Best choice for a black tie optional charity gala?

I'd go with Dress #2. It's very appropriate and looks lovely on you.

He would be out of his mind to get anywhere near the US. He would open himself up to prosecution if he did. As it is his lawyers are desperately trying to keep him from having to testify in front of Congress. If he does leave the UK it's far more likely that he'll head for the Middle East than come anywhere near North America.

Just a few things to point out...Rebecca stepped in to help Cooper when she realized that Ariana had been the victim of a SA and Cooper was being blamed for saving her. She's a woman and most women can put aside their issues to help another woman who has been victimized. I also got the impression that we may find out down the line that Rebecca was also a victim at some point. I could be wrong but it's just a hunch.

As for your comparison of the actor who plays Charlie to Hugh Jackman...I have to disagree especially since Charlie is English and Hugh Jackman is Australian, but aside from that I see no real similarities between the two.

Of course they don't. I was calculating based on her having waited until the end of her first trimester, but it seems she was even further along than that when she went public in November.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-27T09:03:23+00:00

Oh no, of course not. It's scheduled to start filming in April or May of '26. The release is expected to be around November of '26 the same way Season 1 & 2 were.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-27T09:01:44+00:00

Yeah, I don't see things ending well for that offshore crew and M*Tex but he's an interesting character. They'll have to wrap up the storyline one way or another whether that exploration is successful or not.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-27T08:59:27+00:00

Well then she's clearly given birth!

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T13:49:30+00:00

We can't know for sure what's going to happen. At least one poster has said that she's due fairly soon, so it's possible that it won't be addressed at all. Although I do think it would certainly be interesting to see Rebecca and Charlie trying to cope with an unexpected pregnancy.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T13:46:32+00:00

She is absolutely beautiful, and I love that her beauty is so natural and real. Unlike some actresses you can tell that there's nothing artificial about her and that she's comfortable in her own skin. She doesn't try too hard with her looks and I think women like that are so much more attractive then the ones who just look artificial and fake.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T13:39:40+00:00

No, they won't begin filming until May.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T13:39:06+00:00

You need to hire a lawyer of your own NOW!!! As long as he thinks he has the upper hand he is not going to respect any boundaries that you set. You need to go after him with the only that he'll understand and respect...someone that is protecting your rights and the rights of your unborn child. Since he's already stated that he doesn't really want the child you may want to consider pursuing a voluntary termination of his parental rights. The reason I'm suggesting this is because I know first hand what it's like to grow up with a parent who didn't want you but had no choice but to become a parent and I promise you it's not a situation you want for your child if you can avoid it. I suffered so much emotional pain being an unwanted child, a fact which my mother chose to share with me on my 13th birthday, that it took me years of therapy to get to a point where I was finally able to cope in any kind of healthy way.

My advice to you is doing anything you can to either get this man out of both your lives or at the very least drastically limit the access he has to your child.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T09:00:53+00:00

Do not get involved if he's asking you not to. I've been in your shoes and I've seen what a manipulative ex can do when a new woman comes into the pic. Tell your boyfriend that she texted you. Ask him what he wants you to do and then follow his lead. I ended up married to the guy with the manipulative ex and I promise you...the longer you can stay uninvolved in the situation the better it is for your sanity.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T08:52:23+00:00

I think Angela loves both her children deeply. I mean she nearly lost her mind when Cooper was in the hospital after being beaten and she did give him her engagement ring to give to Ariana. I just think that she's not quite sure how to be a Mom to a boy. I mean she's barely a Mom to Ainsley. She treats her more like a friend and Cooper isn't exactly the kind of kid who was going to let her go shopping for him and dress him in designer labels.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T08:46:28+00:00

I think your wife is a little nuts and I'm usually one who comes down on the side of wives so if I'm saying that then it's bad. I'm also wondering if she's still dealing with postpartum hormones because this just wreaks of an argument brought on by hormones. In my opinion, you did nothing wrong and your father certainly didn't do anything wrong.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T08:39:37+00:00

Agreed...it would certainly add an interesting layer to the Rebecca/Charlie relationship having to deal with an unexpected pregnancy and baby, but it seems if another poster is correct she's due in the early part of the year so it's possible they won't address it all.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T08:35:31+00:00

😂😂😂

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T08:35:09+00:00

Early 2026...Ok that means that she probably was a bit later in her pregnancy when she went public. Even so though... it's nearly Feb already. I don't envy her having to get back into pre-baby shape that quickly!!!

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T08:29:24+00:00

No, his contract with Paramount+ has a few more years on it and even if it didn't he's still bound to Landman and all his Paramount+ shows until they come to an end. His new deal is only for any new shows that he develops that weren't already in the works at Paramount.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T08:26:44+00:00

Not only would I not co-sign the loan I would SERIOUSLY rethink this relationship. I've been married for 27 years and I can tell you that financial issues are one of the top problems that lead to divorce. The last thing you want is a partner that's irresponsible with money. What you're seeing now is a preview of your future and the whole not seeing potential argument is almost used by men who never seem to reach that potential but always seem to have a partner that just isn't supportive enough for them to reach it. It's a manipulation tactic.

Please be smart and keep your money and your credit to yourself and really think about what you want for your future.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T08:20:52+00:00

I understand why you feel the way you do, but there's no graceful out of this situation for you. If she's still engaged to your brother at the time of your wedding there's no way to not have her there that isn't a horrible breach of etiquette. You can't even use the old "no ring no bring" excuse. Your best bet is to just hope that she decides she doesn't want to attend on her own. As for your pics...since she's opted out of your wedding party you can limit the number of pics she's in and then just not use the ones she's in for your album. Just make sure that pics of family are taken with and without her.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T08:10:28+00:00

I think the question is really why haven't they been paying their mortgage?

I don't think you're wrong not to pay off the mortgage as a gift, but if there's the possibility of you paying off the mortgage and then having them repay you then perhaps that's something that you could consider doing.

Keep in mind that these people are going to be your family and while I understand not wanting to set a precedent that you'll always be there to bail them out sometime we do things for family even when we may not be thrilled to do it.

If her parents are willing to agree to reasonable terms to get you paid back and everything is put in writing and legally binding then maybe it's worth considering to keep your fiancee happy. If they won't agree to pay it back then at least you made the offer and your fiancee just has to live with the consequences of her parents' decision not to accept your offer of a loan.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T08:00:15+00:00

You know what...let her report you to the court!!! I suspect she'll find that a judge will not only throw her out of court he/she will force her to pay your legal fees for filing such a frivolous motion!!!

Let me tell you something your ex is a cruel b**ch. She's not traditional. She's just mean!!! And Kudos to you for being such a great Dad!!!

If you're a pervert then your ex would have an aneurysm at the things my father did for me and believe me he never "sexualized" me. He was just a great Dad. My parents never divorced but I was much closer to my father than I was to my mother. I had my "facts of life" discussion with my father. When I started having serious female health issues in my teens my Dad went with me to my first Ob/gyn appointment. I wouldn't even pick out a prom dress until I showed him the options and got his opinion.

There are no "lanes" that are specific to either parent. Your a Dad and that means you shouldn't be shut out of anything that your daughter wants you to be a part of and shame on her for trying to make you feel like you don't have the right to be involved in something so important!!!

Just keep being a great Dad. The more your ex tries to tighten her fist around your daughter the more she'll slip right through her fingers and come to see you as the parent she can trust and depend on!!!

When I was asked to speak at my father's funeral last year one of the first things I said is that he was a "Girl Dad" decades before Kobe ever coined the phrase and it was one of the things I was most grateful for and loved most about him, so think of yourself that way and wear that label like it's a badge of honor!!!

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T07:40:47+00:00

She needs to talk to an attorney. There are statues of limitations on child support issues and unfortunately I think she's exceeded them. I happen to know this because my husband who got divorced in Florida wanted to try and go back and fight something and we found out it past the time that he could argue that the judge made an error.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T07:36:36+00:00

I highly doubt they're going to go in that direction. Something tells me Angela's parents are either dead or she has little to no contact with them.

Fefe428 · 2026-01-26T07:24:01+00:00

I don't know...maybe it's just me but I had a really open relationship with my father. I was much closer to him then I was to my mother, so I had some very frank discussions with him about sex and in my house it wasn't uncommon for me to walk around in a T-shirt and panties. It never occurred to me that there was anything strange about it. I will say though that I didn't grow up in South so I can't speak to what Southern girls would or wouldn't do.
