Topic: So are we going to be watching *P.S. I Love You? Part 2* SPOILER TALK

The spoilers indicate that Katie will be visited by ghost Brad.  I really hope that we won't have another "P.S. I Love You" story on our hands where the ghost of the dead hubby (through pre-written love letters) guides his widow through her grief and teaches her how to live again.  The premises was sappy and without the smoldering looks of Gerard Butler, I don't think I can sit through Katie "learning how to love and live again".  Didn't we go through this when Simon left her the first time?

In a masochistic way, I am very curious as to how long it will take for Katie to "get back on that horse".  And with whom she'll be paired again.  Since Katie is one of the few women who actually work on this show, I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up being one of the few women who actually takes care of her newborn on screen.  But we all know that the writers can not have Katie manless for more than a few weeks.  So I am curious as to how they are going to balance the envitable romance of Katie with her stab at motherhood.  Will the kid be forgotten like Snickers?  Will we watch another 30-something hunky male inexplicably drooling at the prospect of giving up bachelorhood and oceans of willing women for baby spew and a life time of being Mr. Fluffy?

For once, I am actually looking forward to seeing the progress of the Widow Fluff...in moderation of course.

Oh, it won't take long for Katie to find another man to get under. Isn't that what Jack's trip is about, at least partially, finding Katie someone to hump the hurt away?  I thought tragedy for poor Kate might make me warm to her just a tad- but I find I hate her as much as ever. After all this- she is still able to ignore the fact that her husband will never see their son is because SHE CHOSE to take on a known criminal alone? She had the nerve to blame Henry? She is just as sickening as ever.

Please. Katie PUT herself into Henry's idiotic problems. She took it upon herself, very pregnant- to meet ALONE with a person who threatened Henry's life- not bothering to tell anyone, even the detective sister she threatened to sic on Ralphie. She put herself and her baby in jeopardy because she is an idiot- she alone is responsible for Brad showing up at the warehouse- if Katie had not gotten herself kidnapped he would have no reason for being there. No one wanted or asked Katie to personally intervene with a gangster- she took it upon herself to do and so she is ultimately to blame for Brad's death. She created the situation necessary for it to occur. /dandyfop

I read the same thing as Katnim... Dusty and Katie will be paired up eventually. I think the Janet and Dusty thing will be shorter term, eventually leading Dusty to Katie, Janet fighting for Jack, and eventually ending up with Craig, where we've all suspected she'd inevitably be.

I am torn only in that I'm liking Rosanna and Craig WAY more than I thought I would. But I think since TIIC didn't ink CMcC to a contract, it's a given that Ro isn't going to be able to stay with Craig long term, which is annoying only in that deep down Carly doesn't want Craig, so if Ro is happy with him, I don't think she should be giving him up for her, since Carly belongs with Jack. And dang it, I'm actually liking Rosanna!

I have a feeling we are in for another myson story. I think that eventually Dusty will be the one to help Widow Fluff get over the death of Brad.

I read somewhere that that was the reason they sent Bonnie off to free Dusty. Afterall if it isn't women young enough to be his daughter he goes after then it is babys.

I dread the cheesiness of "ghostBrad" encouraging Katie to "live life"---blahblahblah.

But I'll admit, my heart is just a little happier thinking about KATE suffering.  :)

The Widow Fluff - I love it.

I used to work with a nurse all the others callled Fluff - in her case it was because she was lazy and tried to sluff off her work to us. Name calling was behind her back, of course.

Linny, if I never see another ghost on soaps it will be too soon! I could even handle, like, a voice-over of the deceased loved one giving advice or encouragement or whatever, but actually seeing the ghost is just so cheesy.

Right again MH.

You're outta luck MH. Per the spoilers, Ghost Brad is a comin'. And yeah, I think that it's pretty cheesy also. Although I actually can see that as being a realistic occurrance -- not that a ghost would appear, but that the voice of your recently departed loved one would materialize and give you advice. It happens with my recently deceased mother and my father who died more than 15 years ago. I hear them giving me advice all the time. HOWEVER, if we have to watch Ghost or P.S. I Love You -- part 2 I am going to gag. Seriously. eom Linny

It has also happened to me when my cousin got killed, I though I saw him after he died ,he was my favorite cousin ever. -cupcake_

That is interesting, Cupcake. I have known people with similar experiences but never had one myself.

Both my mother and my sister come to me often in my dreams. And I'm so glad they do. I always feel so good after I've dreamed about them./mm

My Aunt Lucy would often 'see' my father in her kitchen. When he was alive, he often brought extra groceries to her, as she could afford very little. When he died, she would hear him call out, ''Lucia'' - she'd turn to the sound of the voice, and see him standing there in the kitchen, grocery bag in hand, and then he would fade away. Now if the grocery bag stayed behind, I'd call that a miracle !!! /mia
