I was a faithful AMC fan for 20 or 25 years (my only soap) and I QUIT watching the day after they killed off Dixie in this scene. I absolutely was stunned, bewildered, and SO ANGRY. They were magic together (Tad and Dixie).... simply magic. I still miss them both. But I vowed never to watch it again. (Well, not unless they can figure out a way to bring Dixie back and she and Tad reunite again). Feb 2011.
clarification to what abyss104 is saying...no that ISN'T so.
in fact, Cady wrote a blog saying how disppointed she was w/ Julia Barr/Brooke leaving [there were even specs/rumors that for making that tribute to her, Cady got fired. which she clarified wasn't so, given how JHC approved that blog, before she put it up at the ABC site]. also Julia B. WASN'T fired! but she basically was forced to quit w/ how they were offering her recurring and she wanted to be utilized/have s/l.
as for why Cady was fired, what she herself said in a blog. she wrote about how she was vocally against [BEHIND THE SCENES] turning Tad into Madden's torturer/murder & w/ how they were planning to basically sweep it under the rug [ they did]. also how she thought it was inappropriate/irresponsible to do a torture s/l w/ what was going on in the world at the time. however, they of course told her the same ol' same old..*the gist* we ran out of s/l ideas for your character so she'll be killed off.
do you guys remember a girl tad was friends with name camille. she came on the show in 1998 and was killed in the explosion that same year at. what was her storyline all about?
Cady had problems with the lady who plays brooke which led to the absence from the show. They killed her off. Her death didn't make much sense. Her back as a Ghost is stupid.
Obviously you don't read soap digest. lol,2006 she was there. Of course Cady died "on the show" because of the slayer story. Cady and Julia had problems outside the show which got Cady fired. Brooke was around but she didn't have any a serious roles. Infact, she was beefing with Jamie about him dealing with Julia because of the age facter at that time.
Why couldn't Josh Madden have her hidden like Babe?He faked her death so he could try and save her. Dixie deserves to come back and find Kate with Tad. That scenerio would work in the Soap world.
Did you hear that Cady McClain will return as Dixie in April but as a ghost?? She's going to help Tad guide him to Kate. What a rip off to all of us T/D fans!! We wanted Dixie ALIVE when they found Kate!!!
If AMC wants to boost their ratings, they should bring Dixie back. I read that she did not want to leave and besides, no one is ever dead on the soaps! Tad and Dixie are timeless.
I have been watching AMC since 1975 and Tad and Dixie were my favorite couple. It was really a mistake to have Dixie die. This scene is heartbreaking.
megan mctavish got fired AGAIN for this, u would think they would hire a new writer when she had three or four failures before, seriously....this is so ridiculous, they had an amazing actress in their clutches and they totally destroyed her. i'm so sick of babe and krystal
NO!NO!NO! AMC SUCKS NOW! HOW COULD THEY! DIXIE"S DEAD! DEAD! That ois the most heartbreaking amc could ever do, kate never saw her mother! They . . killed the golden couple!
this was stupid of the amc writers or executives to do, all this cast should just go start their own show and ditch these pathetic people that kill off good characters like dixie and well babe is next.
I hate AMC. This is the biggest slap in the face to fans. I have been a T&D fan for 15 years. Dixie not getting to see Kate and the fans waiting a year for a T&D reunion just to kill her off? I wash my hands of AMC for good. They will go off the air making these awful mistakes. I cried so hard watching these scenes.
I AM APPAULED! (spelling?) .. I THOUGHT GH WAS BAD FOR PUTTIN LAURA IN A CATATONIC STATE BUT THATS NOTHING COMPARED TO KILLING DIXIE! and shes really DEAD! not "dead," but DEAD! i cant believe this! this is bullllllshit!
NO!NO!NO! AMC SUCKS NOW! HOW COULD THEY! DIXIE"S DEAD! DEAD! That ois the most heartbreaking amc could ever do, kate never saw her mother! I vow to never watch amc again! They . . killed the golden couple!

She shouldn't have died,
thats crazy.
i don't think she is dead personally, so what if she came back as a ghost, so did Jesse.

AMC, you're not supposed to kill off 1/2 of a super couple.
Ridiculous.

Brooke wasn't even on the show when Cady came back, they didn't kill her because of that. They killed her because of the stupid Satin Slayer story.
