Ever since Joes former wife Francine debuted earlier in the season, weve known that she was terminally ill. As of last week, she was literally on deaths door as Joe, Iris and Wally seemingly said their final words to her. But, from what we were led to believe, she was still just about alive. Well, thats not the case now. With no real mention of it, Fast Lane just casually saw it dropped in that Francine is no longer of this world. Sure, she was a minor supporting character, but you wouldve still thought that shed have been given an on-screen death and one final hard-hitting moment for the Wests.
