Newsarama asked Didio some fan questions about Steph, and Didio gave an unusually long answer, discussed at length below: Yet again, no one is willing to take credit for the decision to kill Steph off. Horrocks, Simone, Willingham, and Didio have all said either they objected or were told by "others" that the death was happening. Seriously, people, SOMEONE made that decision, and SOMEONE chose to push it through. Gabrich hasn't said anything about the decision one way or another to this date. And Didio conflicts with Willingham's claim, made about the same time, that Willingham wanted to make her Robin.
