Love or hate Marissa, it was clear when the character was killed off the ratings started to tank and the show couldn’t survive this big change. It tried but failed.
On Dawson’s Creek, the ratings tanked when the show turned into Joey’s Creek. Love or hate Dawson, the show lost all its quality and direction post-season 2. In fact, it turned into a completely different show called Joey’s Creek. The best actor on the show (Michelle) couldn’t make Katie look even worse so Michelle was tossed in the closest.
Bottom line is killing off a main character or trying to make a switch and replace a main character with another (while ignoring all the quality you once had) is never a formula that is typically going to work.
