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 Jordana Brewster, and has appeared on the show since its pilot episode, which first aired on June 13, 2012.

Brewster will play Elena, the daughter of the ranch’s cook, who is locked in a love triangle with Christopher and John".

[2] On February 1, 2011, it was announced that actor Josh Henderson had signed on to play Elena's love interest, John Ross Ewing III.

I just hope the fans of the original series like watching the new generation interact with Bobby and J.R. Ewing and Sue Ellen.

Christopher, believing Elena has ditched him, is heartbroken and eventually seeks comfort in Pamela Rebecca, marrying her.

Elena's elder brother, Drew (short for Andres) comes back to town, no longer the criminal he once was.

It was all the more impressive for the way it combined members of the original cast with younger-demo-actor draws without quite seeming as cynical as a J.R. Ewing business deal."

Tucker concludes: "And overall, Dallas is a solidly constructed soap opera, with strong wooden dialogue and oily plot twists.
