Fans tuned into the season 2 premiere of “Kevin Can Wait” on Monday night knowing that Kevin James’ former TV wife Leah Remini would be joining the show, but it looks like James’ and Remini’s reunion didn’t go over well with some.
In June, CBS President Kelly Kahl said killing off Erinn Hayes' character Donna Gable would be “treated with dignity and respect, something that will have taken place in the past.” Instead, viewers received no explanation of her demise and learned she passed nearly a year earlier in the first episode.
Fans were quick to turn to Twitter to express their outrage.
Wow they just kill her of like it’s nothing #KevinCanWait pic.twitter.com/vwvdPzTIFj
