Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor)

[LauBuch]

Not a chance! There was no blood - she's in witness protection. He's just saying that so her return will surprise viewers. She is coming back with a toddler. There have been call sheets with Ashleigh Brewer's name on it. She is taking a break from Bold and the Beautiful. Mark will leave Paige and reunite with Kate and live happily ever after.

Gil--- CuriousCase.

Also, if memory serves me right, you've claimed a lot of things are "definitely" happening, for them not to.
Amber's baby definitely dying, Mark and Paige definitely breaking up with Tyler and Paige definitely dating and Bossy dying, just to name a few.

I believe CuriousCase was taking the p out of a certain Neighbours fan who spreads her highly improbable Kate fantasies around the internet.

Haha! I genuinely thought it was, you know who, for a bit! DARN IT! :P

You're right he is coming across as a bit creepy. Not what the writers intended I'm sure!

It's downright bizarre that a man would love his girlfriend's son (who he's only recently got to know) as if he were his own child...

It's not unusual for a step-parent to bond with a kid, but yeah I agree it's awfully quick, and it's not like he and Charlie have spent any real time together. And Charlie's a bit dull so I can't see him charming the adults with his sparkling personality.

But the whole Steph and Mark relationship is so forced, I just wish they'd hurry up and get to the big drama that will tear them apart. Please don't let this be the marriage Mark actually goes through with. I can't take much more of this gruesome twosome.

I agree, and I wouldn't bat an eye if it was a couple of years into Mark and Steph's relationship. It's the speed at which it's happened that's bizarre.

As you say, the whole romance (including Mark's feelings for the unprepossessing Charlie) feels very forced. I actually like the pair together but their relationship's being written so badly it's hard to root for them, and I can't see it lasting despite the regular (yet strangely unconvincing) declarations of love.

I mentioned earlier that they feel more like best friends (like Steph and Toadie) then passionate lovers. I just don't feel the chemistry. Nothing like Mark and Kate or even Mark and Paige

I find it lovely! He just comes over as great Dad material to me.

Love Steph and Mark together too.
