Days of Our Lives decided to be 'daring'.
Nah, it's not the Will and Sonny gay thing. They've been handling that story line a if it were pure poison.
No. It's having an 85 year old actress and center of a huge raucous family seemingly have the first symptoms of Alzheimers disease.
Soaps really DO address issues that aren't brought up and usually can't be handled on the tee-vee machine unless they can develop it over months, so am curious as to how they are going to handle the topic.
I don't recall this topic being addressed before on a Soap.
I 'think' it was a week ago when she mixed up the names of her sons the first time and I thought... 'uh-oh, they're gonna send Gramma Brady to La-la land.'
Contrary to the usual mode, they accelerated the story line, and have the poor woman losing what is left of her mind.
Now, I think people watch these things for some sort of comfort, because the lives they show are more miserable than theirs. But I am curious as to how they will deal with the issue and make it valuable to people watching who have similar cares and sorrow, and make concrete suggestions as to how to handle it all.
That would be the good thing. Soaps can be sociologically beneficial.
As far as I can tell, The Bold and the Beautiful is back to Stefanie having a cancer relapse, but that piece of garbage is wash rinse repeat ad nauseum.

But in they end, they serve a purpose.
