I'm not sure if the story was re-written in a short span of time or if I'm slightly off on the memory, but at some point they did show a flashback of Maria in the bathroom having the miscarriage. They showed her panicking over the pregnancy, and wondering how she would get rid of the baby.

As for the scene where Maria tells Edmund, ELR has a few genuine moments, but most of it is written and delivered like a bad monologue, IMO.

Didn't she say she rode a horse to make sure she'd miscarry, then aborted the child and buried it in the backyard?

I have a certain amount of support for McTavish when she is at her best, but baby stories are not among them. Starting around this period AMC had about five concurrent stories involving miscarriage, abortion, stillbirths, and women who couldn't conceive.

The story she tells Edmund is about horseback riding - I'm guessing the flashback that I can't quite recall is her having the miscarriage in the bathroom after she went out riding the horse. Not sure if they went graphic with the actual bathtub, but I seem to recall one of the Santos sibling knocking on the door off-camera, and Maria screaming for them to leave her alone.

Besides the JB hate, my main issues with McTavish was the general hate she seemed to disperse on the women in general. Can't come up with a good story for this female character - rape the character or find some other way to demean her.

Yes, McTavish did better with murder mysterious and such, but when she ran out of steam, that train took a hard fall of the cliff.

@ ghfan89, thanks for finding the bathroom scenes.

It also makes it even more out-of-character that Maria slept with Edmund so quickly - if this had actually been the devoutly religious life (and guilt) that Maria carted around - not just the contrived backstory that Megan pulled out of her butt...

    • The last scene of the final episode did show that life on Wisteria Lane would continue on once the toxic housewives moved away. It won't be as good as the original, but I'm intrigued to see what these new people do with the concept.  
    • This underscores the biggest issue that the show needs to work on.   The majority of the characters on the show are all related to one another, which is why we have that B&B esque Dani/Andre hook up situation

    • It was a good episode. I didn't expect things to unravel so soon.   One thing I still don't like about these big events: Where was everyone else?   This is a big event. Everyone should've been there.
    • Mitch, thanks for that history of the Reardon Boarding House kitchen.  I had always assumed that every time the kitchen set returned, it was a recreation of the original set.  So I have been wrong about that.   Was the kitchen set ever used later, while Buzz and the Coopers owned the boarding house?

    • Do they ever do anything well?  The show is about 4 week story arcs - if that it feels like.  Why wouldn’t you spend a month of subtle hints.  Late to events and don’t telegraph it.  Have repeated issues with time; I had a friend whose Mom suddenly was forgetting half the meal in the fridge to be heated for a meal; twice her husband had to go to her work to get her because she was still working and only noticed no one was there until he walked in to find her and make her come home (it was a doctor’s office, there’s not that kind of job);  knowing she had an appointment and not be worried by it, etc.   No, they have him do a head bonk and bam it’s cancer.     It’s almost an insult.

    • Today showed why almost no one comments on this crap soap. -- We're back to pretending that there aren't SCORES of cosmetics companies out there --  only Jabot and whoever else opens up shop in Genoa City to be the competition. No real business runs this way. -- Marchetti is supposed to be an internationally-renowned fashion house, yet both Chelsea and Sally are ready to walk after being high-level executives there. -- It's not often women leave choice executive positions in their field of expertise to work in a business they're clueless about. -- Sally had a lot of nerve shading Chelsea with "It's easy to see Adam's influence on you" when the same damn thing is happening with Billy. -- I'm glad Lauren told Michael to quit, since we've all been mouthing that for weeks. None of that story is helped by CLB's over-the-top acting. -- The scene with Victoria helping a sick, coughing Cole walk to their car on the way to the hospital was laughable. Wouldn't rich people call a damn ambulance? -- Claire was really concerned, wasn't she? She stayed in the doorway instead of helping her mother, and then headed right to Crimson Lights for coffee. Why bother with checking on her possible terminal father at the hospital?
