[UPDATE] May 23rd - New Sentinel Article "Joya Collapse

Quote:
Joya Collapses, Rushed to Phuah Hospital
By JULIUS LOMAN
Popular singer Joya was rushed to Phuah Hospital late last night and immediately accepted into inpatient care. Reports indicate that Joya was at a performance of the critically panned "Absalom and Tavent." During the intermission, she fell into a faint and could not be revived. Her doctor says that she is lucid and in stable condition now, and should be released from the hospital by the end of the week.

"Joya has been pushing herself very hard lately," said her personal physician, Dr. Ian Copeland. "She was out enjoying an evening of theatre, and simply collapsed. We have her under supervision now, and expect she will be fine, provided she gives herself time to recover."

This medical emergency is only adding fuel to the burning speculation that Joya might be pregnant. "Let's face it, Joya cancelled all of her upcoming shows not long ago, so what does she have to get exhausted over?" said fan club president Naomi Woods. "Of course we all have suspicions about what's going on in her personal life, and we hope she knows she has our love and support, no matter what she's going through right now."

Hospital staff, speaking under condition of anonymity, have said that Roll for Damage singer Alejo Jackson arrived at the hospital shortly after Joya and was ushered up to her room immediately. "He looks awful," said one witness. "It's obvious to everybody here that he's very worried about her. He hasn't left her side for a single moment since he's been here."

Public reactions to Joya's collapse have been mixed. Rival singer Satine Noir stated it was an attention-getting ploy to get more press. Theatre reviewer Arling Wilson offered the tongue-in-cheek suggestion that it was all an act to get out of the obligation to see the second half of "Absalom and Tavent."

Joya's fiance and producer, Horace Shockley, was reportedly not at the hospital and could not be reached for comment.

oo er how exciting...maybe Joya is exhausted by travelling to earth all the time cause she's the one that rigged the whole cube thing...don't think its relevant but maybe she's on some drugs which is why she's being a bit odd..perhaps ceretin is making her act strangely
Why was Alejo there though, obviously still has a bit of a thing goin on..maybe she's bumped off Horace...ahh the mystery unravels.....

I don't suppose it's possible for someone in this city to come up with another, less judgmental etiology for her condition Rolling Eyes.

Sorry, I'm just surprised that it's treated so casually, even in light of PXC's medical advances. I don't know, perhaps there's a new unsuspected side effect of neuroenhancers? Someone's poisoned her key? She's being quietly assassinated? She's battling an unknown neuropathy?

To go down the more obvious soap opera route - the first question I'd be asking is, if Joya really *is* pregnant, who's the father? And, secondly, and more importantly, is she currently going out with him...or not?

Could be a plain case of guilt exhibiting as nervous exhaustion...or has she been trying to undertake an abortion on the sly? (not that I figure the medics at the PxP hospital wouldn't catch on to that - although the Sentinel reporter has clearly not been made wise to the entire situation...)

And maybe she did do something to Horace - could he have been campaigning against her having a baby as it would damage her long - term career?

And the drugs angle might also be worth thinking through - RFD appear to be in that one up to their necks...

The plot thickens...

'Likely's' the operative word, though...That was sort of the point of asking the question...

Still, maybe I'm getting a little *too* paranoid, eh?

Ooh it's just like a soap on Channel 5... she's probably first cousin to the father YET sleeping with her stepfather who is gay or something...

Well, maybe not entirely...

But would you put it past her?

And just what was Alejo getting into a fight about a while back anyway?

But maybe it's all a drugs business - I don't know why the theory that Alejo is serving as Joya's dealer just keeps coming back to me...

Perhaps I should keep remembering that this is supposed to be a family show Wink

Musicians don't just become famous - they play in lots of seedy bars before someone discovers them. Alejo and Joya could both have a history . . . Now that Joya is with this new guy maybe this is all just convenient so it looks like pregnancy may be the issue.

The real issue might be the recent death of the Bernardo Holyoke (Five of Cups). Maybe Joya or Alejo knew about the secret cache in the wall because they played there?

It could all go easily enough if Alejo or Joya performed at the Academy Ball.

But then, who'd "tune in again to see what happens next week." ???

Re: conversation last night in chat: just how old is Joya??? She looks about 12 in the picture. I had always assumed she was around 20-24 age range. And they think she's pregnant? Another possible mirror of our society Smile

Just to refresh everyone's memories, here's the old article about Joya vomiting - posted 1 month ago.

Interesting things to note are that she's supposed to be marrying Shockley in June and that Alejo Jackson is an ex for both her and Satine Noir.

There is a follow up to this story posted in the latest Sentinel:

Quote:

Joya Released
Singer Joya has been released from Phuah Hospital after collapsing in public Sunday night. Her fiance and producer Horace Shockley released a statement reading, "We are thankful for all of our well-wishers and the show of public support. We hope that the public will now respect Joya's need for a calm schedule in the weeks leading up to our wedding."

Well, Shockley still appears to be alive and well...unless he has someone sending out press statements on his behalf Laughing
