So Alec won I wanna Be a soap star. He will be taking over the recast role of Del. The name rung a bell but I'm not quite remembering him. I wonder who Prudence would have played if she had been the one selected.

mini hijack
I have to admit I wanted Prudence to win last night. I thought the scene between her and Cameron was amazing. Seriously I was bawling my eyes out during their scene. I got slightly teary eyed during Alec and Alexa's scene but only because of Alexa.

I also thought it was awesome how supportive Cameron was too Prudence right before their second performance.

I love that Kendall wants to be Greens surrogate. I wonder how they will make Ryan react to that? I wonder how long they will make Ryan gone? Will he get the shock of his life when he comes back and finds out Greens miscarried (I hope he isn't an ass about it either) and finds out that Kendall is now carrying their baby.

Does anyone else get the feeling that the surrogacy won't be all it's cracked up to be? What I mean, is it is a soap opera there is always conflict in someone marriage, no one stays married long on these shows. I have this funny feeling that something will happen and Kendall's eggs will be fertalized with Ryans sperm instead of Greens eggs. If not, I should be a soap opera writers. LOL

I think that would be great! And a built in story line to get Kendall and Ryan back together which I've been wanting to see for a long time now. I just loved them together.

OR, Kendall will just go completely nuts and try to keep the baby for herself. I mean, her mom stole a baby, who's to say she won't too? I would HATE for that to happen and I hope it doesn't, but you never know with these shows.

I think Rebecca Budig is leaving the show, so Kendall will end up raising the baby.

I don't like Greenlee on the show, but I think Rebecca Budig and Bachelor Bob are just the cutest things ever.

I think this whole storyline is stupid. Ryan has mental health issues in his family. Why would anyone want to perpetuate those kind of bad genes? Selfish on Greenlee's part. And... if she hadn't been so selfish Ryan wouldn't be (pretend) dead!

I hope Kendell has quadruplets. Would serve 'em both right!

I have to disagree...

Just b/c you have mental health issues doesn't necessarily mean that you will pass it on to your children. Yes, if you have bipolar disorder you have a greater risk of your children being bipolar but remember they (the child) still has the other set of DNA.

I say this because my grandmother has had mental health issues (depression), as had my mother, brother and I was at a time diagonosed depressed). It doesn't meant I don't want children, because I do. Yes, there is always the fear that your child won't turn out perfect, but you handle it and move on.

I know it's a soap opera, but if my husband went and had a vasectomy behind my back, I would have been livid. Not that I would have gone out and stolen his sperm sample (LOL) but I can somewhat understand Greens reaction to his announcement. That is not something you just do without consulting your spouse (IMPO).

Are you being serious right now? So people who have mental health issues shouldn't reproduce? Wow.

LeslieAGD · #8 08-20-2005, 10:55 AM

PM_Mama00, let's HOPE she meant that Greenlee is selfish because Ryan believes his issues will be passed down to his children and therefore doesn't want kids...NOT that people with mental illness in real life shouldn't want and have children.

I KNEW that wasn't Dixie!!

blueangel · #10 08-20-2005, 12:40 PM

Do we REALLY have to get into this debate? This is a SOAP OPERA!

Suffice it to say that the odds of having a child with mental problems is very, very, very great in this case because the father and ALL THREE boys had mental illness. It wasn't just one person in the family-- it was THREE-- two siblings out of three-- and we don't even know if the sister has depression too.

So no, if I were Greenlee, I certainly wouldn't take the chance of bringing another human being into this world to suffer when the odds are overwhelmingly against a healthy child. At the very least, the two should have gotten genetic counseling.

And... Ryan continually said he didn't want children. He made no secret of that, but selfish Greens went and did it behind his back.

ASUADPi · #11 08-20-2005, 12:47 PM

But yet your debating...

blueangel · #12 08-20-2005, 01:33 PM

Not debating, just setting the record straight.

It was implied that I didn't believe people with mental problems should be allowed to have children. That was a false implication.

Now... back to our story...

I knew Di wasn't Dixie!! But I didn't see this half-sister thing coming. That was a good one.

I remember Adam mentioned it brieflywhen they did the DNA test. I guess it was "foreshadowing"

I had mixed feelings about it -- didn't know what was going to happen but I do have to say that I am really liking the idea of it. How do you think she will get busted by everyone?
