Jesse Metcalfe and Julie Gonzalo join TNT's 'Dallas' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

"Desperate Housewives" and "Chase" alum Jesse Metcalfe has beat out Alex Russell for the role of Christopher, Bobby and Pam Ewing's adopted son, in TNT's updated "Dallas," TV Line reports. "Veronica Mars'" Julie Gonzalo has also been cast in a lead role in the pilot.

The new "Dallas" centers on the offspring of brother/rivals J.R. and Bobby Ewing -- J.R.'s son John Ross (Metcalfe's fellow "Desperate Housewives" alum) Josh Henderson and his coustin Christopher (Metcalfe). John and Christopher will clash over the Ewing dynasty while the fate of Southfork weighs in the balance.

Gonzalo will be playing Christopher's fiancee Rebecca and recently appeared on "Nikita" and co-starred on "Eli Stone."

"Dallas" is from "Cane" creator Cynthia Cidre and also stars Jordana Brewster. Three stars from the original "Dallas" -- Larry Hagman, Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy -- will be reprising their roles.

I heard about this earlier today. I am looking forward to this show. I do have an issue: Where is Omri Katz? The actor that play J.R. Ewing the third? Was he even approached for the role? And Chris Demetral who played Christopher in the 1996 reunion movie? I haven't seen a lot of credits for him over the years. I wonder if he was approached? I would love to see Bobby and Betsy Ewing (twin cousins on Knots Landing) resurface on this revival.

Then Bobby can ask his nephew" I wonder how you got your name?"
