I suspect the ultimate answers will surprise you, but I'm not sure how soon I'll be able to tease it all out.

JJ has always been self-absorbed. The problem is that he doesn't seem to see how that is driving away all the people who are important to him.
-
Thanks Gary. Seems there's widows everywhere. :-)
-
Why thank you! I had a good Christmas and New Year's, and it knocked me off my posting schedule, but I'll get back at it.

I really don't think there's a chance in hell that Brad would get custody in a protracted battle, but guardianship can be different than custody. In any event, he'd probably still lose that one. My guess is that this is something of a warning shot Buzz is leaving for his father.

April 3, 1800 London, England Granger followed the Lord Chamberlain, Lord Salisbury, down the corridors of St. James Palace until they reached a closed door. Granger recognized this door, as it led the way to the same room he’d been ushered to before when he’d had private audiences with the King. While Salisbury scratched the door to announce their arrival, Granger glanced quickly at his reflection in the mirror, to make sure that his uniform and appearance were in good orde

I'll actually chime in on this one and say that Stef is not the evil one here. He just has issues with himself and others.

Black Widow (Story Discussion)
Mark Arbour replied to Mark Arbour's topic in Mark Arbour Fan Club's Topics
That's a pretty bad sign when Buzz doesn't want his family to be responsible for Dally, but then again, he did let Dally live with them at the Ranch. Kind of a cowardly way to handle things, at least from what we know so far, to leave it to Brad to try and save his son. JJ doesn't seem to realize that he's going to end up very alone if he doesn't get his shit together. -
Bug away...that's your Christmas present...a new chapter.

I do believe you are correct!

So many balls in the air...so to speak. :-) Have a great holiday!

Chapter Thirty-Nine August 27, 2003 New York, NY JJ Trying to figure out what to wear on my date with Patrick was really stressing me out. I’d tried on about fifteen different things, and none of them made me look the way I wanted to look. I wanted to look innocent yet sophisticated. I wanted to look boyish, but still project the image of a sage. I wanted him to want me, but I didn’t want to look slutty. My phone rang and I ignored it, but by t

Emoji-mama!

Thanks so much for the review. I actually think I'm more like Brad than Will, but in any event, I largely ignore unfounded negative feedback.
-
I'm not following your rationale on the personal growth deal, but that's alright. But I really don't know where you got the idea that Will has been anointed as JP's successor. I think his relationship with JP is actually rather special. JP thrives on helping this brilliant young grandson of his grow up, while Will needs his calm guidance to accomplish that. That they are close and share a deep bond does not mean Will is going to be the next 'Dauphin'. In any event, I think Brad and Claire would have something to say about that, and before they even got to voice an opinion, Stef would certainly assume that he'd inherit that mantle if he outlives JP.
-
I think that Will, with his temper such that it is, has latched onto JP (and to a lesser degree, Wade) because their cool logic is refreshing, and because they can help him calm down and look at things clearly. I think of it almost like a person who has ADHD and can't or won't get legal drugs to help, so they smoke pot or snort Cocaine to self medicate. In this case, I think Will latches on to JP partly for self-medication.
-
Will's a lot like his father, so it's not great surprise that he's doing what Brad did. And he idolizes JP, so following in his footsteps makes even more sense.
-
He's not always out of control. You are left to wonder which "he" I'm referring to.
-
I think that's a pretty good call on the Stef's appointment as executor/trustee. :-)
-
Thank you! That is good to hear.
-
Thank you! Brad is finally stabilizing after what was 4 years of hell.
-
As the world turns, all my children.
-
He's pretty driven. Like his father
-
It is a significant commentary on Buzz's relationship with his family
-
That would make sense
