Don’t judge me for saying this, but I was too young to remember the TV smash hit Dallas. I do, however, think I understand the gist of the soap sensation - big money, big hair, big affairs, and big jealously. I am happy to report Dallas is making a comeback to the small screen and not only because it’s my namesake. After the 90210, Hawaii 5-0 remakes, I guess TNT couldn’t resist hunky urban Texan cowboys… And I do mean hunky. Be still my beating heart, Jesse Metcalfe, will be starring in the remake.

The new Dallas will pick up with the Ewing offspring; J.R. Ewing’s son John Ross (Josh Henderson of Desperate Housewives), and Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe, also of Desperate Housewives) , the adopted son of Bobby and his Pam Ewing — as they clash over the family dynasty’s future. Jordana Brewster (Fast & Furious) will star as Elena, who is involved in a love triangle with Christopher and John Ross. Julie Gonzalo (Veronica Mars) will star as Christopher’s fiance Rebecca.

In addition to the original series’ mega-star, Larry Hagman as “J.R.,” Patrick Duffy (Bobby Ewing, brother of J.R.) and Linda Gray (J.R.’s wife, Sue Ellen) will reprise their roles.
Shooting is expected to start in April 2012. In Dallas. Awesome.
