Ray Krebbs

Raymond "Ray" Krebbs is a character in the popular American television series Dallas, played by Steve Kanaly. Ray Krebbs is the illegitimate son of Texas oil baron Jock Ewing. He has appeared in the 2012 series.

Background

Ray Krebbs was born on October 19, 1945 in Emporia, Kansas. His alleged father, Amos Krebbs, left him and his mother, Margaret Hunter Krebbs, when Ray was three years old. At age 15, Ray was sent off to Dallas and to the Southfork Ranch with a letter from his recently deceased mother asking Jock Ewing to help Ray out. Ray's mother, a United States Army Air Corps nurse, was a woman whom Jock Ewing had an affair with during World War II. At the time when Ray arrived on Southfork, both Jock Ewing and Miss Ellie Ewing knew that Ray was the son of the same woman whom Jock had an affair with in Britain during the war, but they did not know at that time that Ray was Jock's son.

Storylines

Ray worked for Jock maintaining Southfork as its ranch foreman. Initially, Ray was a bit of a rogue, dating the much younger Lucy Ewing on the sly, and collaborating with J.R. Ewing to break up J.R's younger brother Bobby and his new wife (and Ray's old flame) Pamela Barnes. Despite this, Ray had a good heart, and became a trusted and upstanding friend of the Ewing family. Eventually, Amos Krebbs showed up in Dallas in 1980 and revealed that he wasn't Ray's father, reading out information in Margaret Hunter's diary to Jock Ewing, which revealed that Jock was Ray's father. Jock welcomed Ray into the Ewing family and publicly acknowledged Ray as his son. Because of the incestuous implications, Ray's prior relationship with Lucy was never referenced again.
