Rebecca Wentworth

[Jock-1981]

If Rebecca had lived,maybe she might have married Jordan Lee. Could you have seen that one? Jordan,being a cartel member,having Rebecca as his wife? Would have added more plots to the show.

I have just watched the episode 120 when the Wentworth Jet crashed with Rebecca. This accident would not happen if she is not so anxious to try blackmail good old J.R. Feel like she's got exactly what she is deserved, good ending for her.

I could see her with Andy Bradley more than with Jordan Lee.

[Jock-1981]

No matter of it would be Andy or Jordan,it would be a Cartel member and JR would have to watch out because Rebecca would back her husband.

[Colonel Lucas]

YES! Rebecca would have worked much better with Clayton, at least he would have done something useful instead of bitch and complain. Rebecca was shooed away too soon. It would have made a nice dynamic for Katherine to return and for her to watch her mother shower her half-siblings with unconditional love, out of guilt of course for abandoning them and then watch Katherine turn into the Barnes answer to JR.
She could still have a crush on Bobby, but she doesn't try and kill him until much later.

Regarding Rebecca Wentworth, I always agreed with JR's description of her as a "drunk and a slut that walked out on her family." Rebecca is not only everything JR said, but she is also a disingenuous liar that kept the fact that she had two prior children by two different men, and then walked out on both while they were quite young, from her second husband Herbert Wentworth. If she had been honest with Herbert, would he have still left her his entire estate? It appeared that Rebecca got all of Herbert's Wentworth Industries, Wentworth Tool & Die stock and apparently most of his money. It was never specified, but it seems Herbert's only child - Katherine - got little or nothing. I would assume Wentworth felt his wife would leave his estate to their only child (unaware of his drunken, slut wife's two other children) when she passed. Instead, Herbert dies and leaves everything to Rebecca, who herself dies just 2 years later. Then she proceeds to leave 2/3 of Herbert's estate to the "Barnes-duo." Katherine had to share her own father's company with her half brother and sister, both of whom she had only met a year or so earlier. Katherine was right on when she told Cliff that he and Pam should never have received any share of her father's companies or fortune. I agree. Cliff was handed an oil company worth half a billion dollars, plus millions of dollars, even though he had no experience running a large oil company, had engaged in illegal practices at Wentworth Tool & Die that forced mommy to fire him and clearly was going to take mommy's advice to use the company to fight the rich and powerful Ewings. Rebecca also hands Pam an equal share of Wentworth Industries and Wentworth Tool & Die to what Katherine received. Pam had no interest in the oil industry, had nothing to offer those companies and was emotionally unstable. Yet, Rebecca hands her illegitimate daughter a fortune in cash and stocks, which Pam then snatched (along with Christopher) while eagerly jumping into bed with hairy Mark Graison. Perhaps some drunken sluts never change, because Rebecca's actions at the end of her life were as dumb as those she made while married to perrenial loser Digger Barnes.

[braddockbro]

Agreed. Rebecca was the one that brazenly threatened the entire Ewing family (which her illegitimate daughter was part of) and paid the ultimate price for it. She and her loser son were destined to be destroyed by the Ewings and she should have just stayed out of Cliff's battles.

[braddockbro]

It's possible too they wanted Katherine on the show as an antidote to Alexis Carrington's big splash on Dynasty the year before. That could be the sort of outside influence that is not detectable on the surface.

You are dead on with that. In fact, Morgan/Katherine have the same look (dark hair/bright blue eyes) and both were coniving, beautiful and determined to get what they wanted. Very similar characters. I think having Katherine remain (not being Bobby's shooter) would have been great. She could have set out to destroy Bobby, Pam and Cliff. Katherine was a Wentworth, but had to share her daddy's fortune with her two half-breed siblings, who really didn't deserve a dime.

I too got a real creepy "Flowers In The Attic" chill off that woman.

Think of how Katherine felt. No wonder she lost her mind. She had her mother's full attention and inheritance all her life until Cliff and Pam came along. Katherine's father would have left everything to Rebecca (all of Wentworth Industries) who then split all that inheritance three ways when she died in that plane crash. Katherine probably felt cheated because Herbert Wentworth was her father, not Cliff's or Pam's father. Must have pissed her off. Herbert Wentworth must have been spinning in his grave over that one. I'm sure he would not have wanted his estate given to Rebecca's bastards from two other men.

I would have preferred if they'd kept Rebecca on the show. I keep thinking a love triangle between Rebecca, Miss Ellie and Clayton would have been interesting. It seemed like they were briefly entertaining that idea until Rebecca suddenly died. This probably would have been the one time JR would have actually wanted Clayton to marry his mother and not Rebecca. Clayton was rich and powerful and if he had pooled his resources along with Rebecca's against the Ewings, that would have spelled real trouble for JR.

[Colonel Lucas]

Unlike Jock and Ellie who didn't fully endorse JR's deeds, Rebecca could have been just fine with her daughter's tactics. Would have made some nice catty conversations between them and Pamela. Piercing cat eyes, right on...boy did she ever...she looked a little man-ish too.

[Colonel Lucas]

Katherine should have stayed on...not making her go after Bobby, it would have been nice to have her and Pam team up against JR, blaming him for their mother's death. She should have been the female answer to JR, every bit as cunning, manipulative, ruthless and taciturn in getting what she wanted. She makes nice with her siblings, but schemes her way to cut them out of her fortune... Making her crazed stalker was fun, but it went out too quickly and was fairly one-note.

This is dead on... no wonder Katherine went nuts.

[I-<3-Clayton]

I am still mad that Rebecca was killed off, though I didn't really care for Priscilla Pointer...I didn't care for the actress but I did like the idea of the character.
