I guess if you are entralled by the tropics, Love in the Maldives might hold your interest because it was a generic plot. Personally, I have always disliked anything tropical (including Hawai'i which is a paradise to everyone else) so I bailed as well. The story was so bland. Now give me something actaully filmed in Alaska (not using Canada, although also magical, as a stand in) and then we'll talk.

Well, the faux-fainting drama queen can't leave home. Who will carry her to her castle turret when she has one of her swoons?

Ranks right up there with Happy Pearl Harbor Day. Sheesh.

Nope. Spent my entire career in nursing. Unless he's a CEO at some small hospital, he's making $70K tops.

And I honestly think he believes his life is SO fascinating that the show would match MASH for the number of episodes. Narcissistic jerk.

And the sad reality of these situations is that the women cannot make it on their own. Obviously she needs to be away from that horrible man. But, while she will be safe, sleeping three to a single bed in a homeless shelter isn't much of a life, either. They were only married a short while and the kids were not his so she's probably not going to get any support from him. And, let's face it, a lot of judges then (and sadly now) believe women are subservient and should shut up and take whatever the man hands them including abuse. I'd like to believe she did OK but, in the real world and without family, she could end up working the streets or going back to him.

As evidenced by pockets in Appalachia with lots of families with crandiofacial anomalies and the Blue People of Kentucky.

While she comes across as quite intelligent, I think Augusta is essentially a sheltered young woman who will "fall in love"with the first guy that looks her way. Unfortunately, it's the Snidely Whiplash of Sanditon. And he will never, in my opinion, change his spots. If you have truly forsaken your evil ways, you don't need to say it to everyone you meet. I feel badly for the Duke's sister - her mom is a harridan and she hasn't got a prayer in hell since we know that the final outcome will be the mopey couple. Great recap from WGBH. The nicknames are hilarious.

While I appreciate that it was originally Jenny that was doing the narration and is long gone, I believe that Vanessa is speaking for all of the women as roles and times change, sometimes for the better and sometimes not. I look forward to her remarks and am delighted that VR is still able to do it.

And I think it's more heroic. She's doing it to please her parents at her own expense which was the norm back then. Plus she is taking into account the farmer's feelings. Although her family would certainly be better off if she hooked up with Mr. Moneybags. I honestly don't get any chemistry between them. All the mopey staring is just so teen crush.

Hopefully that's the end of smarmy Lockhart. Samuel to Xander: "She's magnificant". Seriously, dude? She's as lively as a bag of wet cement. I honestly don't see Charlotte's appeal and the longing gazes are getting tiresome.

And they had 15 kids so they can probably squeeze a few episodes out of them since two died young.

George IV who loved seaside resorts.

Rural Michigan - have never seen one anywhere. But, other than Walmart, there are no bakeries.

The Duke is kind of growing on me. Helping Jolly was really a kind thing to do. I see a connection there.
