No Julia’s Theme for You

The music did not well up on your final scene. No one cried. Not even you. But your character had faced hardships, trials, love triangles, blindness, amnesia, baby-switching. You even had an evil twin at one time.

But no, as your character hopped into a yellow cab, to leave the city, there was no special theme music to accompany your character’s departure. No one, not even the supporting characters waved goodbye or lamented your leaving.

It was you, on your own. Fired from the soap opera. No severance package. Just a summarily depressing ending to your story line.

Best of luck, no one said as the camera manage a perfunctory but wide angled shot of your cab wedging into traffic.
