What a pair of pathetic losers!!
Tea, what a shining example she is for all the mothers in the world. Is this witch for real?? She doesn't want to tell Todd about his daughter because he might use her as a pawn in his games with Tea? Hello Tea, have you met yourself?? Do you remember HOW you hooked up with Todd? You facilitated Todd using Starr in his games with Blair. You sold yourself to him for money and married him for the sole purpose of getting custody of his daughter while her mother was in a coma. After Blair woke up, you did everything to keep Blair away from her own child. Have you forgotten rubbing Blair's face in your faux motherhood? Now poor Tea doesn't want big bad Todd to know his daughter. But Starr, Jack and Sam are fair game. She did it again WHILE representing Blair. Which is it Tea? Are you not telling Todd about your daughter because Blair is still in his life OR because he is a dangerous man? Tea's reasons today made it clear that she is just another Gigi. She won't tell Todd because he won't love her the way she wants. She wants to punish Todd for loving Blair. If her daughter is the most important thing in the world, what is she doing in a boarding school in another continent? Tea took her away from the father she has known, and sent her away because Ross wouldn't give her a divorce.
Moving on to my girl, could Blair be any more pathetic? Even the Blair from two days ago who didn't remember was better than this one. When she said she didn't want Todd and she was doing this for her kids, it was still bad, but not pathetic. I could at least choose to believe her words and not actions. That Blair said that Tea didn't push her out the window, it was an accident and she was right. That Blair didn't try to manipulate Todd into her bed. Watching her try to manipulate Todd with lies today was cringe-worthy. I don't care if Blair never tells Todd about Tea's kid, I just want her to stop trying to get back together with Todd. This is why I liked Blair with John(not to mention the smoking hot chemistry). She behaved like an adult, not a jealous sophomore. Snap out of it Blair. I want Dorian to slap some sense into her. At this point, I will be cheering Tea on if she pushes Blair out the window again and finishes the job this time.
Finally, so much for Todd's great love for Tea. All it takes is a few lies and he is back in Blair's clutches. I am sure next week he will be acting out the same scenes with Tea with Blair cast in the villain role. Flip-flopper!!
First of all, I strongly object to comparing Tea to Gigi. Gigi would never pull the cr@p Tea has. Even when she was lying to Rex to save Shane's life (stupid, I admit) she never tried to keep Shane away from Rex. Okay, got that off my chest. LOL.
I have always liked FL and Tea, but lately FL's over-active tear glands are grating on my nerves. And that nervous heh-heh laugh of hers doesn't help either. I can buy that she is keeping Daniella away from Todd now because she's afraid he would go after her for custody. After all, she may love the man (why escapes me) and knows just what he is capable of because she did help him in the past. That makes her a hypocrite, but one that I find believable. The shoe is now on Tea's foot and she's getting a peek at what she put Blair through all those years ago - and she doesn't like it. In reality, Tea would leave Llanview, take Daniella out of boarding school and move to another part of the country to raise her. After all, she doesn't have any family and few friends in Llanview. She's a hot shot lawyer. She could create a new life for her and her daughter rather easily. But this is a soap, so Tea will continue to harbor her secret in a town where it could be blown wide open, all the while trying to win back the worthless dog of a baby-daddy.
I wonder how KdP stomachs playing Blair right now, especially after she got to play her as a sexy adult with John. Blair is beyond pathetic right now. I agree with whoever said that Blair doesn't really want Todd, she just doesn't want anyone else to have him. Pathetic.
And Todd? I think he is tops on my list for a flogging. Why either woman would want a man who can't make up his mind about which woman he wants - and then sticks to it - is beyond me. I would think whoever "wins" Todd will always be looking over her shoulder. But perhaps that is what Todd wants. What a manipulative loser.
Yep, this storyline is made up of three unlikeable losers. No one to root for. Way to go, writers!

Blair has been really annoying lately. She's become so mean and unlikeable, they should push her out a window at the end of every episode from now until... 2097!
Tea, I really enjoyed her character when she first came back. She was tough, sexy, witty... but now, she's this fragile blubbering basket case who just cries all the time and won't let Todd know what she's really feeling. They ruined her character with this Todd's umpteenth missing child storyline.

Then there's the whole issue of Ross. Even if he's not the bio-dad, why does she think she can break their parent-child bond? She said Ross threatened to take Daniella -- that's the first we heard about that and it doesn't seem to match Ross's character (it's a total Todd move). If her daughter is the most important person in her life, then Tea should forget about Todd, be with her daughter and figure out how to handle the reality that Todd is the father in the best way for Daniella.
As for Blair, her behavior is so unappealing right now that I think John made a great decision dumping her for Marty.
And, as others have pointed out, why would Todd believe Blair's story so readily. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

ladfan, when I read your post, I hadn't seen Friday's episode. Now that I have, two things: Blair--why tell the truth when a lie will make you look worse? Tea--I'm too distracted by her giggles when she is telling the most horrendous story.
Blair is being Blair--we all know what her capabilities are. Why this woman is so insecure is beyond me. She doesn't want Todd--really--she just doesn't want someone else to have him. I hate that Todd is buying into her story about Ross and Tea planning to rip him off. That whole thing is just stupid. Todd is so much smarter than that.
Tea--what a vindictive one she is! It's like she can't decide which plan to use because she can't decide which would cause the most damage. And do we remember Tea growing up in the basement of a hotel in NYC? News to me. I thought she came from Ko-lom-beah.

Well, I'll wholeheartedly agree that Blair is making me insane. Didn't I say I wanted to drag her out of her hospital bed and throw her back out a window? She was even worse on Friday. Hateful bee-yatch! Granted, I'm no big fan of Blair, but there was a time when I liked her. It was just such a long time ago.
My secret hope (okay, guess it's not so secret) is that Starr finds out about Blair hiding Todd's other daughter from him and has it out with her mommy. She is every bit the hypocrit that Todd and Tea are. She knows from Todd trying to disappear Jack what it's like and she knows how Starr felt being denied her child.
Tea's story was rather lame. That whole "I decided I needed to know who her father was" would have worked better if she were her real age of 6, not sixteen. and it would have been reasonable for her to say that after she found Tod and Blair together again (in the cah-ban-yah!) that she couldn't trust him and was AFRAID he might try to take the girl away, but no, she admists to wanting to punish him!
It is sounding to me like the only reason Ross really wants Daniella is for $$$$. He always calls her "kid". doesn't seem indicative of affection to me.
As far as Todd goes, I am far more bothered that he is being sucked in whole by Blair and too dang stupid to see it.
