I'll never understand that, and that's why I'll never work in television (okay, so it's one reason among many). I guess they're afraid we'll get bored? You'd think they'd have more faith in their excellent show, the ninnies.

*sigh* I really want to know how someone makes it to a position of sufficient power to affect programming choices like this, when it's so blatently obvious that it's the screwing-around-with-the-formula-that's-already-working-fine-the-way-it-is-thanks thing that causes people not to watch a show, you know?

Infidelity is just about my biggest no-no;

Oh, yeah. Definitely mine, too.

I'm more inclined to be understanding about murder (well really, who hasn't wanted to strangle that annoying neighbor with the blasting music and the noisy sex? I'm kidding. Sorta).

LOL Know that feeling.

I liked the way they were treating it- it happened, everyone's hurting, here's what happens next.

Yes! That was the only reason I found it tolerable, because we were seeing the part that you usually don't see (except in very earnest movies of the week on Lifetime) dealt with in a relatively mainstream show.

I want to see how they all move on, or try to but fail, or whatever. I want aftermath, because we never get to see that part of the plot. Stupid PTB.

They really are. >.<

Are you the same Aithine who wrote (or cowrote) "Closed Shoulder" and "Cross Up"?

Yep, I wrote Closed Shoulder and my writing partner (veronicaluv) wrote Cross Up. (We kibitz during the planning and editing stages. *g*)

If so, I really liked those, particularly the way you treated Martin's state of mind. His caution and second-guessing in "Cross Up" really rang true. Ulterior motives!Danny also seemed to fit the character perfectly.

I'll pass this along to Veronica. :)

Good luck with your writing!

Thanks! :)
