I have watched AMC since I was a little girl and never once did it make me cry, until I saw Dixie die! I can't believe that AMC would do that, after getting all of our hopes up of her and Tad finding Kate and getting back together. Thanks a lot, glad to see this is how you make your fans happy

I am in my mid 30s been wtahcing since childhood, on and off. When I saw Janet from another planets was on I tuned back in until they killed her and Dixie. I was really looking for the Tad and Dixie re-union. None of the newer characters or storylines are as strong. Good bye AMC!

I ONLY started watching AMC again because Dixie returned - how could you kill such a beloved character off ESPECIALLY when she and Tad were finally reuniting!! A very poor choice. The other storylines don't even come close to the deep connection, love and history of these two charcters. Please find a way to bring her back - (in a Days of Our Lives kind of way.....)

I have watched AMC since the very first episode and never once have I consider not watching until today. I am a big, big fan of Tan & Dixie. The other times she left the show I didn't worry so much because I knew it was just a matter of time before she would return and she and Tad would be back together before long, because that is the natural order of things. I don't think you are aware of what a awful thing you have done here. The other vet missing in action were not so final, so why Dixie. I can't begin to explain how this is upsetting me as a fan. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Not only will I no longer watch the show, I will also not buy any products that are sponsoring this show. PLEASE BRING DIXIE BACK

I am a director of school productions and also have watched AMC since the start and NEVER, NEVER have been so angry at this shows writers, director etc. than I am now by killing off Dixie (The GREAT Cady Mcclain) We ALL can see you writers etc. do not care what so ever about us fans and its way past time the fans REACT this time to what you have done. The word IS SPREADING and there now are over 2900 letters of PURE hate, stop watching your show etc. JUST on this board.... you have NO idea what the other boards are saying about you. You SOMEHOW BETTER figure a way to get CADIE BACK as DIXIE and FAST. You stink ABC for doing this. Your rotten, and we all hate you for this.

I was sure she and Tad would finally find their daughter and find happiness. They are the perfect couple. I don't know that I will keep watching the show now. You could have killed one of the other women that are not as important.

I can remember AMC back to the 70s,when my family came to this country and my mother watched, she always wached - I always watched - now I had to write. I am so terribly upset that in 25 years I am taking this opportunity to write and say bring Dixie back - my 3 kids know all the characters and were waiting for Tad and Dixie to find Kate together!!! AMC fans are loyal, but you betrayed us. Things change and fans can accept so much but to kill Dixie was too much, you have truly dissappointed this loyal fan. I THINK YOU SHOULD LEARN FROM DALLAS - MAKE IT A DREAM AND BRING HER BACK TODAY!!!!!! It will be the only way to save yourself and regain the trust and support of us loyal viewers. Don't let us down!

Karen Harris said 01/31/07, 12:55 pm (verified)
I've been a loyal fan since 1981. Have you lost your minds? The love between Tad & Dixie is one of the few constants on AMC. Everyone else is either cheating, plotting, killing, divorcing or changing partners,their gender or whatever. All the interesting, bright and mature actors are gone...Maria, Dimitri (even with his personal problems, he was interesting and exotic)& now David is missing. The final straw is you killed off Dixie! I was patiently waiting for Tad & Dixie to reunite and find Kate. Now you've blown that. There is nothing left for me to watch except for a lot of young inexperienced actors. I am so sick of Ryan's muscles, Kendall's shallowness and the trailer trash in the Chandler family. If you think I'm going to buy Tad and Julia Santos...forget it! That's a mismatch if ever there was one. She's too young for him and I can't get past her scenes with her un-hip husband. Boy, was that bad acting! The class is gone. The maturity is gone and now...you know what?....I'M GONE TOO. I bet you finish dead last in the polls and you deserve it. You've literally destroyed the entire story, its history and its future.

This storyline of killing these women is just plain awful and sends a horrible message to the public about serial killers don't we have enough to worry about. It seems to me that the powers that be needed ratings and forgot that we the fans love dixie & tad & were waiting for a reunion for them & there daughter which now we will never get since they killed her character off last night. I have been a fan of this show for numerous years and I am not sure if I will be watching any longer. All My Children you really messed this one up, Cady we will miss you and Dixie you are wonderful actress and did not need to go this way. All my Children Shame Shame on You. Mary

Bring back Dixie now... Cady McClain is the best actress you have on the show, the most loved. Her job loss is not worth the money you will receive from the budget cut if you lose 3/4 of your fans and all your ratings.. and these are all your permanent, long term fans.. not the younger temporary ones. You'd get off easier firing half the cast. Give Cady her job back, make V-Tach only a temporary heart stopper, and make this right.. Do it for us! For heavens sake, I would prefer Erica Kane to be killed than Dixie!!! And I mean that

Dixie has been my favorite actress on AMC since I started watching 16 years ago... I wrote to bring her back 6 months ago and now that the fans were finally happy and hopeful Dixie and Tad would find their daughter, you betray us and cause such emotional stress upon us, your loyal fans, that we are going through every motion to bring her back.. bring her back now(WE DON'T CARE HOW) and you will have showed us how much you appreciate us as a viewer.. Admit to this terrible mistake. I will not only stop watching AMC because of this but all ABC shows... I am disgusted and insulted.

Makes me totally sick to kill off Dixie,seems someone at ABC has lost their minds and wants to kill off Daytime. Even doing the same thing to General Hospital( killing Alan after 30 yrs) Heard there may even be a walk off there. Shame they didn't do that for AMC.I am also a watcher from early 70's early as 5 yrs old as only show my mother watched. I fell in love with it instantly. Real writers then, no poor excuses like now. I agree that the WHOLE family is what made the show. Starting with Grandma Kate Martin to the smallest baby on the show,FAMILY is what viewers really want.I am 34 and AMC always had a special place in my heart as my favorite, as you loved the older wiser characters, who was there for all the young ones through the ages when parents kicked them out or new to town. Myrtle Fargate. God love her, she is still there but barely.Now there is a character true to Agnes NIxon,Dixie was the last good wholesome character left from earlier days(after they rudely booted Brooke) and the darn writers made her look cold and uncaring. Made all these newbie watchers hate her , no flashbacks explaining why she did what she did(giving up Kate). Horrible writing. Throw out the writers and start new. McTavish begged Cady back and then promised a good storyline.Whatever. Became hate Dixie fest by all young viewers who just started watching. But i noticed AMC cares about a new viewer over a dedicated long time viewer. Personally looking at the AMC messageboards they seem to be uneducated backwoods vulgar teenagers. No respect what so ever.Not what I would want representing my audience demographic. I too have stopped watching. Also noticed on the ABC recaps they never even mentioned Dixie's death on MONday or Tuesday,cowards too scared to face the public outcry.Erica will be next as they backstab her after 37 yrs. She is the Daytime queen but what do they care?Enough Ryan(too in love with himself, Babe is in too many storylines, give her a vacati

Bring Dixie back. I left watching AMC two years ago and came back when Dixie came back because I knew Tad and Dixie would be together at some point. Now that you've killed her, you've lost me as a fan forever. These young ones you have on the show won't be there forever, they're young, they'll want to move on to bigger and better things and then guess what you'll be left with nothing...maybe that's what you want, fans so upset that you take this show off the air and replace it with a stupid reality show.

I have been an AMC fan since 1975. I would like to let you know that I am very sad that you let Cady (Dixie) go. You have made a very big mistake letting go someone who is an asset to your show. Cady has so much talent and her character is loved by millions. How can you do this? There are other people you could have let go instead. If it was cutting back cost, why didn't you get rid the ones that are not worth watching or lack talent (i.e. Di, Sean, Colby, Annie and that freaky character Zarf/Zoe) and bring our beloved Dixie back! Have you all lost your minds??? An Upset AMC Fan

This is a very Sad day in AMC's history. Losing such a fine actress as Cady is a huge loss for AMC,right on the heels of losing Julia Barr & other Vets. I have been watching since the 70's,I started in highschool.What made AMC so different than most the other soaps thru the years was it's rich, warm,family stories with Family members of all ages being a part of the stories.They had all ages babies all the way to great Grandparents!Just having all these new & young characters with no older relatives makes no sense at all. It's not being true to what Agnes Nixon wrote :you are "ALL MY CHILDREN" she didn't mean just young characters. She maent the whole family.The writers are so out of touch to think that this is what we the fans want. Couldn't be more wrong...save Dixie/Cady, let her reuntite with her family,for Tad & Kate and everyone else. After over 30 years I won't be watching either if this storyline isn't changed.The Fans & actors desrve better than this!

I was shocked to hear that Dixie was being killed off . I was hoping it wasn't true and she would survive the poisoning. So, I cried along with the other fans watching the 1-30-07 episode of AMC. For what seemed like forever, we waited for Dixie's return. ABC really promoted that. Then we watched as her storyline never developed and thought for a moment last December that a really good storyline with Dixie, Tad and Kate would unfold. At least that is what we were led to believe. Never happened. Instead all we got was sadness and alot of madness. Soap sweeps? this show is a loser in that race. And, the ratings will prove that. AMC could have been on top with a Dixie, Tad and Kate storyline. Dixie and Tad are and were the heart of the show. We all wanted them to be reunited and be a family again. ABC and AMC do right by your fans and bring Dixie back!, before your ratings plummet and the show ends.

I felt so shocked when Dixie flatlined on Monday's show, but didn't worry too much cause I knew she'd come back on Tuesday's show, and everything would be ok. Then, with tears pouring down my cheaks on Tuesday's show, I felt as if I were being completely mocked for the 15+ years that I've watched this show solely to see Tad and Dixie together. I love so much about AMC, but Tad and Dixie were was the first thing that hooked me on this show, and it truly sickens me to think that I'll never get the payoff after all the time invested.

It is ridiculous that the writers killed off Dixie. They never even developed a good story line for her since she came back. We have all been waiting this entire time for her and Tad to be reunited with Kate and now that is never going to happen. I am only 28 yrs old and I have been watching since I was 13 years old when I was on summer breaks from school. If it is true that the writers think that getting rid of the older characters will help them appeal to a younger demographic they must be out of their minds. Summers have always been the only time soaps cater to the younger crowd and this has been going on for ever. Everybody knows that women usually get hooked on soaps while they are on maternity leave and they continue watching on their lunch breaks or as a stay at home mom. Mothers introduce soaps to their children, just like my mother did. I must say that this last year has been terrible especially the awful story line between Erica and Jack. Killing off Dixie just tops everything off, I don't know if I want to watch anymore, and listen to this all of you writers and executives, this is coming from somebody who is young and in the demographic that you are supposedly trying to appeal to, you need to fix this because you are going to lose a lot of viewers and then you will all be out of a job.

I have been a loyal AMC viewer for almost 23 years and I am now 30 years old. Today was the last straw in what seems like an assault on AMC. If your goal is to clean out loyal viewers in order for newer, more fickle viewers; then you've done an amazing job. I'm crushed not because I'm a fanatic fan with nothing else to do, but my mom and I bonded over this show for many years. Now, we are both DONE, and so goes something we both loved.

Youve already introduced a bunch of new weak, boring characters (Josh, Colby, Jonathan, etc..) to replace those that had real talent and substance like Brooke, Dixie and David. Those characters have stood the test of time. Its because of them that the show has survived this long.... Youre making a HUGE mistake!!

The all My Children executives and writers, and I use the term “writers” loosely, should be ashamed for bringing Dixie (Cady) back and then suddenly killer her off. What are you morons thinking? This whole killing spree is absurd! Their solution is to have a ridiculous story line about Zarf/Zoe to fill Dixie’s place. (LOL) Oh, and throw Bianca in the mix, as a tease to keep us watching. Who is writing this dribble? They should all be fired. Everyone is being killed off. Why don’t they kill off the bad actors? Where are Brooke and Lily? Maybe the show is ending and everyone is going to die. Bring back Cady McClain! I’m tired of these poor story-lines, poor actors, and limited chemistry between actors. You can see the chemistry between Tad and Dixie; even when they are mad at one another. That’s called good T.V.! Like Luke and Laura. Even (Susan Lucci) Erica’s storylines have been mundane. I have been watching since 1970 and AMC use to tell great stories and had believable characters; what has happened? It’s a soap opera, so, bring DIXIE back!

I grew up watching AMC. Dixie and Tad were my favorites. I watched with much sadness today as DIxie died.....what the writers have done is just PLAIN mean to the viewers. We watched over the Christmas holidays as Father Clarence brought new hope of finding Kate. Dixie, Tad and Kate would eventually be reunited! JOY! But after the new year, one by one the story never developed...then you kill off our beloved Dixie. That is the worst you could have done to a show that is already slipping in the ratings. Now watch those ratings slip away even more. AMC has just lost another loyal fan of the show. Take a hiatus, get NEW WRITERS, and bring Dixie back!

I have been watching AMC off and on since it first aired. Nothing was more thrilling than to watch Tad and Dixie. They made the show. Their love and faith in each other, at times against all odds, was so refreshing and amazing. We watched as Dixie was finally pregnant with Tad's child just to be heartbroken when Dixie was presumed dead in a car accident in Europe. David Hayward knew that she wasn't dead! But, the fans waited and waited until one day Dixie came back. All our hopes were renewed. Then the sucky story lines began. When were Dixie and Tad going to get back together and find their little girl? Just before Dixie dies? How lame is this? How lame is it to watch the 'spirit' Dixie watching Tad and Kathy bond...father and daughter....but she cannot touch, feel or hold her little girl? AMC has gone down hill and I don't think it will ever recover unless you bring Dixie back and soon! I agree with #2934 it had better be a drug induced dream. One rumor has it that AMC wants to spice up the show with younger actors and steamier scenes.......it cheapens the show and takes away from what the soap was all about. Old rivals coming back? Who cares? Dixie and Tad were the heart of the show and without them AMC is nothing but another Passions. I think ABC/AMC better start thinking about keeping the loyal fans of the show before the ratings are so low AMC will have a final air day! BRING DIXIE BACK!!!!!!!

I have been watching AMC for 37 years. My favorite couple has always been Tad and Dixie,when Di showed up a few years ago to be Dixie it was exciting but when DI went to Dixie to tell her of her men,I knew Dixie would come home. To have her killed when everyone had finally come to a peaceful resolution for her being gone for 4 years and to finally having Kate within their grasps was mean and a total waste of the last year. I stopped watching Amc in 2001 because it was boring but when well developed and beloved characters are killed of or fade away without explanation means that TPTB don't understand why this show has been on th e air for 37 years. Look over at Days of Our Lives,people want to watch well developed charecters. Do people think that the audience that buys from the sponsers,really care about Colby/Sean/Sidney??? Wake up.

Oh, & by the way, I have 7 family members who will join me in NOT watching AMC any more!! Good Luck with your ratings as they decline!!!

You probably think that all of this outrage = high ratings. You are wrong; you did not finish our story. But, she died today and it appears to be over. It'll be interesting to see what your ratings do now.

Attn. ABC: I have been a fan of AMC for many, many years. And have grown to love Cady, and her role as Dixie. Please do not take her off the show again! We need for you to continue her storyline so she can finally find happiness with her daughter and the man she loves!

UNBELIEVABLE! You must be insane! I've been watching AMC since the 70's & unless this was all just someone's very bad dream, my loyalty to AMC is OVER! WHY on earth did they do this?! Once in a while it would be nice to watch a soap with a little less depressing story line! It seemed that Tad & Dixie were finally going to find their daughter & get back together,as they should have when Dixie first reappeared! How sad that a show that has kept my interest for over 30 years has now completely lost my interest in watching ever again! Isn't real life sad enough? Must you completely depress us with such a tragic story? Someone needs to get this straightened out!

I have been watching AMC for almost 20 years. Cady and Julia have made AMC. As far as I'm concerned, there is no show without them. I will not watch anymore, at it doesn't appear I'm alone. Good luck, Cady.

Attention ABC: Fire the people who cast and release your actors and actresses from All My Children. You are low in ratings, gaining a TERRIBLE reputation, and leave TV viewers with no choice but to change the channel to other networks. Allowing Cady McClain to leave the set of a soap opera that you produce was a HUGE mistake. Please bring back good talent and get rid of your joke of a staff. The mindless wonders that you allow to make these decisions (and just look at your ratings for this show the last few year) are single-handedly destroying one of America's favorite soaps. How sad that the people who need to be reading these outcries from your fans, who, by the way, keep you on air, will probably never read the endless web pages, emails and snail mail begging you to WAKE UP!!

Please bring Cady McClain back! I have watched this show since the first day it went on the air, and can't stand the way it's going! My daughters and their friends all used to watch, but are stopping as they can't stand the loss of all the vetrans that we have all grown to love, especially the women over 35! Contrary to popular opinion, women over 35 do not necessarily want to look at 19 year olds running around in their slips all day! Get a clue fellas!

I have watched AMC since I was in college in the 1970's and prior to this travesty, I was heart-broken to see Greg Nelson's Jenny killed. But killing Dixie was a back-breaker. She was my favorite character. Why bring Cady McClain back just to fire her? And at the most critical time in the storyline, huh? How could ANYONE be so mean to kill a 4 year old girl's parents and then like a week later kill the same little girl's biological mother? Real life is less depressing than this. Are you folks hideous monsters? Do you care at all what your viewers think? We are the people that make the show a success by watching and I will join many other to boycott the show after nearly 30 years to voice my protest. Ms. Carruthers is not at all in touch with what the fans want (some happy moments). I see plenty of people get killed on "24" but right now AMC has more people dying than "24". Michael Knight, David Canary, Jacob Young, where are you? How could you let this happen? If you love Cady as much as we do you should have told Ms. Carruthers that if Cady goes, you all go as well. Then let's see how well AMC does. You may as well kill Erica because soon there won't be anyone left watching. You haven't murdered the characters, you've murdered the show!

Well you went and did it, didn't you? What the heck were you thinking? How could you kill off such a fabulous character, after finally bringing her back with out Tad and Dixie really getting back together. With all these deaths on the show, it is too depressing to watch.What are you going to do next, kill off Kendall or Babe? You people are nuts and my 25 year love affair with this show is just about over.

What kind of ridiculous garbage have you just dumped onto the lap of AMC fans by killing Dixie! I simplu cannot believe that this just happened. Bring her back only to kill her before her and Tad finally reunite by finding their daughter? These writers are whack and thoughtless. Dixie and Tad were the memorable couple in soaps in recent memory. And to kill Dixie off just as her and Tad were finding their way back to each other? Dispicible! I am done with AMC, Dixie was the last hope the show had to keeping a decent storyline. You have outraged thousands and will lose many more viewers than that! They should change the title to TMC... Too many children who can't act!

Bring Dixie and all the others, Brooke, David, Erin, Simone Back! Make it a dream sequence, where the show either opens or closes with all the characters that have been killed off, awake one morning, or at least let Josh or one of the doctors find a heart beat in Dixie. AMC, HURRY AND SAVE YOUR SHOW!

I have watched All my Children for several years. Tad and Dixie are the most memorable couple in all of soaps. They show everyone what true love is all about. They give you hope, make you smile, make you think, and above all, show you that you can conquer anything through understanding and love. Not to mention the fact that Dixie leaves an impression that has always positively influeced viewers to believe in her character. If Dixie is gone for good than so am I. I can't explain just how upset I am at the moment due to the recent bs occurence. AMC writers, get your head out of your as*es!

Please let Dixie stay on AMC. She will be sorely missed. It's too bad that she's only been back for a year and Tad and Dixie are *finally* getting back together only to have Dixie die. Come on!! Throw us a bone. I was crying watching her die. The flashbacks were wonderful, but keep Dixie alive. Every time I watched the show since she came back I've been so grateful to see her, and now she's going to be gone. It's a very sad day on AMC. Very disappointing.

You can add 7 more viewers who have gotten together and agreed we are all done with this soap opera. We have a small AMC community group and many days we get together to watch. Most of us are in our 60's and have watched since the very first day. We have been appauled by the writing in the last few years, the only highlight that made us stay was Dixie, Tad and Kate. We are going to re-organize our group and choose a better soap opera. To rid the show of someone as beloved as Dixie was a big mistake and I think ABC will see this in the ratings. So everyone, get your friends together and do something, don't give them the satisfaction of watching anymore, they WILL know.

I was involved with ONE LIFE TO LIVE in the 80's, and since I retired have watch ALL MY CHILDREN religiously. If I were on the AMC team, I would protest in the strongest way to what they have done here. I hope you people all realize that this was a BIG insult to you as viewers, and I hope you join in, and tell all of your friends, to stop watching. Let the ratings decrease even more, as that is what ABC deserves after this travesty!

ENOUGH. I have watched for 2 years terrible...unrealistic and very fake storylines, but today when Dixie died, I said to myself this is the final episode I will ever watch, and I mean it. DISGUSTING ABC....your new characters (like the one who won the contest to be on the show) are NOTHINGS...You have made Kendall into a total witch, and now you want us to believe that Bionica will possibly go back to a woman who hurt her so? And if BABE wants JR so bad, she would NEVER allow Josh around her every single minute.I will find another soap to devote my time too, that doesn't insult it's educated viewers the way you have been doing.

This is totally unfair to bring Dixie back just to kill her off. That is so wrong. I ahve been waiting for her and Tad to find their daughter Kate. As soon as I saw the little girl on the show I knew she would be the daughter they were looking for. I have been watching this show my whole life My mom watches this show and my grandmother watched it. My grandmother was on her death bed and we sat there together and watched wheneve I got the chance to visit her. The show was going down hill until you brought Cady back. and no no one else would do as a fill in for her Cady is Dixie. If I am gone during the day I tape the show just to watch it.

This is totally ridiculous. To bring Dixie back from the dead and to finally get Cady back, only to fire her a year later? What was the point of all of this? The way they did this was a complete slap in the face to everyone who has invested time and energy into Dixie, Tad and the show. They cite bidget cuts as the reason, but they target an actress and character with such a rich history and following. There are about 15 other characters who could go and it wouldn't matter, but they choose Dixie and Cady, after getting rid of Jill Larson, Vincent I and JULIA BARR just last year. Absolutely ridiculous. This, along with Julia Barr's firing, have made me stop watching after over 15 years.

When AMC started I was nine. I remember my mother watching from day one, and until today, myself and her stilled watch each day. But after today with Dixie, and before her, Brooke, David, Simone, Erin, and whoever else may be on the hit list, I think we are just about finish watching. It is nothing now but stupid, stupid story lines, and kids. Who is left From the earlier days? Adam Chandler and Joe Martin,that is about it. Today when Dixie was watching Junior at his Christmas play, That was AMC when it was at it's finest. AMC, go back those days, and bring back all these characters, you recently bump off, wether it all turns out to be a dream, that they all woke one day having this same type of dream or whatever, but do something to save AMC!

They have lost their minds! AMC need to stop all that sexual orintation junk and get back to the meat of the soap! Traditional relationships like the Tad & Dixie love story. NOT Babe/JR or Zoe/Bianca/Maggie! Something more believable PLEASE! I makes me sick that Dixie's purpose for her return was to find her child. She didn't get to do that and who ever made the decision to fire Cady, should be fired!
