We all know he died but how they never really say much about it my guess he died on the line of duty .
Also how many years do you think it been since he died because her step son is now getting divorced by Tara
I really felt this was not great at all and lacks what the movies had I don't like the doctor and I can't stand his son .
I am glade that ABIGAIL IS BACKKKK!!! maybe that will help the show some just have to wait and see .

I thought that Abigail was good now and instead it looks like she back to her old ways.I also hope that Cassie does not say yes to the proposal I mean sure it been awhile since Jake was killed but still we really don't need to see another repeat of the movies .
Also the son doctor I wish that would get rid of him I mean he arrogant little punk and to be honest when he on the show I find it very hard to watch that god for dvd-r straightforward button .
For me this show is much better as a movies than a tv series with Chris Potter who was also the ex producer along with Catherine the show lost it's real magic and charm maybe Abigail can finally bring that back .I notice she doing two episode this week and next week .
Also I wondering how many episode they made for season 1 .
And finally as for the doctor well again a character that I don't really enjoy watching .

The time frame is really weird, because the girl who is now 14 was 2-3 in the last movie. They don't say how long, but apparently at least a few years. And they imply he died in the line of duty.
The divorce is because he wants to be a cop.
Goodness is the only investment that never fails.
Cassie and the doctor had a debate over forgiveness in which she said that she has forgiven the person who killed Jake. Sounds like line of duty.
I don't know if they are getting divorced -- the first episode shows them getting separated & Tara provides some hint that it might not be final. This doesn't really factor into the time issue.
I'm unsure what the series "lacks" as compared to the movies except for Jake, especially once Cassie and Jake got married & not much changed there.
It isn't totally clear how long ago he died, but it seems on balance not to be that long ago. For into, the memorial was not for the 10th anniversary of his death or something. Also, reference to the new police chief being appointed suggests he wasn't appointed that long ago. Cassie also was told it is "time" to move on -- it doesn't seem he died five or so years ago.
The only suggestion much time passed is that Cassie has a teenage daughter now. That really artificially forces them to cover more time. Nothing else really appears to suggest ten years passed. Some effort is made to make her stepdaughter somewhat older and established, but the actress' youthful looks hinders even that.

It doesn't spell it out, but he was killed in the line of duty. A lot of hints to that in the pilot, plus when Brandon shows up wearing the uniform and they argue about him being a cop, Laurie says that it's too dangerous - he points out that they live in Middleton and she said something like, "Tell that to dad!" The conversation froze on that point for a minute, so something happened to him while on duty.
shareJust because he died in Middletown doesn't mean he was killed by someone who lived there. It could have been someone on the run just passing through the town.
I only saw the first movie; I may have seen the second, but I'm not sure. But I like the series. I like James Denton and am happy with him possibly ending up with Cassie.

I believe at some point Laurie had mentioned that it's been a year-and-a-half since Dad died.
shareI don't recall the comment but I get that general vibe including Derek being appointed not that long ago (from a conversation between Derek/Martha).
shareI don't believe they've ever said how long it's been.
