I don't get how anyone can side with Jack after what he has done. Leave out the priest issue, he's totally playing hot and cold with Paige. He knows Paige is in love with him, and wants to be with him. He sleeps with her, and then gives her the I'm confused spiel. A total sleazeball move. The stuff he said to his ex, he should've said to Paige. He treats her like trash. I hope Paige dumps him, and moves on. He needs to sort his head out and leave her alone. And tell his ex to leave Paige alone too.
Both are bad as the other and their whole storyline has been tedious. Should have just put Paige with Tyler and have had Amy nurse Jack.

Tyler and Paige would make so much sense, and Piper having a one sided crush on Tyler would add drama to it. But no. We have Paige give a new meaning for the word pathetic trying to win Jack over, and Tyler getting it on with a teenager. Smh.

I imagine this is exactly the reason , psychological rather thand medical concerns. If there are desires to have another baby then there is a greater danger of becoming attached to the one you are 'baking' even though it isn't yours and will then want to keep it. It's the same reason that they don't like it to be the first pregnancy for the surrogate as they can't know how they will feel through the process of pregnancy, giving birth etc
This whole story is daft. Mark and St Steph have only been together for five minutes and no one in their right minds would allow flakey Sonia to be a surrogate.

Apart from that, the whole family would be expected to support the plan whole-heartedly and Toadie is well past ambivalent.

It's not a question of sides - JAck should have kept clear of Paige but she should have kept clear of him - and she didn't. Remember the 'conversation' with God about taking 'her man'?

Whatever Jack did, Paige would not have accepted anything but getting her own way. She has not behaved well either.

The whole thing is getting beyond tedious now and the writers should draw it to a close, preferably before the annual break do it doesn't drag on into 2017!

The mystery man turning out to be a priest and so unable to commit to Paige was a good plot device but now the whole business brings to mind the saying about flogging a dead horse. Viewers have stopped caring what happens, so it's time to pull the plug.

But the thing is, she left him alone, finally, started to move on. He's been hot and cold for months. She got with Tyler, he was jealous and got involved, when it was none of his business. She started boxing, he got involved, and it wasn't his business. He slept with her and professed his love for her, and is turning on the cold on again. Initially she chased him and was pathetic doing it. But shes been 100% clear with him, she loves him and wants to be with him. He's the one sending mixed signals, has been for months, and is still doing it. IMO THAT is sleazy, and just plain wrong.

The whole surrogacy is a nightmare. It would be a hard situation for anobody with a great deal of patience, sacrifice and compromise involvedo and I don't think any of them are up to the job. Sony a talking about Breast feeding, even if only for a few days and then expressing, a bond will still format. Why not express from days? Then Stephen can feed from the start. And not gEttington Breast milk isn't the worst thing I the world. Some women can't no matter how hard they try. My mother couldn't and after me losing weight she had to start give ingredients me formula. I don't think i'my thick or stifiled in any way

Just one example

Really hope this Paige/Jack storyline is wrapped up smartly. I'm bored senseless by it.

And Piper/Tyler is so wrong. He's a 1991 tattoo on his arm so he's 25 and sniffing around a schoolgirl, just no.

I wish Steph would scrub up a bit every now and then....and brush her hair! The black jeans, vest, biker boots and jacket is just tiresome. :yawn:

Will Victoria might be the one to call a halt to this surrogacy? Steph saying how wonderful and understanding she is might come back to bite her.

As for the song and dance around Brad and his blood poisoning from the tattoo!! Oh Please!! Since when did Karl do the whole patient confidentiality thing!! Now he won't even discuss a diagnosis with the fiance and daughter of patient being in the room?? The excuse of it being a surprise is just lame when next of kin are so worried and panicky.

I know. I got a new phone yesterday and it is driving me nuts. Will probably take a while to get to grips with it. Apologies in the meantime.

Exactly. Paige is (and always has been) a self centred spoilt madam but Jack has behaved appallingly. She told him to stay away so there he was wandering into her house. He then whips off his dog collar and jumps on when she's half frozen to death. She's happy to get her own way and he's all conflicted AGAIN. He should have walked away and stayed away - he initiated the sex not her.

Paige and Jack need to get massive matching tattoos with the poisoned ink. Anything to make this storyline stop!

Angus is a thieving little scrote!

Is Mark and Steph's relationship really that stable to be considering a child, let alone something as huge and complicated as surrogacy? Has Charlie been completely forgotten now then? Isn't Steph going to at least fight for her firstborn? After all the Ari situation wasn't her fault. Will we see Sonya unable to part with the baby once it is born? I Am guessing so. I also think this whole surrogacy thing is how Toadie will encounter Dee. Maybe she will be the nurse looking after Sonya?

they'd need a reason too and no one knows it was poisoned
the reason is as brad told karl he had a recent tattoo and that was the likely source of his illness, karl asked if brad had been using new chemicals recently

I am also concerned about how strong Toadie and Sonya's relationship is - she certainly speaks to him as though he has no right to any thoughts of his own! Such a controlling person.

This is very true. In my opinion, in many ways I think their relationship is weaker than Mark and Steph's. I certainly don't see them as this strong couple I think we are meant to regard them as. If it was a reverse situation and Steph offering to be a surrogate for Toadie and Sonya I would have the same concerns as now.

Sonya was horrible again to Toadie today. I wish he would grow a pair and tell her to eff off.

Great idea, Sonia's mumbling and stuttering will go into overdrive and she could easily self combust

On a legality question, where would the current marriage stand? Dee must be his legal wife, or is she presumed dead and therefore has no claim?

It'll be interesting to find out why that nurse seems to have it in for Karl. I found it strange that she didn't tell him that she could smell alcohol on his breath when she was talking to him after Regan got brought in. Saying that though, I suppose telling him that would have made it blindingly obvious who reported him. I can't figure out why she seems to be making it personal. No doubt it'll be revealed soon. I wish Tyler would either just get with Piper or tell her that he thinks it's best if they keep their distance from each other. Tyler's just teasing her by looking at her romantically and then pulling away at the last minute.

It'll be the lack of breast milk.

Didn't Dee "die" in 2003 therefore she'd have been declared legally dead in like 2010 as I'm sure I've read somewhere after 7 years if your spouse has been missing presumed dead you can do that and move on. So although technically Dee is his wife, his marriage to sonya can still be seen as legitimate.
Btw when sonya came into it I liked her so much why did she become a boring shrew of a character

I wonder if there's a twist and it's actually David that's made the complaints?
