Jeff Davis is the one who made the decision to kill her off while leaving the door for male actors such as Charlie, Daniel and Colton open. I'm not saying it was outwardly sexist but it's definitely ingrained in him. Not to mention that in her goodbye video, she was crying, hardly composed. Proof she didn't ask for Allison's death. Ouch, that's harsh, calling him sexist.

As a fellow writer (albeit amateur), I actually thought that killing her character was powerful for the story. I really don't see it as sexist, at all. The other characters were more minor (other than Derek), and wouldn't have made the same impact. They also could have asked for the opportunity to return to be left open. Derek's death could have been powerful, but they had already killed Allison....and probably didn't want to do something like that again, so soon. Those are jsut guesses, though.

What I DO know is that Reed said she personally didn't want Allison to return from the dead, because it would devalue the importance of her death. Clearly she doesn't feel it was sexist at all.

O.O
