As others have said, staging and blocking would at least make it seem like romance was in the air with BLQ. Mess up her hair, direct them to be playful with how they speak and the looks they give. AS could even be fully covered in attractive sleeping attire and a silk robe. If it’s also insecurity about her appearance, give her a pillow to hold, or sit her at a vanity and have Chase leaning on her chair, meeting eyes in the mirror, kissing her cheek, playing with her hair. There are ways to sell intimacy believably and make it still feel sexy. But what they are doing ain’t it!

Frank and his team need to take a page from the late Gloria Monty's book and follow the great romantic comedies of the '30's and '40's. Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda oozed sexual tension in Preston Sturges' classic "The Lady Eve," yet I don't think she did anything more to him besides play with his ear while the two sat on a couch!

I know many hated her but I liked her as Babe too. Emme lacked that grit that the part needs.

My one complaint about Lulu/Nathan is that if Nathan is not Nathan this is sexual assault. And that’s yet another violation Lulu is being subjected to. Imagine a man on this show being violated this much!

I suppose the show could make Nathan a John Black unintentional dupe. Thinking he really is Nathan, but some crazy fake or twin planned by Sidwell probably. I don't buy Ryan Paevey being able to play as any sort of criminal mastermind. I guess it depends on how much the show cares about Paevey. I wouldn't bother making "Nathan" viable again personally, but if I had to that would probably be the stronger way to play it.

And seriously, no one cares about Lulu's violation. In 2026, we are still told Britt is Rocco's mom and what Valentin did wasn't a big deal.

I don't think Britt claiming Faison had four kids is a flub (or one FV would leave in), so I have begun to suspect this is in fact a twin of Nathan.

Still infuriates me. And Charlotte is still so creepily obsessed with Valentin and treats Lulu like dirt.

Oy.

I was wondering who the fourth kid was too and assumed I forgot. Darn.
