 When we saw that Aiden bugged the earrings so he could listen in on Greens with Ryan, I just thought how pitiful. If it's down to that, if he's reduced to that, then he's just lost all self-respect. I mean, is he that desperate? You either trust your spouse or you don't, and if you don't, the relationship is dead anyway. And Greens has proven that she can't be trusted because she continues to spend lots of time with Ryan, even after she told him they can't be friends anymore (yeah, right), and then they end up having these what-if type conversations, like that dumb one about the moon. My brother walked by during that scene and said oh, just get back together already, and he doesn't even watch the show. Aiden needs to say I'm done, go back to that loser or don't go back to that loser, but either way I'm moving on. Thoughts?

ITA In my opinion, I never preferred Greenlee with Ryan.  I thought Kendell and Ryan were a better match and I also like Greenlee with Aidan.  When will Aidan ever get the girl?  JMO

I feel very sorry for Aiden. Don't forget underneath his secret agent thing beats the heart of a poet. This is crushing for him.

I do not GET Greenlee AT ALL...I guess we're supposed to say love is so powerful..love is destiny...love is all this blah blah stuff but when you've been through what she's been through with men and Ryan in particular...it's not like Aiden is not attractive, sexy, intelligent, etc. He's not a bore...he used to be but when they hooked him up with Greenlee he got a lot cuter and more fun, I think...he adores her...he's a good guy building her her house...attentive to every word she utters..adores her...but she's got to pick Mr. Destiny. I hope it all falls apart for her. I'm mad at Greenlee. People can say well she cannot fight the pull. Baloney.

Greenlee + Ryan: yawn.

Greenlee + Aiden: more interesting.


On top of it all, Kendall gets to say, "I told you I told you" for the rest of their lives. Greenlee can never have another strong opinion because Kendall will always remind her that it was she who knew what was best for her and for Ryan when they both fought against it.

Yeah..it's great when people are married and your supposed BFF spends the entire time telling you you don't love your spouse and you should be with this other person. Pretty soon you're believing it, too. That's just wonderful. No commitment...just blow with the wind.

  • When Greenlee and Ryan get back together it wont last anyway, next thing we know Kendall will realize she wants him back and the whole stupid mess will start over again./goldie

    Seems like a good idea to me :)

    I saw a marriage counselor on Oprah recently who recommended attaching a GPS unit to your spouse's car and looking at phone records if you suspect something....this isn't really any different.  I think anybody here would look at cell phone records if you suspected you had a cheating spouse...what Aidan did was just a little bit more than that.  He could have hired a PI to follow her like people do in real life, but he took this route instead.

    Maybe Ryan's golden sperm contains heroin, so the girls are hooked after the first time, even the love of a really good man can't please them. They just have to have to go back for more. Maybe rehab would help. :)

    Agreed. I wish Aidan and Greens had never gotten together in the first place because I knew they would make Aidan be the loser. I think when they hired him they said 'let's hire this guy to play the loser over and over and over and over.'' It wouldn't be nearly so bad if the other guy wasn't stupid Ryan, someone I can't stand. He should have walked away the first time she went to Ryan.

  • I'm glad Aidan bugged the earrings (which I missed). After all, that's what his job is all about and he sure as heck doesn't trust Greens or Ryan. He needs actual proof so let him get it any way he can. Good for him I say. He should hook up with Annie.

    I wish Aiden wouldn't have done the listening device thing.  And, more so than that, I wish TPTB would not have gone back to a Greenlee/Ryan pairing.  I think the two of them are so boring together.  She was much better, IMO, with Aidan.

    Lately, I would be happy if Greenlee/Ryan/Kendull would all ride off into the sunset together, as the magnificent menage a trois.

  • ITA with everything you said. I hated Ryan/Greens the first go-around and I like Greens with Aidan. And Ryan as this irresistible force is just laughable. (Edward)
