I think Maxie should die of a heart attack. Mac and Felicia can then raise her kids, and Cody can be an uncle to them. That way the Maxie problem can eliminated while keeping the Beautiful Boy James on the show.

I don't think insurance pays for IVF even on yourself.  I may have bad insurance but I am pretty sure it's an elective procedure.  Especially if it's on someone else.  No clear idea though.  Seeing the cost, I should have rented out my womb years ago lol.

Okay, that makes sense. I know I recall that it is very expensive. I was thinking that meant the insurance coverage for it was not good & not existing, well, that is definitely not good!!!! I imagine they have been living modestly & saving, too. This will go through their savings & they'll probably have to go into debt as well. This should be part of their tale!

You're always a wealth of positivity, aren't you?

The actor who plays Mr. Brennan was on LOST. I knew I've seen him before.

 

Charles Mesure, born in England, raised in Australia but much of his early career was actually in New Zealand. Was also Vanessa Williams' love interest in the final season of Desperate Housewives.

Molly is having a good year as a character, despite the recasts. She has now been in a total of 50 episodes for 2023, the most for the character since 2013.

You chose violence.

I really like NuMolly.

Kraze and ChaLynn!!!

I’m still liking both couples, but I think it’s time for some good conflict 😂😂

This stuff with Kristina and Blaze's struggles with coming out....sorry, I'm just not feeling it.

It all comes off as trying too hard to me -- like an after-school special. Weve had plenty of gay characters and couples on this show in the past, and it's not like we're being introduced to some alien species.

Unless we get to meet and know Blaze's Catholic family -- and I highly doubt we will -- I just don't see the point of any of this. I'd rather see these characters just like each other and fall for each other rather than watch this trauma bonding.

It comes across a little dated for me.  I just think a lot of the world has opened their mind to LBGTQ lifestyles but a lot still hasn't.   It doesn't feel groundbreaking or exciting, but it also doesn't feel out of the realm of possibility.

I liked Blaze in doses in the incredibly cheesy/retro '80s silly storyline with Chase (I talked in the past about how it was a unique mix of topical material - Kesha/Dr. Luke, etc. - with incredibly hokey soapy 'music business' drama where a non-musician character becomes a rock star for no good reason). Do I think she is a great choice for a lead partner for Kristina? Nope. I just don't care.

Did something unusual happen today? 

Otherwise, color me clueless, What struggle? What trauma? 

We've got 2 girls who have been seeing each other often & flirting a lot & now they've talked about past relationships & kissed. This to you is an afternoon special?

You didn't see today's episode? It was all about Blaze's worries about acceptance from her conservative Catholic family. That's after school special stuff to me, and as carolineg said, it's dated.

I watch the show on Hulu. Usually that means 9 pm. That's why I asked upfront if something had happened today.
