Subject: I agree with you both, Fish, and LH. I too am a bit aghast that more people (particularly BLAIR) are not coming down harder on Starr right now. I don't see her as a "victim" of big bad Todd as much as I see her irresponsible and impossibly immature behavior over the past few days! (click)
In reply to: LH 's message, "Thank You, Fish. ICAM---While I agree that Todd was a bit over the top, I was more horrified by the fact that during Starr & Cole's sex talk, NOT ONE WORD was uttered about safe sex and/or protection...Hello, these are 21st Century teenagers here (click)!!" on 10:48:13 03/12/08 Wed

I too, was so relieved that Blair FINALLY made mention of the fact that it was STARR'S CHOICE to go over to Langston's with Cole and that she put herself in the position to be found by (and embarassed by) Todd. I thought Blair would NEVER say it!

It seems the only reason that Starr is even talking to Blair is because Blair is getting her what she wants (not going to Hawaii, trying to talk Todd down, etc.) The minute Blair called Starr on some of her actions and demanded she take some of the blame, Starr went ballistic and accused Blair of "taking Todd's side". Sorry, that is WHACKED and UNACCEPTABLE! Starr is pitting Blair and Todd against one another. Can't Blair see that?

I remain shocked at Blair's fairly nonchalant reaction when Todd point blank asked her if she was ok with Starr and Cole having sex. Blair's response of "nothing happened" and "Starr loves him" and "they may be young, but they're in love" was NOT OK IN MY BOOK! As Fish and LH have said, not one mention of protection from Blair!! At least Todd is advocating abstinence!

I also wonder how Blair will feel when she realizes Starr lied to her. Maybe she won't even care as she appears to not be that upset that her 16 year old daughter was planning on having sex with no protection. Instead, she (Blair) is mostly upset at Todd's behavior and if it is traumatizing Starr. What about STARR'S BEHAVIOR?????

I sure hope Blair's stance begins to change a bit as this story continues. It seemed from yesterday's ep that she is starting to call Starr out a bit -- thank GOODNESS!

I agree that Todd's methods are extreme, but everything he is doing is being done to protect Starr. Blair isn't doing her daughter any favors by telling her things like, "you have nothing to be ashamed of no matter what happened last night." Uhh, I beg to differ. If Starr had sex at 16 without even considering or talking about protection that she most certainly does have something to be ashamed of!

[> [> [> And what about Cole? Other than Todd beating him up a little ain't nobody said 'boo' to that weasle. Neither Nora or John know what circumstances Todd found them in, but man, shouldn't they, like ask. Or something? And I think OLTL missed an opportunity with Gigi to really delve into how hard it is on a single teenage mother. Yes they hinted at it but what we mostly saw was a plucky girl making it on her own. I hope she at least has a convo with Starr in which she tells her how hard it really is, with lots of details and angst -- Fish, 13:40:51 03/12/08 Wed

[> [> [> I think Blair is faboulous Mother,Blair told Starr by her choice to go over Langston with Cole put her in a bad situation and then Starr was going to ran out the door sometimes you can help children out by simply showing them love instead of hammering on down. Starr told Blair they did;nt have sex .i did;nt want Cole and Starr to have sex either but i also did;nt want todd to go crazy on everybody,when Blair finds out Starr had sex i think Blair will be upset.Blair has to be strong to keep Todd fro doing stupid Stuff.Blair Rocks. -- shelia, 10:27:29 03/13/08 Thu

[> [> [> [> [> I bow to Blair too. It's more like she has 3.5 kids---Todd can immature & child-like at times, but he is ALL MAN in all the most important ways..lol!!! -- LH, 17:02:16 03/13/08 Thu

[> [> [> [> I think both Todd & Blair are good parents--most of the time. In the scheme of Daytime parents & family units, I think TnB are the BEST of the bunch!!!! It's just that sometimes their self-absorption & egos muck up the works. -- LH, 16:58:27 03/13/08 Thu

IMO Kassie,KA,TSJ,and BB are doing excellent work with this teen story. I also think Blair will get where Todd is coming from a little more after she realizes they actually slept together. Blair was very much in shock when she first believed Sole slept together but then she believed Starr's lie.

[> [> [> [> [> [> IA w/you, Gannet. I think the acting is phenomenal in this storyline. I have called the comment with much praise to all involved. TSJ, KDP, & KA in particular have been riveting & are really hitting it out of the park together!!! I also believe that T&B will be more in sync again once Blair learns what really happened & that Starr has lied to her. D-Day is coming for Starr! -- LH, 03:36:13 03/14/08 Fri
