"He is in this family that lies to everyone all the time and he has this one "creature" that comes in saying [in Southern accent] 'I am going to tell you so much of the truth; you won't be able to handle it.' He finds a way to handle it and it really becomes this great dynamic."

She also shared what factors caused her agree to sign on to the show to begin with.

"I think it has to be the storytelling. I know one of the showrunners, Mike Robin, from my work on Nip/Tuck. He called and link up again for Dallas. The showrunners sat down with me and explained the arc for the character and told me that their focus was to tell stories. They wanted to have real genuine storytelling. For me, I thought it was so nice to hear."

She added that the show is a great way for her to make her return to the small screen.

The Dallas cast just finished up taping the 10th episode.

Be sure to tune in to the third season premiere of Dallas on Feb. 24.
