All My Children - Cady McClain?

Question

Was truly hoping to get Dixie back soon (the REAL Dixie); unfortunately caught this today on Soaps.com.

"Cady was last seen in February, when she ate some poisoned peanut-butter pancakes intended for Babe and died. That death left a void in Pine Valley: Tad still hasn't found his and Dixie's daughter Kate and fans didn't get to see a renewal of the Tad/Dixie love match.

With the ouster of former AMC headwriter Megan McTavish, dedicated Pine Valley dwellers hoped that history would be rewritten (hey, it's happened before!) and Dixie would rise from the dead. Last week when Janet scribbled the words "Dixie Lives" on her notepad while "interviewing" Tad and Krystal, fans got really excited that Dix would be back in the near future. News of Cady's return to Oakdale have squashed those rumors.

Or has it?

Characters are recast all the time in soapland. Does Janet's scribble point to the return of a recast Dixie? Only time will tell. "

Comments? Questions? Responses?

Answer 1

I don't think that Dixie will come back again. They showed her dead body so there really wouldn't be a way to recast or bring the character back. Its not like the last time she "died" and they never recovered the body.

Answer 2

There have been a lot of miraculous "resurrections", but usually those characters who come back from the dead weren't really dead to begin with. Dixie had that out of body experience where she saw the truth about Tad's child. She was clad in white. She was an angel. She is gone. Dixie might live in Janet from another planet's head, but they can't bring her back. What if they recast her like they did Greenlee? We don't want that! Dixie's better off a memory in that case.

Answer 3

Thanks for the update. I loved Dixie. It just wasn't right that she and Tad couldn't find Kate and have a loving reunion.
Why would Janet scribble that? Hmmm.
You know, Babe looked dead and she managed to live. I believe in miracles so just maybe she will come back. I'm like you - I'd love to see the REAL Dixie come back.

Answer 4

Sadly I think our belopved Dixie is gone..... so what do they do??? They bring us a HORRIBLE new Greenleigh .... does anyone else have a hard time getting used to this woman? I'm still trying to get used to GH's Carlie and she's been on a long time now.... I wish the producers would just see that we all love the origional characters.... only bring them back from the dead when you are resigning the same actor/ actress!

Answer 5

Caddy is going back to ATWT "In a message on her very own internet site set the checklist in the present day: McClain printed that she would be in a position to return to simply by fact the international Turns later this year. the two-time Emmy winner regarded until now on the CBS cleansing soap from April 2002 to July 2005. "i'm returning to ATWT to play Rosanna Cabot, who will upward push up from her coma in Switzerland to what deeds we are in a position to basically think of," McClain stated in a fact on her very own information superhighway internet site. "who's she now?! What did she dream?! How is her hair?! i'm very delighted to be returning, and that i'm hoping to have lots of exciting."

Answer 6

I loved Dixie but don't think she is coming back

Answer 7

They didn't show Dixie's body in the coffin, but they did show her spirit. She saw Kathy and said something like "You're my Katie." I like for Tad and Krystle to get together, but their baby will more than likely turn out to be Adam's after all, and Tad will find out Kathy is his daughter (Katie) and he and Julia will fall in love and raise Kathy/Katie together, leaving poor Jamie out in the cold.

Answer 8

I hope so. I remember watching the funeral of Taylor (on bold and beautiful) years ago on bold and beautiful and she was buried. then, 2 years ago, she came back from the dead
