Cover me badd

 Happy Easter, my dear readers! It's time for some chocolate eggs, bunnies - and magazine covers!

This time I'd like to spend a few moments with some supporting cast members of Dallas' later years. I realize these were not the golden years of the show, however, there were some bright spots here and there.

First: I give you hunky Jack Scalia a.k.a Nicholas Pearce on the cover of Katso-magazine in 1990. I had a huge crush on him. Oh boy! Of all the leading men in Sue Ellen's life - Peter, Dusty, Cliff, JR, Don - I liked him the best. Too shame they made him wear fat pullovers and sweaters, yet they gave Christopher Atkins speedos a few years earlier. Sigh. Why everything happens to me?

Title says "Jack Scalia saves a bad show" referring not to Dallas, but "Wolf". True or false, I don't know. Most importantly, I remember he had a nice, hairy chest, didn't he? Or was it just a dream I had...? Oh, well.

Next we have lovely Cathy Podewell. Year is still 1990. 

I was kind of excited that in the 1990s Dallas was trying to freshen up with these particular cast members. At the same time, I was sensing they were desperate to find same kind of charisma the original leading ladies had and that Dallas was sliding fast toward cancellation. So, I was praying they'd bring back Victoria Principal and Linda Gray to save the show. Sadly, they didn't.

Now, Cally was not every Dallas fan's favourite character, but I liked her. I wish they had done more with her. I would've liked to see her developing into a strong business woman like Sue Ellen did. But without her paintings, though. 

Title says "Dallas' enchantress Cathy cast a spell on JR". That's nice. (She had a smooth chest, by the way.) 

Last, it's wicked Michelle Stevens, a.k.a Kimberly Foster, in 1990. 

You know, it's funny how Dallas was still kind of hot in Finland in 1990. Three covers on Katso that year, which is not bad for a 12-year-old show. "Kimberly Foster is the newest baddie of Dallas". She surely was! Most importantly, she was the first female antagonist to have such short hair. I adored her style, it was very 90s look. With that look, she could be Justin Bieber's bitchy mom!
