I recall reading comments on Jump The Shark on this before the site closed.The main crux I can remember from the comments was Bilborough's death - as much as the actor wanted to leave a la Patrick Duffy (but at least managed to be successful and not have to crawl back), it was felt his departure weakened the show as Fitz didn't have a foe to clash with from then on. (Again, from those same Jump The Shark comments, it was felt Ricky Tomlinson's character was too weak)It's the same way  with Dallas - once Bobby got killed off before the shower affair, there was a comment I think from Paulsen or another Dallas producer I read that the JR character was weakened as he had no one to clash with as they were Cain and Abel.</blockquote>
