According to multiple sources, Thomas Lane Marshall is the latest addition to the cast of the DALLAS reboot currently shooting its first season in Austin, Texas. He will be playing Eric Barnes.Ken Kercheval, who played Cliff Barnes or the original series, will be returning for a few episodes, but how is he related to Cliff? And will the old Barnes-Ewing feud still be in full force when the show premieres in Summer 2012?
We get more excited about this new TNT version of DALLAS every day.
Linda Gray spoke last week about Sue Ellen 2.0 saying, “She’s powerful, she’s rich, she’s well connected, and she knows all the games that J.R. has ever played. She learned from the best, let’s put it that way.”
How about you? Excited to see a next generation Barnes in the cast?
UPDATE:
The character of Eric was originally scheduled to appear in Episode 4, "The Last Hurrah," but that did not happen. There's been no confirmation from the show on exactly what changed with the plan for this character.
