Additional Comments: Is it because she's close to Gigi or are we supposed to believe that the suddenly devious and underhanded Adrianna is now so shallow that she doesn't want Marcie there because of the recent scandal or because of her shape -- anyone else get that vibe?

I can't believe that, after what Marcie has done, that Marcie even expects to be asked to be in any wedding. Marriage occasionally leads to children. Marriage is also a legal bond. Marcie has shown she has no the the law, or for the safety of children. Marcie's presence would upset too many people - it would be a slap in the face in too many ways.

First once, Adriyawna actually has said something that makes sense.

I thought it was because Marcie and GiGi are good friends.

Like most of you all I was baffled by that as well. And I totally agree with the other messages and responsed bemoaning the intense b*!tchifying of Adrianna for plot's sake, when the way Rex and Gigi are developing it isn't necessary.

That really came out of left field, didn't it? The pre-Paris Adrianna would never exclude Marcie from her wedding. MG played it like the excuse Adrianna gave Rex - that she didn't want Marcie to feel uncomfortable getting up in front of all of Llanview; she's doing it for Marcie - wasn't the real one. The way she played it was that Adrianna didn't want Marcie in the wedding party because of Marcie's size. That is so shallow and so unlike Adrianna. It's like they need to make her so nasty, and shallow, and insecure that when Rex dumps her we will all be cheering. And it's unnecessary. I don't need Adrianna to look bad so I will be happy Rex and Gigi end up together.

I don't mind Adriana developing a bit of an edge -- she is Dorian's daughter, after all -- but there's no need to turn her into a raving bitch to make me root for Rex and Gigi -- Rex and Adrianna are still young and figuring out who they are as people. It makes complete sense that Adriana's business success would give her the confidence to be more ambitious and driven, while Rex is discovering his inner family man -- the perfect guy for Gigi and Shane. In fact, even if Rex wasn't Shane's bio-dad, I think he would still be interested in Gigi. -- Rhonda eom

Rhonda, that is what is driving me nuts about this story right now. You're right. What could drive Rex and Adrianna apart is something very real like her ambition. Why turn her into a nasty b!tch? Like you, I would root for Rex and Gigi even if Shane wasn't in the equation. But I don't need to hate Adrianna. Wanda

Wanda, the writers suddenly making Adrianna a jealous lunatic is having the exact opposite reaction on me. I have been indifferent to Adrianna for a long time, but now I am rooting for her. The more they demonize Adrianna and prop Gigi, the more I hate Gigi. I also think that Melissa Gallo is a better actress than FF. ladfan

It will take a lot to make me dislike Gigi, and demonizing Adrianna won't. I'm not rooting for either of them for Rex - mainly because I always thought Rex and Adrianna were sweet together. I just hate that Adrianna is shooting herself in the foot with this need to know who Shane's father is. She's proving herself to be her mother's daughter with these actions. Wanda

LADFAN ... ICAM, Melissa Gallo is a far superior actress to FF .... the latter tneds to pout at the camera and cannot seem to effectively portray a broad range of emotion!

Bess, FF has a lot of annoying mannerisms like pouting and biting her lips which she seems to think pass for acting, ladfan

Considerng the way Adrianna has been treating Dorian et al lately, I doubt that she'd exclude Marcie just to placate the "Cramer Women". My guess would be that Marcie does not posess the look Adrianna wants in her picture-perfect wedding album.

She's afraid Marcie will show up in that big hair wig and dress from the transgender nightclub and break into song.

Starfish, this is my thought too. Luna

Adding: In the past, Adrianna was not like this, only recently. It's quite a turn-around for the character which I don't appreciate since I've always liked her. Luna

I thought it had to do with Blair and her anger at Adriana & Rex for keeping Marcie's secret. I figured Adriana was just choosing Cramer loyalty over any affection she had for Marcie. I also got the impression she considers Marcie "unhinged."

The Cramer loyalty did not matter the whole time she was keeping the secret about Todds son.eom (Lori)

If Adrianna is choosing the Cramers over Marcie, why doesn't she just say that to Rex? It's a good reason, and one that Rex would understand. But she never brings up Blair. Wanda Wolek

I got the strong impression that it's probably because of Marcie's appearance since Adriana definitely takes after her mother.

Yeah, Adrianna takes after Dorian -- but only in the last month or so -- it's too drastic of a character turn. -- Rhonda eom
