Whoa! On last Monday’s Dallas, a big, huge secret about Harrison Ryland was revealed. His daughter Emma helped get him arrested for working with the drug cartels, only there was much more to the story. Ryland was actually working undercover for the CIA! Shocker!
Last month, I visited the Dallas set with a group of reporters to interview the cast. Mitch Pileggi sat down with us and discussed Ryland’s relationship with Emma, the shocking CIA revelation, and Ryland’s relationship with is mother. Plus, the crazy “Mama like” scene!
