I'm fairly certain we are headed toward a thoroughly thought-through and compelling story about the risk of suicide among veterinarians. How many lives will be saved, I do not know. It all depends on how many depressed veterinarians read Mary Worth every day.

Ed might prefer being alone to being stuck with the stressed and complaining Green Steven.
If Estelle is so concerned about Ed, why doesn’t she bring him lunch?
KitKat: Thank you for referring to Estelle by her proper name and not as "Stell". In an attempt to emulate Wilbur, there has been a frightening trend toward use of his made up nickname, and it must be stopped !!!
If Libby or Pierre cared anything at all about Estelle's happiness, they'd fake an illness so she'd take them in. But they might be afraid they'd get immediately triaged into to Farm in the Country cage.

@Steve, you’re welcome! I refuse to use that nickname. Instead of KM indulging in nickname creep, she could ask June to give Estelle a hairstyle from the current century, not the previous one.
After suffering through this storyline, I'm starting a support group called "Not One More Mary Worth Reader."
Sadly it’ll come too late to save Green Steven, who didn’t receive Estelle’s thoughtful link and will be driven to a tragic ketamine overdose by bad Yelp reviews. I’m looking forward to breaking out the dashing Astroturf blazer I wore at Aldo’s funeral.
Rather than sitting around "hoping" Ed checks into the resource Estelle left him on his voicemail (who even listens to a voicemail message these days?), she could go visit the hospital, bring him lunch, tap on his window, or SOMETHING to actually interact with the guy. Instead of "Stell", I think her nickname should be "Stall", since that's where this plot is headed,
I wouldn't hold my breath, Estelle, waiting to hear back from Ed. He's been way too busy to upgrade his cell and is still using the BlackBerry he bought 15 years ago. He's not concerned that it doesn't take photos. I mean, who has time to be running around in the forest taking photos of birds and hot babes, right? But the voicemail has been a problem lately. It only records about every fourth or fifth word of the caller's message. Here's yours:
"Ed, thanks… stop thinking… weeks ago… again… I understand… you’re busy… when you feel… or you need… Libby and Pierre… if you ever… I found… veterinary… not one more… you may want to check out."

If I were Ed, I might take offense at having an idiot like Estelle diagnosing me after only 2 dates in one year. If I were Ed and not in this comic strip, that is.
