Well, Paul's a slick one, isn't he? First he cons Maggie into arranging a meeting with Carolyn (and frankly, if I were Carolyn, I would have been ticked as hell). And what was with all the smirking on Maggie's part??? Gee, I mean, it's common knowledge the guy abandoned his wife and baby. Even if he wants to make nice with his kid now, I would think that common sense would tell her that just maybe this is not the time to go "surprising" her good friend or for looking like it's a great joke.
The fact that Carolyn wants her father, I can buy. The fact that she's apparently blocked the few things Liz told her about Paul that suggests he was never going to be giving Hugh Beaumont a run for his money, I can also buy. Denial, after all, seems to be genetic.
But my God, does she have blinders on. He can put any spin on the circumstances of his leaving he wants, the fact still remains he was stealing from her and taking off.

Back at the Dawn of DS Time.....when Jason McGuire was blackmailing Liz into marrying him, Carolyn did everything she could short of a kicking, shrieking tantrum on the floor, to stop her mother. And the impression given was that Carolyn couldn't deal with the reality of her father's behaviour.....I don't think she EVER saw her father as the Bad Guy, no matter WHAT she came to know about him.
Which doesn't alter the fact that the DS writers would cheerfully negate things they wrote only yesterday, if it suited them today!

i see that Carolyn might be in denial but think Maggie should have tried to talk to Carolyn first before setting up the meeting or at least tried to test her with questions to see how she would react! but that's me i hate most surprizes (except for
the picture of Chris that was a great surprize thanks MN)

Yes! That was sickening. Poorly done, I thought. Who directed that?? LOL If they wanted her to have some sort of "knowing" look on her face it could have been done differently.

Exactly what I thought! Maggie doesn't know how Carolyn would feel after not seeing her father for 20 years. An event like this should have been planned and well thought out before hand. The way they went about it was as if Maggie was setting Carolyn up on a "blind date!"
Im sure she meant well but Maggie should have defintetly talked it over with Carolyn first to see how she'd react to the whole thing. I somehow can't image Vicky pulling a stunt like this. :-
