Pamela Rebecca Ewing (maiden name Cooper; formerly Barnes) is a fictional character from TNT's primetime soap opera, Dallas, a continuation of the original series of the same name which aired on CBS from 1978 to 1991. Rebecca was portrayed by actress Julie Gonzalo, and appeared on the show since its pilot episode, which first aired on June 13, 2012. A member of the Barnes family, the character originated in two episodes of the original series' season 12 (in which she was 5 years old), and also appeared in the TV reunion movie Dallas: J.R. Returns (which is not regarded as canon by the 2012 series). Pamela Rebecca was named after both her aunt, Pamela Barnes Ewing, and grandmother, Rebecca Barnes Wentworth.
Pamela Rebecca is born off-screen in Dallas in 1984, as the daughter of Cliff Barnes and Afton Cooper. At the time of Rebecca's birth, Afton had left Dallas, and Cliff wasn't aware of her existence until 1989, when she appeared in the season 12 episodes "The Yellow Brick Road" and "The Sound of Money". As Afton didn't want to acknowledge Cliff as the father of Pamela (at the time called "Pammie"), they soon leave Dallas again.
Season 1
Pamela (using the alias "Rebecca Sutter") meets Christopher as part of a scheme along with her boyfriend Tommy to infiltrate the Ewing family. Tommy pretends he is "Rebecca's" brother and soon Christopher falls in love with Pamela and they get married. She becomes pregnant with twins. Christopher's ex-fiancée Elena begins dating John Ross in the meantime. Soon, it is revealed that Pamela no longer wants to manipulate the Ewings, as she has fallen in love with Christopher, but Tommy threatens her. Later, in self-defense, Pamela shoots and kills Tommy, hiding the body. But the truth is revealed to everyone. Christopher files for divorce and lets Pamela know he will have her arrested and take her kids from her. He then gets engaged to Elena, who ended her engagement with John Ross because of his lies. It is revealed that Pamela is the daughter of Cliff Barnes and Afton Cooper in the season finale. She vows to her father that she will take down the Ewings and not let her heart get in the way this time.
