The L Wordreunion: Dana's death is the one thing Ilene Chaiken would change

It was a brutally emotional development, especially for Dana’s best friend and (sometimes) girlfriend Alice.

And then she dies."

And I’m like, “What?!”

JENNIFER BEALS:We were all devastated.

KATHERINE MOENNIG:That was dreadful.

LEISHA HAILEY:It was horrible.

We cried a lot.

Just knowing that day was coming was horrible.

ILENE CHAIKEN:I’ve often said in retrospect that it’s the one thing that I regret.

I mean, it was a good story.

I believe in the story.

I think we told it with great sensitivity and verisimilitude, but the audience never forgave me for it.

It’s just the one thing that I maybe would change if I could go back and change anything.
