Gary Ewing and Valene Ewing

 Gary Ewing and Valene Ewing are significant characters from the “Dallas” TV series. Gary is the sensitive, artistic middle son of Jock and Miss Ellie Ewing, while Valene is his first wife, known for her resilience and deep emotional connections within the sprawling Ewing family dynamics.​

Their Relationship on Dallas
Gary and Valene married young after Valene became pregnant, and their daughter Lucy was born at Southfork Ranch.​

Their marriage was continually tested by pressure from Gary’s older brother J.R. and the complicated expectations of the Ewing family, leading to Gary’s struggles with alcoholism and the eventual collapse of their relationship.​

Despite repeated separations and manipulation—especially from J.R.—Valene and Gary shared a deep love that frequently brought them back together, and they were often depicted as soulmates destined to reunite no matter the odds.​

Drama and Triumphs
Valene’s loyalty and ability to overcome challenges defined her, especially when separated from her daughter or after Gary’s infidelities.​

Their journey continued on "Knots Landing," where they coped with new conflicts, affairs, and dramatic twists over many seasons, but their bond persisted in the face of adversity.​

Gary and Valene’s story represents enduring love, hardship, and family loyalty, interwoven with the high-stakes drama of “Dallas.”
