Good, that argument didn't need to drag on or do serious damage to their relationship. I've never been a big Lauren fan, but her and Michael are a solid long term couple on a soap with serial couple swapping, and they need to stay that way to balance out the rest.
I doubt Taylor is 100% confident that this will answer all questions. She of all people should know that Bridget is prone to the occasional "oopsie" moment when it comes to these pivotal procedures. 🤣
I remember the latter part of those days of villain Michael when he was scheming with Eva Longoria's character. This article reminds me that I miss Paul Williams on the show.
Yes, Chad really did need to break up with Cat. A parent has to be a parent and put the needs and wishes of their child above themselves, especially when they're not yet of adult age (or even teenage) and yes that even includes over a lover. I've been in a situation similar to Cat (WITHOUT the "dead spouse impersonation" stuff obviously, lol) and an unhappy child makes for an unhappy relationship that just isn't going to work out for anyone involved. You can maybe argue should Chad have tried to give it a little more time to see if Thomas mellowed out over it, but in the end it was probably the inevitable choice. (Also, from a "real life" perspective, it was probably inevitable because we know BIlly Flynn's time as Chad on the show will run out before much longer, and NuChad may not have the same chemistry with Cat as Flynn did.)
Personally, I think CloverLeaf nailed it. Billy is enough of an adult that he should be more responsible for his own choices, and people around him tend to fear that he'll screw up because he has a proven history of doing just that. He's a gambler at heart, and part of the thrill is betting everything on himself and his choices, and even his love for those around him isn't a strong enough pull to save him from his gambler's mentality with his life.
I also hope this doesn't happen. Sheila and Deacon together are one of my favorite things about the show these days, and as much as I find the Luna-tic entertaining, I will be decidedly less happy about her remaining on canvas if it results in the ending of that relationship. I fear they're testing the waters for Deacon and Taylor down the line, which I wouldn't be a big fan of. Plus like you, I like this version of Sheila as a shades-of-gray character who still isn't truly in possession of all her marbles (she wouldn't be Sheila if she was) but who does try to keep her darker impulses in check.
They should have existing chemistry. Am I mistaken, or did Michelle Stafford and Roger Howarth's characters portray a couple at one point on GH? Were Nina and Franco together when Stafford played Nina?
"If Kyle's not careful, he might end up having amazing "hate sex" with Audra. She's single. So is he. Stranger things have happened on soaps."
So if Kyle and Claire are Ross and Rachel, does that mean that if this does happen, that when Claire finds out that Kyle will defend himself by saying "We were on a BREAK!"?
