Yeah, I'll date myself - I was absolutely devastated when Renee was killed off. Worse, where I was living that episode was pre-empted and it wasn't until the next day we knew who died. I always thought that was a complete waste. The Anna/Tony/Renee thing worked so well - definitely at the top of the acting crew DAYS has back then. Sadly, when they cast PS as the wildly age-inappropriate Anna, it was just cringe-worthy.
Oh and Renne's kiss-off to Salem the night of the party was further proof the writers completely were wrong in killing her off.
