[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 399816, member: 23"] Back when this happened I remember being very curious about what had happened. In my youthful naïveté I thought it highly unusual for there to be anything but joy behind the scenes of a sitcom so this seemed particularly brutal. With there being no search engines and me being in Britain where Valerie aired in the afternoons and went mostly under the radar of media gossip, I struggled to find out very much. There may have been a titbit in a paper here and there, but I think my main clue that something was wrong was a line in another sitcom when Sophia referenced Valerie's ousting on [I]The Golden Girls[/I]. It seems she got a very raw deal. I had no idea she had won her legal suit, but that must have been bittersweet when her character was dead and buried. I appreciate the warning and will trust your judgement on this one. Thanks. I'll keep it on the back burner for later (but must confess I think I may struggle with that narration). Yes, that's always been my impression as well. It's understandable considering hers was the very first episode, but also a little surprising that the intended tone wasn't transmitted either through script or direction. [/QUOTE]
