Sometimes those closest to a person suffering depression can't see what's under their noses, i think he's acting a great part and portraying it well. I know a person spent 3 years in a psych ward before their family ever knew there was a problem
It's hard to tell when someone is depressed unless they are in bed all day doing nothing. He's buying cars and racing all over the place, I think a smack on his botty would do him the world of good, he seems more confused than depressed.
In real life he has a mystery illness and is now being written out of the soap until they find out and cure what's the matter, just when he was in for the big part on New Year-
