Hey Dallas,

500 Episodes !!! A major accomplishment for anyone. You and Michael inspired me to delve into he world of writing weekly web serial and so far I haven't been disappointed.

Cory & Natasha wedding without a hitch which I thought it could've went any other way. It seems that the two our happy and ready to start their lives together as married once again. Bob & Kim getting back together? I'm sure it will have drama and somehow he might play into the revenge against Dominick Although, I hope with Felicia's illness Tyler and Dominick will find some common ground. No doubt that it will be plenty of drama with all of these recent developments.

Dawn going to get examined is going to be a step in order for some emotional healing in terms of what happened to her. I did like Shelley being the one who brought it up.

Max & Cassie our truly mother & son when it comes to getting what they each want they stop at nothing to get it damn the outcome. I'm wondering if Adam is going to survive this attack. I can't wait to see how Helen & Dawn will be involved with finding out what happened to him and how if possible help with recovery.

Good Episode

Congratulations on this major accomplishment, Dallas! Your consistency really is something to be envied.

It seems fitting that the 500th was marked with Cory and Natasha's wedding. That's really a throwback to the early days of the series! I wasn't terribly surprised to see the wedding go off without a hitch, primarily because it feels like we're more at the beginning of a story (them wanting to adopt) than at the end of one. I was cracking up at Lukas being like, "Well, Donovan invited me, so I thought I'd just show up." He is truly an idiot!

I knew Max was going to pull something wild, but that was extreme! Like Bre said, he truly is Cassie's son. I suspect he's going to have some major regrets over this, though. It isn't like Robin will just decide to be with him if Adam gets seriously injured.

Oh, and what in the world is Kim planning, the way she was eyeing that fireplace?! I suspect there's a demented twist around the corner.

I feel terrible for Dawn, being put through this. I'm not sure a test will do much good at this point (How long has it been since the rape? Has she showered?), but it was nice that Shelley was thinking practically and wanting to take care of her.

Congrats again! Always excited to see what's coming next.

Thank you both so much! I can't express how much your support and readership means to me.

I did want the wedding to go off without any major drama considering the other events that were happening in the episode. I Thought it was a nice touch to have Cory & Natasha, the first real "big" couple of the series to remarry in this episode. A nod to the past, if you will.

Bob and Kim really are going back and forth with making up, breaking up. There are some events that are coming up that will be sort of a "deciding factor" for them. This will impact Felicia as well, so all of these pieces will soon come together.

And yes, I loved that Lukas line. Sometimes it's fun to have a character to write for that has his own head up his ass so much … so clueless. A character that people don't love to hate but just hate lol.

There is a fun twist coming in this story that will impact Bob, Kim, Felicia, Dominick and Tyler. It happens over the next couple of weeks! I won't say much but the boutique is really put through the ringer!

I too like that Shelley is the voice of reason with Dawn. Dawn needs that type of friend at this point in her life. Dawn has showered by now, yes. The rape, by now, is a few days old. However, it's not just about any type of sperm samples, but it's also just to ensure that Dawn doesn't have any STI's ect, or any other internal damage that could have occurred.

Yes, Max is certainly a chip of the old block! In his defense, I was just trying to prevent Adam from proposing … it's not like he thought Adam would get hurt and Robin would come rushing to him. That being said, Adam is hurt in some capacity as there was blood coming out from under the debris. More will be explained next episode … this is the beginning of a fun chapter of this tale!

Thanks again for reading guys!
