Members dragonflies Posted October 16, 2012 Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 Caroline will be starting to show the early signs of Alzheimer's. Peggy McCay didn't panic cause they told her they're not killing off Caroline. The plan is to take this slowly, acknowledging that there is hope and encouraging progress being made in the treatment of alzheimer's. This would being a different story and different outcome if it had been done five or ten years ago says McCay pic of Bo & Caroline and the caption says: "On October 30th, Caroline and son Bo, leave Salem for a dementia treatment center in California" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted October 16, 2012 Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 I can't stand Caroline these days tbh so this doesn't phase me. This is how Bo is leaving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted October 16, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 Glad I don't watch anymore, I can't watch this, my grandmother had dementia before she passed away and I know these writers won't do it justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 16, 2012 Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 Knowing DAYS, we'll find out Caroline's pre-Alzheimer's is, in fact, part of Stefano's latest scheme to destroy the Bradys and rule Salem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members London Posted October 16, 2012 Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 I feel you on this -- broke my heart to watch my grandmother struggle with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AmandainNC28655 Posted October 16, 2012 Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 Eric I would assume they would leave the door open if Peter Reckell decided to comeback or if they decided to recast the role of Bo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teplin Posted October 16, 2012 Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 So Bo leaves with Caroline, then ships her back to Salem on her own while he gallivants around the world or something? Or will he be "killed" off screen while he's traveling with her? Either way, I don't like it. I don't like this Alzheimer's story either -- and I've never had a problem with social-issue stories before. This one just feels too cruel. Yes, even crueler than an onscreen death.

Members Gray Bunny Posted October 16, 2012 Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 I had a feeling awhile ago that this was how they'd usher Bo off. It gives him an easy way to return, but what happens when Caroline comes home without Bo? Hmm. Guess they'll cross that bridge when they get to it.

Members Gray Bunny Posted October 16, 2012 Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 This is exactly why I've never had a problem with soaps NOT telling this kind of story. It's too morbid, especially since Peggy McCay herself isn't in the best of shape anymore (she's what, like 84?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted October 16, 2012 Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 I don't have an issue with this and actually think its an original way to write him out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CCCapwell Posted October 17, 2012 Members Share Posted October 17, 2012 I know I shouldn't say this.... they don't have to explain where Bo went, when Caroline comes back to Salem and someone asks where Bo is she can honestly say she doesn't know. oh how I miss "Santa Barbara" they would so write it that way. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted October 17, 2012 Members Share Posted October 17, 2012 I could honestly see them doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted October 17, 2012 Members Share Posted October 17, 2012 he is clearly leaving with her, there will be no hope, she will return without him as he goes on a quest to bring down the dimeras and dies at sea so hope can go get a ride on Daniel or Rafe.
