She tried to turn the show into something it wasn't and ended up destroying it in the process. Whether she accepts responsibility or not she is absolutely responsible for what happened to Frankie.....and nothing, not even a soap, can survive without a heart.veggieburgermeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978402532318137066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-22833953745677994582013-08-19T14:00:09.360-04:002013-08-19T14:00:09.360-04:00If John Abbott and Liz Foster had not been killed ...If John Abbott and Liz Foster had not been killed off they would have added so much depth and history to the story of Katherine Chancellor's death.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-74113649226967060902013-08-19T13:53:19.241-04:002013-08-19T13:53:19.241-04:00It makes me wonder whether Y&R has been experi...It makes me wonder whether Y&R has been experiencing a similar effect after killing off so many of its popular characters over the last several years (John Abbott, Brad, Colleen, Cassie, etc.)<br />Seems that there are too few characters to root for on this show now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-86081516085012912492013-08-19T11:30:24.065-04:002013-08-19T11:30:24.065-04:00And sometimes the priorities are very out of whack...And sometimes the priorities are very out of whack. No matter who was responsible for cutting actors on AW in 1996, it still happened and not long after the show spent a fortune on fancy new sets. They looked great but I would have rather had the actors stay on the show in the old sets.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-48675046893873272832013-08-19T11:27:22.775-04:002013-08-19T11:27:22.775-04:00thommthomm, that's a good point.
