IVIV p.43-45 'the rock and roll grapevine' believes in resurrection.

[Mark Kohut]

and knows Scott Oof is resurrected in Vineland in 14 fictional years
and that Coy was a replaceable musician, not one of the unique ones who always survive alive in many, many minds even decades after their death YET
he is rumored to be REALLY alive.....and Aunt Reet's pork rinds seem to glow?? and Beer resurrects itself enough to pay the rent.

And is this one reason The Big Valley is here in IV?
 Trivia
A morbid running gag was that every time one of the Barkley children fell in love or was married, the wife or beau (for Audra) would suffer a horrible end or death never to be mentioned again (with the exception of "Miranda" (Barbara Luna) who fell in love with Nick but who felt compelled to leave him to help her people in "Miranda".

A..and it looks like The Big Valley will also be resurrected soon:
Film columnist Patrick Goldstein reported in the Los Angeles Times in July, 2009 that filmmakers Daniel Adams and Kate Edelman-Johnson are producing a feature film version of The Big Valley with production to begin in April, 2010 in New Mexico and Michigan.[1]
