.......... Perhaps motherhood has changed her or is she just that afraid of losing Billy?

How about all of the above. She's in love with Billy and will do what ever it takes to hold on to him.

I thought the waiter Jill flirted with looked a lot like Steve Richard Harris (Recast Seth, OLTL/Zach Wilder, AW).

I know, Mark. I just love speculating! I didn't realize that no one knew what Patty did before. Now THAT'S interesting. S they kept the whole shooting secret and Carl just let it go cold once he found out it was his daughter? So only the Abbotts and the Williams know. Hmmm...

Exactly. I think nobody knows. I think she never saw prosecution. I can look it up later to verify. Does anyone else remember?

To my knowledge, not all the Abbotts know either--just Jack.

Thanks Alvin! It was him.

Very good catch, Mark. I love that this is actually a deep dark secret, so it gives the s/l more relevance.

Yay for me then. LOL!

I knew he looked familiar too.

There is no reason for Billy for be whining and complaining. He should leave Chloe if he is that unhappy.

But then, this entire Idiot Plot would be over; and we can't have that now, can we?

As far as I know, Jack blamed himself entirely for what happened to her, and promised he wouldn't press charges, because he knew he was to blame.

Soap Central also says Jack was trying to stop her from killing herself, and wanted her to shoot him instead so she wouldn't commit suicide, but I don't know how accurate that is, and it was before my time.

No comments on the Paul/Mary Jane meeting?

Probably b/c, we're over it by now. That's the beauty, I think, of a soap mystery that's so blatantly obvious. Don't you agree?

I realize SC isn't always the most reliable; in this case, however, they're dead-on (so to speak).

Blatently obvious? Now that's a 180 if ever I seen one, Chaka!

Let's just say, I've had some time to think about it, and I see where y'all are coming from, okay? Besides, I never should assume the majority don't know what they're talking about. If you think she's Patty, then she's Patty.

And my name is not Chaka!

Could be a bit o' both? She probably saw it as the end of Mac and Billy, therefore there was no need to berate him. But she definitely loves him - I saw it as pure love for the first time.

That is how I saw that scene also. I think that Chloe knew that Billy was very hurt and that there was no point in berating him. She loves him very much. If he does not wake up soon, he will lose her and will regret it. Chloe cannot keep putting up with his BS. She will have to move on at some point. I adore Chloe.

Poor Chloe.
