God knows you have a lot going on just with your fan fiction. But may I ask what your plans are for this story?

Am full of joy at the idea of Craig being Fred's "indentured servant" looking forward to what Fred will have him doing. Who was Fred talking to?? Sounds like some games are afoot. can't wait!!

So Nancy is now working with Gardner and his wife huh? All sorts of interesting things will be happening there I'm sure. Unsuccessful naturally, but should be amusing and equally frustrating to see. They'll gain an inch and fall back a mile. Love seeing that. The idea of Lindsey and Gardner though....ick!! She and Gardner are in for a hell of a shock when Brian eventually sees Lindsey at the office. Kinnetic will be started sooner than he thinks I bet. She's definitely going to try to put some cogs in teh wheels at the office, but again, can't see it being particularly succesful. If she tries too much, Gardner will end up losing clients even before Brian leaves. Lindsey is going to cause him to loose a TON of money in the end. 

Thank goodness Ron is out from her clutches. to think he's just been waiting all this time. His martyrdom will eventually be rewared I'm sure. Not however with Belinda. He learned his lesson with Nancy, pretty sure he's not going to take on Nancy 2.0.

The nephews may prove to be an interesting addition to this new family. I'm sure they will eventually end up there permanently. At least I would hope so. Joan is in for a shock! Hopefully the boys don't give them too much grief and lean quickly who the actual good guys are. Feel bad for them, as they are just a product of their environment. A change of that environment is sorely needed and fast!

Wonderful!!!! So much happening!

Cheers,

Elaine

Hey Elaine!

Craig is definitely going to understand the true meaning of 'indentured servitude' and you'll never guess who is responsible for his new plight. I listen for the virtual cackle you're going to have!

Nancy is indeed joining forces with Gardner, but she better watch out for Belinda Ryder, who is Marty's wife and her 'friend.' But when you live as a crab in a bucket, one better be careful about who's looking to pull you back down when you climb too high. And Belinda is definitely ONE of the crabs! I have a feeling that Ron has his own plans in the works to be too worried about Nancy 2.0.

Lindsay and Gardner...well isn't that a match made in HELL. But nothing is ever cut and dry, and their road of revenge definitely won't be smooth. After all, Cynthia, Marcie and Murph are there....just saying! LOL 

I have to admit the arrival of John and Peter in this capacity has surprised me in a really interesting way. Brian will really get to know them, and in turn, they will learn what is fact or fiction regarding their mother and grandmother's rants about their Uncle Brian. Justin, Mel and the 'true' extended family will definitely help to dispel the myths.

Glad you continue to enjoy this story, Darling!

Happy Reading,

I have to read this over cause I got lost. But that means you'll get all new reviews too - we'll both be winners that way! TAG

Jennifer handled Lindsay so beautifully that I want to hug her for saying it and you for writing it, Lindsay you can't out WASP Jennifer, child you aren't even in her league *roflmao*

Glad that Justin is fined the inner strength to start to believe in himself again, I think the pottery could be quite useful and it might just help to strengthen Justin's hand.

George is related to Jennifer?!?!

I do did not see that coming and yet I Love It! I can't wait to read about Brian finding out about that and George seeing Justin.

I hope Ben heeds what Cynthia is telling him about Michael I mean she would know the full story and not just the edited version Michael spewed to Ben to make himself look good, Michael like Lindsay is a manipulative little dirtbag who loves when all the attention is solely focused on him, also like Lindsay he likes being waited on hand and foot when you step outside the bounds of they put you in, they get all huffy and talk or whine you to the point where you feel like you were wrong all along.

Brian is going to go off when he finds out what Michael did and said Deb can't protect Michael and she shouldn't, I look forward to finding out what Ted is about to do.

Thanks for a Wonderful Chapter. Can't Wait For More.

Okay Deb, Michael and Lindsay are working my last nerve I want to smack all three of them, they are all such Selfish A-Holes they I swear I can feel steam coming out of my ears, I can't wait to read what happens next especially to the three selfish brats, I have always wondered why the writers didn't explore the repercussions for Hobbs more instead of that lame court proceedings, thanks for going deeper and improving what the writers ignored, I hope Brian and Justin will be getting a break soon heaven knows they need it. (Your writing is good enough to make me like Mel and I never really liked her lol)

Author's Response:

Hey Blue!! I find myself having the same reactions but yeah all three of them have their selfish moments. In Debbie's semi-defense, hers are ALWAYS in relation to Michael's. I think she made Brian's friendship with Michael obligatory and beholding in so many ways. I'm glad I'm getting a chance to rewrite that particular dynamic this time around. With Vic and Carl's help, she'll cut the umbilical cord which should have been discarded long since.

I'm also happy to delve into the entire PTSD/ Trial arc! It always bothered me that they just 'accepted' the slap on the wrist given to Chris for what was basically attempted murder. I felt like had Justin dies, Chris still would have been given the barest minimum as a sentence with the rest served in parole, which would have taught him that it was okay to do what he wanted to another human and because he's well off, the laws of the land really don't apply. Believe me when I say that his punishment will certainly fit the crime this time in more ways than he bargained for but unfortunately I have to make B&J suffer a bit more to do it. The ends will justify the means though, I promise! *Hint: I never bought that B&J's problems after the bashing was solely because of Brian's non-communication. There had to be other unresolved feelings as well from Justin as well. And Ethan fit into that era of Justin's life.

Mel won't always be good nor will she always be bad. In fact, I really thought her and Brian could have really developed a mutual respect for each other if not a solid friendship had Lindsay not been in the middle playing manipulative mindgames. No the work isn't entirely Anti-Lindsay nor is it Anti-Michael (no matter how much I'd like it to be) but this part of their personalities which was swept under the rug far too often and for far too long, is what I'll have the most fun exposing! 

Happy Reading and HUGS,
