The ninth season of the television series Dallas aired on CBS during the 1985–1986 TV season. As the entire season was annulled as a dream of character Pamela Barnes Ewing in the Season 10 premiere, it has since been referred to as "the Dream Year" or "the Dream Season".
In alphabetical order:
William Smithers (Jeremy Wendell) continues to appear, and Joshua Harris takes on the role as Christopher Ewing. Merete Van Kamp (Grace) and George Chakiris (Nicholas) appear in a major story arc, as does Solomon Smaniotto (Tony Krebbs), but none of them will return beyond the season.
After years of only minor changes in the creative staff of the series, the ninth season sees several overhauls: among the three main writers for the two previous seasons, only Leonard Katzman remains for season nine. He is joined by Peter Dunne (who had written two season eight episodes), Will Lorin (who had worked on the show during seasons five and six), and newcomers Joel J. Feigenbaum (who also receives billing as executive story consultant of the series), Hollace White, Stephanie Garmin, Deanne Barkley, Bill Taub, and series star Susan Howard (Donna).
The change in the writing staff reflects a new production team: while Philip Capice and Cliff Fenneman remains executive producer and associate producer, respectively, Leonard Katzman is demoted from producer to creative consultant, with James H. Brown replacing him. Similarly, Peter Dunne is the new supervising producer, filling in for longtime writer/producer Arthur Bernard Lewis, who have left the series. Additionally, series newcomers Hollace White and Stephanie Garman replace David Paulsen as story editors.
