- I just saw a bit of the Thanksgiving show on Picket Fences (rebroadcast
- 1/1/93). I loved the plot twist they had for Richard Kiley's father/
- grandfather character and the young woman who came with him. (She's not
- a money grabbing floozie, she has Cystic Fibrosis, and a very different
- outlook on life that goes with it)
-
- Were there any further appearances of these two in later episodes?
- I hope so. I'll keep watching, but I appreciate any filling in...
-
- BTW, they were a bit heavy handed about how she was 26 and the average
- life expectancy for CF is now about 29, like she had exactly 3 years to
- live, and that was it, end of story. But it was great just to see a
- character with CF, especially an adult.
-
- Thanks!
- PDB.
