If you watch the show every day you would have heard and seen Nina BEG NAthan to always be her brother..This is why he refers to her always as his sister and no the team did not screw up..they are doing an amazing job.

Woke up under the bed? Perhaps you should start over. I'll wait

Levi's sole purpose is to orchestrate the audience to root for Nate and Maxi, do I misconstrue? Or is it bad editing that Epip was singing Amazing Grace but when the camera pans the church pews she was sitting beside Olivia and LuLu..

[ChitHappens]

lol. Really?

[Cyberologist]

LoL Yep I think so I'm going back to double check it...but just wondering if anybody else caught it or did I misinterpret.... poor baby blanket may he r.i.p....

I just don't think Robin needs to be killed off

but she definitely would need to divorce Patrick Drake she can return w/Emma to visit her dad

hang around and holla for a minute in a story arc ...its not like we see Emma everyday. and like I've always said re: this Emma can stay for an extended time with her father....

but the story is to throw Robin under the bus (or as Ron puts it, over the van) as a deadbeat mom and wife...to make Sabrina the most perfect mommy with Patrick shine...there was a golden opportunity...still is actually but it would throw shade at Patrick having a baby with another woman...now that they killed the baby off; Robin would've looked bad again..dumping her husband for a kid that died...

she still can divorce him but he'll be written the justification/rooting factor to do it. I just don't see the need to kill off a beloved character when there are 100 characters on the show and such gaps in seeing them anyway its not like she'd be on every day...its weeks sometimes months before they get around to characters eg see Rafe who wasn't on since February lo and behold he finally pops up a cokehead... I just don't see this as such a big deal she comes she goes so what...its a soap opera.

Where's Carrrrloos..?

Or, at the very least, they could have written off Patrick and Emma with Robin, allowing the three to have a happy ending of sorts, and then find someone else to be Sabrina's soul-mate. I mean, it's obvious Sabrina doesn't need Patrick to remain on the canvas. Frank and Ron love that girl too much. Any other guy could have fit the bill just as nicely.

[ChitHappens]

Exactly! But they kept Patty so that Emma can be part of the summer quad featuring 7/8 year olds. With the size of this cast, writing Patty out would be a gift! Not that I'm in a hurry for a non Craptini creation to go, but Patty has been waltzing Misery Lane for far too long. The show won't hurt if he's gone.

[KMan101]

Exactly. They should have been written out together. I wonder how often we'll even see the man with the beloved one now off the canvas for a little bit?

I dunno that I agree that Levi is being written badly, per se, to prop Nathan and Maxie. I just flat out don't like Levi. He's not AS terrible as he was in the beginning but I'm not seeing the propping for Nathan, really. I agree it's obvious what they're doing, and it's all pretty much slapped together and obvious. Oh, Maxie and Levi disagree. Cue Nathan. Cue Levi finding out. Bam. Triangle. Um ... no.

[ChitHappens]

You need more than that tree hugging frog to make Maxie/2 x 4 palatable! It's a nothing pairing just like all the rest.

[alexisfan07]

Wait, you mean our special friend Eric doesn't count?

[KMan101]

LOL

[alexisfan07]

Here's the thing about Nathan: he was brought on as the next Maxie love interest, which they setup in their very first interaction. However they are writing him in terms of personality, career etc is what Frank and Ron want Maxie's man to be. Most of you just don't agree with his traits being the ones that should be in Maxie's love interest but calling it a nothing pairing (outside of Paevey's obvious weak acting) is a bit ridiculous since Nathan was literally created to be Maxie's "twin flame" so to speak.

I would love to hear what Spinelli and Nathan are missing that make them unworthy of or not compatible with Maxie because I feel like for some reason, a lot of people are not happy with any Maxie pairing thus far.

[Vee]

No. Because he often doesn't like them; when it comes to these sort of prestige characters he prefers the famous originals whenever possible. And in this instance he is right.

It's nothing because Nathan is nothing. The character is nothing - a stalwart good cop who reins Maxie in, ho-hum. He's not interesting, and he's not played by a charismatic or compelling actor who can make a by-the-numbers role shine. Terry Lester hasn't exactly risen from the grave here.

[SFK]

I'm surprised that Maxie has such a fanbase to even care. I don't care for her, I find her personality off-putting and whatever guy she's paired with is irrelevant to me. It was nice when she was with Spinelli because he irked the living [!@#$%^&*] out of me and I could skip them both at the same time. So hooray for Maxie with Levi and Nathan because I don't care for nary one of them and I can flip to Maury or go get a glass of orange juice when they're on.
