JR Ewing... The man we all loved to hate... Has passed away from cancer. He was 81.

I am in shock. A piece of my childhood is gone.

Good question, I hope they don't replace him with another actor. Some roles are so iconic that they were only meant for one person and J.R. Ewing is one of them.

I hate to say it, but I am sure there was some type of plan... Just in case this happened. It's still very early, but it sounds like he had become sick again.

Lets just allow things to shake out... It's just a show. Larry's family is obviously hurting, as are his costars and friends.

I don't know if the show can survive without him.

I doubt it. JR WAS Dallas. No one else could ever play JR - no one would accept a recast.

Does anyone know if he filmed the episode with special guest stars Ted Shackelford and Joan Van Ark (Gary and Val)?

I hope I'm wrong...But I read Joan Van Ark was to start filming sometime in January. Ted was to start filming before her (maybe in December)..I would have loved to see Val stick it to JR after all these years. Now the writer are going to go back to the drawing board. Now I think the reason Val and Gary returns to Dallas will be the fact that JR has died...To attend his funeral..I think Gary Will hit the bottle/Drink again and when Val learns JR has died...She becomes concerned about Gary..and she fly's to Dallas to be with him durning this difficult time...and of course to see Lucy. I'm worried about the show...not sure if the show will survive without JR...I think the only way the show will survive is if they create a character that is evil as J.R. I can't think of any actor that can play that role....But I'm sure he's out there. All I know is that J.R. cannot be recast...no way no how.

GOD I cannot believe he gone....I knew he was frail, BUT NOT NEAR DEATH..I thought We would see JR for another 4 or 5 seasons. guess i was wrong. God be with his family.

I wonder how many episodes of season 2 have already been completed, and how many Hagman will be in. Is season 2 going to be longer than 12 episodes?

I understand that they have filmed 5 episodes for Season 2 so far. Season 2 is supposed to have 15 episodes.

I wouldn't worry about that. They can't replace JR and they won't.

I think it could although it would be difficult. In the beginning I only watched it because of JR and I know a lot of others watched it for him too, but his role while important, was so small. I know in several episodes he appeared for about 2-3 minutes. Hopefully others have gotten into the new characters and Bobby will still be around. Ratings and writing are the key. They have to do something really creative to make Dallas fans continue to watch.
