to act a certain way to get what he wants."


I don't want to spoil too much, but I can say that the first two episodes of the season are intense. Lots of lies, betrayals, surprises, and some new faces - all of the shocking twists and turns that we've come to love about Dallas. In addition to a set visit, I had the pleasure of attending the J.R. Ewing bourbon launch that same evening (more on that in a future post). There, I was able to catch a viewing of the episode you'll see tonight and I can tell you they get straight into the drama. If you're a fan, you're in for a season full of that drama you'd expect from Dallas. And if you've never watched, there's no better time. Today TNT is having a marathon so it will be easy to catch up and you're always welcome to ask me about the show!

Tune in tonight for Dallas Season 3 on TNT at 8/7c.
