Here is more info on Ray Krebbs than I even remember...but it does reference the Lucy/Ray fling from way back...from wiki:
Raymond "Ray" Krebbs, was a character in the popular American television series Dallas, played by Steve Kanaly (1978-1988, 2012). Ray Krebbs is the illegitimate son of Texas oil baron Jock Ewing and U.S. Army nurse Margaret Hunter.
Ray was born October 19, 1945 in Emporia, Kansas. His alleged father, Amos Krebbs, left him and his mother Margaret Hunter Krebbs at age 3 and at age 15, Ray was sent off to Dallas and to the Southfork Ranch with a letter from his recently deceased mother to Jock Ewing. His mother, an United States Army Air Corps nurse, was an intimate of Jock Ewing during World War II. Ray worked for Jock maintaining Southfork as its ranch foreman. Initially, the character of Ray was a bit of a rogue, dating the much younger Lucy Ewing on the sly, and collaborating with J.R. Ewing to break up J.R's younger brother Bobby and his new wife (and Ray's old flame) Pam. Despite this, Ray had a good heart, and became a trusted and upstanding friend of the Ewing family. Eventually, his father resurfaced in 1980 to reveal that Ray's real father was Jock Ewing and he was accepted into the Ewing family with open arms (except for J.R., who still regarded Ray as "the help"). Because of the incestuous implications, Ray's prior relationship with Lucy was never referenced again.
Ray eventually found happiness with politician and widow Donna Culver and they married in 1981. However the marriage began to collapse and in 1985 they separated. Donna found out she was pregnant and Ray tried to reconcile with her, but she refused. By 1987 they had divorced and Donna had given to birth to a baby girl named Margaret Krebbs after Ray's deceased mother.It should be noted that during the "Dream Season" Ray & Donna adopted a deaf boy named Tony after Donna miscarried.
In 1988 Ray married Jenna Wade after Jenna had given birth to his half-brother Bobby's son, Lucas. Their marriage and the decision that Ray adopt Lucas caused some acrimony between the once-close Ray and Bobby, but they made amends and resumed their brotherly relationship. Eventually, trouble with Jenna's teenage daughter Charlie caused friction between Ray and Jenna. After sending Charlie to boarding school in Europe, Ray and Jenna decided to move to Switzerland permanently. Clayton and Miss Ellie Farlow visited them before they too left Dallas, tiring of the constant battles within the family.
In 1991 Ray returned for the final episode, and in J.R.'s dream, Ray has a very unhappy working life, having never found out Jock was his father. Ray is also limping heavily due to rodeo injuries (stock footage is shown of Ray in the rodeo won by Dusty Farlow in season 3). Seeing Ray working to make ends meet on a ranch and also in a bar (where he is treated poorly), J.R. admits, "I kinda feel sorry for him." Later in the dream it is Ray's birthday, and despite having a poor work life, Ray has a very happy family life and even has a son named Jock. J.R. seems genuinely happy for him, bearing in mind this is a dream. Ray also appeared sporting a moustache, something he never had during his actual time on Dallas.
In 1998 Ray makes a shock return in War of the Ewings when, out of nowhere, he helps Bobby and Sue Ellen in a barroom brawl. It is later revealed Ray is broke as the Krebbs ranch was remortgaged several times. Bobby helps him out until J.R. unwittingly helps Ray pocket $50 million for the land, which was auctioned to J.R.'s bitter rival Carter McKay. The land was only valued at $10 million, but happened to be a source of crude oil which started a bidding war between J.R. and McKay. McKay's bid won the auction, but J.R. later revealed that, in Jock's will the mineral rights were deeded to the Ewing's trust funds thereby making the oil useless to Carter McKay.

At least they've corrected that issue!
