Hey, Dallas !!!

I like reading the longer episodes it gives more view point to the characters.

I knew that Meggan was somehow going to convince Brad to be the "Father" of her baby. I'm awaiting on his answer though. I mean it sounds like these two haven't had much contact since they left college so it seems Meggan feels desperate by doing this. Although, this story is adding another layer to the messy and complicated Jeff/Leah/Robbie/Meggan quad.

Tyler seems to be attracted to Daisy and vice versa. however, I like that you're writing Daisy with having second thoughts about starting something with Tyler. I hope the situation with Trenyce and Chris will give Daisy some more caution before launching into a possible affair. And Poor Vinny! He seems so headstrong about saving his marriage.

As I was reading the scenes between Cassie and Natasha I was hoping Nat would record this. And I'm so glad she did. Both women did have valid appoint about one another. Nonetheless, I know that Shane's birthday party will be unforgettable.

Finally Robin finally told Max stop coming onto her. I'm wondering if Max is going to retaliate in order to get the woman he has an obsession over.


Good Episode

Excellent theme song choice! You've had some very good ones lately.

I have no doubt that Brad will agree to Meggan's little proposal, since it serves to solidify his place in her life, which appears to be something that he wants. I don't think either of them is really going to think through the complexity of this and what it will take to follow through with it, but it definitely throws a new wrench into a bunch of lives, which is the goal of plotting a soap.

I do think there was some noticeable spark between Daisy and Tyler, but he's being pushy with her the way he was with Kim, and it's not a cute look. No means no. At least Daisy wasn't totally loathsome and quick to jump at his come-ons, but she really needs to watch it. Vinny is so devoted to her. I liked the use of history with having him consult Chris about his own marriage to Daisy (and Chris's honesty that he was the one in the wrong there).

When you mentioned Natasha taking out her phone and then quickly putting it away, I knew she'd set it up to record. Stupid of Cassie to blurt out her plan, but she's been so eager to stick it to Natasha that I wasn't entirely surprised. Then again, she made some very valid points about just how fixated on her Natasha is. It's funny, because Natasha is acting like a nut about this, but she's also not wrong -- everyone *should* be furious that Cassie is just sashaying around free!

I was delighted that Bob told Kim they need to change the name of Tyler's plan, hahaha. And I appreciate Robin being so frank with Max. He's not going to listen, but at least Robin is being smart about this.

Excited for dailies!

I am sure you all saw request from Meggan coming, but your points, it definitely adds some soapy twists to the story line. This is actually how Brad's parents will first be introduced – he will reveal that he got a girl preggers. And yes, neither one has really thought about what this means going forward … but that is part of the fun of a secret like this.

I find it interesting that Tyler seems to have a pattern of being attracted to taken women; first with Kim and now with Daisy. It is not exactly a redeeming quality. In Tyler's defense, Daisy is still giving him messages that she is interested. It's like she's saying no but winking back to him. There are some fun soapy scenes coming up in the dailies with this story line.

It was stupid of Cassie to blurt it out, but she loves to get that rise out of Natasha. Of course, had she known that Natasha was recording their conversation, she wouldn't have said anything … but that's what makes it a soap. And, of course, this will make the party (which the dailies are set for) much more interesting!

HA! Yes, TeenLand was my first idea but it sounded so dumb so I threw that in there that they had to change the name.

And yes, Robin really laid it down for Max. Will it sink in this time? Time will tell!

Thanks for reading guys, much appreciated as always!
