"My wife doesn't understand me! She won't go to strangely named French restaurants with me, unlike you, who'll go anywhere and eat anything. Which reminds me, you did say you're currently living alone, right?"
Oh, so now suddenly I'm the bad guy? Eeewwww, slimy Ned cheated on his wife and lied to his girlfriend, he's such a creep. Well you're not perfect either, Toots. Those nose hairs could use a little lawn maintenance. No, wait, I didn't mean that. Can we still have se . . . uh, probably not. Hey, you're beautiful when you're angry! Does that help? No? Aw crud, why does everything happen to me?
The dialogue from this story arc must have been lifted from a really bad 60 year old romance novel. News flash, Karen--nobody says 'My Lovely', or seriously reminds their partners of their wedding vows in conversation. Does anyone in the Mary Worth organization ever embarrassed about how incredibly trite their product is?
I think it would have been much more interesting to have Dawn find out about Dr. Ned's marital status by running into Mary in the hallway outside Wilbur's condo. Witnessing Dawn and Dr. Ned in a passionate embrace, she could have said, "Oh how nice to see you again Dr. Fletcher. Please give my regards to Mrs. Fletcher won't you? I've missed seeing her at the hospital where she and I volunteer, but I can certainly understand why she hasn't been able to help out lately. When is the baby due again?"
Don't be shy! I'd love to hear what you have to say about Mary Worth. Just keep it clean, that's all I ask. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY blog. I don't want to moderate comments, but I will if I have to.

ReplyDeleteNo way!?! I didn't see this coming at all!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be fun if Mary decided she'd be ok bring the other woman?
Well, yes I'm married in the sense that I have a wife at HOME, but I am definitely divorced from my former WORK wife.
