Yes
Allison whilst zealously making certain she did not burden anyone with what she perceived to be some failing on her biological part and thought it to be somehow her fault - left a wound (more likely caused by how she was and wasn't treated by GBC) to be exploited.
Perhaps Olivia meant no harm with her remark (OW had a number of reasons to be upset with her being called as sister to GBC to attend that morning - having been hospitalised with migraine the day before & Allison had driven to collect her from hospital - I think she recognised GBC 'over-reaction' on face value and due to all the 'talk/reasoning' year after year among her family about Allison being the 'problem' not GBC - OW threw that line to the breeze among others that morning)
Shame. It's most likely OW lives her distance (Townsville?) for good reason.
GBC's brother similarly chooses to live a great distance away from Nigel, Elaine and GBC too. OS.
OW has likely slowed down with her throw away speak - but not before she sat in the box and spoke the only slant she has heard over and over again about Allison who she did declare she loved... Sad. OW must sleep restlessly. She had the opportunity to be the sister (in law) but ultimately failed Allison - inadvertently let's hope.
