Additional Comments: Why are Colby and JR talking about Annie trapping Adam into marrying her by getting pregnant? What did I miss this time, I thought they already had the wedding planned and she told him she was pregnant to keep him from confessing to Stuart's murder. Adam told them he was marrying Annie months ago, where did this idea come from?

JR and Colby are jumping to the wrong conclusion here. They're thinking the worst of Annie, assuming that she used her pregnancy to ensnare Adam. That isn't what happened. Annie actually used the pregnancy ploy with good intent, to give Adam a reason to go on living. I think that she has great empathy for Adam, probably because she killed her own brother and understands how overpowering the guilt can be.

Annie's a complex character, but she's not as bad as she may seem. I see her as someone struggling to regain her life. She's trying to get back all the things that have been denied her... love, home, family. Nothing crazy about that!

Wow, understatment, I must be bitter or warped. Unlike you, I see very little or none of Annie selfless motives. I feel she finds Adam to be a ''cash cow'' and working very hard to cash in. She, even mentioned, that she has worked very hard to get what she wants and blames Ryan for spoiling everything. You are truly a kindd and open minded viewer. eom Suds

I certainly don't doubt that Annie likes Adam's money & position. She threw away Aiden for just that reason, because she saw more potential in what Adam had to offer. Notwithstanding I think that she HAS come to care for Adam genuinely, and that her feeling originated with her seeing him so devastated and befuddled after the killing of Stuart. Annie killed her own brother...and while sweet Stuart was of infinitely greater worth than psycho Richie, Annie suffered enough guilt afterwards to go insane herself. It's not really surprising that she should now be able to empathize with Adam's pain. That doesn't make Annie a saint---she'll never be that--- but it does show her human side. Also, the things that she wants, such as home and family, are natural things for her to want, given the circumstances. Understatement

Speaking of JR, I cracked up when he told Liza he wanted Adam committed, what a snot nosed brat he is, he already tried this once and almost wrecked the company. Why does he think he deserves a second chance at a new family with Marissa but Adam doesn't deserve one. JR is the one that needs to be committed to Oak Haven. And now he has Colby all stirred up. These two brats are nuts and also when has he ''worked his tail off to save the company''? Cancer sure didn't mellow him for more than 5 minutes did it?

They're just brats talking because daddy isn't paying any attention to them so they go around crying to anyone who will listen to them. If they're going to show the of Scott kissing Annie, they need to show the one of JR kissing her also. The bad part of this is that Scott had no clothes on so it makes it look worse. You're right, Annie didn't say she was pregnant until after Adam collapsed and ended up in the hospital.
