* CharacterOutlivesActor: Linda's original actor, Johanna Sällström, tragically died when she was only 33 by suicide. This lead into quite alot of confusion on the set, as directors and writers had already prepared to make an entire season focusing on Linda. However, they found a new actress for season 3, which fits the fact that Linda is older during that time. The canon excuse they made for why Linda didn't appear in season 2? "She was on vacation"...
