[QUOTE="rkhullar, post: 359723, member: 55799"] The article I read said that. I'd have to go back and Google it I thought she left because of her businesses that were making a Fortune of money but that's not really the real reason why she left. She was concerned that riders were leaving in groves and it's not just Capice or Katzman. Again I stress this there are a lot of things that I agree should have been done differently in seasons 11 to 14 but not everything in those seasons was bad. That's all I'm saying. Now season 14 in particular what was ridiculous about that was that westar basically was in a different plane and how I don't know because that whole Vienna thing and Susan Lucci and all that other stuff it was really wacko. Jordan Lee allowing her to terrorize that function shooting at Arabs and then Jr trying to get that westar stock away from Jessica locking himself in a mental institution and follow ended up giving it to him anyway it just seemed retarded I agree with that. Then westar's in its own world which is not making any sense. Then Jr sitting back and setting McKay up and we know that Johnny dancer was killed by Cliff Barnes. So that was all bull so I agree with you that season 14 definitely needs a lot of work it wasn't just Callie and other things but again let's look at what was going on in those days. This all is a result of writing not so much Katzman or Capice. Do you really think Philip capice would have come up with better ideas.
