Where have I seen this before? Y'know, this thing where "honorable" John gets cut loose by his current GF and then chases after Natalie ten seconds later. Oh yeah, Evangeline did it and it's just as manipulative, transparent and insulting to me as an audience member today as it was back then. They try and make it so John looks like the good guy who was doing the right and noble thing, allowing himself to be committed/confined to his current relationship...only to wind up with Natalie because, hey...it was his other girlfriend who cut him loose. It was a con job five years ago and it's a con job now.

John and Natalie, IMNSHO, are a terrible couple. She deliberately turns into a annoying, needy little girl with him to enable his hero complex and other stupid idiosyncrasies, all for the sake of keeping him under her thumb. I also don't think Melissa Archer and Michael Easton have any acting chemistry with each other. Physically, they don't compliment each other at all on screen. Her beet red hair clashes with his vampire black.

This is just a lazy, pitiful move on the parts of Frons-Valentini-Carlivati.

I agree, I was hoping that Natalie would get on that plane and never come back. Easton has no chemistry with Susan Haskell either, he had a spark with Blair but they ended that way too soon. Im glad Marty is rid of him but now we have to suffer the whinings of Natalie and how she obsesses over Johnny 24/7, more fast forward material for me.

I am really sick of this story with John McPain and Natalie. He is such a man skank.....He bounces from one woman to the next. And one character that is making me mad, that I have always loved is Roxy. Why is she encouraging Natalie to be the home wrecker that she is? I mean, Marty just lost her baby, and Natalie is moving in for the kill to take John back....did she ever even truly mourn for Jared?! And we all know what will end up happening, once Natalie sleeps with Brody, she will end up pregnant with Brody's baby....which is going to cause a whole new set of problems. Natalie is always causing so much trouble.

And since John likes to bounce back and forth between women, we know that him & Natalie aren't going to last. Let's see he went from Evangeline, to Natalie, to Marty, to Blair, then back to Marty and now he's going back to Natalie.....he can only be with a woman, when she's in distress, so it won't take long for Natalie to lose his interest.

Dang I never thought of the pregnancy thing with Brody and Natalie, that would really suck if they write that into the storyline. It seems that none of the guys use condoms these days in Llanview including the ever aware Johnny. The writers have no storyline for Roxy so they are throwing her in as the meddling stepmother, I wish they would give her an interesting storyline. What did Natalie mourn Jared for what a week before she had her clutches on Johnny again.

I have an aching feeling that a Brody/Natalie pregnancy is around the corner too. Sort of odd that they are ignoring Bree Williamson's real life pregnancy. Not that I want to see Jessica knocked up with Cristian's baby (of course it would be his.)

Christian should not be allowed to reproduce, a vasectomy would be definetly warranted for Christian. If they wrote Bree's pregnancy into the story it should be that its Brodys kid. The pregnancy storyline of Natalie would force me to just FF more stuff on the show.
