I have to say, after the stupidity of the ONS in the first place, I did not have much faith in how they would handle the reveal. So I am pleasantly surprised at how realisticly and maturely this is being handled so far. I would have much rather the ONS have never happend, but since it did and there is no erasing that, I am really glad they are letting Zach and Kendall work it out like a real married couple who is going through a great deal of pain but still loves each other deeply. I am also glad that Kendall got to confess to Zach before he heard the truth from anyone else.

I had always hoped this was how TPTB would let the ONS reveal happen, it kind of makes up for the stupidity of the ONS itself. Plus, IMO, TK and AM are just doing a stellar job with this material, these two actors really do this sort of angst so very well. Watching the other day I could almost feel the emotions oozing out my TV screen. Kudos to these two to making this so amazing to watch!

I know there is still more to come with this story since Greenlee is still in dark about it, but I hope that TPTB continue to let Zendall work it out between themselves. It's nice to see this sort of thing on soaps instead of the usual nastiness and revenge that comes from this sort of story. I hope it continues.

Awesome post! Totally agree with you TK and AM are definetly doing a stellar job. I mean yesterday I felt emotionally drained and then during the last scene, I felt hopeful. Amazing to me, that TK and AM could, pull those sort of emotions out of me.So far this reveal is good. Hope it continues

Considering I was dreading Zach finding out, I have to admit that the two episodes, so far, have been beyond my fondest hopes and expectations. I think what I like most, besides the phenomenal acting, is that AMC has remembered how the ONS happened and isn't turning it into something it wasn't. For months, AMC has implied that Kendall was attracted to Aidan and that's why it happened, but that wasn't what played on my TV screen last December. There was so much pain at that moment and she seemed lost. I'm glad that both Aidan and Kendall see that clearly now.I'm also so pleased to see Zach and Kendall written in character and with alot of depth. Kendall is taking on full responsibility, but she's also surprisingly strong in her scenes with Zach. Zach's anger is out in force, but I also see his fear. It's a very unusual turn, for AMC to have Zach and Kendall face this together and try to work on their marriage. I'm very impressed with how it's playing out and I'm impressed with AMC for deciding to write the story this way.

ITA. The ONS never should have happened. It was OOC and was a contrived plot point. However, since it did happen, I'm feeling so relieved right now. Relieved that it's out finally, and relieved at how it's being handled thus far. Like most Zen fans, I wanted Zendall to work this out themselves, and it appears that is what is happening. I'm so grateful to whoever at ABC/AMC made the decision to go this way and pray it will continue like this. TK and AM were heart-rending--just fabulous! And when he put his hand out and said let's go home, it was such a great feeling. I know there is much rough stuff still to get thru, but if TPTB continue in this vein, it will be great soap and I know TK/AM will knock it out of the park every day.

I am also enjoying how this s/l is playing out. BRAVO to AMC for doing it this way and BRAVO to the two most wonderful actors who are giving their all to make the last two days of the reveal so angst ridden and heart stopping, that it is finally a joy to watch AMC again. I watched the two days back to back and OMG I don't think I cried so much and had my heart hurt so much ever while watching this show. I am so amazed and awe struck at how REAL these scenes seemed to me. I have to keep hitting myself to make sure I keep saying to myself these are actors doing a job...I'm not watching a REAL couple in a REAL argument. They had me totally bawling my eyes out a few times. What really hurt was when Kendall offered to let Zach go, because she didn't feel she was what he wanted at that moment. It was so hard to watch and so sad to see the devastation in her face, at the thought of losing her soulmate. When Zach finally touched her hand and took her home, I think that was the first time I realized I had been holding my breath. Those two should get an Emmy for their performances of the last couple days. IMO the other stuff happening while Zen was on was necessary, because we needed the light stuff since Zen was so angst ridden.BRAVO again for AMC/ABC and TK and Lish!!

ICA - The grief sex never should have happened. It didn't make sense and was a cheap attempt at couple swapping, in my opinion.However, I am very surprised and impressed with how well written the reveal has been. It's not your classic soap story where the unknowing party(Zach) finds out from someone other than their partner. It's very realistic and TK and AM have done a phenomenal job with the material they've been given. Based on the spoilers it looks like Zen is going to continue to work through this. This is what I want to see- a couple in love working to stay together. That's must see TV, especially when its Zen.I was also shocked that Adian took some, although not enough responsibilty of how he treated Kendall. The only thing that could make this better for me is if the Kenlee "friendship" ends permanently because of this.

Thorsten and Alicia have done a wonderful job with this storyline and are really knocking it out of the park. I look forward to seeing the show everyday which has not always been the case lately.

I have to agree..the ONS should never have happened and I didn't want it revealed...ever!, but because of it we are seeing phenominal performances by Thorsten and Alicia. They are the heart and soul of this show. Now if only Greenlee and Aiden would get paid back for all the grief they have caused....especially, Greenlee. Maybe we'll see that in weeks to come.
