Rebecca

[morrowjasonl]

Just some thoughts: 1. Since Rebecca is Lucy's niece, how does she not recognize her?
2. Where is Afton?
3. Is it illegal in Texas to marry your cousin?
Even if Christopher doesn't know her true identity, she full well knows she is cousin, adopted or not. This is very, very twisted. It was thought by many that Rebecca is Cliff's daughter from the get fo when Cidre said her name was not by coincidence. Hello, we already knoew form the original this child existed and it would be a little far fetched to have another Barnes/Wentworth grandchild named Rebecca. Im thinking Rebecca is just like her Aunt Katherine. Hopefully, Afton or Pam will come back to tame them down. This version of the Barnes' are far more sinister that the original.

Wasn't Lucy divorced from Mitch by the end of the original Dallas series? Or did they re-unite again?

[Cliff Barnes]

They were divorced again, yes.

Nobody has met Pamela Rebecca, we only ever saw her as a child. So in those intervening years something happened we are currently unaware of.

Christopher is adopted, in Texas it is legal to marry an adopted cousin. But they are not legally married anyway as he married Rebecca Sutter, her false name. The marriage is a phoney.

Very good point about the fact that Christopher did not marry Rebecca. Actually, he is married to Tommy's REAL sister.

No, Christopher is not married to the real Rebecca Sutter either. Did you hear her say "yes, I do" ????

Good point...I guess then he's free to marry the holier-than-thou Elena...you know...the one who jumps from bed to bed? If I were John Ross, I'd ask for that gorgeous ring back. Christopher's ring looked really cheap.

I get the impression Lucy wasn't married to Mitch long enough to have much of a relationship with his family. It could be that she never saw Afton or Pamela Rebecca. She was in Atlanta with Mitch and I think Afton was living in another state, although I cannot remember which one now. Lucy could have conceivably seen Pamela Rebecca as a child, but then she divorced Mitch and she probably would have lost all contact.

I think that Lucy has never been interested in nephews or nieces. Only in uncles...

Besides, one point that (I think) nobody has mentioned here, is that the infant Pamela Rebecca we met in Season 11 was blondier than Afton herself, and Rebecca is a brunette. Shall we see a blond Rebecca next year if she dyed her hair?

She could very well be Rebecca Sutter - what is she changed her name or what if she was married to Tommy first? I don't think it is false. I have a feeling this is a real marriage and just because he doesn't know her past doesn't mean the marriage is void. And she may not have lied about the e-mail either. We just don't know.

Huh? We know she is Pamela Rebecca and that Rebecca Sutter is Tommy's sister and Pamela took her identity. Pamela Rebecca committed fraud but she has the babies. In a twist it may turn out to be like Kristin and JR where he doesn't report her so the babies are not born in jail.

Re: blonde babies. Both my husband and I have very dark brown hair. However as a child my hair color was very light almost blonde. And my two kids were very very blonde until they got to be about 7 or 8 and their hair started changing. My son went from fair blond to medium brown hair and my daughter is not far behind - she went from fair blonde to now a dirty blonde. It must have come from my Swedish ancestry - way back - because my grandparents and parents were all brunette on all sides except my 1 grandfather.

That said...it is legal to marry your cousin in many places. Here are some interesting facts: http://www.cousincouples.com/?page=facts

Realizing a fraud has happened - as in Christopher's case - and "proving" it happened are two separate events. Christopher will need proof, if he hopes to have his marriage to Rebecca annulled on the basis of fraud.

That also depends on actually what is considered to be fraud in Texas law.

Don't forget - Rebecca and her father are lawyers.
