I wasn't claiming she's ugly. That's another poster. I think she's ok. But just ok. I also called her crazy cakes.

It's always the damn crazy ones, though. Guys can't seem to keep themselves away. Like moths to a flame.

I don't deny that he has feelings or possibly even loves her still. But that doesn't mean you put aside everything else and just act on it. Sorry, most people have a switch in their head that would stop them before they got down and dirty.

I don't think that is a 1950s mindset at all.

But, again, I expect the men in my life to have more sense than that. Apparently, the men on this show lack the ability to reason with anything other than a penis.


But if Allison is as "ugly" as you all claim she is (which is, quite frankly, laughable- I highly doubt the woman would have gotten to the top of hollywood if she was unattractive- or gotten the role. So often women do not understand what men find attractive) then he is not thinking with his penis alone. Surely if he was just thinking with his penis, his wife is attractive enough and he would just be banging her. It's about more than his dick, it's about love- love that doesn't go away even when someone royally screws you over.

It is, given the numbers of women who hate, loathe and despise Allison and go insane whenever Cole shows interest in her


haha, that's not the definition of "controversial". Anyway, there's like two banshees on this thread who repeat their hatred of her physical looks over and over.

That's just "tedious".

So the writers are doing their job. This is supposed to be a controversial show.

Yes, Louisa is being bitchy, but damn, I get it. She has this kid bombshell dropped on her after they get married. They had the diner entanglement already. They try co parenting. Then Allison loses it and bails. I do think they thought they were doing what was best for Joanie. And since she cannot have kids of her own...

Anyway, I just don't get why Cole would go there at this point.



I totally get it. Allison is a combo of the bad girl and the manic pixie dream girl. She's damaged and aloof, and will break your heart, and many men absolutely love that. Just like women love the male counterpart- why do you think so many romance novels feature the dark and broody dude with a bad past? There's something everyone loves about that person who is completely unavailable, and I actually think it's exciting to see a TV show depict the inner workings of that character, instead of just fetishizing them like in 500 Days of Summer or Elizabethtown or anything else.

Yes, they do this on purpose. I think it's accurate. The men all think she's looking very sexy, in these negligee things, and Allison just thinks she's wearing PJs. I think this is fairly representative of differences in men and women, especially someone who is very attractive like Allison

^^ Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. I find Allison homely and very unattractive looking. I agree with the pp that said she looks like a Simpson. I thought of Mr.Burns when I first saw her.

Cole and Allison both have blue eyes so it's impossible that their kid would have brown eyes. I can't imagine this was an oversight.

Did they ever officially confirm that Cole was te father? Or just that it wasn't Noah? One of Cole's brothers has brown eyes. Not the one that died.

On a bitchy note, I think Allison's duck mouth makes her look like Lisa (or Bart) Simpson.


Totally disagree that Allison looks like Bart Simpson, I think she's so beautiful, it's kind of distracting.

But I'm glad I'm not the only one who was totally distracted by Cole and Allison having a child that is of much darker coloring, (I didn't even notice the eyes, mainly the hair and skin too)

I get that there aren't that many child actors around, but you would think they could find one that vaguely resembled the parents she's supposed to be related to. I would expect two extremely pale people with light eyes and light brown hair to have a kid with the same- or even blondish hair that gets darker over time, as happens to nearly everyone. Instead they found a kid with mahogany hair and I don't know why it's so distracting to me... but glad to hear I'm not the only one who noticed.
