Fans of the show didn't like how Fiona was so easily removed from the show very early in the series just as Joey entered the story line. There was speculation that she couldn't commit a schedule to finish the series and so like many stars who previously worked on a continued TVB series and couldn't fully commit, they were simply "killed" or excused off to move along the plot. Several of the previous characters had unresolved plot lines, but the actors had different committed projects and so they were never re-visted or had brief returns like Ah-Fa's trip to Japan. One of the biggest criticisms came about Winnie's death. While badly injured she had surgery and during all this time she wasn't placed in the Intensive Care Unit or rigged to any medical electronics to monitor her poor progress. She merely woke up and died in the morning without any nurses or medical alarms. Fans joked she was placed in the worst hospital for medical care. |
