Obviously, I may be in the minority, but I'm not gonna miss Dixie. They trashed her character so royally that its a mercy killing to me. I'm only goig to be sad that GL's Tammy does, but not Dixie.

I'm sorry Cady got fired, but everything happens for a reason. I doubt she will be out of work for long.

I am not sure I believe the TV Guide article. I have read other websites/posters saying that Cady had a three year contract. Who knows now. But it sure seems like AMC may have been caught off guard by the reaction from the fans and they are trying to do damage control. A little too late if you ask me.

Could it be the same way that Julia Barr was fired? They did offer her something...but she turned them down. Everyone considers that her being "fired". So maybe it's a little of both with this situation. Maybe they made Cady and offer she didn't like or want, heck maybe they were going to do something storyline wise she was against, and she said No, so they let her go. It could be a combo, IMO. We're never going to get the full, and complete story, IMO.

According to this article, focus groups were the determining factor of Dixie's death. There's also a quote from McTavish saying that fans want to see more Krystal and Babe. Uh, where was this focus group held? At Bobbie Eakes's home?

Focus groups were also the determining in the death of one Maureen Bauer of Guiding Light. That show has never recovered.

I don't believe it. I've seen it posted but not from an official source. Anyway I know it's not true because I heard about the results of the focus group they did on AMC at SSW in November and it definitely did not say anything like that. Not even close.

An update: TV Guide On-line admitted that they had misinformation and that ABC fired Cady. Daniel updated the article and wrote a retraction. I wonder if ABC lied to him?

Also, this is from Cady from her My Space Website www.myspace.com/cadylane

Don't Believe Everything You Read: All I want to say is, wait until Soap Weekly comes out. Carolyn Hinsey is the only person I have talked to about the death of Dixie and out of respect to ABC the article will come out with the event, as opposed to before. Anything else in the press is speculation poised as fact, for their own agenda. It saddens me that some in the soap press feel compelled to do this, when the truth is so important to the fans of the show. I apologize that you have to wait to hear the truth, but it will be worth it.

I am very interested to here Cady's full side of the story. Out of respect to ABC, pfftt. If they fired you Cady, what respect should you give them?

I really hope she ends up on DAYS or Y&R..... I am so beyond crushed and pissed over this. Never ever has something AMC has done made me so mad and disillusioned. One can only take so much!

    • I love that office set and I wish we could see more of it. I forgot the verbal exchange between Lady Whistle Tits and Colin. What was the outcome? Why was she crying? Did Colin clock her over the head and stick a mini LGBTQ flag in the middle layer of her eardrum?
    • Well, we all knew this was going to happen with Sloan/Eric/Nicole/EJ. But I like this storyline. I just wish they would slow it down. You don’t rush through a storyline when it’s good, you play it for all its worth. I hope we get another twist somewhere down the line. Plus, there’s too many Dimeras on the canvas as it is. And not enough Bradys.  Speaking of Dimeras, what was this Dimitri/Kristen marriage [!@#$%^&*]??  Thank God it seems like it’ll be over and done with after just this one episode. And judging by the way those scenes ended, I hope this doesn’t mean that Peter Porte lied in the Michael Fairman interview. Plus, I see they’re screwing up the timeline again, since 39 years ago, Megan was in Salem, completely alive and devoted to Bo.  Other than that, I would much rather have seen Chloe’s first day at the Spectator rather than just hearing about it. And I would much rather have heard about Leo crying about Colin rather than seeing it. They really need to sort out their priorities on this show. 
    •   RHOA has lost the humor that took it to the top of the RH franchises. The ones who understood comedy either got grumpy (Nene), fired (Phaedra) or left of their own accord (Porsha). Kenya and Kandi are not natural comedians. Sheree's comedy was her obliviousness. The shade is now about jabbing each other, not having a belly laugh. Editing is trying to fill the humor gap but failing. There is also no cohesion: everyone comes across as a work hire. I've been waiting for my streaming service to upload last week's AND yesterday's episode. It claims there is a 'technical issue' but has no problem uploading RHONJ, VPR and other Bravo content. I don't know what's going on, but it happened with last season's RHOA, too. It's symbolic of the way Bravo has checked out of this franchise. They need to bring back Nene, Porsha, Phaedra, Cynthia, even KZB (though I really don't like her). Just throw everything at this show, and if Kandi or Kenya are unhappy about those returns, welp...

    • 100%. Companies want to block any criticism or duck accountability with regards to delivering a service. They sent two young kids to deal with hundreds of passengers, and they just repeated the mantra "Please go onto the website and rebook your journey." Not one executive or decision-maker was visible. To compound matters, I ended up catching Covid from the melée of passengers at the station, lol. This is what I mean about being let down by tech. A more personalized, human(e) service would have been more efficient in this situation. Within an hour, most passengers could have been quickly rebooked on trains that very day. But Eurostar just wants the algorithm deal with everything, and save some $$ and avoid either training humans or having to deal with human customers. Another example: the closure of physical retail bank spaces in the UK. They want everyone to do banking 'on the app.' This is isolating a sizeable portion of older or immigrant residents who prefer dealing in cash and checks and don't know how to use computers or fancy smartphones. How to take out cash or deposit checks? Where do you go when you notice fraud in your account or on your credit card? Sit on a phone for half-an-hour and go through the motions dictated by automated voicecall? Biden also recognises the alliance aspect of shared values under threat. But I will say that the Inflation Reduction Act was not well received in the EU -- it was seen as a competitive strike to attract European green business across the Atlantic to the US. Now the EU is trying to formulate meaningful green subsidies and incentives of its own. Fear of an invasion of Taiwan is also governing this decision. Will the US back the Pacific alliance of Taiwan, Japan and South Korea? Guess that depends on who is in the WH.
    • That is interesting as it's audience share doesn't really drop much. So it seems overall that timeslot lost households. At least that's how I read it.  You can see it drop from an 8.4 to a 7.9 but it maintains a 27% share and then it falls again to 7.6 and finally drops 1% share point. So despite it's big tumble in rank, overall it was still mostly maintaing its share of the available audience.
