Let Mac stay alive dammit. As for a new AF LS, why not bring in the Dream Queen and say that she was the real reason for Heather killing her cousin and his wife and for running off with her daughter (admit it, we really need some more justification for her actions). Or better yet for all you die hard Alpha fans, have the Dream Queen go back to issue 13 and when Heather wakes up from her sleep she realizes that Mac's death was all just a bad dream (a la Dallas/J.R.).....jeez I think I just dated myself.
