[QUOTE="Jason73, post: 369691, member: 3"] I was reading an argument on Facebook today over who was responsible for killing off Frankie Frame. I think it's hilarious that people are arguing over the murder of a fictional character that occurred 24 years ago--but both sides were so adamant in their argument that it made me curious. I thought I had always heard JFP was responsible for that decision. It was suggested that an EP wouldn't make that decision but that a head writer would and that Maggie DePriest was actually responsible. There was a quote from DePriest where she mentioned she didn't write a [I]grisly[/I] death when she wrote Frankie's death, so clearly she wrote the death. Is this one murder JFP actually wasn't responsible for? I remember all the talk of it being Donna or Paulina possibly and then it was Frankie because of a focus group or something. I know this is all (very) old news--I just always had it in my head that it was another reason to not like JFP. It's funny with all the thousands of deaths that soap writers have penned over the years that Frankie's murder is still so infuriating to fans all these years later. Is it because it's unusual for a popular main character to be killed off in such a violent way? You don't see people still infuriated over Isabella's death on Days or Georgie's* murder on GH or Sally's death on AW or Gillian's death on AMC. Is it because Barret was fired and didn't want to leave, that fans hold such a grudge? *Georgie's murder is the one that bothers me the most out of all the ones I mentioned (besides Frankie's of course).
