I bet my favorite DVD to anyone who can answer the below question.

When was the last time you can recall an AMC preggy delivering a baby without health complications, marital havoc, unstable enviroment, DNA fiasco, etc, etc...?????

My guess would be when Ruth had baby Joey a/k/a Jake on Christmas Eve/day (labor started on Christmas Eve but he was born after midnight).  The li'l miracle!

Next one would be a few years later...when Donna Beck Tyler Cortlandt Sago gave birth to the ill-fated Palmer John Cortlandt.  The birth was okay as I recall.  Of course the baby died in a fire..the following year...when The Chateau burned down and Donna was performing (she was a singer) there and baby Palmer John (Johnny) was in a crib in her dressing room (put there by Dr. Chuck Tyler who was supposed to be watching the baby ..after Donna's marriage to Palmer ended) but there was an emergency at the hospital and he dropped the baby off in the dressing room while Donna performed...she didn't know...the baby died in the fire.  Sigh. 

(if ya' don't know the baby was Chuck Tyler's not Palmer's...Donna was no longer married to Chuck when they did the deed in a cave in Switzerland...you read that right....anyway...she was married to Palmer...and Palmer know that wasn't his baby.....at the time he still believed he was sterile...from a riding accident years earlier..we're talking horses not motorcycles..that's why when Opal was pregnant he was angry with her...but she hadn't been unfaithful so Petey is Palmer's...his sterility cured itself...but Johnny was Chuck's.)

Okay do I win anything and why is it YOUR favorite DVD..how about MY favorite DVD?  Okay I don't have one...so I'll take yours!  LOL....

  • Well I guess baby Johnny doesn't count..that did wreak havoc on the Cortlandt marriage...I was thinking a baby born without complications....sorry...the 2nd one doesn't count but I think I'm right on the first onje but now I see that somebody answered the same thing before I did...so no DVD for me, I guess....darn I was so excited....SORAS
  • Ahhh SORAS so sorry about the marriage havoc fiasco. Yet I will give you one of my favorite DVD's just for having an excellent memory.:) You are now the proud owner of ''Sleepless In Seattle'' :)eom Suds

    It has been awhile, hasn't it? And I would worry about any PV baby that was both healthy and born in wedlock. A kid like that wouldn't generate storyline and so would have to be killed off....or made to vanish, like Bobby Martin in the attic!

  • LOL, yes that poor baby wouldn't stand a chance in PV. The town only welcomes little one's who have a '''big cross'' to bare forever. :) eom Suds

    I was thinking maybe when Opal had Petey?

  • If I remember correctly, she had Petey on the couch with Palmer coaching. People in PV can travel at light speed to get around, but can never get to the hospital on time. (or to the invitro clinic) Peggy
  • Yeah, I do remember Opal wailing while giving birth at home and with Palmer coaching :) eom Suds
  • Yeah they can travel at light speed to get home in minutes from the Caribbean or Europe but how LONG did it take for that ambulance to get there the night Adam collapsed? In commercial time folks travel the globe but never have a heart attack or you'll die waiting help. eom/
