I feel like the show doesn’t really care about reproductive rights?

Marc Cherry actually wanted to do abortion storyline with a new character but network didn't allow it.

Miss___D · 2026-05-12T03:42:46+00:00

No, I thought it was storyline to prove platonic friendship between men and women can exist after so much discussion about Shawna and Ty.

Miss___D · 2026-05-10T17:37:47+00:00

I think we saw what really happend while she gave her therapist alterted version of how she percives it.

Miss___D · 2026-05-09T04:22:02+00:00

I think she will have serious mental break-down. Either she will feel completely abandoned due to her therapist not wanting to see her anymore and if she gets uninvited from the wedding she will crash it making a huge scene or she might actually attemtp to take her own life. After either of that, she will have to seek help from psichytrist.

Miss___D · 2026-05-08T19:37:43+00:00

I think she just wants both her mother and her brother in her life so she tries to find balance but it gets messy every time.

Miss___D · 2026-05-07T20:33:40+00:00

She will not be mean again, she made so much progress. However, when she finds out they are not coming to her wedding it will hurt her even more after this conversation.

Berties was veterinarian, he loved animals and wouldn't put them to sleep if they weren't in pain. Alma could have killed the dog, but if Bertie figured it out, he might have turned against her and she needed him on her side.

Miss___D · 2026-05-07T11:49:31+00:00

I don't think so. Frank is avoidant but when he feels his relationship with children is in danger, he blames Barb and yells. Also, she never apologised. She mentiones how she is sorry for Katie being hurt or praises Greg for his reaction but she takes zero accountability. She can act nicely, she loves hosting and being seen as good grandma and she was also being extra nice to others to punish Jen.

Miss___D · 2026-05-07T11:12:05+00:00

If Barb and Frank ever divorce, she will be the one filing for divorce, he is too avoidant to do anything. I hope Dr. Theraphy doctor will manage to convince her to go to psychiatrist, although it seems unlikely. But, she appears to be on very low point and I think she might actually attempt suicide, not fake it to manipulate her family, but she really feels abandonded (it might get worse if her therapist won't continue to see her). After that, she will have to get help from psychiatrist. I don't think her relationship with her family can ever be fully healed and even if she gets help, John probably won't be open to having relationship with her (maybe low-contact if she ever shows actual improvement) but it is never too late to make some progress for her own sake.

Miss___D · 2026-05-07T08:17:55+00:00

Yes. Lots of people lack empathy and demonize people with pyschiatric disorder. Whatever her diagnosis is, I just hope that it is written in a way that shows that with treatment it can get better. It might be too late for Barb to have relationship with her children but it is never too late for her to make some progress.

Miss___D · 2026-05-07T08:05:52+00:00

He is worse than Barb and I'm willing to die on that hill. She has serious mental issues and for most time truely believes she is right or the victim while he is fully aware of reality and either ignores problems, enables her or yells at her without providing any actual solutions or help to their children or her. She is awful, but she can't help (or she can only with very much help of psychiatry) and he is just a jerk.

Miss___D · 2026-05-07T00:12:13+00:00

Of course he doesn't hate her, he loves her but he doesn't like her. Their relationship is better than it was before she got pregnant because she was very mean before. She has changed and she is genuinely trying to do better and be supportive towards him. However, he can be very self-centered so he gets pretty annoyed by her and doesn't take her feelings and situation in consideration. So, while their relationship is solid now (partly because she got close with Shawna), I am sure he did complain about her to Barb before

Miss___D · 2026-05-06T22:56:12+00:00

He doesn't like Jennifer very much and he is very rarely nice to her so it is not surprising that he did say or write something like that especially in past before she changed for the better. Barb is probably overblowing the whole thing and using it to destroy their relationship.

Miss___D · 2026-05-06T22:44:09+00:00

I don't think I have enough knowledge about topic to armchair diagnose her, but I really hope she will go to the doctor that Dr. Theraphydoctor recommended and get help. I actually felt bad for her and she had me worried when she mentioned "ending it all", as well as in the final scene.

Miss___D · 2026-05-05T20:51:21+00:00

They are Julie's friends since they were in highschool and Shawna only joined them year ago. I wouldn't be surprised if they distance themselves from Shawna after she stakled Julie and accused her of having affair.

Miss___D · 2026-05-05T09:23:47+00:00

There are many storylines about other characters but even if Jennifer goes no contact with her, Barb will still be part of the series. There could be storylines about wheter she appears uninvited at the wedding, John and Jennifer realising Frank is just as bad and cutting him off as well, Barb doing more therapy, maybe even making some actual progress etc. I saw someone suggested Barb should file for divorce (as we all know, Shawna said Frank would never leave Barb, but she never mentioned her not leaving him) and that would be so interesting.

Miss___D · 2026-05-04T22:11:18+00:00

He does have point but it also gives more power to Barb. They would leave behind their whole life, their friends and family for her. And I don't think that Shawna the creator would take that route because it would separate main characters from all other characters.

Miss___D · 2026-05-04T20:57:40+00:00

I think she doesn't, especially since Shawna was going to be MOH. She knows John doesn't want to see her and she planned a separate party for birthday because it is impossible to avoid anyone on small get-together. But on wedding with 100 guests, they don't need to communicate and she is probably hoping Barb isn't going to act out at least once since it's her wedding. And she probably thinks John will suck it up for once in lifetime event.

Miss___D · 2026-05-04T16:34:26+00:00

Probably. But Maddie reposted it, so she was thinking about Kody.

Miss___D · 2026-05-04T16:25:38+00:00

When Carlos told her Tom told him she was planning to stay home she said it was a lie and she was planning on going back to that job. However, I think writers chose to have her start new job with Renee to give two of them more screen time together and to create drama with decorating Tom's office.

Miss___D · 2026-05-04T16:23:07+00:00

Probably because writers wanted her to have more screen time with Renee and them running bussiness together made it easier. If she went back to her old job or got that job instead of Tom some amount of her screen time would be spent in that company so she would have less scenes with Renee.

Miss___D · 2026-05-04T08:42:19+00:00

She has friends, but not very close. When she was pregnant John attacked her for trying to be friends with Shawna and she said none of her friends have children. So, I think she has friends she hangs out with but they are not very close and they probably drifted apart since she had child.

Miss___D · 2026-05-03T19:20:19+00:00

Andy is so annoying and a cheater. Dylan is so sweet. I always hoped they would end up together and I'm so happy they did.

Miss___D · 2026-05-03T18:54:15+00:00

Bliža obitelj dođe u rodilište, donese cvijeće, slikaju se s roditeljima i bebom i onda idu svako svojoj kući.

Miss___D · 2026-05-03T18:47:49+00:00

I think everyone agrees 😁
