John Ross and Pamela Ewing are “Dallas’s” most popular couple, but the midseason cliffhanger ended with their marriage in turmoil: After Pamela discovered John Ross was cheating with Emma, she tried to sabotage the affair by initiating a three-way with her husband and his mistress — only to begin convulsing after an apparent drug overdose.

Your #DallasChat Daily question: If Pamela survives, should she forgive John Ross?

J.R. and Sue Ellen Ewing had the stormiest marriage Texas has ever known, but is there any doubt these two were soul mates? Despite all the obstacles they faced — including his ambition, her alcoholism and their mutual penchant for adultery — many “Dallas” fans never stopped rooting for them.

#DallasChat Daily: Can Cliff be Redeemed?

Cliff Barnes, Dallas, Ken Kercheval, TNTCliff Barnes was no angel on the original “Dallas,” but he’s become downright evil on the new series. Among his crimes: using daughter Pamela to infiltrate the Ewings, conspiring with Harris and McConaughey to seize Ewing Energies, telling Frank to kill himself, ordering Roy’s jailhouse assassination and, worst of all, blowing up the Ewing Energies rig, which caused Pamela to lose his unborn grandchildren.

#DallasChat Daily: Which Sue Ellen Do You Prefer?

Sue Ellen Ewing has shown us many sides of her personality since “Dallas” began in 1978. She’s been a loyal wife, a vengeful divorcee, a high-society lady who lunches, a down-in-the-gutter drunk, a take-no-prisoners businesswoman, a failed politician — and much, much more.

#DallasChat Daily: What’s Bobby’s Worst Act?

Bobby Ewing has been “Dallas’s” white knight for more than three decades, but he’s no stranger to the dark side. He pulled more than one dirty trick when he was battling J.R. for control of Ewing Oil, and there’s that whole business about framing Cliff Barnes for J.R.’s “murder.”

Your #DallasChat Daily question: What’s the worst thing Bobby’s ever done?

#DallasChat Daily: How Do John Ross and J.R. Differ?

J.R. Ewing liked to say John Ross was his son “from tip to tail,” and John Ross certainly has a lot in common with his daddy. But John Ross also likes to think of himself as his own man, as we saw when he confronted Sue Ellen over her drinking and shouted, “I am not my father!”

#DallasChat Daily: When Was J.R. a Hero?

Dallas, J.R. Ewing, Larry Hagman, TNTJ.R. Ewing usually made Darth Vader look like a boy scout, but sometimes ol’ J.R. did the right thing. Remember when he refused to drag Sue Ellen’s name through the mud during their custody fight over John Ross? Or how about the time he returned ownership of Southfork to Bobby?

Some Trekkies prefer “Star Trek: The Next Generation” to the original series and some Whitney Houston fans insist her version of “I Will Always Love You” is superior to Dolly Parton’s. Do any “Dallas” fans like the new show better than the original?

This Summer, Every Day is #DallasChat Day at Dallas Decoder

Barbara Bel Geddes, Dallas, Miss Ellie EwingYou want more #DallasChat? You’ve got it.

Starting today, #DallasChat will become a daily feature at Dallas Decoder. I’ll post a new question each weekday; you can drop in and answer at your leisure, then check back throughout the day to see how other fans have answered the question and to comment on their posts.

There’s one rule: Keep it civil. I’ll moderate all posts and rude comments won’t be approved, so don’t bother leaving them. Remember the “Miss Ellie Rule”: If you wouldn’t want Mama to read what you’ve written, don’t hit the “post” button.

Otherwise, have at it. Let’s make this a forum for fun, lively and insightful conversations about our favorite TV show.

I plan to offer a daily #DallasChat question until TNT’s “Dallas” resumes its third season on Monday, August 18. And yes, I’ll continue to host #DallasChat discussions on Twitter so we can talk about the show in real time.

Ready to start the new era of #DallasChat? Here’s your first question. Go answer it!
