BBC Eastenders' dementia storyline

I'm not going to judge, based on tonight's programme, but just hope they portray the actual facts...

Interestingly, I didn't know about the storyline before but I took one look at Sylvie and knew what was the matter with her - maybe I am more fine-tuned these days.

Somewhat ironic, that the company my dad spent most of his working life with, have decided to cover this.

Like Beate, I had no idea this was coming up....but I spotted within seconds last night that Sylvie had dementia related difficulties. Not sure what this says about my life at the moment!

What did people make of the programme so far? I felt it was too early to judge.....but it is likely that, being a soap, they will emphasise some dramatic aspects of the situation!
