Some years ago, character actress (CA) was diagnosed with severe depression. It was so that she had to rest temporarily from her commitments. Depression seemed to be farthest from the time she began her career. CA was launched as a teenage entertainer and within a short time, she became part of one of the most successful love teams in the industry. However, her beginnings came with controversy. Her schoolmates could not believe that she was being passed off as a 16-year old, while they were all in their early twenties. Nonetheless, the public and her fans didn't care because CA evolved from being a sing-and-dance star to one serious enough to portray daring roles. Soon, the industry discovered she could really act. And in no time, CA started getting meaty roles in substantial movies and telenovelas.
But the circumstances in her family life contributed to her depression. When she got married, her earnest desire was to have a child as soon as possible. However, she and her husband had to wait really long for the conception, then when it became positive for the first time, it had to be extinguished because of a miscarriage. Months after she lost the baby, she was seen with two dolls. Some people speculated she has gone over the edge because she was treating the dolls like real babies. They had names, and she would bring them along wherever she was. Still, others sympathized with her and respected her choice of coping in that manner. A year later, CA got pregnant and gave birth. Everyone was happy because finally she and her husband's earnest desire was granted. Sadly, the baby boy lived only a few days and died after. CA tried to cope with the worst situation she could ever have. She rested and decided that their lives had to go on.
That was almost seven years ago. Fast forward to recent months, CA portrayed a major character in a hit telenovela, and critics and viewers noticed the depth in her portrayal. At the onset of the series, CA would always be on time for her tapings, and would send home-cooked meals to the set. The crew appreciated the professionalism of CA. But again, her friends began to fear for her, that CA might be showing signs of depression again.
A few weeks ago, word came out that her character would be killed in the series. This news surprised several people because the series was to last until the third quarter of this year. The reason for her having to bow out of her series was her becoming sickly of late, which CA confirmed later in media. What was unsaid was that CA had been having difficulty in her lines, and was taking three to four takes per scene. Lately, the crew noticed CA was tagging her doll along and talking to it every so often. CA would even sing lullabies to and change the diapers of the baby. This was the very pattern she showed when she had her first miscarriage.
At this point, CA needs understanding. Other than links to her past trauma, no one knows for sure what is triggering her bouts with her latest depression.
