…when Rafe first got kidnapped. Something about him not having any because they were burned off? I don’t remember the details.
if, because they’ve sent Rafe away now, we won’t be seeing any more of him. I wouldn’t mind if they would show us where he is and how he’s coping with trying to regain his memory. That, in itself, could be an interesting story.
I’ve always been fascinated with amnesia (I know he doesn’t have it but it’s the same thing as having it) and what people must feel not being able to remember. Heck, it frustrates me when I can’t remember where I put my glasses.
I know it’s not the same thing but I went to a bible study in the late 90’s with a couple and the wife had alzheimers. Every week she’d ask what your name was and maybe comment on what you were wearing. My last name at the time was Gilson and her’s was Gibson so I always got the comment about our last names being one letter different. Several times before each study started she’d ask everyone their names then we’d sit at a table and she’d go around the table asking and writing them down. She’d then laugh and tell us "in 10 minutes I won’t remember who you are anyway". I felt it must be awful during those lucid moments to know that you’d soon forget. Even worse was when she wouldn’t remember her grandkids. I think amnesa is worse in some ways because you’re always lucid but can’t remember things you know you should and with alzheimers in those moments you know you’re eventually going to forget and not know which time of remembering will be the last and you’ll loose the memories forever. I often wonder if once you forget are you then aware or that you’ve forgotten or just in your own world where everything frightens you.
What really amazes me with amnesia or at least the way it’s portrayed on TV and movies you still remember how to read, write and talk. I do know people that have had short term memory loss where they forget events surrounding a certain incident.
I think he’s going to have some sort of déjà vu every time he looks at that key, and eventually bits and pieces of his memories will surface, but I agree, I would like to see that, too. I know I read GG’s tweet about R2 not being around after May sweeps, but I would like to see Rafe’s progression while it is happening to him. They just had better make this one fantastic conclusion after all this torture we’ve had to go through with this story line, which, IMHO, should include a little pay-back for the DiMeras as well. Yeah, sure, Patti … keep on wishin’ in one hand and, well, you know the rest.
Stefano stashed the original R down where he has Anna stashed. They will start talking, Anna will commiserate about a little girl she kidnapped and has so much remorse about the kidnapping but that this big powerful family in essence made her do it, and Anna will help Rafe regain his memory…Rafe will remember the jail escape with Shane, finding Anna, trying to get her to remember in the hospital bed, and put 2+2 together…this could take some time, but it could work.
