The Bachelor: My Thoughts on Episodes 1-3

Okay, I know that very few people (i.e. none of the eligible guys) have found their life partners this way. But, it there is still something so entertaining about watching these singles awkwardly approach dating in clear view of the public eye.

 

Anyone have opinions on who will be going home next time? Here's what I think:

 

My Top Three Picks

Jenni (He kissed her first and likes her obnoxious laugh)

Hillary (He kissed her second and kept her in a 1-on-1 date)

DeAnna (He'll choose her side over Jade's in next week's fight)

 

My Bottom Three Picks

McCarten (She got rejected as a bad kisser)

Sheena (She is not memorable)

Jade (She'll call out Jenni's portfolio and force Brad to pick)

 

Anyway, below, I have recapped what I can remember of the highlights (and low points too!) of the new season so far, just in case you are interested or need to catch up.

 

  • Episode 1: Meet Brad Womack

 

In the first half of the segment, we learn that Brad went from rich to poor (after his parents split) to rich again. He lives in Texas and has made millions by owning some bars with his brothers.

 

Next, we get to see each girl being introduced to Brad. So, here are some things I remember.

 

Kim - She had her shoes in her hands because she was worried she would be taller than Brad.

Sarah - She tells him she and the other girls were trying to read his lips while they were in the limo, and they thought his name was "Bryan."

Rigina - She introduces herself as "Miss Brown Sugar." What?

Erin - She broke her face a few months ago in a game of football.

DeAnna - She spoke to Brad in Greek.

Juli - She calls herself "Juli without an -e on the end."

McCarten - She says she and her name are Irish.

Estefana - She is from Argentina.

Mallory - She is from Oahu.

 

Brad eventually goes inside, and all of the girls mingle and begin to gush typical adjectives like "sweet" and "amazing" to describe Brad and the experience. In fact, they do it so much that my husband started counting every time they used those words. It got pretty high before he finally gave up.

 

Here are some random happenings from the house pary:

 

Brad chats with DeAnna and gives her his jacket when she gets cold.

 

Bettina tells Brad that she can teach him to surf.

 

Kristy tells Brad to stick out his tongue so she can do a reading. She is an acupuncturist, after all.

 

Hillary and Erin bond over broken faces when Hillary reveals that she broke her nose with a bowling ball.

 

Jessica, who feels it is her duty to inform the rest of the world that she is a journalist, decides to mock interview Brad. I thought that was kind of rude of her to pull him aside in mid-conversation. So, I did not feel too bad for her when Susan interrupted and dragged him away.

 

Brad confides to the camera that he loves how Jenni laughs, and I want to beat him over the head with a pillow. That girl has the MOST ANNOYING laugh known to man or woman. Period.

 

Brad gives away his coat yet again, but this time to Lindsey. She in return gives him a yellow rose and serenades him with the most tone-deaf version of Yellow Rose of Texas I think I have ever heard. My husband, who is also tone-deaf, said, "Wow... she's making my singing sound good." Brad lies through his teeth and tells her he loved it.

 

Thinking she needs to step it up a notch to stand out and get a rose, Juli-without-an-E does her human pretzel trick, which is not becoming at all.


Lots of girls get sloppy drunk, which is not attractive in the slightest bit. Like, Tauni who shows a bewildered Brad her butt.

 

But no one was so much as drunk as Melissa. First, the poor dear loses her plastic boob and laments about her breast size to the amusement/horror of the surrounding ladies. Then, she clearly disgusts Brad by babbling incoherently about his "sweet sweetness." I am pretty sure she is the reason my husband quit counting those adjectives.

 

Morgan grosses everyone out by showing Brad her webbed toes. Ew. That's not a good impression to make for a first date.

 

Mallory decides to show off her "assets" and jumps into the swimming pool in her bikini. Everyone grows increasingly jealous and critical of her stunt. Mal tries to get Brad to shuck the pants and jump on in, but he thankfully resists that temptation.

 

When he excused himself to go get the First Impressions rose, I started screaming at him, thinking he would give it to Mallory. Instead, he surprised me by giving it to the annoying-laugh girl Jenni, who some how came into possession of his jacket. The remaining women are clearly on edge, knowing that they could be going home soon, as the rose ceremony fast approached them.

 

I could not remember all of the names of the girls who received roses, so I cheated a little bit and pilfered the names off ABC's website. The remaining women are: Jenni, Jade, Bettina, McCarten, Lindsey, Hillary, Michelle, DeAnna, Sheena, Estefana (I forgot to look up the spelling. Darn it.), Erin, Solisa, Sarah, Mallory, and Kristy.

 

  • Episode 2: The Claws Come Out

 

(Note: I missed some parts of the episode, so my summary will be a little bit scant.)

 

This week there are two group dates: one at the race track and one at the beach.

 

McCarten and Hillary both think they'll get the very first kiss from Brad. How mature. And, a humble Jade shows her modesty by declaring that she'll get a rose for sure because she is the most competitive and best looking woman there. Please.

 

The girls arrive to the racetrack wearing the hats and sundresses sent to them by Brad. In his private suite, Brad gives the girls money to bet on the horses.

 

Later, an NFL player (I think, maybe?) visits the suite and gives everybody a shirt. Then, he tells Brad that McCarten and DeAnna were the two ladies he recommends. Brad takes this into serious consideration because everybody knows that NFL men are experts in love. Yeah, I'm rolling my eyes here.

 

While the girls are enjoying the tomfoolery at the races, Michelle has managed to, well, fall down the stairs and go "boom," as my older two used to say when they were younger. Somehow managing to get ahold of Brad's cell phone number, wheelchair-bound Michelle calls him to fill him in on her accident. The women are concerned about Michelle's call but not necessarily because she is injured. McCarten even jealously wonders how Michelle got Brad's number! So much for common decency.

 

McCarten decides to try to bring things around in her favor by planting a big wet one on an unsuspecting Brad. The lousy kiss prompts Brad to wipe his lips immeadiately afterwards, and he admits privately that he did not enjoy it. McCarten is definitely a piece of work.

 

DeAnna, in her one-on-one alone time with Brad, lays all of the cards on the table and is rewarded with the evening's rose. The jealous overcomes some of the ladies, and they decide to bust in on the happy couple. Hillary wonders why she didn't get the rose since Brad held her hand and all earlier.

 

As the next crop of ladies get ready for their beach date with Brad, they, as Hillary points out, unnecessarily show off their bikinis to the injured Michelle. I had to agree with Hill; a lot of these girls are mean-spirited. Sheena even goes as far to say that with Michelle injured, she's possibly out of the game, which is good news for the rest of them. So, I say boo! to Sheena. That's not a very nice thing to say on-camera, even if you are thinking it.

 

I missed most of the beach scenes, but apparently (and according to my husband), Solisa demands that Brad do a body shot and then gets to lick him. Yum. Later, she tells Brad that she is a Christian and morals are important to her. Not to be out-slutted, er, I mean outdone, Estefana (no clue on spelling) does a body shot off Brad too.

 

When Jenni gets some private time with the Bradster, she is rewarded with a kiss. I am kind of glad I missed hearing her laugh this go 'round though.

 

What I am sorry I missed is the scene where the less-than-honest twosome of Jade and Hillary go through Jenni's luggage and discover her modeling portfolio. I guess nothing's sacred when you share a house with girls you barely know. But, I wonder if this means Jenni has less than honorable intentions when it comes to dating Brad. What is her reason for having it with her? Hmm...

 

Sarah receive the evening's rose, crushing Jenni who experienced the very first (wanted) kiss with Brad.

 

Later that night, everybody crams into the hot tub, and Solisa, whom I am starting to dislike, removes her top and goes streaking toward the ocean. Everybody ignores her, and she eventually comes back with her top back in place. That is just to "out there" for me. Ugh.

 

As Brad rose ceremony looms, Bettina starts to tell him about her divorce but skirts the idea at the last minute.

 

In what should be filed in the stupidest mistake of the show's history, Jade is caught badmouthing Jenni for bringing her portfolio. DeAnna tries to comfort a distraught Jenni, but Jenni is worried that someone will say something negative about her to Brad.

 

Jade surprises me by warning Brad about watching out for less than honorable intentioned ladies but not naming any names. I wonder if she'll let it spill during another show. That has to be hard for Jenni to have that hanging over her head.

 

As the episode draws to a close, Mallory and Erin and, shockingly, Michelle are chosen to go home. To be fair, I do not think he really gave Michelle much of a chance. Maybe he has other reasons to send her home, but, to me, it kind of comes across as he is dismissing her because she is no longer able to "participate" like the other ladies on the group dates. That really says a lot about his character, don't you think? There's no example sticking it out "for better or for worse" here.

 

  • Episode 3: Embarrassment for One and All

 

Brad gets to take the ladies on three different dates: a group date to the circus, a private individual getaway, and a group date aboard a ship. With only one of the ladies get Brad all to herself, there will definitely not be an jealousy issues or hard feelings in the house. (Yeah, right!)

 

Six girls head out on the first group date to the circus, to help Brad see their "inner child." Having not learned all of the names of our lovely ladies yet, I can only recall here those who stuck out. Before the show, the girls got to try the very-low-to-the-ground tightrope walk and clowned around with the clowns. They even got to participate in a juggling bit, with pins flying past their noses. Jenni, the giggling cheerleader, did a few backflips for everyone. Even my husband thought the whole, "Look at me! I'm a cheerleader!" routine was growing stale. I thought it all seemed quite embarrassing myself.

 

Jenni, eventually pulled Brad aside and spilled her guts about really liking him and asked him if he'd be willing to pursue a long distance relationship while she finished out the season.

 

When the show starts, Brad feels the need to pull McCarten away from the group. As she begins her long spiel about how she does not need a rose to feel secure with herself, my husband broke in with his own opinion: she's more about winning than really being into him.

 

Estefana (For the life of me, I cannot remember how to spell her name) gets the rose in front of the cheering circus crowd, and I swear McCarten looks a tad bit miffed. You can tell that few (if any!) of the girls are happy for her.

 

When the girls in the house learn the "winner" of the individual date (Hillary), you can tell that most of these girls are not even trying to be friendly. Which brings me to my next thought: These have to be the meanest, most competitive group of girls yet. Most are not even pretending to be nice.

 

To sweeten the deal (and further infuriate the jealous types), Hillary is given a millon dollars worth of jewels to wear on her date to compliment the show-chosen black dress she is wearing. Brad then wisks her away by jet to a private dinner in San Franciso. The niceties of the evening are broken when Hillary starts sobbing about how much she likes. I cringed through most of the embarrassing breakdown and loudly urged Brad to run far, far away from the basketcase. Instead of heeding my advice, he shuts her up by giving her a rose and a first kiss. Hillary instantly becomes giddy thinking that she is the first girl on the show to receive a liplock from the Bradster. Later they go to a chocolate factory and make sundaes. She asks if he wants some "jimmies" and he confusingly asks, "You mean 'sprinkles'?" My husband, dumbfounded, quipped, "Who in the world calls them 'jimmies'?" So, I retorted, "I guess that's what they do in her neck of the woods in Pennsylvania." Yeah, I've heard of "jimmies" but never really knew what they were. Guess I learned something that night, eh?

 

When Hillary returns home, she is appalled so much by the cattiness of the other girls that she jokingly tells them that she and Brad joined the Mile High Club. You can clearly tell by the look on the other girls faces that they do not know she is joking. But, honestly, if I had been Hillary, I would not have asked these girls to tell her truthfully if they had wanted her to go home. Of course they want you to leave! What do you expect? They want to date him, not you! However, the polite and diplomatic thing to do would have been to not raise your hand and declare that wish. What good could come of it?

 

The third group of girls board the boat with Brad and spend most of their time trying to let him know that they are "so into" him. I guess the second date is the time to make that known. I lost count of the number of girls who did so.

 

The interesting points of this boring date:

1) Sheena gets in trouble with the Coast Guard.

2) Solisa gives Brad a lap dance.

3) Bettina confesses that she has been married before.

4) Kristy gets the rose.

 

First things first. Sheena cuts in front of Brad while they are out on jet skis, prompting the Coast Guard to issue them a warning and to ban them to one jet ski out at a time. How embarrassing. To add insult to injury, now every girl but Sheena will get to ride on the jet ski holding on tightly to Brad. Ouch.

 

Solisa's lap dance was... disturbing. And embarrassing. The whole time I kept muttering, "That is NOT appropriate for a group date!" I really was hoping he'd cut her for that one.

 

My husband pointed out something interesting about Bettina's divorce: Why is that necessarily viewed as a black spot on her record that will count against her character? And, he's right. We basically know nothing about the relationship with the ex or why it ended, and she has no children. So, why does it even matter?

 

Forgetable Kristy gets the rose for the evening, as well as the evil eye from some of the other girls. I think Solisa was really ticked off that her booty shaking did not earn her immunity.

 

As Brad gets closer to elimination time, he (or the show's producers) gets the bright idea to have his seemingly identical twin Chad step in for him. If the ladies can tell the difference, then they are the right ones for him. Aww... love and deception at its finest hour.

 

As my unusually opinionated husband pointed out, the twins are fairly easy to distinguish. Chad's teeth are not clearly not the same as Brad's, and one of them has a thinner face (but I cannot remember which one without looking at a pic). The biggest difference: the voice quality. It's easy to distinguish a lower sounding voice with a drawl from an average voice with little regional distinction. But, that's just my opinion.

 

Most of the girls saw a difference almost immeadiately, with some not being able to put their finger on it. However, ditzy Lindsey was oblivious to the change, and clearly nervous Sarah noticed something different but did not call Chad out.

 

At the end of the day, Lindsey, Sarah, and Solisa are not given roses. I felt bad for Sarah because she seemed to know something was wrong with the Chad/Brad switch but probably chalked it up to nervousness.

 

  • So, what do we have to look foward to next time?

 

1) Jade & DeAnna hate each other's guts and start calling each other out.

2) A group goes to an improv session. Fun times!

3) Jenni gets the 1-on-1 date. Boo!

 
 
   
 

Passions - Thoughts Before the Show: Friday, August 31, 2007

 

I just though I'd jot down some quick thoughts before I watch today's show.

 

  • Chad/Whitney/Miles/Baby/Simone/T.C.


First of all, I cannot believe that the show offed Chad! Wow! That was the biggest shocker this show has had in a while. And, the best part is that it seems to be Passions' first genuine murder of a major character. Wow! (Can't say that enough!) I do not see how he could possibly be brought back in the future either.

 

I am not sad to see this character go, however. The writers basically destroyed this character to a point of unredeeming quality, and there was basically nowhere left for him to go but to the cutting board.

 

I have missed a few episodes this summer due to travels and a fractured foot, so I do have one question: is Whitney still pregnant? And, if so, what is to become of this child? Will fans get off-handed updates from Eve in the future on the little one's birth, will this give Whitney a chance to make a return appearance if necessary with Miles and the baby, or will this baby be written off to history like other Passions characters? Also, what will happen to Simone and T.C. once the show makes the leap to DirecTV?

 

  • Ethan/Theresa

 

We all know that Ethan will pull out of his coma, but what does that mean for this marriage? Technically, isn't Theresa still married to Alistair? Doesn't that mean that her marriage to Ethan is no long valid? How will that come into play for these two? Also, Theresa has told Ethan he has a son, and he seems to have heard her. But... that leads me to my next point...

 

  • Gwen/Rebecca

 

I could be way off-base here, but what do you bet that Gwen's "mystery man" is really her son? Yesterday's show seemed to through us that hint, and the more I think about it, the more I believe that Gwen's son will be the little boy that Ethan thinks Theresa was talking about when he was in a coma. Thus, Theresa's confessed secret will become dormant again.

 

But, I have two questions about Gwen's son, if that's who the mystery person is. First, what did Gwen being tied up and tortured have to do with her having a son? Second, is this little "Nathan" whom Theresa supposedly aborted, or was Gwen pregnant when she left Ethan?


Gwen also confessed to Rebecca yesterday that she still loves Ethan, so I can see room for conflict in the future with the silly Gwen/Ethan/Theresa triangle. I am even willing to be Theresa gets pregnant YET AGAIN before anything is solved one way or another.

 

  • Spike/Jessica/Sam/Noah/Paloma

 

So, Spike confessed to Sheridan that her son is still alive. I honestly do not think this was a hoax to keep himself alive since Beth's being alive has been mentioned.

 

Um, where is Jessica? And, isn't she still pregnant?

 

Where are Sam, Noah, and Paloma for that matter? Are Noah & Paloma going to get married or what?

 

  • Vincent/Eve/Julian/Ivy

 

So, baby Vincent is gone, thanks to Auntie Sheridan. Okay, I really didn't get why Eve and Julian could not have both offered a hand appiece to Vincent and pulled him to safety. DUH!


So, no that Vincent's gone, where does that leave Julian and Eve? Hopefully, Julian will return to Ivy soon. I like that pairing much better.

 

  • Fancy/Luis/Sheridan/Beth/Marty

 

Fancy and Luis seriously need to learn how to lock a door and frisk the room for hidden cameras and the outer area for peeping Tom's before getting down to business. Is there anyone in Harmony that has not seen them get it on?

 

What do you want to bet that Sheridan will try to use Marty in some way to force Fancy and Luis apart. She will probably guilt Luis into searching for Marty and Beth again, all the while gloating and sticking her tongue out at Fancy ever chance she gets.

 

I actually like evil Sheridan much better than goody good Sheridan.

 

And, speaking of Sheridan, what made her all of a sudden want to save Vincent from Spike? And, why did she grab Spike's hand to try to pull him up to safety anyway? It was only after that fact that Spike revealed that Marty was alive.

 

  • Alistair/Pretty

 

And, just when it seems that not enough people want to break up Fancy and Luis (I'm seriously rolling my eyes here), Alistair hatches a diabolical plot to come between the lovers by using Fancy's sister, Pretty.

 

Okay, why does everyone keep calling Pretty "ugly"? She does not look like a "monster" to me. I am sure there are plenty of guys out there who would look past her "disfigurement" (which I use the term loosely) and date her. Has she ever thought maybe her ATTITUDE drove the fellows away? Although, I do see her point on one thing, why does everyone love and prefer Fancy anyway? I think both girls are striking, and I'm sure Pretty's attitude was much better before the accident.

 

  • Tabitha/Kay/Miguel/Endora/Edna/Norma

 

As much as I love scenes with Tabitha and Endora, and as much as I have surprsingly enjoyd those with Edna and Norma, I am tired of the storylines lately at Tabitha's house. I hope they send the weird twosome on their way to Fiji or whatever they are going soon.

 

Kay and Miguel need to break up soon. They are boring me to tears. Kay's attempts at magic are mildly entertaining, but Miguel's broken-record dialogue ("I am seeing things; I am going crazy; I need more sleep") is driving me insane!

 

Back in the day, I rooted for these two to be together, but, now, I just wish Charity would come back and lead Miguel off on another wild goose chase. Kay was so much better with Fox!

 

  • Fox/Esmé/Vicky

 

Okay, first things first. I do not know how to spell Vicky's name so this is how I plan on spelling it, until I learn otherwise.

 

Fox and Esmé are such a mismatched pair. Sure, they are both rich and overly horny individuals, but I just cannot find myself liking them as a couple. Honestly, most of the time Esmé's voice and mannerisms annoy me.

 

And, what is with the character change in Esmé? She seemed to be a

narcissistic, volatile shopaholic, and suddenly she's written as a sweet, patient, caring aunt taking in an orphaned niece? That's just... weird.
 
Vicky's whispering thing gets on my nerves. Why does she do it, and, more importantly, when will they make her stop?
 
I can clearly see that Vicky's going to fall in "love" with Fox while her aunt Esmé pursues a relationship with him. Just what we need, two twenty-something trying to get their groove on, with the Theresa-esque prepubescent stalking her "man." Boring! Let's just hope when Vicky decides to start talking on her own, she does not suddently start spouting off about "FATE"!

 

  • DirecTV

 

Frankly, I am so sick of the "We're moving to DirecTV; come join us!" ads at the end of each show. I miss my next-day spoilers!

 

Unfortunately, my husband chose Dish Network when we signed up for satellite services here in the boonies, so my Passions viewing experience ends when the program leaves NBC. 

 

I will miss this show, but hopefully, one of the other soaps out there will fill this newly created void. Anyone have any suggestions?

 
 
 

   
Thoughts on Passions: Friday, August 17, 2007

 

I only caught the last 30 minutes of today's episode, so my recap and thoughts might seem scant.

 

  • Vincent/Eve/Julian in the pyschiatric ward

 

Under hypnosis, crazy Vincent reveals that someone sent him on his mission, but he declines to name the person. Vincent eventually break down and regresses into a childlike state, only letting his "Mommy" leave his side with the doctor's promise of cookies. The whole "Vincent loves his Mommy" bit was kind of creepy. 

 

Vincent's doctor (who is a very wooden actress) pulls Julian and Eve into the hall and tells them that she believes someone sinister is bullying baby Vincent. Julian and Eve are shocked when they both think they might know who is behind Vincent's delicate condition.

 

Meanwhile, a faceless guard brings Vincent cookies and milk to his cell and proceeds to crush a cookie in the cowering Vincent's face. And, our cookie-crumbling guard turns out to be none other than... TADA! Alistair Crane himself... or "Grandfather" as Vincent refers to him. No big surprise there. I had a feeling this is where they were going with this storyline when they started talking about a evil man who sent Vincent on a mission to destroy everyone's lives.

 

  • Chad/Whitney/Gwen/Rebecca at the hotel

 

Chad and Whitney guard the bathroom door and refuse to let Gwen and Rebecca back into Theresa's wedding ceremony. Rebecca says to let them out, or she will tell everyone that Chad's gay. Chad denies this, and Whitney gives him a look. (Rebecca always gets some funny lines!)

 

Chad hopes aloud that Theresa and Ethan will have a happy marriage like he and Whitney did at first. Whiney... I mean, Whitney... reminds him that both Chad and Theresa have entered into their marriages with secrets, and secrets always have a way of coming out and destroying lives. After a while, Chad wonders why Gwen and Rebecca have gotten so quiet.

 

Gwen breaks out the bathroom window, in hopes of escaping to the chapel to stop Theresa's wedding, but, alas, there are iron bars on the window. Gwen sadly realizes that there is no way out of the room as Rebecca, unknowingly correct, comments that she bet Theresa has run down the aisle in order to speed up the ceremony.

 

Confident that Gwen and Rebecca are not going anywhere, Whitney heads off to the service, while Chad continues to guard the door.

 

  • Kay/Miguel at Tabitha's house

 

Kay watches the wedding in her magical cauldron and is determined that she and Miguel be there. So, our fledgling witch casts a spell to keep the minister from conducting the ceremony, by having him cough and speak giberish. Who would have believed one of Kay's spells would go right? Then, when Miguel comes in for bed, she magically wisks them away to the chapel. I guess Kay is two for two tonight!

 

  • Luis/Fancy/Sheridan/Pretty at the Crane pool

 

Luis listens as Pretty recounts the story of her accident, and he asks what kind of monster would do that to her. Sheridan, in the background, gloats as Pretty outs Fancy as "the monster who scarred her for life." Luis looks stunned as Fancy denies it. Okay, why, if Luis loved Fancy, would he believe Pretty's story? Let's hope he gives Fancy the benefit of the doubt and a chance to tell her side of the story. I hope Luis still sides with Fancy because I'd love to see that smirk wiped off Sheridan's face.

 

  • The Wedding Chapel Crew

Theresa thinks that the gibberish-wielding minister must be on Gwen and Rebecca's watch to stall the wedding until they return from the restroom. It is good to see Theresa be the paranoid one for a change; after all, she was always accusing Gwen of being paranoid about Theresa.

 

Kay zaps Miguel and herself into the wedding chapel and convinces Miguel that he slept while she drove there. Ethan wants Theresa to do the march down the aisle again for her brother's benefit, and he asks Miguel to be the best man since Chad has disappeared.

 

Theresa halfheartedly agrees to do everything over again and pulls Pilar into a corner. She confides in her mother that she feels afraid Rebecca and Gwen will burst in at any moment and ruin her important day. Why she just does not tell Ethan the truth I will never know. It seems like he would understand why she could not before... but now she really has no good excuse not to say anything. Actually, why anyone would want Ethan is beyond me. He is a cad, and I would not be surprised if he chased after someone else for the "thrill" he got when he snuck around with Theresa. But, I digress...

 

Whitney returns to the ceremony, just in time to tell Theresa of Gwen and Rebecca's bathroom imprisonment. Nonetheless, Theresa feels the need to run down the aisle, to call to her mother stop the music, and to demand the minister speed up the ceremony by skipping straight to the vows. Then, she giggles and gushes like a ditz and gives everyone a big smile likes her hurrying everything up is all a joke.

 

Now, Theresa is a strong person, so why would they make her act silly like that about hurrying up to marry Ethan? The only two people that can ruin her wedding day (that she knows of, at least) are locked safely away. So, what's the rush? I'm going out on a limb here, but I honestly think that Theresa believes that if Ethan is married to her and the secret comes out later, then, oh well, he won't do anything about it because he'd never leave her when she's his wife. That seems wrong on several levels if it is true. Number one: Little Ethan (gag) deserves to know his parentage and to have his feelings considered first and foremost. Number two: marrying Ethan to ensure he'll stay married to her if/when she's exposed is manipulative and self-serving. Number three: at this point, the Crane power and money are really the only things she has going for her by not telling Ethan her secret. Is she really that greedy?


Who wants to bet that Alistair Crane will be the one to bring Theresa and Ethan's marriage to shambles by revealing her secret?
