I've been following the romanticized portrayal of Jesse as he moves into full blown AIDS on ABC's Life goes On. Two questions (one remark, one question ) for Screen-L folks: Has anyone else noticed the romanticized, fairy-tale representation of Jesse's disease. He decides to leave the hospital, everyone supports him and helps him switch from AZT to a macrobiotic diet. he gets better. And let's not forget that this is an 18 year old guy who contract HIV at age 16 during his first sexual encounter. He is in love with Becca, the shows young heroine, and she with he. It is a pure love, sensual but without sex. Yes, they struggle over this but ultimately their virtue beates their libido, helped by the disease. Is AIDS being misused to promote virtuous love among teenagers.?? Are real people suffering from AIDS and living with HIV and AIDS being mistreated by this fairytale?? I applaud the sho for representing Jesse living, accepted, in a community such as Glenview, IL with HIV for 2 years but I can't help wondering. And as I wonder, I have noticed that Life Goes On has been replaced in its time slot by America's Funiest Home Videos. Doe any one know if Life Goes on Has been discontinued? Has it been moved to another time slot? The advertising promised four episodes of Jesse with full-blown AIDS, I've only seen three and I'm wondering what happened.... Ironically, after the last episode that aired, ABC premiered its new magazine, DAY ONE, which had a story about a hospital patient who attacked a nurse with a syringe of his HIV infected blood. AIDS as a deadly weapon back to back with AIDS: The Love Story. Mere coincidence?? I think not. Ilene Goldman Northwestern
