I understand the anxiety parents can feel for their unborn child,but really, how bad can this genetic disease be? It apparently, didn't affect Jim until he was almost a senior citizen and hasn't affected Steve, a man in his late thirties or early forties. There are a lot of issues they should be more worried about considering Michelle's age like an increased chance of Down's syndrome, that would require making decisions right away.
ReplyDeleteSteve needs to be tested because the mothers have a right to know the truth but other than that, what would it change?
Maricha,I think that as serious as the illness is,it's a contrived ploy for Michelle to find out about Steve's and Leanne's one night stand and olay the 'victim' again.
ReplyDeleteAs in the case with Hope's cancer,once it hits the fan,the illness will be forgotten.
Good on Tim for giving Eileen an interview after she expected to waltz into Streetcars when she wanted.
I must say that Alan (Tyronne) is looking great these days!
ReplyDeleteActually, MD is pretty bad but as I posted elsewhere, I think it is diagnosed when the person is a child. I hope the writers aren't getting MD confused with MS (multiple sclerosis).
ReplyDeleteI was a bit confused with the picture heading for the preview. Tyrone didn't even appear in tonights episodes.
