Message: <blockquote data-quote="JROG" data-source="post: 74744" data-attributes="member: 43">I really, really hope it's not dementia. We've just had that, in a major way, by the same producer and I'm tired of older, legendary characters being disposed of via such illness. It's ageist and it's basically done so they can be written out (because that's always what it leads to) without causing too much of an uproar. Ugh. I'm hoping it's some bad reaction to medication or she's a drunk or whatever. Rita's presence is comforting, a link to the glorious past, and as far as we know, the actress is still capable and willing. I still miss Emily. I really don't want to see Rita end that way and off the show.</blockquote>
