Here's an article by TVLine's Michael Ausiello, which gives a preview of the upcoming Dallas update TV series on TNT, with some scoop on the show directly from Linda Gray. In the article, Gray also talks about the producers of the original Dallas' reaction to her cutting her hair at beginning of season 6. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some scoop on what will be happening with Sue Ellen in the first season of the Dallas update series:
Gray’s ‘do is back to its original length in the Dallas reboot (premiering June 13), one of the only characteristics new Sue Ellen shares with the old. J.R.’s long-suffering alcoholic wife is now a big-shot politician who gets drunk on power instead of booze. Of course, she’s just one sip away from a relapse, right?
“She’s been there, done that,” Gray insists of Sue Ellen’s unhealthy relationship with the bottle. “A lot of women in the ’80s didn’t communicate as well as they do now; they didn’t embrace their power. If they were in a dysfunctional marriage like Sue Ellen was, they stayed. Times have changed though. It’s now acceptable to tackle your demons, wrestle them to the ground, and change your life. So I don’t feel that she would be drinking again. She probably went to AA and got her stuff together.”

My thoughts: I've only seen the first episode of the original Dallas TV series, but I'm really looking forward to TNT's update of Dallas. I've always loved soap operas and nighttime soap operas, so this show looks right up my alley. Plus, all of the previews that I've seen for it look great. I've also been thinking about blogging about the show when it starts.
