And the writer seems talented, so maybe he himself has gleaned sth. I can't imagine where you would begin coming to our illness as a writer who has no experience of it personally, would be hard to absorb all that has gone on, so I don't want to be too hard on him, this is a daytime soap after all and mostly should be taken with a pinch of salt. Be interested to know what you think if you watch it. No, I don't recall that episode of the 'Golden Girls', but I remember it was clever comedy, had no idea writer was ill.nmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477643084619789093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745858.post-31169983665610116692012-07-12T21:15:34.628+01:002012-07-12T21:15:34.628+01:00Sounds interesting!
