The District - Lynne Thigpen Fans

[PamOKW]

I heard that they will handle the death of Ella Farmer/Lynne Thigpen on tonight's episode. She really was an important part of the show for me. I'm not sure whether the series will be as special without her.

I totally agree that Lynne was great. I plan to have the tissue box handy while I watch.

Do you watch "Judging Amy"? The show where they dealt with Richard Crenna's death was very well done. Hopefully, "The District" will do a good job, too.

I am a little confused. We are District fans also, but I have heard nothing about this. Did she truly pass away or is it just the shows character?

 

[PamOKW]

Yes Jimmytammy, she passed away quite unexpectedly about a month or two ago. A few weeks ago they did an end of show tribute to her on The District.

I agree that Judging Amy did a good job with Richard Crenna's death. He, too, died quickly but at least they knew he was diagnosed with cancer.

I looked up the date. March 13 was when Lynne died. They still don't have a definite answer as to what happened to her as they are still awaiting test results.

Tonight's show ended up just being a "teaser" for next week. Then we'll need the tissues!

Thats so sad about Lynne Thigpin. I was clueless on that one. I know its just Hollywood, but it looks as if Craig T. Nelson is gone. Anyone know anything or is it just a ploy to get us to watch the next episode?

I sure hope he's not leaving the show. He and his character are what it's all about!
