Oh, Baby! Will Tad Find Out Dixie's Secret?
Although it is the news that Tad and Dixie fans have longed to hear--a baby is on the way--the catch is that Cady McClain is about to exit AMC. Will Tad's pregnant wife leave him in the dark? It's the storyline twist that has viewer's talking.
The In Depth Story: When McClain announced last fall that she was going off contract, it came at a time when Tad (again) had infuriated his wife by inviting psycho Leslie Coulson back into their lives. As such, fans assumed that, at some point, Dixie would just retreat to Pigeon Hollow to facilitate her portrayer's departure.
AMC executive producer Jean Dadario-Burke and headwriter Richard Culliton, however, entertained bigger, bolder plans, an exit story that would dare to broach a hot-button topic: that is, the elusive Tad and Dixie baby for which fans have longed for since Dixie's August 1999 miscarriage.
Now, as McClain's final air date, Wednesday, February 27, nears, the question lingers: Before she leaves, will Dixie tell Tad about their baby? A Very Special Goodbye Since McClain asked that Dixie not be killed off (so that the actress has the option of returning someday), Burke and her staff put on their thinking caps to fashion a fitting farewell. "Cady loves us, and we love her, so her leaving was a difficult choice," notes the AMC boss. "But she feels like she needs to go, at least for a little bit, if not for good." "So I thought, if the fans know that it is her choice," Burke continues, "shouldn't we give them something to really hope for?" Will McClain Return?
Enter headwriter Culliton's brainstorm to have Dixie be pregnant--yet conceal the news from Tad as she prepares to leave for Europe. "This is not any old walk-in-the park good bye," says Burke. "I told Cady that we would give her a decent send-off, and I'm pleased that it's this big a send-off! Although it's not big, dramatic fireworks, it promises big story for her, should she come back!" McClain, for her part, should be pleased with Dixie's condition. "It's a great idea! Let's have a baby!" she once said of the idea. "A couple that has loved each other this long deserves to leave a piece of themselves behind."
