And it took 100 episodes to do it in. This story began as a subplot to the main plot that ended a month before. I never saw such a minor story dragged out so much as this...it could have taken a week to this in!
Unfortunately, this is basically Liz's last hurrah on DS...she is never given a story of her own anymore. They could have given her one during Leviathian, it appeared like it at first, but they wasted so much potential there.

And quite a pathetic little hurrah it was. I have to wonder if Bennett was just as happy with her less demanding role though. She was paid to be the star and I'm sure she kept the same pay for a lot less work. I know actors are very competitive for lines and camera time, but I somehow like to think Bennett was above that and a smart cookie to boot.

I think you got that impression from Miss Bennett during her appearance on the Mike Douglas Show... one of the few interviews (I believe) she did during the run of the original Series.

Back when the "death" story was new, I posted rather obliquely about this conclusion, not wanting even a spoiler warning to possibly ruin it for anyone new.
I love this finale. The whole suspense that the wolf would find Carolyn, her wanting to protect her daughter, and that that's what finally enables her to reach the push button. And, it proves that she was right to have the button and the bell system set up - can you imagine if they had disobeyed her?!! And then, to still be pronounced dead but suddenly show up!!! (I had forgotten that part.)
Actually, the death story doesn't really go on that long. It's stretched out over a long period of time, but except for a couple of episodes, they don't spend that much time on it. And then, during the Vicki wedding story and it's aftermath, Liz went back to being pretty normal.
So, I feel it's worth it to have all of that just to set up this marvelous outcome!!

[hello][hello]I loved her as Judith. Remember what she did to her "husband". The good man (won't say who he was) so much got what he deserved. She really had a great deal to do as Judith and really made the most of it.

No, actually, I don't recall ever seeing that. I know my Granny watched Mike, but I was never very interested. It just makes sense to me. Bennett had trouble with lines, she wasn't young and making her success, it seems logical that she would be OK with working AND taking it a little easy at the same time. Frid certainly tired of being the main star, it is refreshing to know there was a show on which people were willing to share the limelight.

Amen to that! After sitting and watching DS on my own for a while now, it is interesting to find out that I am not alone in hating the Leviathan storyline.

I loved the ending, too. My heart was pounding cuz everything was happening so fast in one episode.
