After she got a head injury in a kidnapping, she went nuts, tried to kill Chloe, and then killed herself and framed Kevin or Chloe.

Oh lord, MAB and/or Hogan Sheffer needs to be put on trial for these types of storylines.

She also at one point ran off with one of the people who'd kidnapped her (Sheila's long-lost son, Ryder, played by a malnourished man who is now on Hart of Dixie).

Jana was a victim of a really bad Kevin-Chloe propping, one of those really horrible character assassination storylines.

Oh I forgot to mention that MAB went around at this time telling us we should love Chloe and Kevin because they were just like Pretty in Pink. Spare me. I don't care about that movie or your abortion of it.

Kevin and Chloe are just one of the many boring and uninteresting couples on Y&R. I will never understand how LML or MAB or the current regime could look at them and think that they are a good pairing deserving of any airtime. This includes Bill and Victoria, Cane and Lily, etc. Y&R used to some of the best couples and triangles after Days, but those days are definitely long gone.

Jana died from a blood clot in her brain...

Oh yes, add LML's name to the pile who wrote some real dreck for this show- I should've said MAB, Hogan Sheffer et al.,

Does anyone think that TPTB are leaving Chloe and Kevin intact because they think they will work? Or because they don't know what to do with them otherwise? Of course, there is the other alternative...

which reminds me, does anyone think Y&R is finished with the terminations on this show? Reading an interview a few months back I got the impression that there would be another round of firings in the near future. As much as I don't relish anyone losing their job, but

I like Elizabeth Hendrickson and think she has been wasted other than when she was paired with Billy and Ronan. However, I will never understand how Kevin Rickaart has stayed on the show for so many years. He must be screwing someone or the nicest person on the planet because Kevin is one of the most un-sexy weird looking male characters that I have ever seen on Y&R.

It's because they think he's too good to let go and so they have to twist themselves into finding ways to keep him.

He's one of those characters who was initally praised and in one good story (like Jeff Branson as Jonathan Lavery) who TPTB stupidly hang on to for way too long.

I miss Jana. At the end EOB was carrying the storyline.

That is crazy. TPTB on these soaps really do live in a crazy deluded bubble when it comes to their writing and casting of these shows.

But he has survived through three subsequent regimes?! How can all of them be so freaking stupid?

He's the kind of character that became really popular during the late 90's, early 00's. The anti-hero and plus he looks like he was related to Micheal.

No regime on any soap has been smart since the mid-90's.

Oh god no. Having her around is just as bad as Kevin. She should have just rotted in jail.
