Elena Ramos is a fictional character and one of the primary female
leads in the primetime soap opera Dallas on the TNT network, an
updated version of the original series of the same name that aired on
CBS from 1978 to 1991. Elena is portrayed by actress Jordana Brewster,
and has appeared on the show since its pilot episode, which first
aired on June 13, 2012. Dallas follows the trials and tribulations of
the wealthy Ewing oil family living in Dallas, Texas.On January 29,
2011, Jordana Brewster was the first non-original cast member to sign
on for the series continuation. Nellie Andreeva described the role:
"The project â€" written by Cynthia Cidre and Warner Horizon â€"
centres on feuding cousins John Ross Ewing III and Christopher Ewing,
the offspring of brothers J.R. and Bobby Ewing, respectively, as they
clash over the future of the Ewing dynasty. Brewster will play Elena,
the daughter of the ranch’s cook, who is locked in a love triangle
with Christopher and John". On February 1, 2011, it was announced that
actor Josh Henderson had signed on to play Elena's love interest, John
Ross Ewing III.When asked about both her character and the show,
Brewster said: "You know, I'm on the third season now of the original
Dallas. It's just so much fun to watch. When I saw our pilot, I got so
emotional when the theme song came on. It's like you're a part of
something so iconic. I just hope the fans of the original series like
watching the new generation interact with Bobby and J.R. Ewing and Sue
Ellen. It's kind of like what happens with Fast and the Furious, you
get to pick up where characters left off and you get to see them
evolve. There is still family drama playing out, there are those who
still care about money more than anything and those who care about the
family more than anything. There are those age-old themes that are so
much fun to watch play out. I'm in a love triangle between John Ross
Jr. (Josh Henderson) and Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe). I grew up with
the boys on the ranch, so I'm very familiar with their antics. It's a
really fun, juicy role to play. I'm also an engineer."Elena Ramos grew
up on Southfork Ranch with John Ross and Christopher. She is the
cook's daughter and moved to Dallas from Mexico with her parents when
she was 8 years old. The three children were close, but Christopher
had her heart, and they became engaged after dating in graduate
school. However, Pamela Rebecca Barnes (posing as Rebecca Sutter)
ended their engagement by sending an email, pretending it was from
Christopher, telling Elena not to show up at their wedding because he
was done with her. Christopher, believing Elena has ditched him, is
heartbroken and eventually seeks comfort in Pamela Rebecca, marrying
her. Nicolas Treviño Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
