You would think that if Lily was fighting off an infection, the
doctor/staff wouldn't want a half dozen people crowded into her room
with everyone smooching germs all over her.

Yup. Or that when Lily's fever broke that she'd be chipper, joyous,
beaming, made up, and planning a surrogacy. Lily + Cane = LANE. LANE
= LAME

It cracks me up that they send out a "Lily is in the hospital everybody rush
there" in the first place.

I could probably find it amusing if I weren't still livid that Jill --
who couldn't make it to the hospital even ONCE for Billy's sake when
Colleen was definitely on her death bed -- had to dash over for Cane's
sake, shouting "where else would I be when my son needs me" just
because Lily happened to be in the hospital, something that's going to
happen quite regularly for someone fighting a long battle against
cancer. I'm so disgusted.

Even Katherine didn't make it to the hospital for Billy's sake when
Colleen was hospitalized. She went because her beloved friend Nikki
needed her support.

So much for the BS about how "we're all family."

I pretend a lot. I can't get into blaming the characters for writerly
stupidity and producerly cheapitude. I tell myself everyone who needed
to be at the hospital was really there. I pretend a lot. I pretend a
lot.

When my family member had cancer we were in the waiting room en masse.

Jill wasn't even nailing anyone at the time.

Hmm. Interesting. Perhaps a new way of looking at it. Thanks RH.

When my beloved Aunt Annie was in the hospital a couple years ago
(broken hip), she didn't want anyone visiting. I sent her a lovely
bouquet of flowers. She's a very proud woman.

Yes, those were glaring insults and inconsistencies IMO too.

It started with John's funeralette. And I'm not talking about Jack's
telling Gloria the wrong time. Not even counting the Fishers, it was
the teeny-tiniest soap funeral for a major character I'd ever seen.

I'm not saying family members wouldn't be in the waiting room for a
cancer patient. Most of us would be there for both situations. But,
if you were going to be there for only one, as Jill was, would it be
when the person with the long-term illness checks into the hospital
with a fever or when there's an unexpected trauma in which the patient
isn't breathing on arrival? Would it depend on which "son" you liked
better?

Yeah, it sucked . . . other than the Gloria part. : ) They always say
they just want "immediate family" present. I don't expect them to do
full-cast scenes, though an exception should have been made for a long-
timer like John.

But that's what throwaway lines are for . . . to explain someone's
absence. How hard would it have been for someone to mention that Jill
had been there half the night consoling Billy and would check in
later. Done. I have to assume that, if her presence isn't mentioned
or an explanation for her absence isn't given, then she didn't make
the effort.

Jill was also notably absent from Colleen's funeral because Jill was
going to "cover" for Neil . . . as if Neil's presence at Colleen's
funeral could possibly be more important than Jill's. Jill was a damn
Abbott once upon a time. If not for her own son's sake, then perhaps
for John's sake, or even Brad's sake, you'd think she would have found
a way. But, whatever, there was at least a statement explaining
Jill's absence.
