Hi Dallas,

Just caught up on the last two episodes in one sitting. I'm really liking this Natasha/Dawn story. It isn't what I would've expected from the Natasha/Adam fling, but it's great drama, and I like how it's bringing in some fresh and unexpected dynamics. I read the 2016 Preview, so I'm kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop with the Reg thing, but I like what a colossal mess this all is. And Dawn's feelings of remorse over what she did are necessary and really help ground things.

I'm also liking all the overlap and unexpected interaction happening with the fallout of Leah's death. I didn't think I'd ever have bought the Jeff/Meggan coupling, but so far, I do. And I really like Victoria standing strong and even letting Jeff know that she's on his side. Paige finding out about Jeff and Meggan is a great twist, too. The one note that still feels a bit false to me is Robbie's reaction. I get that he's grieving Leah, but he was THERE! He knows that Felicia was bonkers and caused the entire thing, doesn't he? I still don't entirely understand why he's blaming Jeff so harshly. Jeff didn't kidnap Leah to Tahoe. I know Robbie lashed out at Bob for screwing with Felicia's medication, but it seems way more reasonable to blame one or both of them than it does to blame Jeff. If Jeff and Leah had planned to marry in Twin Peaks, what's to say Felicia wouldn't have done something just as nuts? I hope that Felicia's memory coming back will mark a shift in this story -- it should open up some interesting avenues.

I really want to see someone get through to Andy before this gets much worse! I just wonder who it'll be.

Thanks for stopping by, Michael!
I'm glad that you're enjoying the fall out of the affair with the Dawn/Natasha angle. There are some surprising twists and turns coming up that will change the dynamic, again, with this story and these two character's in particular.

The Reg storyline will really hit Helen and Adam hard; there are some scenes coming up that will explain how and why it happens. But, it's a fun messy, like you said! When the truth about the affair comes out, it will create even more chaos.

Well, I'm glad that you're liking, for the most part, the fall out from Leah's death. The reason I brought Meggan back to the series was for this pairing. At first, because Leah's death was still a ways off from happening, I put Meggan in the Vinny/Daisy storyline just to give them something to do and to let the audience get familiar with Meggan again. But, this was always the long term plan. I just loved the idea that Jeff would hook up with the woman that killed his dead wife's son. Obviously anyone associated with Leah would be horrified! I'm glad it's working for you, though.

Within respect to Robbie, his blaming Jeff goes much deeper than just Leah dying. He was married to Leah and she cheated on him with Jeff. Paige was his daughter until the truth came out and Jeff "took" Paige from him too. So, in blaming Jeff for Leah's death, there's years of resentment built up. He's just finally lashing out - not that it justifies his behavior! But, it is fun to write him with more of an edge.

When Felicia's memory comes back, there will be more ramifications. Without giving too much away, Robbie will plot revenge on Bob as well!

I love drunk Andy! Obviously, like anything, this will probably get worse before it gets better.
