While the decision to kill Jeremy off wasn't an easy one, Melvoin says, We felt the time had come to do this - the show has been on for five seasons and never has there been a casualty of a close cast member. The loss also reopens old wounds for Denise's closest friend, Claudia Joy (Kim Delaney), who sees visions of her oldest daughter, Amanda (Kim Allen, reprising her role), who died en route to college at the end of Season 1.
