Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rove" data-source="post: 66286" data-attributes="member: 100">Probably due to Katzman pushing the Bobby/April pairing rather hurriedly in my opinion. By this stage though I was tuning out, the series best seasons had been viewed. After Pam's leaving Dallas in "Gone With The Wind" and then sporadic references made of her, Leonard Katzman decides to deal with the subject in "Carousel", the opening episode for Season 12 with a completely different actress, no offence to Margaret Michaels.I understand Victoria had placed the exclamation mark on her role as Pam but I'm left wondering did the producers or Leonard really try to entice Victoria to come back for that last final scene with Cliff and her doctor. Leonard could easily have sat down with Victoria and said, "We've screwed up. Can I ask you to come back for a final scene with Ken Kercheval?" Seriously if Victoria didn't wish to be seen on screen we could easily have had a stand-in sitting in the chair with the camera focused on Cliff sitting in front of Pam. Victoria could simply have done a voice over. Instead it's not until 24 years later we learned the fate of Pam, she had died in 1989. Others have praised Cynthia Cidre & Co. for cleaning up a mess that should have been dealt with all those years ago. The problem I had with Cynthia's plot was she also killed off another fan favourite, Katherine in the process.</blockquote>
