Mr. Vixen

Thanks, Carl! I'm glad you enjoyed the Hayley/Clint scenes! Clint's motivations will be explored more. I'm so glad you are enjoying Hayley's story! Thank you so much! And I love the Skye/Blair dynamic, so it will be fun to play on.

The newbies are in for quite a challenge, going up against some very strong characters. But it should be interesting to see their motivation, and how everything turns out.

I am looking forward to posting the Adam/Skye scene as I feel a reunion between the two is long overdue. And don't count Rae out just yet.

As always, thank you for reading and commenting.

Thank you, Spencer!

And I'm glad you liked the title! Love is a Many Splendored Thing is one of my favorite classic soaps, from what I've seen. I wish I could see more!

Thanks you guys!

Bright Eyes - You are definitely right about Skye. She really has ties to everyone, and helps to set up story for almost all of the characters, including herself. Tad will have more to do/be more fleshed out as the season goes on. LMAO about the siblings with the same initial. Well, we already know we can't trust Brianna...We'll just have to wait and see about Brandon.

Carl,

Thank you SO much for catching that. NO, Jacqueline is not also named Victoria. In my original story-board for the series, Jacqueline was going to be named Victoria. However, once I realized that I was also bringing on Victoria Lord, I didn't want to have two Victoria's on the cast. So her name was changed to Jacqueline, and I guess I just missed the change when I edited this episode! I fixed it now.So sorry about that.

I understand why it's hard to get into new characters within fanfic, and I am glad you are enjoying Brandon/Jacqueline. They're a very complex duo, and will play a very important part in the show within the coming weeks.

I'm glad you both enjoyed the cliffhanger. It's going to be an interesting dynamic down the road.

Thank you so much, Spencer! I really wanted that scene to have an impact and to further show how broken Hayley feels. I am glad you enjoyed the Kendall mentions!

Thank you, Carl!

Nope, it's not wrong of you at all!

Thanks Carl!

Thank you both!

Don't worry Bright Eyes, you'll get your wish.

Sorry it took so long to answer. Like I said, I've been traveling!

Hey guys! Please note, the name of this episode is "That's What Family's For". I just realized I forgot to make the change within the episode itself. I will edit it later. I am traveling now and only have access through my phone.

Thank you, Carl!

:lol:

Thank you so much, Mary!

Bright Eyes, Erica and Skye have a very complicated past relationship, as I'm sure you know. It will be explained more in the coming weeks. Lorenzo is dead, and Lila Rae's location is addressed in tomorrow's episode.

Spencer, LMAO thanks. Is it something Skye would typically say? Maybe not, but Skye is that one person who just isn't enamored with the "Erica Kane" brand and she was trying to make that very clear.

I'd just like to apologize for the short length of this episode. I was very ill when I wrote it, and that's why it's a bit short. I'm sorry.

Thank you so much, Mary!

Thanks Spencer! Yes, Skye realizes that Hayley is drinking! That will come into play soon.

And thank you for the compliment on the title!

Hey guys! Thanks so much for the feedback. I'm sorry it took so long to reply, I've been traveling all day and still am! I'm glad you are enjoying it so far. Bright Eyes, there will definitely be many different layers to the Hayley/Skye relationship.

Again, thanks so much!

Thank you, Spencer! I really wanted the scene between Opal and Erica to be emotional, entertaining, and a proper sendoff. I hope I achieved that.

I'm glad there is so much anticipation for the Skye/Hayley scenes. I hope you all will enjoy. Thank you for the compliment regarding Hayley falling off the wagon. I'm trying to really tell the story of her alcoholism, rather than it just be "Oh, Hayley's drinking again" if that makes sense.

Again, thank you so much!

Thank you, Mary!

Thanks you guys!

Carl - Thanks so much for the compliment on the Opal/Erica scene. I'm not going to lie, I teared up a bit writing that one. Very emotional. I always loved that friendship. I am really looking forward to exploring the Hayley/Skye relationship as well.

Bright Eyes - Peter is definitely a very naughty boy, ha! We're going to find out quite a bit about his past with Skye, and I think you'll be pleased!

I KNEW you would appreciate that, Carl. Skye is one of those characters who, even though she's been away, seems to know what's gone on with the people she once lived near/interacted with.

What I liked about writing that scene is that I wanted there to be some element of respect there. Yes, Skye is catty with Viki, but she isn't all out bitchy like she was with Blair. Viki kept it classy, and handled herself with dignity. And even though they both threw some barbs at each other, it's evident they don't all out hate each other, but rather are cautious and suspicious of one another.

Thanks, boo!

Thanks Spencer!

I don't believe Angell and Sean ever interacted on Y&R, but I imagine them having firey chemistry!

The New Hampshire residents are NOT aware of Hayley's alcoholism. That will be addressed, too.

Skye and Ric never hooked up on GH. A lot of fans wanted them too, and they were in the beginning stages of a relationship when Robin Christopher decided to leave the show. Your ideas about a male prostitute are very intuitive.

I've been waiting for someone to notice Jacqueline's last name hasn't been revealed. Yes, there's a reason. Stay tuned.

And thank you for the compliment on the title!

Thank you, Carl!

I didn't want it to just be "Oh yeah, we all happen to be in New Hampshire", ha! I want everyone to have their reasoning.

And that is something that will continue to be addressed and expanded as time goes on.
