They've had a number of fairly well done family scenes--the girls wanting to hang out more, etc. I think that aspect has been well done and shown how little kids at that age get crushes on older siblings/cousins etc.

I really want the SEC to shutdown Fusion permanently.

Confused. Can you adopt a kid that is already you're biological son?

Colby would make a really scary girlfriend.

[AllMyDaysatGH]

But then what would all of those women working there do with themselves?? Where would Greenlee, Erica, Randi, Amanda, Madison, Kendall, etc work?? I honestly think shutting down Fusion would give us more coma, baby, disaster type story lines involving them.

[Jonathan]

Well Erica will be busy

. I don't care where the others land. Randi can go back to hooking.

[Jonathan]

I'm at Damon "becoming a Martin" and Madison martyring herself.

[Cheap21]

Adoption is about legalities. Tad is not legalyl recognized as Damon's father. If he dies, Damon gets nothing unless specifically mentinoed in will. He cant be considered next of kin when it comes to signing legal documents and making decisions for him in the event that he can not. Damon's over 18, so he doesnt have to worry about that, but if he were a minor, adoption would be necesary to establish custody. Its why Ryan had to adopt Emma, despite them getting a blood test to determine that he was her bio father

[All My Shadows]

I heard about that spoiler and thought it was just wishful thinking on some people's part. So glad that's not the case!

So it's really about legally establishing Damon as Tad's son, then? I was wondering why Tad would need to adopt a kid who is biologically his, too, but the way you explain it makes sense.

Come on, AMC, get off your duff and get Carmen to come back, at least for a cameo. She already said she wouldn't mind it, and she does live in LA.

I hate whole adopting grown adults schtick. Like the way they had Clint adopt Jessica on OLTL that was just adding insult to the injury of one of the worst retcons that show's ever done. And Tad adopting Damon while not as egregious is certainly lame if we don't see him talk to Hilary.

[Jonathan]

Got it. Thanks!

Concur. Bring Hillary on!

[EricMontreal22]

I love Damon being a Martin--prob cuz I was adopted and I love when soaps realize it can be a GOOD thing.

[marceline]

How is Ryan Emma's biodad? Emma came on the show with Annie right? Wasn't Mr. Abusive her father? Goodness I missed so much during the McTavish blackout!

[DRW50]

I think Annie had gotten artificial insemination and Ryan had been the sperm donor from selling his sperm to a sperm bank or something. I don't know either.

[AllMyDaysatGH]

Annie was artificially inseminated with Ryan's sperm

[All My Shadows]

Ew, y'all say "artificially inseminated," and I wince.

Annie went to a <Blanche Devereaux>speeerm baaaank!!</Blanche> and ended up with the Lavery swim team. Kendall knew this, and, like the hypocritical shriek she is, refused to tell Ryan because she was jealous of Ryan's growing relationship with Annie.

[AllMyDaysatGH]

That was just to much of a coincidence for me. I hated when it was revealed that Emma was Ryan's. I liked him and Annie together, but that did not need to happen.

ETA: Kendall knew??? I totally don't remember that. Dang.
