Well, this IS a soap opera and not real life. SO, what we really want is excellent chemistry and a not too blissful relationship. Yes, I think Carolyn and Tony belonged together! He is a handsome, sexy guy as Tony and they play off each other very well. In a way that she and Joe never quite did. Joe was just a nice guy in a hopeless love that he could never make her feel. Tony can actually hold his own with little Missy Stoddard! It is fun to watch them and I wish they had kept it going longer.
Spoiler:
ANYTHING would have been better than her and JEB. Yuck. Carolyn and Professor Stokes. Carolyn and her cousin, Barney. Carolyn and Maggie. (Wouldn't THAT have gotten all the guys' interest?!) ANYBODY!
