Additional Comments: The minute he found out Donna had Erik's medical POA (is that it?), he can call for a family meeting and discuss Erik's condition. I'm ok with that. But come on, he was just about *ordering* Donna today to sign the papers to end his life, and he just about had her convinced to do it. The other kids got it and walked out the minute Donna said she will not sign. That's the way it should be, but here is Ridge, "talking" to Donna in private a bit more. His behavior makes me really wonder, if maybe he has something to hide, or if he really is that obnoxious. And, I will not for the life of me figure out, why Donna did not just walk out once she said "NO".

Message:
Ridge is being very heavy-handed because he's convinced it's what Ear Wax wants. Obviously he should have had this discussion with the others first and then followed established legal and medical procedure assuming everyone agreed to end Ear Wax's life. But Donutella is not without some responsibility either. Why Donut didn't simply tell the Kidz she'd consider Ridge's request after she had the chance to speak with the doctors personally is beyond me. Who just turns around and signs away their spouse's life like she was about to do? And based solely on the word of Dr. Bridgidiot -- WTH? Especially when Donut has the resources to fly in the world's best experts for a second opinion -- what an idiot. Lucky thing for Ear Wax that Owen showed up when he did.

Message: This is the same pompous jackass we've known all these years! He thinks he's the boss of everybody (as my kids used to say)! He's a bully! I don't see anything wrong with Donna asking to give him more time. I have read of many cases where people woke up from a coma and were fine, after people had been told they would be a vegetable.
