Ted Shackelford & Joan Van Ark Set To Appear In DALLAS

Charlene Tilton, Joan Van Ark & Ted Shackelford
Ted Shackelford and Joan Van Ark are bringing their KNOTS LANDING and DALLAS characters, Gary and Valene Ewing, to TNT's DALLAS for a big family reunion set to air in Spring 2013.

According to TV Guide Magazine, Shackelford (currently starring in THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS) and Van Ark (winner of an Indie Soap Award earlier this year for her work in PRETTY) will be on for a three-episode arc. No word if their all-grown-up twins, Bobby and Betsy, will be joining them.

As we mentioned in our Today in Soap History daily column, Van Ark made her DALLAS debut on September 23, 1978, opposite David Ackroyd's Gary. Shackelford was the second actor to play Gary, debuting on December 20, 1979.

Gary and Valene's daughter, Lucy, appeared in the first season of the new DALLAS. Actress Charlene Tilton will be back for Season 2 which premieres January 28. You can also catch her on the new season of DEVANITY starting in January.

    Me too! I think they will blend easily into the story of the new DALLAS.
