“I am absolutely devastated. First Nancy Frangione of #AnotherWorld and now the legend that is #DavidJacobs. Anyone who knows me knows that #KnotsLanding is a show I hold so dear and near to my heart. And to say that Jacobs’s incomparable writing formula and skill was one of the foundations of why I love writing so much would be an absolute understatement. These two passings now leave a huge hole in the serialized industry of broadcast. May these two icons rest in peace,” a fan wrote.
