Marlene Forte has been cast in the TNT Dallas pilot as Carmen Ramos, the Ewings cook and mother to Elena Ramos (the girlfriend of John Ross).
The character of Carmen is described as – the long-time Ewing cook, she has a quaint, wise old-world manner to her.
Marlene has starred in numerous television series, eagle eyed fans of the series Lost may remember her role as Detective Mason.
But what happened to Teresa fans may ask? Yes the long time Ewing maid is nowhere to be seen and history slightly rewritten as we never got to see Carmen doing the Ewing dinners, but apparently she was there, somewhere, adding the spice to Miss Ellies famous chili.
