Old H&A Fan Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 Uh-uh. No. Sorry, but these things don't "just happen". Quote
Red Ranger 1 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 Well, obviously you have to do something for them to "happen", but not every pregnancy is planned.In soap operas, almost no pregnancy is planned. 1 Quote

Old H&A Fan Posted January 14, 2017 Report Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Very ambiguous throwaway comments. Yes. How convenient. Ambiguous indeed. And we're supposed to be able to make sense of how Christopher "happened" (despite the so-called life-and-death risks they seemed so sure about). Edited January 14, 2017 by Old H&A Fan Quote
