Details of Patrick Duffy's Return Under Wraps : Bobby Will Be Coming Back to 'Dallas'

April 10, 1986 Associated Press

NEW YORK — Patrick Duffy, sorely missed by "Dallas" fans since his good-guy Bobby Ewing character apparently died at the end of last season, will return to the show next month.

Duffy will return to the CBS series, which has slipped from No. 2 to No. 7 in the ratings in the last year, in the season-ending cliffhanger May 16 and then next season, the producer announced.

But no one close to the show would provide further details of the actor's resurrection, probably assuring intense viewer interest in the finale that might rival the "Who shot J.R.?" craze in 1980.

"In the tradition of 'Dallas,' Patrick's character and the story line surrounding his character will not be divulged," Lee Rich, president of Lorimar-Telepictures, said in a press release Wednesday. "We are extremely pleased to have convinced Patrick to return to the show."

According to A. C. Nielsen Co. figures, viewing for "Dallas" has been off more than 2 1/2 million households.

"It hurt 'Dallas' to lose him," said Paul Schulman, head of the Paul Schulman Co., an advertising agency. "He got a lot of fan mail."

At the end of last season, Bobby was hit by a car and seemed to expire in a hospital room when he was taken off a respirator. This season, he was presumed dead and viewers occasionally saw his gravestone at Southfork, the Ewing ranch.

Never in the show's eight seasons, or even in a TV movie "prequel" last month that dredged up the early years of "Dallas" decades ago, had anyone planted seeds of Bobby having a twin brother or any other long-lost relatives.

But this is soap opera, where anything can happen.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: July 21, 2006


Something has been telling me to think more about my memory of seeing on the news that the Stark had been hit. As I wrote earlier, there is glaring discrepancy there, probably intentional, about my memory on that topic. I was talking to TM3 Preston Lee about it in our barracks in Orlando. We had a tv in the room that we watched for the news. But I was in Orlando in 1986.

U.S. Carrier Steams Out of Spanish Port : 2 Now in Readiness in Mediterranean for Any Strike Order

April 10, 1986 From Times Wire Services

WASHINGTON — The U.S. aircraft carrier Coral Sea left Spain and joined the carrier America in the Mediterranean today in case President Reagan decides to order a military strike against Libya, Pentagon sources said.

But the sources, who demanded anonymity, said no orders had been issued for the Coral Sea and the America to reform a battle group.

Navy Secretary John F. Lehman Jr. said today that the fleet is ready to strike at Libya if Reagan orders it.

"Whatever tasks are provided to the Navy, the Navy is ready to do," Lehman said after a Capitol Hill hearing. "Our fleet is as ready today as it has ever been in history."

'Mad Dog' of Mideast

President Reagan on Wednesday night called Libyan leader Moammar Kadafi the "mad dog of the Middle East" but would not say if Washington would strike at Libya or suspected guerrilla groups because of bombings last week on a TWA jet over Greece and in a West Berlin discotheque.

Five Americans died in the attacks.

Pentagon officials said the 62,000-ton Coral Sea and its 80 aircraft, including 40 F-18 fighter jets and attack and electronic warfare aircraft, left Malaga, Spain, early today and steamed into the Mediterranean.

The 78,500-ton America, carrying F-14 fighter jets and a mix of attack and electronic warfare planes, left Livorno, Italy, a day earlier.

30 Ships in Fleet

The two carriers and their protective battle groups of about 10 ships each are part of a powerful U.S. Navy 6th Fleet armada of 30 ships in the Mediterranean.

Last month, U.S. carrier jets used missiles to destroy two Libyan patrol boats and damage an anti-aircraft missile site when Libyan forces fired rockets at American planes over the Gulf of Sidra, which Kadafi claims as Libyan territory and Washington considers international waters.

NATO leader Lord Carrington today agreed with Reagan that the United States could not accept terrorism without retaliating.

But Carrington, secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, said Europeans might not support severe U.S. military retaliation even though they would sympathize with some sort of U.S. retaliation.

"I don't think that the United States can sit back and allow this sort of terrorism that we have seen to go on without taking some sort of retaliatory action," he said on NBC's "Today" show.

Tripoli Radio, meanwhile, said today that Reagan had acknowledged that Kadafi had the ability to strike from within the United States in his war with America.

Reporting on Reagan's news conference, the radio said Reagan "openly admitted last night that Col. Kadafi was leading an Arab Islamic and world revolution."

2 U.S. Carriers Put on Libyan Standby : Reagan Calls Kadafi a 'Mad Dog' Who Has 'Singled Us Out' for Attack

April 10, 1986 JAMES GERSTENZANG and NORMAN KEMPSTER Times Staff Writers

WASHINGTON — As President Reagan denounced Libyan leader Moammar Kadafi, calling him "the mad dog of the Middle East," the Defense Department on Wednesday ordered two U.S. Navy aircraft carriers to move into position for possible retaliation against the Tripoli regime.

At a nationally televised news conference, Reagan said Libya has singled out the United States for repeated terrorist attacks. Nevertheless, he stopped short of blaming Libya directly for the bombings of a Trans World Airlines jetliner and a West Berlin discotheque last week.

Earlier, however, he had told a group of newspaper executives that Kadafi was "definitely a suspect" in the two most recent attacks, which killed five Americans.

'Goal of Revolution'

At the news conference, the President said, "This mad dog of the Middle East has a goal of a world revolution, Muslim fundamentalist revolution, targeted on many of his own Arab compatriots."

Reagan mused that Kadafi's reasons for selecting the United States as an enemy were "a little like climbing Mt. Everest--because we are here. But there is no doubt he has singled us out more and more for attack."

At the end of a day in which reports circulated that the President already had decided on a plan of retaliation, Reagan declined to talk about his military options because, he said, that would be "like talking about battle plans."

But, he declared, "when we could specifically identify someone responsible for one of these (terrorist) acts, we would respond. This is what we're trying to do, to find out who's responsible, for a fine sergeant in our military dead, and 50 young Americans lying in a hospital wounded because of that dastardly attack in West Berlin."

Pentagon sources said the aircraft carriers Coral Sea and America were ordered to stand by where they could move quickly into waters off Libya. The two ships took part two weeks ago in operations that tested Kadafi's claims that the Gulf of Sidra is part of Libyan territorial waters.

The Pentagon said the Coral Sea, which had been due to end its six-month deployment and head home to Norfolk, Va., was ordered to remain indefinitely in the Mediterranean.

But Pentagon officials emphasized that no decision had been made on what steps to take, if any, in response to the attack last Saturday on a West Berlin nightclub popular with off-duty U.S. military personnel, in which an American soldier and a Turkish woman were killed, or for the TWA jetliner explosion over Greece that killed four Americans on April 2.

With Reagan Administration officials apparently convinced that Libyan links could be established, at least to the West Berlin explosion, military planners were focusing on potential avenues of retribution.

No Direct Accusation

Nevertheless, Reagan carefully avoided making direct accusations at his news conference.

"Right now . . . I can't answer you specifically on the subject," he said when asked if he had concrete evidence that Kadafi was responsible for the attacks. "We are continuing with our intelligence work and gathering evidence on these most recent attacks, and we're not ready yet to speak on that. Any action we might take would be dependent on what we learn, so I can't go further."

Asked about reports from Tripoli, the Libyan capital, that Kadafi said a U.S. attack would set off retaliation against American interests around the world and that plans for a military confrontation had been completed, Reagan replied:

"We're going to be on the alert and on guard for anything he might do. He has threatened repeatedly and recently that he would bring that kind of warfare to our shores, directly here."

Libyans Living in U.S.

He speculated that Kadafi might call on Libyans living in the United States to mount terrorist attacks against Americans.

"We know that there are a number of his countrymen in this country," the President said. "He has even suggested that he could call upon people to do that, and we certainly do not overlook that possibility."

Asked whether he was provoking Kadafi by authorizing the maneuvers in the Gulf of Sidra region, Reagan said the Libyan leader "just had to invent that to get on the air."

He said the Administration has not recognized any Libyan declaration of war against the United States, "nor will we." But he emphasized, "We're going to defend ourselves, and we're certainly going to take action in the face of specific terrorist threats."

Carter's Term: 'Polecat'

To former President Jimmy Carter's description of Kadafi as a "polecat" who should not be "poked," Reagan responded: "If somebody does this and gets away with it and nothing happens to him, that encourages him to try harder and do more. And everyone's entitled to call him whatever animal they want, but I think he's more than a bad smell."
