Damn, certainly did not see Robbie showing up. This is going to have to call for a quick change of plans. I hope Robbie will play along. Everyone is about to be in for a big suprise. I can't wait to see what happens when Stef and Brad turn the tables and start going after the people going after them... I wonder why the people at Omega have been willing to fund what is basically a personal vendetta? Is there something else going on?

Watching Stef and seeing how everything developed was a real lesson in economics and personal relationships. So much of business is still who you know, this can be both a benefit and drawback as well...

Okay, I am starting to get really pissed at Brad. Robbie may have started this but Brad is starting cause more problems then Robbie did. That 65/35 split is about to start to shrink...

Well, I don't think that Brad is right and this is 97% Robbie's fault. I think it is split more 65% to 35% with Robbie being the larger piece. I do think some of Brad's actions have actually made the situation worse than it had to be, that being said, the drama has been great... I thought Grace and Brad played that just perfect. I can't wait to see what happens when the wheel turns... Plus, we still have not found out who the real person behind all of this is. I think that is going to be a whole other story...

If Brad sleeps with Matt before or after he gets back with Robbie; he will forever lose the high ground no matter what else happens. You just don't do that no matter what. JP is going to pull people and part of the story back to Claremont. I am so excited. I have always liked the action that takes place there...

Well, I think that Kevin will have a great time this Thanksgiving. While there are a few bottoms in the group, there are quite a few that are more than accomplished tops... I enjoy being able to see the extended family and getting to see the kids as well. Holidays at Escorial are never dull.

David is a great therapist. He doesn't just try and pull someone to his point of view. He works at letting them find out where they need to go. Brad, Robbie and Kevin were a hot combination. I don't know why I just thought of this but Kevin's last name is the same as Brad's bio dad. I wonder if there is going to be a connection there.

Much like Paya, I am starting to move toward Robbie's side on this. I don't think Robbie handled this well, but he was set up and played and now that he wants to really work on fixing this situation, Brad wants to keep it going to catch the guys out. I can see Brad's side but Robbie's as well.

Sometimes when you take a break you figure out that you really want out anyone, I hope this is not where Brad is going to end up being. I love how Brad played the scene with Keenan and then with Carson, maybe Brad should be in Hollywood more often and in a different role... Brad handled the situation with Will just perfectly. It is great that he is able to be so open and honest with his chilren. Wish more people could and would be like that...

I really loved how Brad and Darius had their talk and how they related to each other. Not suprised about Will at all but glad to see how supportive Darius is of him. I liked how Stef handled the situation with the mission and the kids there. No one needs to be preached at all the time.

I trust Cody on this. Along with what Robbie said Carson was doing, I think there is little doubt that whomever is really behind everything is trying to ruin everything that means anything to Brad. I don't think we have found the person behind all of this yet. Dan Church came from a family with some money but not like what it would take to pull this off. There has to be someone else in the mix...

It truly is sad how many children fun off to LA or New York or wherever thinking that they will find this great place that will accept them and everything will just be sunshine and rainbows. What happens is that there are just people there waiting to take advantage off and use them. It can be heartbreaking...

Well, Brad destroyed the car, Robbie figured out who was behind the problems, Stef was a drama queen, and JP will try and fix everything. This was a pretty standard chapter. I really like getting even glimpses of the kids and even Jeanine...

I swear the second Robbie said that, I totally remembered. I can't believe I did not think of it before; really can't believe that Brad did not... WOW...

Damn, I want Robbie and Brad's mid life crisis... Cancun, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, and now Hawaii; this is just so much fun. Waiting for the next shoe to drop...

I have to think that Robbie finding out that Brad bought Kevin/Sergio a car would be a blow to him. Brad has never been like that really. I think the deal with the reporter taking the religious angle is just too funny for words.

Brad and Robbie still love each other; that has never been the problem. Unfortunately, love is not always enough. I hope they make it through but if not, who will each of them end up with???

I am afraid that Stef is right. Brad is a catch and if Robbie doesn't figure out what he wants and come to his senses then he may very well lose Brad. It is funny how well Brad reads Robbie but Robbie seems to be having a much harder time reading Brad. Is it guilt or does Brad just understand the situation better than Robbie?

Well, we haven't really met Carson yet but somehow or another, I think that Brad is coming out ahead in this deal so far. I thought it was funny how Robbie is in top mode all the sudden. I have to sort of wonder what caused this reaction. I love the give and take between Claire and Stef. It is just perfect...

Okay, glad that Brad and Frank had time to let each other know where they both stand. I can tell that they are both pissed at Robbie over this. I really think Brad should leave or at least make sure that he is never alone when he is near Matt. Brad and Sergio could be interesting...

Cody was great all the way around. He gave Brad just what he needed and helped him to understand at least to some extent where Robbie is coming from. Cody is also right about Matt. I hvae to believe that Brad would never be that stupid...

Well, you reap what you sow but I doubt that Robbie really thought that far in the future...

Well, I think that Brad was kidding but I am not so sure about Matt. I think he would sleep with Brad in a heartbeat. Like Brad, I was suprised to see Wade make his comment. I am glad that Robbie showed back up and they had the conversation. I still think this is going to be a really bad idea but maybe 30 days will work out okay...

Well, I just did not see this one coming. I would have never thought that Robbie would risk opening their relationship. I could sort of see Brad wanting this on some level but not Robbie... This just floors me. I guess having a couple of flops could make him think he needed to shake things up but why shake up their relationship. Something or someone else is behind this... Stef is right about the tech industry. I have to wonder how that will play out over the course of this story. Brad is right about the spy. I wonder if the issue with Brad and their company is linked to the issue with Robbie???

I really enjoyed this latest chapter despite the fact that Calvert was in it and actually handled himself well; will this man just never go away... LOL... I thought that Jacobs handled the situation with Winkler just perfectly. He knew that Winkler would be upset and let him go on without getting upset himself until Winkler had control of himself. I loved the comment about him thinking of Granger always stayed so calm and collected. I think the reason that Winkler got so upset to start with was a sign of how deeply he feels for Jacobs. Winkler cared for Jeffries but I don't think he ever loved him like he does Jacobs. I hope that Mark finds a way to keep them together and with Granger. I guess he will have to make sure Jacobs stays with him since I can't see him sitting home alone waiting for Winkler to return from the sea with Granger. I actually thought Calvet handled the situation with St Vincent about as well as could be expected. I think that Calvert has picked up some tricks from being around Granger so long. He isn't as smooth, and never will be, but he does handle himself better now then he did when the story started. Since Mark just refuses to kill the damn man off; I hope that he and Gatling have a long and happy union. They can even rejoin the fleet as St Vincent indicated that he would be quite happy with this. Of course, this means that Granger will need to be somewhere else other than with St Vincent but oh well.... I was glad we got to find out about those that Humphreys sent north to Goree. Glad that Calvert was able to get Baron Kingsdale, Andrews, and the others but hate that Lt Eastwyck was sent off before they arrived. I hope that Granger meets up with him in Paris or somewhere along the way to make sure he gets home as well.... I have to wonder who Granger will rescue or save while he is in Paris. You know we can't have a Bridgemont story without Granger saving some aristocrat or leader or some such person. It will be interesting to see Granger in Paris. He will be in the heart of the enemy and you just know he will get up to something good..... Great work Mark, and can't wait for the next installment.
