Message: <blockquote data-quote="stevew" data-source="post: 33356" data-attributes="member: 130">No I don't believe in killing off main characters unless they die in real life.  I also don't believe in replacing main characters.  If they want off the show I'd send them away with a plausible story.  How they handled Jock was brilliant.  Miss Ellie with Donna Reed was the hight of stupidity. Bobby - the simple fix. 1st thing in the season opener JR and Miss Ellie stand over Bobby in a coma hidden away.  That way again - never kill a main character and they could have continued just as they did even with the ending that season where he turns around in the shower.  Never kill off. Never replace main characters.  Maybe there are some exceptions where that worked but I'm betting they're exceptions.  Like Chase in falcon crest - no body and Angela asking when are you going to tell Maggie you're alive.  Killing Melissa studip.  Killing Maggie - the end of the show.  At least the we're smart enough to put Angela in a comma.</blockquote>
