Season Finale Redux: DROP DEAD DIVA Drops a Doozy of a Bombshell!
After its shocking cliffhanger last season, it is hard to imagine that DROP DEAD DIVA could pull off another whopping surprise; yet it did again spectacularly. In last night’s fourth season finale, DROP DEAD DIVA brought back a character thought long gone and forgotten: Jane Bingham (Brooke Elliott). Not the Jane we all know and love — the young vivacious model Deb (Brooke D’Orsay) who inherited Jane’s body in the pilot episode of the series — but rather the Jane who jumped in front a bullet to save her boss, Parker’s life, thereby sacrificing her own and providing a body in need of soul which Deb just landed in after hitting the “return” button on her way to heaven. For the past four seasons, we all thought that the original Jane was just simply gone, never to return. But tonight, “original” Jane found a way back. Unfortunately, it did not play out as expected.
