Additional Comments: Ummm, wouldn't it make sense that if Marge's friend saw Victor's news story in the paper that he would also see a big story in the paper about Katherine's death - with photos of her?!  Which would then lead to a conversation with Marge about her look-a-like?  Guess we're just not supposed to think about these 'small' details to move the SL forward.....

Like all you'all I had the same thought.  Once again the writers missed a big one!  "Come on Y&R writers you can do better than that!"  And it took so long for Murphy to notice the ring I thought they'ed missed that one too.

I thought the same thing. You know she would have made headlines with pictures and all, but this is a soap so we're supposed the just go along with  it. But, you and I know that her death would be bigger news than Victor's arrest.

Katharine has to be a local celebrity. Just think of all her charity work, etc. It's inconceivable to me that there's not going to be a lengthy article in the paper about the death of this fine & philanthropic local resident - complete with picture(s). And that Murphy doesn't see it and comment at the resemblance between her and 'Marge'.  How completely unlikely is that?

  • Faysie, seems like it would be very unlikely since we see that Murphy does read the paper....Plus, as someone else pointed out below, I'm sure it would be on the television news as well, but, oh well...-bren

    I had been thinking that also that since Katherine was such a well-known billionaire business woman her picture would have been in the paper. Although I know more than one person who don't read the newspapers. It seems strange to me but there are those who don't. But some plan on their news from TV. I would think Katherine would have been on the news as well.

  • ITA. I'm sure that IRL the death of such a respected and noteable local resident would have received considerable newspaper and TV coverage. /faysie
  • Exactly, couldn't you see the paper if Trump or Bill Gates died. BIG news!!
