Keck's Exclusives: TNT's "Dallas" Welcomes Charlene Tilton and Steve Kanaly Back To Southfork

There's a special occasion taking place down at the Southfork Ranch on TNT's new "Dallas" pilot, and what would a Ewing gathering be without Lucy Ewing (Charlene Tilton) and Ray Krebbs (Steve Kanaly)?

TNT confirms to me exclusively that the two beloved TV vets will be joining Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray for this Ewing family reunion, set to shoot in Texas in late April or early May.






On the original series, Charlene recurred as J.R. Ewing's promiscuous niece from 1978-90, while Steve's ranch hand character (who was revealed to be J.R.'s half brother) appeared from 1978-1991.

Steve last played Ray in the 1998 Dallas reunion movie, War of the Ewings.

Great news.

Well, it might be good.

It'd be great to see them both again, as I really liked both actors. I just hope that it's because they really liked the script and wanted to participate and not, well, just because they haven't had a lot of work lately and needed the jobs.

And I REALLY hope that, unlike "V", which cast original series stars Marc Singer and Jane Badler in NEW roles (!!), the new Dallas has the sense to make them play "Lucy" and "Ray".

This is good news. Also I would like to see Ken Kercheval make an appearance.
