I missed this thread before and It's actually been years since I watched Casualty - but I caught last night's episode quite by chance.
I can't speak for what has gone before, but they seem to be getting to grips with the nitty gritty of what caring for a person with dementia entails - including financially, challenging behaviour - and the impact it has on those who are trying to juggle care alongside full-time employment.
I found it particularly interesting as the character with dementia (Duffy) is still of working age, as is her partner - and that reflects what my situation was.
It also looks like they are going to acknowledge the risk, and often reality, of carer breakdown.
Not easy viewing for many, I know, but I think I am at a stage now where I can follow the storyline going forward without becoming overwhelmed.
Hopefully, it will go some way to informing people about the difficulties involved - and what help is out there.
