[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 179272, member: 35"] Fair enough. Of course, she also wanted to squash speculation of her return. Cidre admitted to TV Guide that they planned to use Pam to string fans along, saying "We were probably going to let [the mystery] continue for years on end. Then there were too many questions around it and a little too much drama for us after Victoria Principal's statement." IMO, that shows a blatant disregard for fans. Perhaps it would have been good for ratings to keep the mystery surrounding Pam's fate alive indefinitely, but I find it contemptible. It had already been unresolved for 25 years because the original series had left her fate open ended. It's only because Victoria spoke up that Cidre chose to kill off Pam once and for all. Perhaps I'm being petty as well, but I loved that Victoria's statement got under Cidre's skin. She got rather testy when asked about Pam's fate by TV Guide: [B]TV Guide Magazine:[/B] What did you think of Principal's statement? [B]Cidre:[/B] People have to do what they have to do for themselves, but for those people who read it, I regret it kind of ruined our story for them. But it's all good. We're happy to have put that to rest and Christopher gets his shares of Barnes Global. [B]TV Guide Magazine:[/B] Just so we are clear, Pam is now unequivocally dead? [B]Cidre:[/B] Unequivocally dead. [B]TV Guide Magazine:[/B] And if Victoria Principal changed her mind and wanted to come back, it's now too late? [B]Cidre:[/B] Dead. Okay? [/QUOTE]
