Sorry, but for me, everything you are saying is complete rubbish. For
starters, I never had sympathy for Alexis for withhholding the
information to Sonny. So right off the bat you are putting me in a box
I didn't belong in.
Secondly, if a "loved one" commits a moral or legal crime, it is not, in
my world anyway, in***bant on me to keep the secret. In my world,
things are out in the open and bad secrets aren't kept. But then I
wouldn't be with anyone for whom secrets had to be kept.
And as far as your last paragraph goes...between Carly and the
Quartermaines? Each is powerful so it could have goe either way. Of
course it put fear into Carly that her son might be taken away but in
those days especially, Carly was out for Carly. If you ask me, and no
one did, but in my opinion Carly didn't take on this mother of the year
role until years later.
