During the Christmas shooting storyline, Shona was struck by a bullet and was comatose. David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) kept holding onto hope she would wake up. Well, she did regain consciousness but she wasn’t the same. She ended up with partial amnesia, where one loses a portion of their memories rather than not remembering anything.

Moving In With Roy Cropper

After being discharged from a rehab center, she didn’t want to go live with a husband she has no memory of. However, she seemed to feel safe and comfortable around Roy, even though she doesn’t recall knowing him. David suggested that Roy invite Shona to move in and reluctantly, he agreed.

It is speculated that Roy is dismal about the prognosis because he knows that Shona probably will never fully recover. He also has cared for a sick loved one before when his wife was diagnosed with cancer. He is aware of the toll that Shona’s condition is having on David.

Right away, it became clear that memory wasn’t Shona’s only issue. She received a bad burn injury taking food out of the oven with her bare hands. So, she needs to have some level of supervision and one to teach her basic life skills. She also needed someone to help her track medication and keep her busy with daily tasks. It’s a full-time job.

There is also dealing with Shona feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. The more David tries to “trigger” her memories, the more pressure it puts on her. In some cases, it can actually have the opposite of its intended effect.
