BLQ thinks she's doing what's necessary to keep her marriage together, but all she's really done is push her husband and Willow closer together.

I now think that is absolutely what will happen, whatever events unfold from here. I think Brook will be at least partly responsible for what cinches them going to bed. If it loses BLQ this baby too so much the better.

Yep, they were, lol. Thanks, @Franko , for that picture.

You're welcome. I almost went with Nico & Julie's wedding photo, but it was nice to find a photo where Julie didn't look too demure for words.

(And I would even throw in a side story about racial backlash stemming from Willow's light sentence for causing an accident that nearly killed Jordan, a WOC).

Seriously, this is the kind of material that daytime (well, TV as a whole) could and should be tackling, but no one has the guts to.

And then, the irony of ironies: Willow learns she's pregnant...and Chase is the father.

I agree!!

Willow has done enough as is and is still up to no good, lol. I think the most brutal irony possible remains in Willow being innocent of the crime BLQ tries to frame her for - justifying it to herself, as she did the other day, because Willow got away with attempted murder - and that being what torpedoes BLQ's perfect marriage. Doesn't stop Willow from remaining bad news and a dangerous plot-moving force.

OTOH, considering how often this show shies away from those kind of messy nuances (or tries to give favored characters an out) it wouldn't shock me if we found out in six months that Willow did really hit them too on top of everything else lol. Which would be so dumb.

And yeah, I do think it is very possible 'sterile' Chase will knock her up lol.

Yeah, LW and JPS do have real heat and chemistry. They've both worked hard as actors to sell this and are willing to perform. But that doesn't make Val less creepy or the Carly/Valentin relationship any less rushed and OTT schmoopy. Why stop for a candlelit sexfest while you know Joss is locked away somewhere? It's being pushed so hard because FV is clearly thrilled to finally have a safe and dependable harbor for one of his top faves again.

I just hate that Valentin and Carly act like they’re the love of each others lives. It’s so overly just ugh.

It's very dumb. But FV has finally found a moderately popular new pairing for JPS with a core lead (which also gives LW more to do) and he's clearly all in with breathless enthusiasm lol. No more danger of Prince Valentin being written into corners!

I just wonder what they will do with Anna when Finola returns. I hope she won't have to mope around or just be more victimized.

I don't see much evidence that Cameron has fallen out of Frank's favor. Frank has accommodated his medical issues and outs and kept Drew played heavy til recently. Cam may be ready to get out of the chair, but I think GH has given him a meal and a half the last 2 years.

That they have.

But I'm talking about that interview Cameron did before the board's update that was under the spoiler tags where he was talking outside of shop. Something we know Frank frowns on. So...we shall see if Cameron has truly fallen out of favor. We at least have a timeline about Drew and the chair now. Sorta. But I assume you read that spoiler tag and know what I am talking about. If not, I'll hush.

Yup, but I don't think it lasted long. Nico eventually moved on to Cecily, but I guess remained friends with Julie.

Awww cute.

As far as on screen...I find it funny that just when Nina and Drew might have gotten a part deux and he might have gotten out of that chair...the same thing happens to Brennan...and all the story that was Drew shifted right on over to him...including potential new lady.

Speak that truth!!!

And yeah, I am afraid that whatever BLQ does will be the reason Chase and Willow fall into bed rather than the more organic-ness of his hero complex.

TBF, it actually has had a slight (if silly) build, but yeah...love of lives. I can see it with Val with his history of obsession, but Carly...NOPE.

Hopefully restored to strong Anna as she takes out either Sidwell or Random WSB Guy.

Man, when nothing is happening, this show gets so boring. Also, the dialogue writers were terrible today, giving the characters dialogue that just regurgitated the same plot points over and over ad infinitum. Rather than give them some little character bits to do, every character sounded the same, with all that was coming out of their mouth being recaps of past plot points.

Leave it to the Brennan actor to try and inject a little bit of character into the plot heavy dialogue, with his bemused reaction to Willow's antics.
