Passing of a Soap Character
While I absolutely didn't have the heart to watch the clip where Dr Reid Oliver was dying, I did watch the aftermath of his death after he declared that he wanted to donate his heart to another dying patient, who was his direct competition for the Chief of Hospital but who he became close to as a friend. It was absolutely heartbreaking and ironic because he was driving to get the heart for the heart transplant but instead, he got into an accident where his injuries were so extensive that doctors declared that he won't survive.
I cried coz this was a character many had learnt to love though at first, when he first came into the town few months back as a new character in town, nobody really liked him. He wasn't foul mouthed but he had a 'way' with words where others would think he was being ruthless though in his context, he was just telling things as they were.
I talked about him also in an earlier post and I wasn't the only one who simply loved this character and he was like a fresh breath of air for the soap drama which was facing a declining number of viewership after many many years being on television.
It was a great loss. An absolutely great loss. No doubt the soap drama was going to say its goodbye for good but I was just disappointed that he just had to die. The writers made him die an honorable death by turning him into an organ donor, where he initially joked on his death bed by saying who knew he actually had a heart, judging by his numerous insensitive comments towards other people.
Maybe if I have a little bit more courage, I would watch the scene where he was on his death bed and his loved one refused to accept the fact that he was dying. Nevertheless, he managed to convince his loved one to help him sign the organ donation letter so that his heart could be donated. It was very heroic of him.
Goodbye Dr Reid Oliver. You will always be missed. You are a true hero. Thank you Eric Scheffer for capturing our hearts as Dr Reid Oliver. You are indeed a talented actor.
