Mel Silver is no longer a regular cast member as she was thrown off a building and killed at the end of the last series.

I've updated the article accordingly. UkPaolo 19:42, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Desperately need HELP!

I'm trying to type up seperate articles for all of the Cold Case members. I've started off with Mel Silver, but can't 'make' a side box with all of her personal details. Someone please clear my mess because I'm not very good at posting pictures up on Wikipedia...—Preceding unsigned comment added by Sutekh the Destroyer (talk • contribs)

What makes each character notable enough to warrant their own individual articles? WindsorFan 20:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia = clever

From Andrew Billen's "Last Night's TV" column in The Times today:

Researching this business of Boyd's son in Waking the Dead, I came across a new word. When a pilot for the series was made in 2000, Boyd was a married man with a baby. When it came back as a series he was single with a missing son. This is an example of "retconning", the changing of previously established facts in a work of serial fiction most common, says Wikipedia, in comic books. The other word for it would be cheating.

In other words, a newspaper used this article for research. Bradley0110 (talk) 18:14, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The journalist is incorrect, in the pilot, Boyd took a baby he had in the car to a scene of crime and left it with a female constable. A woman then collected the boy. But it was not his son and the woman was not his wife; the baby was his nephew and the woman was his sister. They did not appear in WTD again.
