I can assure you StevieM is not a troll (I don't remember anything he's done that's "trolly" in the last 20+ years, even going back further to the late 90's at Dustin's DOOL page message board....Days cafe or something like that, I forget LOL), and calling him that because you disagree with his takes was unnecessary. We can't go around constantly calling people trolls for simply posting "unpopular" opinions.

Thanks Toups!!  I appreciate the kind words.

I never actually posted at Dustin's message board, and didn't realize that he had one.  But I did read his page, along with Beth's page.  The place where I started posting was the Coffeerooms.  I think that our page there was called Todays, but we usually just called it the Coffeerooms.  I believe you were Jim Reilly Jr. over there. 

Then there were a couple other sites we were both on, Turtle Run and Soap City.  And maybe you occasionally stopped by the Connotator, the Jack and Jen page.  Of course, we probably got to know each other originally on Channa's page.  That was where you first came of age as a reporter. 

OMG Those places.  hahahaha.  Yes, I meant the Coffeerooms... I knew it was coffee related.  Dustin didn't have his own boards but had a link to Coffeeroom.....I think.  Wow.  Blast from the past.  My days before SON was created.  LOL  Thanks for the laugh.

I am not a troll.  I have posted here, on occasion, for many years.  Apparently, I just got moved up to Explorer, whatever that means.  I have known Toups since 2001.  

My opinion sincerely differs from yours.  We seem to look at this story--and this issue--from a different perspective.  That doesn't make either one of us a troll.

As far as I am concerned, the baby was TJ and Kristina's.  I regard Kristina as the mother, not as the carrier for Molly.  Even if the adoption had happened--which was looking less and less likely--I still would not have regarded Kristina as having been a "carrier."  She would have been the expectant mother when pregnant, the new mom after giving birth, and then the birth mother after the adoption papers were signed.  

Cool.   No worries.  I apologize for my misuse of the world troll.  Agree to disagree.  

 

What do you know. A person is called a troll for expressing a different opinion on this board. Again.

@carolineg is an insightful, engaging poster who is a passionate fan of the show. It’s not fair to insinuate that she has any history of going out of her way to cause trouble as some others may do. It was a simple case of needing to agree to disagree that may have gone a bit far. Things can be easily misconstrued in written format, that’s all. 

Anyway, I guess it’s reflective of how much people are enjoying this show right now when this thread veers off like this, lol.

Just an observation. When people do not know each other & a specific minority opinion is stated & restated, essentially taking a very dead horse & beating it to death again & again, then, it can happen that it can seem as if people are, in fact, being trolled. That it can be in error, well, when gentle souls say sorry & cool, & all fine now, there's no reason to then beat that to death.

Aww, thanks guys for the support!  But I do apologize if I offended anyone including @StevieM.   I guess I just have really strong thoughts on Molly/Kristina/TJ's deceased baby.  😂🤷‍♀️  They have been dormant for the last 8 months but all came out yesterday lol.

I heard rumors that Jagger was out and that Molly and Brennan were being upgraded to contract players. Is there any truth to that?

Charles Mesure & Kristen Vaganos are series regulars, yes. As for Adam Harrington, it's guest-speculation, based on his exclusion from both the key art and ABC's website update.

It's just that we can get passionate about our shows.

Somebody’s gotta fall on their sword for Ava to make it out of this. 🤷🏾‍♂️ I think the recast was unnecessary and not a good fit. If Frank was so desperate to have him they could have made him Steven Webber.

I like Kristen Vaganos and Charles Measure so I’m glad they’ve been locked into contracts. Not sure how they’ll make Brennan work long term but I like him and Carly.

I think Vanganos deserves a contract, but I am at a loss about Brennan.  I see no need even if the actor is good.

I'm not sure about this. AFAIK it is rumor status from Twi/X & it was posted last night by a most unreliable person.
