When Brooke tries to break it up, Trevor impulsively warns, "Watch it. She's pregnant." The room is hushed.

[DRW50]

I never can picture Angie and Derek together. I guess this was the Sandra Quartermain Angie that no one ever really accepted?

I always liked when Trevor would stop being the big moral voice of Pine Valley and go a little bit batsh!t. I guess today if one of PV's "heroes" did that I would be furious with moral outrage, but oh well.

Was this any less woeful oncamera than it is on the page?
