I totally agree LadyO. I used to like the two of them but now.. . BTW loved your remark about Jessica chasing Brody like he's the last piece of meat on the show...LOL

LOL! Thank you. I'm hoping for some fun today with the show since it's Friday.

Well, you all know my feelings on Natalie, and by extension, Jared. I won't bore you with rehashing that....LOL....when you think of it, Brody IS the last piece of meat left in Llanview!! At least he is not scrap-meat!!

Quote:Why are Jared and Natalie keeping baby Chole's/Hope's identity a secret?!?! They know for a fact that the baby is Starr's baby and not Jessica, but they don't want to tell Jessica because they think her alters (Tess/Bess/Mess) will come out if she finds out the truth?! Won't Jessica be hurt worse if she finds out on her own?! Not that she will since she's chasing after Brody like he's the last piece of meat on the show.

I've lost what little respect I had for Jared and Natalie. They keep trying to justify what they are doing and you can't.

I do understand what they are doing, I don't like it but I understand it. It is not so much that they fear her alters it is more that Natalie fears Jessica is going to permanently lose her mind, which I dont think is completely out of the equation anyway since Jessica is a complete and utter nut job.

Personally I want the secret out because I want Jared and Natalie rid of this mess already, but it is a soap and there is no way it would come out this quickly anyway. I do however think it will all be revealed for May sweeps.

Did I lose respect for them for keep a secret? Not at all. I understand how you feel about the story and thats cool, I personally did not lose any respect for them. they are keeping a secret for "good" reasons, basically a typical soap thing doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. I lose respect for people who murder peoepl or kidnap people or switch babies to begin with. At the end of the day though these are all things that make soaps go round, I just wish they would end this dumb as heck baby stuff.

To re-iterate a post from a long time ago...I wish the baby switch came to light years from now when everyone has moved on! The dramatic impact would be better, and the payoff would too.By the way....why can't Marcie have kids....I really do not remember what the medical reason was.

I usually like the baby switch coming out years later too because of the dramatic impact but not in this one because Starr is the only part of the SL I like, I despise Jessica and really dont want to watch her with the kid that is not hers and that her own alter stole. So I want this one out quickly.I don't remember the exact reason why she can't have kids either, I may have to look that one up.

Ok I understand Natalie not wanting Jessica to permanently lose her mind, but why can't they bring Viki into the loop. Mom might have some ideas as to how to proceed since she has DID as well.Michael and Marcie are leaving the show. Maybe the baby switch will come to light and they will take the baby and leave town.

Where did you get Michael & Marcie are leaving town?? I haven't read that anywhere!Do Tell!

Marcie has a medical condition that would make it impossible for her to carry a baby to term. Michael and Marcie have been given their walking papers. It came out this week. It is under the Breaking News section on the SOD website.

Not bringing Viki into it is two reasons for me, 1 - it's a soap secret they are going to milk it for all it's worth, no way does it come out this quickly. 2 - I think they are stretching this to coincide with Michael and Marcie's departures, I think the truth will be revealed during May Sweeps and M&M will be written out with the baby.

Quote:Where did you get Michael & Marcie are leaving town?? I haven't read that anywhere!Do Tell! OMG! You missed the blip on the front page about Michael and Marcie? I almost cried seeing that because both still had storylines that could be done, but were put on the backburner.

i never go through the front page. I'm bookmarked right to the forums!that is distressing to hear. M&M have so much story they could be telling. I am thinking more along the lines that when they leave, it will be to take care of John/Michaels father, whom I ultimately believe to be the man in the coma. (just a feeling)

Well as long as they are leaving can they take brother John McBain with them

(just a feeling) Now that would be interesting. Aren't the McBains from Atlantic City? Roxy is from there too, right? Hmmm...

I'm telling you...the McBains, Trumans, and Balsoms are all from AC. Back then, like now, AC wasn't all that big....so to imagine Roxy banging a beat cop (which is what McBain SR was) takes no stretch of the imagination. I've posted this theory before....

And a good theory it is. I never knew they were all from the same city, so hey there you go. jmo

I am new to OLTL, but McBain Sr. wasn't evil was he? That is the supposed reason Roxy doesn't want Rex to find out who his dad is.

Remember it is Roxy, we are talking about. When you are looking at the world through the lens' she wears, who knows what you'll see!
