You know, in real life if you are rushing your kids
to the emergency room every other week, somebody at
the hospital would eventually call the police. Child
welfare services would get involved. The children
would be placed in protective custody and the
parents would be investigated thoroughly. The
children would be interviewed in private. They'd be
handed dolls and asked to show where the bad man
touched them.
I'd say the Newman family and the Abbott family have
both surpassed what anyone could consider a
reasonable number of trips to the emergency room
with their children. They practically live there.
The kids are falling through the ice, getting into
car accidents, getting hit over the head with
bricks, falling into pools, falling off swings and
having allergic reactions every other Tuesday.
Contrary to what you might think, being comatose is
not a default state of consciousness. It's not even
terribly common. Millions of people go through their
entire lives without ever once going into a coma.
Hard to believe, I know, considering about two
thirds of the Genoa City population has at one time
or another been in a coma. There have been more
comatose patients in Genoa City than there have been
patients with the common cold.
If Summer suffers from brain damage, how will they
be able to tell? All she does is color. Will she
lose her ability to color? God forbid. They might
have to start interacting with her instead of
sending her up to her room to color all day. It's
not like she was ever going to be a genius anyway
considering who her parents are. Heck she's probably
faking this whole thing. She never gets this much
attention when she's awake. Maybe she just got tired
of coloring all the time.
Get a load of Nick, Sharon and Billy all running to
the hospital chapel to pray. Jesus must have been
rolling his eyes. Why the hell was Billy so damn
broken up over Katherine anyway? He barely knew the
woman for the bulk of his life, and she was his
mother's arch nemesis. He thought she was his
grandmother for about three years but rarely saw her
in all that time, and wasn't exactly stricken with
grief to learn they weren't actually related. All of
a sudden he's acting like he can't live without her.
Meanwhile he's got a baby out there somewhere and he
acts like he could care less. Delia is like one of
his many expensive toys; he enjoys playing with her
when he remembers she exists but the rest of the
time he's too busy chasing skirts.
It's a wonder Katherine lived after all the
hullabaloo. She was surrounded by idiots in her home
trying to get her to dance like a monkey. There was
Neil telling her to lift her arm and there was
Murphy telling her to slow down and there was Billy
running around like a chicken. Worst of all, Mac
seemed to think she's some kind of medic now, with a
blood pressure cuff in her backpack. You'd think
she'd know you don't use those things OVER someone's
sleeve. That's like lesson number one in taking
blood pressure. They finally got the woman to the
hospital only to have her treated by Olivia of all
people. She was almost better off with Mac when you
think of all the people Olivia has killed. How
Katherine has lived to be her age in this town I'll
never know.
Why exactly are Billy and Mac sneaking around to be
together? Billy and Chloe have already mutually
agreed their marriage is over and Mac and Raul have
officially ended their engagement. I think even
people on other planets know by now that Mac and
Billy are still hung up on one another; what's the
point of all the secrecy?
