Oh Death, Where is Thy Sting?

Quick quiz. On American soaps, you know you are a main character when which of the following happens?

a. You go blind.

b. You have amnesia.

c. You come back from the dead.

d. All of the above.

The correct answer, of course, is "d."

Therefore, when Den returned from the "dead," I did not understand all of the uproar on the forums and in the British press. Being a viewer of American soaps, this sort of thing is not only common, it is expected.
