She is on now less often than Layla - John is being thrown together with Gnatalie - and to add insult to injury she agrees to shrink Blair's brain, only to be made a fool for doing so when Blair threatens to have her disbarred...

Oy!

I wish they had given us a moment of Marty questioning why she would do this - have Todd play on Marty's sympathy to convince her, that they are all Hope's grandparents, etc. Instead, it kind of came across as a cheap, never-would-have-happened plot devise to give her some screen time with people other than John and Cole.

Blair is getting more and more nasty and vendictive the longer this plays out. I don't quite get what Ross sees in her (the whole "I've never met a woman like her...!" just seemed stupid).

Maybe Elijah can rescue Marty from John's dull grip - Blair and Ross can get pulled together, but there's still pull with Todd and Tea as the new couple of destiny - and John and Gnat can just vanish off the canvas.

I agree with you about Marty's reduced airtime.  They could have shown Todd trying to convince Marty to help Blair.  But I don't think there is anything wrong with Blair asking Marty to keep her secret.  She is well within her rights to expect privacy.  Marty is bound by privilege and she knows it.  I think Blair should just tell Todd, but I have no problems with her asking Marty to keep quiet.
