Former Dallas star Charlene Tilton has admitted that she is keen to appear in TNT's forthcoming reboot.
The actress played Lucy Ewing, known as 'The Poison Dwarf', on the original CBS version of the show from 1978 to 1985, and again from 1988 to 1990.
She told TV Line: "I read the script for the first episode [of the reboot] and it is absolutely wonderful. It's going to be fabulous."
Tilton added that she would be keen to join her former co-stars Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray in the new series.
"They've gotta bring me back!" she said. "People have sent me internet petitions to bring her back, and I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, thank you!'"
Jesse Metcalfe, Josh Henderson and Jordana Brewster will also appear in the Dallas pilot, which has been written by Cynthia Cidre.
