Paige Novak (Olympia Valance)

I totally agree with this. She started off as such a promising character, but as soon as they made her a manipulator and criminal, her maturity level has just dropped.

Yes, I totally agree-and spoilers aren't making it sound as if she'll get much better. I really want Terese to tear massive strips off her and leave her in tears-Terese has no obligation to put up with her attitude anymore, she doesn't have to keep the peace for Brad's sake.

I already love Terese, but I would love her even more if she did! She had evidence that Paige is nasty, not to mention the whole stolen car ring thing, but no one listened to her, told her she was just being paranoid, even saint Susan.
And reading that Paige confronts Terese because Brad offers to help her just...no!
The way they have made Susan react to this has really disappointed me. I didn't expect her to turn her back on Lauren, but I thought she'd show more disapproval to Lauren and more support for Terese.
But yeah, Paige needs to be brought down a peg or two. Unless they take her back to how she use to be, I won't be bothered by her leaving.

Saying I love you doesn't mean they will stay together. both of them will realise they love each other as friends. They are NOT IN love with each other.

They're clearly not just friends. Friends with benefits perhaps!

Bit hard for Tyler to get a girl friend with such a limited cast ... they could bring in some more supporting cast to expand the story lines a bit .... if they kept them virtual, they wouldn't have to pay the extra salaries. They seem to work to a tight budget (considering some of the actors like Naiomi don't seem to change their clothes too often and she is supposed to love clothes)... the men can get a way with it but the ladies seem to keep the same old wardrobe.

Bring back Courtney for him, seeing as she's his girlfriend in real life! 😀

Yep I have said it before, the fashions on this show leave a lot to be desired!!!

Fanning the flames
Paige's memories of the fire and her concerns over her parents' relationship prompt her to reconnect with a past love.

The stress of her father, Brad's decision to move back in with Terese to help her recuperate from the burns she sustained in the fire has left Paige rocked to think that the blossoming relationship between Brad and her mother, Lauren, is over.

When Mark unwittingly ignores her plight, Paige is so bereft that she experiences terrifying flashbacks of being trapped in the school fire.

Paige shuts out his concerns for her, so Mark asks Tyler to get through to her, reasoning that their shared experience during the inferno will help Paige to open up. Concerned to see Paige taking out her angst on a punching bag, Tyler reaches out to her. When Paige accidentally punches him, she's so shocked that she blurts out her heartache, including her misgivings about what transpired between her and Tyler when they were trapped in the elevator during the fire, a conversation that led to the end of their friendship.

As Tyler finally understands her pain, their bond is re-established but before anything can happen, Mark interrupts, pleased to learn that Paige is seeking counselling for her problems.

However, Paige's efforts to get past her problems are dealt another blow when Lauren reveals that she and Brad have officially broken up so Brad can prioritise his family with Terese. Upset to think that her parents will never be together, Paige visits Brad hoping to talk sense into him and make him see he's hurting Lauren.

When Terese and Imogen overhear the conversation, their fears that Paige will affect a Brad/Lauren reconcillation prompts Imogen to openly wonder if Brad and Terese will ultimately reconcile. When Brad sidesteps the question, only admitting that he's confused by the whole situation, Paige is given renewed hope that her parents still have a chance at a future. Now that her own friendship with Tyler is back on solid ground, Paige also contemplates what the future holds for her and if it includes romance with Mark.

Sounds like Paige & Tyler's experience trapped in the lift together during the fire, will eventually bring them together.

Just like Imogen & Daniel's shared experience stuck down the well, eventually brought them together. Daniel said nothing would happen with Imogen, as he loved Amber. Daniel & Amber then broke up as they realised it wasn't working between them. Imogen & Daniel then got together not long after.

Looks like the same will happen with Tyler & Paige over the next few months. Paige has said nothing will happen with Tyler, as she loves Mark. I think the more time she spends with Tyler, as their shared the same experience trapped in the lift, it will bring them closer and eventually they will get together.

Paige needs to stop pushing Lauren and Brad together

[Ruffed_lemur]

It does seem wrong if Brad gets back with Terese due to an accident. Could be taken as sympathy.
