Why has Dixie stayed away all this time? I just can't see how she'd let JR think that she was dead, because she loved him so much. I'm really curious as to how they'll explain this. Anyone know anything???

I haven't the foggiest as to how they're going to do this. I wish I could help you, Liz. But I'm really not looking forward to this, considering how they've brought everyone else back from the dead. Terd's the only one to survive (and only just by THE HAIR ON HIS HEAD! Acccckkkk!) I really hope I'm wrong. I hate being cynical all the time It's really quite exhausting.

I was taught at an early age to be cynical. Not in a bad way, but in a "use common sense and don't be an idiot" way. No, my mom never said those exact words, but we were taught that common sense is as important and book knowledge. I'm very skeptical with her return, and would love to see this explained in a way that will make sense to us as to why she'd let her son think she was dead. There are VERY few reasons why this would be acceptable or in character of Dixie.

Your mom raised you well, I can see! Yes, there's going to be a lot of "splainin'" to do. I hope I have the energy to watch this. I'm tired even thinkng about it, frankly. BUT, perhaps they will surprise us all! Sorta doubt it though. But, I like to be wrong once in a while. I'm hoping this will be one of those times. One can only hope.

I hope we're both wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if we're right!

Liz, we probably are right, dang it. But it would be a nice surprise... By the way, I love your avatar. Now, do you think i could get antlers on Zach? Oh, that is SO Freudian! I think it's past my bedtime! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa and expecially, Happy Chimichanga. Tex, if you're still awake, well GO TO BED for God's sake! Love and joy to you all!

When I think about how tptb will attempt to explain this away I think back on Monty Python's Holy Grail and how they prove the woman is a witch.. "well if she ways the same as a duck..." I'm sure the logic here will be similiarly straightfoward.

I can't believe they can think of something so wonderful that it will fulfill our expectations at this point, since her return has been so anticipated and talked about.
But I'm excited about it for just two reasons:
1) I always loved Tad and Dixie
2) I am so happy TPTB will have something else to write about other than the same old boring stuff they've been doing. I hope it will rejuvinate the show a bit.
(see - there are my grand expectations showing again!!)

Platinum, sadly, those are not huge expectations! We need some good, creative stories! Trixie, you're so bad!!!

Maybe she was in a coma for 2.5 years? I find it hard to see how they'll explain it otherwise...its over three years already, and they already did the "I was depressed" thing with Di. And that was a pretty weak excuse IMO. I don't know. I hope Dixie kicks Di's butt for impersonating her though. It'll make Dixie's own return that much harder.

I can't imagine any excuse that would be o.k. for her not to have contact with her son and grandson for three years, unless she was being held against her will or was incapacitated.
Which she clearly is not either of those.

Really, Minkie, that's about the only excuse that would be acceptable, other than amnesia ( ), or a threat to JR's life if she ever revealed herself to be alive.

I agree - but why not go back after she comes out of the coma?

Yeah I really can't see any good reason for it, unless she wasn't able to move somehow or there was a threat to JR and Tad. I mean really, she missed the birth of her GRANDSON. That's huge.

Unless she woke up just recently?
