marina to December 5, 2017 Share December 5, 2017 On 11/26/2017 at 3:37 PM, Toomuchsoap said: That was the experience with both my mother and father. The two of them were virtually incapable of coherent conversations and this happened pretty early on. My father died right at 5 years following the diagnosis of dementia, and, my mother at about six years. Before my mother's death, she was hospitalized and the description of what was happening and why, in a nutshell, is that long after the cognitive deficiencies begin to destroy the ability to maintain normal activity and interaction, the brain as a functioning organ becomes unable to sustain normal bodily functions, including the autonomic systems that regulate respiration and circulation. If the writers are planning to create even a smidgen of realism with this storyline, Dina will very soon have to have constant companion-caretakers who will be directing and handling all her activities on a round-the-clock basis or else she'll be eloping from the Abbott estate and burning down TOTT (which might be a positive development, especially if Victor is at the vortex), or some other more mundane common occurrence with dementia-stricken folks, such as wandering out of the house unable to find her way back, or grabbing the car keys and driving to lord knows where and not being able find her way back. But sooner than Jack realizes, he will no longer be able to have any real discussion with her. She just won't be able to communicate in any meaningful way and she will have virtually no ability to grasp what is happening or even who the people in her orbit are, including family members. Oh God. This is what I have to look forward to with my mom? *cries* 3 Link to comment

She was the one that was initially skittish about it. Ashley has always been his boss from a technical standpoint, though I'm sure he's got an IT boss above his pay grade, but maybe not. Surely Ravi isn't the sole IT professional working there. Regardless of that, their thing existed before she took over the reins as COO in Jack's absence and virtually everyone in the company in addition to the town knew about them. This isn't new and they've been more or less discrete about it. This didn't start out by a person in power using an hierarchal imbalance to take advantage of a subordinate much younger and vulnerable. To upend this at this point would be a mistake IMO. This is NOT what exists in situations like the Weinsteins or the Pivens of the world. I know that Ravi mouthed something to the effect that it was "time to move on" just moments before he got Ashley's text to meet up at the GCAC, but "moving on" was not something that Ravi wanted to do. It was in resignation that Ashley was just distancing herself from him, but she only did that at Thanksgiving because she felt awkward and protective of her mother's condition and trying to maintain their privacy. What she did was truly hamfisted (shame on you, Mal, 'cause Ashley has way more class than that). If he succumbs to her considerable charms, so to speak, it won't because he'll feel he's there under duress to, er.. perform or else. It'll be because he's smitten with her. Always has been and the imbalance and age difference have made that awkward for her earlier, but it's always existed. We'll have to see what will happen. Perhaps he'll tell her that he believes they need to stop because she's now in a position of power within the company that other employees could challenge with claims of improper partiality and compensatory rewards. I truly Mal doesn't trash both of these characters by having her suddenly turn barracuda and he become the aggrieved and psychologically and emotionally "scarred" enough to drag her and the company through another round of Juliet & The Harassment allegations. I couldn't agree more. 4 Link to comment

DivaT December 5, 2017 Share December 5, 2017 (edited) When Phyllis threw herself over the bed at the GCAC to cry desperate tears because she couldn't leave Jack for Billy, I knew then that they'd given this woman a story better suited for her daughter. Phyllis, while a giggly obsessed clown with Nick, was never a whining do nothing. She's a schemer. If she wanted to leave Jack for Billy, she would have done so. She wouldn't have pined.

She spent 3 weeks in the hospital which accelerated things and right now I'm sitting in our living room with her sleeping in a hospital bed. We're in the process of getting her placed (we're in a program that provides us with extra supports for 50 days to facilitate this) but yes, some days I think - yeah, we can do this, her confusion is clearing, she's getting more mobile. Then I remember that she has no understanding of what is going on around her, even right after I explain it, and that sometimes she doesn't even remember who we are. The PSWs coming in all tell me how sweet and funny my mom is, which in a way makes it worse. She sometimes gets these moments of recognition when she realizes just how bad it is, just like we're seeing Dina do, but it never lasts. I've been screaming at Jack to get some PSWs in at least to give him a break, but does he listen to me? Edited December 5, 2017 by marina to 7 Link to comment

This brings up a good question: What is Mal's plan? He has been openly vocal about Philly's value to him: they are a romcom master class; he has shown reels of their romcom mastery to execs at CBS. Gina is apparently the queen of physical comedy and she can only play this talent off -- inexplicably -- the dour Jason Thompson. Mal wants more and more comedy on the show. So are Philly going to be comedic relief with sexay times as the continuing theme? Because if he gives them some heavy drama -- which in a soap constitutes story -- what then? How can they be the romcom masters? Won't they just be another heavy -- predictable -- soap couple? And really? This is what GT and JT want?

But hey Ash he should do his job right?) And how dare Jack go after B&S, entirely legally -- Jabot's COMPETITOR who was DIRECTLY GOING AFTER JABOT PRODUCTS AND SQUATTING IN JABOT'S LAB? And this was before Billy's corporate espionage (including taking advantage of Ashley's dementia-stricken mother) AGAINST JABOT. She is all I wuv you Biwwy you are so cute why aren't you and Phyllis getting married you widdle scamp? Go take the Jabot jet AGAIN to fuck your sister in the law in the air as much you can. Please. Have fun. But be sure to be on my side when I push Jack out of the job he has held for decades? The job for which he is actually qualified and I am not (as I am a chemist actually). And if I have to hear Ashley and Billy remind Jack what a disappointment he was to John, how he will NEVER measure up, how he caused his heart attack and premature DEATH oh my god.... I just can't. No wonder Jack hit Ashley below the belt. Really. I just can't with this shit any more. sorry for all the screaming. I am screaming (internally).

These two are more or less infantile at this point, not charming. Now if they wanted to do an early onset dementia story they should have had Philly somehow contract genital brain parasites and had them be found locked together like dogs. Of course, Jack would have to nursemaid them both Or accidentally drown them while bathing them. The parasites would be from fucking on Kitchen counters after Phyl cut up turkey on it. It could happen! I think I heard an urban legend about that.... 13 Link to comment
