Does anyone feel the love?

I sure don't. To me, they look like two deer caught in the headlights. They don't appear to have even met.

I don't get it.

Billy Miller (soon to be ex-Richie Novak, AMC) should be transplanted to OLTL to assume the role of Jared. He would not only make this role, but he would add some steam-factor to the Natalie / Jared pairing. As it stands, it's hard to tell what's making Natalie so hot & bothered that she sent her family down the river. And John Brotherton just can't up the emotional stakes in his scenes. When he tries, it's like a fireworks show gone awry.

I think Miller could bring that kind of verve to the table.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I like them together and I think they have chemistry.

I think MA is doing an okay job of selling Natalie's feelings for Jared, but I sure don't see it coming back to her from her fellow actor. I'm adding him to my list of desired recasts.

When the characters have to say 'I Love You' it's almost like they can't keep a straight face. Nat and John were hot together, I'll never understand why they broke them up..

Oh, please for the love of all that's holy, never put Natalie back with John. He sucked the life out of her. Wanda Wolek

What you mentioned about Natalie being a twin to Jessica-I forgot. To me, this episode where Natalie chose Jar Head over her family just emphasizes that Natalie is not really Jessica's twin.

I certainly don't feel it, and never have. Natalie goes from being in love with John one day to being willing to ruin her entire family the next with someone she has absolutely no chemistry with. (I know I just ended a sentence with a preposition.)

I have known people like Natalie who live in the moment with no thought to the consequences. If the writers wanted to get really deep, they could explore that part of her life that created the huge void in her that makes her such a co-dependent. When she mentioned the other day that twins could feel each other's pain, I thought this is a great opportunity to explore Natalie's loveless childhood as a way to explain her actions. It wouldn't do it for me, but it would be interesting tv.

It would be interesting to see why Natalie makes all the wrong choices in love and then clings to them as if her life depends on it. IA that it has a lot to do with her upbringing. Wanda Wolek

I cringe every time Jared calls Natalie Babe or Honey. It sounds so phony and as if it came from his lips and not from his heart. I loathe Jared and I can't see this great love between them at all. ladfan

I like it when he calls her Sparky though. That nickname fits for some reason, maybe because he used to sarcastically call her that. Wanda
