I am a 43 year old wife and mother of a three year old boy- I am a fan of AMC since I was 12... especially of Tad and Dixie.  When the writers killed Dixie off, I stopped watching.  I was very frustrated that the writers would allow this beloved character to have such an unfortunate ending.  Fast forward a few years....  I was at a restaurant that had AMC on and OMG!!  That looks like Dixie!!  Could it be??!!  I called my Mom to find out for sure.. and she said "YES!!  Dixie is back....As a ghost"  Huh????    Why couldn't the writers give The Fans what they REALLY wanted??  Dixie back in PV not as a ghost or an angel, but as the real deal?  Michael E. Knight and Cady McClain are just pure magic together.  They are both very talented, and what 30-40 something HASN'T had a crush on Michael E. Knight??  I LOVE his hair...the touch of grey makes him look even MORE handsome, I didn't know that was possible!  Watching their scenes today brought some fond memories back and left me wanting more!  PLEASE PLEASE AMC do the right thing and bring Dixie back - find a way for Tad to have the love of his life back for good!!
