Odd to me that Olivia, with her training in psychology and her diagnostic skills just didn't pick up on her own brothers manic depressive manifestations... there they were, sticking out like a fish in a tree... the debts, the financial madness, the insane borrowing without a prayer of paying it back, even borrowing from Mum and Dad and the brother, among so many others, the subdued wife, the nervous girls, the rented property , the maxed out credit cards, the bills the bills the bills....
You'd think she would be onto this...
Even odder, Gerard chooses as an extramarital romp a woman who is in the severest depression.. she 's in a bad defacto connection, she leaves this with her children, she collapses and howls and screams in a carpark when she is fired, she collapses again in front of Jocelyn Frost when she cannot cope with her days at another job, she is frightened , she is perpetually angry, she makes outrageous demands on him. You'd think with Gerards long experience of a 'depressed wife' that he would have run a mile from it..
But not a bit of it. he eagerly embraces it....
