On CBS® television, the two best day-to-day afternoon serial dramatic programs are available for everyone to enjoy and more importantly take that enjoyment a step ahead: talking about issues before they come to your house (or my house). I lost my favorite medical doctor in 1998 because of the disease call multiple sclerosis. Losing Dr. “G” was the first time I saw true boldness in a man who could have made excuses for things that did not show to me any disease at all. He is the first person I think about before criticizing someone about “fake crutches” or “hypochondria” without knowing what their *real* condition was. On the Young and the Restless®, Melody Thomas Scott, the matriarch of the Newman family has just been diagnosed with this killer disease – topical, well-played, and sadly still incurable as the actress Melody Scott does not have the disease yet her character Nikki Reed Newman is doing that which Dr. G did – hiding it from her loved ones and anyone.

On the Bold and the Beautiful®, Heather Tom is playing the role of Katie Logan-Spencer, a woman who after suffering from postpartum depression whose character now has a three-fold problem: 1) she has lost her sex drive, at least temporarily; 2) she is married to the highly sexed and driven William Spencer II who is most highly sexed and expects same from Katie and worst 3) she has a sister, Brooke Logan-Forrester-Forrester-Forrester who at 51 has lost her husband from a reason we have yet to learn to an Italian cooking school. Brooke, we have come to learn is the most attracted to one particular type of man – one with, as Brooke says herself, in a squeamish plot played by Katherine Kelly Lang a “stallion” male sex organ. Brooke has seen it and now she is shooting for her brother-in-law – unless she can restrain herself. Already Brooke is staying up nights reading a book called, appropriately STALLION. These are the types of family dynamics and sexual preferences on their own, if brought up in the abstract, become most uncomfortable to speak about. Laughing through it and talking about it is easier than talking about such proclivities straight up.

YR – Family Company Business Box Score.jpg

The family of Dashwood had long been settled in Sussex. Their estate was large, and their residence was at Norland Park, in the centre of their property, where, for many generations, they had lived in so respectable a manner as to engage the general good opinion of their surrounding acquaintance. The late owner of this estate was a single man, who lived to a very advanced age, and who for many years of his life, had a constant companion and housekeeper in his sister. But her death, which happened ten years before his own, produced a great alteration in his home; for to supply her loss, he invited and received into his house the family of his nephew Mr. Henry Dashwood, the legal inheritor of the Norland estate, and the person to whom he intended to bequeath it. In the society of his nephew and niece, and their children, the old Gentleman’s days were comfortably spent. His attachment to them all increased. The constant attention of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dashwood to his wishes, which proceeded not merely from interest, but from goodness of heart, gave him every degree of solid comfort which his age could receive; and the cheerfulness of the children added a relish to his existence.

By a former marriage, Mr. Henry Dashwood had one son: by his present lady, three daughters. The son, a steady respectable young man, was amply provided for by the fortune of his mother, which had been large, and half of which devolved on him on his coming of age. By his own marriage, likewise, which happened soon afterwards, he added to his wealth. To him therefore the succession to the Norland estate was not so really important as to his sisters; for their fortune, independent of what might arise to them from their father’s inheriting that property, could be but small. Their mother had nothing, and their father only seven thousand pounds in his own disposal; for the remaining moiety of his first wife’s fortune was also secured to her child, and he had only a life-interest in it.
