When she was taken from Nancy as an infant and placed for adoption. Often adopted kids have strong opinions on giving up their own kids for adoption.
I thought the same thing, then later she had it back on. This makes no sense! I had expected that she would wear the mask ans they would explain that the "new" Abby had plastic surgery, but no, she does look perfectly fine.
Felt like the rupture of an abcess, and now she is starting along process of recovery, I liked that it was the whole show, felt real to me, she was hiding and denying her disease so well, then she couldnt do it anymore and it all burst forth. And now the work starts.
It is laughable, but then we don’t watch Days for realism, There are Cable news channels for that. I love the utter lack of realitly and the consistent bad life choices, they take me away from the everyday craziness of the world for a while. I often look at some of my life choices and remind myself that I do make better choices than most of the folks on Days, (with the glaring exception of the orange drapes I once hung in my living room that went straight into the trash after I was snowbound for days). At least I never sold my baby sister on the black market!
She was indeed in a tough place and it was a tough choice, but she made it. As an adoptive mother, I am very greatful that my daughters birth mothers made that choice. I cannot see how anyone could condemn Maggie for making that choice, and as for lying about it, Maggie has felt shame about an out of wedlock baby because in that era, attitudes were different (going by the age Summer should be, not the age she is cast). Maggie is older than me by a couple of years, but until the 70s adopton was almost often done with agreat deal of secrecy. So I cannot see how this destroys Maggie
I was sucked right in and thought it was a real threat from Ben. Great job all around, acting, writting, photography and directing!
I worked in a big city pediatric ER in the late 60’s to the mid 80’s. The police were very rough and skeptical of even young victims into the mid 70’s. Then a group of women started doing workshops for the police. One policeman made the mistake of saying to a workshop leader "Hey, don’t women really fantasize about being raped? It couldn’t happen if they didn’t want it" They were standing at the catering table, and the woman grabbed a knife and brought it against his neck and said "F*** me, Mister" there was a pause and she said "were you thinking about anything but your own survival? Did you feel any desire?" We quickly saw an enormous change in police attitudes and treatment of rape victims.
