[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Helen is now a real estate agent and it seems she is trying to dress differently for that?
I'm having a hard time with this season, it's hard to watch.

+1  Irène Jacob is a wonderful actress and the character is complex and interesting, but unfortunately I agree about the lack of chemistry.  Campus story is lame, ridiculous portrayal of interaction between profs and students--no way. Helen's unrequited loved for Noah is getting pathetic.  [b]Allison abandoning her daughter is plain stupid and unsympathetic.  [/b]Casting Brendan Fraser as the abusive guard was inspired, but the storyline is not.  I'll give it another episode or two, but I doubt I'll be hanging in there for the season barring some interesting pivot.[/quote]

She didn't abandon the child really. She felt that the child was in danger because she was having an emotional breakdown. Joanie's fourth birthday brought back traumatic memories of the death of four-year-old Gabriel, so Allison thought Joanie would be better protected by Cole. Cole and his wife took advantage of Allison's mental instability. Allison checked herself into a psych ward. I would not call that abandonment. She left her child with the father while she tried to get healthy, [/quote]  I'm not the person you quoted, but I have to disagree.  I think she did abandon her daughter. What would you call it if someone dropped a child off with you said they'd be back in a few days an then you hear nothing from that person until 6 months later when they suddenly show up demanding to see the child.  I think that qualifies as abandonment. I'm not saying Alison wasn't sick or that she didn't do the right thing by seeking treatment. But dropping off your child for what's supposed to be a couple of days and disappearing for 6 months and giving up your custodial rights, what would you call it if not abandonment?[/quote]

I disagree. Leaving a child with the other parent while checking yourself into the funny farm is a good thing, not abandonment. 
But I can't stand Allison. Why Noah upended his marriage for the fish lipped chick is beyond me. [/quote]
