So Eric tweeted that he was bummed about Emma not returning as Jennifer but that Emma had to do what was best for her and her family.
1st of all: I hope this means simply that she and her family wanted to go home and that all is well. Off hand, I would say that it's likely they didn't or couldn't offer her a contract with suitable pay. In which case, she would have my full support: when possible, never take less than you know you're worth.
2nd of all: It's good to know that Jennifer's death isn't the result of some whim coming from a writing team that kills off characters (particularly females) willy-nilly.
3rd of all: That's really sweet of Eric. I wonder what kind of questioning/grilling he got from fans?
At this point, I always consider recasts. When we love a character, how attached to the actor is that? Could Jennifer be loved if she was played by someone else? Could Duke?
I'm glad that Jennifer wasn't just some disposable character to this show. That makes me feel better, but there are a number of emerging reasons that I might not watch Season 5. At least, not in the way that I have watched the previous four seasons, not week by week, certain to watch it live or as soon as possible after.
P.S. Eric's tweet doesn't explain why Colin Ferguson is the new Maytag man.
