It was the veteran star’s fourth husband who first shared news of her illness more than a year ago. Since then, he has spoken about the emotional toll of watching her slowly fade. Seeing the woman he loves go through this has been nothing short of “painful.”
The soap icon’s husband, Scott Brand, stepped away from his career to care for her around the clock as she faces the challenges of dementia. Not long ago, he posted a photo of the beloved English actress — one that quickly stirred a wave of mixed responses across social media.
In June 2023, Brand revealed that his wife had been diagnosed with dementia after they had sought answers for her increasing memory lapses. Doctors confirmed what the couple had feared — there would be no turning back.
