Additional Comments:

Mac whinges about how little she really does, she has the bar Jimmy's but so what, she can't go back tto Darfur, so how can Mac make a difference? Of course!  Carry the seed of Cane and Lily so Lily can be a "great mother" and if she dies can leave a "piece of her" for Cane. She stares Billy in the face and makes this pronouncement. Can we say Nobel Prize winner for making a difference and helping Lily and Cane.

If Mac wants to make a difference how about doing that with her own kid.. where there are no ramifications of her having someone else's baby.... I mean she wants to have a kid..but not her own..I guess that means she can't face the responsibility of caring for her own kid..but if Cane asked her to take care of his and Lily's baby should anything happen to Lily..of course she would say yes. Maybe it's just that she's not ready to be a mother to Billy's kid..but then did he ever ask her yet to do that?

I couldn't figure out why Mac thought it was a good idea to buy the bar either...she has never approved of drinking...look what happened to Billy in high school...and then there was her step-father and she was also aware of Kay's alchoholism...and being the 'goody two-shoes' she has always been, helping out in shelters and going to Darfur and all, you'd think she wouldn't want to promote drinking and alcoholism by owning a bar.  I thought maybe she'd use it to do something else...like transform it into another hotspot like Indigo is supposed to be or maybe transform it into a soup kitchen or something.  There have to be lots of things she could do in the realm of shelter/soup kitchen type work in the area...work with the Chancellor or Abbott Foundations to set up some kind of housing creation or other support agency for people who are homeless or something....you can't tell me being a surrogate or 'gestational carrier' as she called it is her only choice for 'making a difference' or 'having a purpose'!  Use that so-called brain you have and come up with something else!

  • Yeah, the bar thing never made much sense to me either. mm3

    Mac could team up with Jill to find Kay's child!  That would make a difference to her grandmother!

    If Mac wants to make a difference, then she should shut down Jimmy's, hop on her high horse, and get the heck out of town! And she can take Cane and Lily with her. Off camera, they can have their little family and live happily ever after.  :)

    TPTB should have killed off Mac instead of Colleen. It would have made WAY more sense. Mac is boring.

    I wouldn't mind this silly storyline if the show indicated we're SUPPOSED TO think Mac's off her rocker. If the show indicated we're SUPPOSED TO realize Lily's acting like a five-year-old. ("I want it NOW. I can't wait. I want it so it must happen.")

    But I'm afraid the writers are going to make Mac and Lily saints and all the naysaying characters will realize it eventually. That's what really bugs me.

    Just when I think the storylines can't get worse, they do. Mac wants to make a difference by birthing a baby to a mother who may be dead within a few years?

    Mac is getting to be a little too much to take.  First off,  why in the heck would she buy a dive like Jimmy's in the first place,  to help needy alcoholics?  Now she says she wants to help Lily and Cane,  come on,  why would she want to do this?  this makes no sense at all.  She is suppose to be so much in love with Billy,  but she wants to be a human incubator.  There are many needy causes in this world,  many ways she can help the less fortunate.  Having a baby for Cane and Lily is not something that would help the world.

  • ICAM. None of Mac's actions since she returned to GC seem in character for her. ~i&b
  • Talk about out of character, before this nuMac, she had a huge issue with alcohol because of her abusive alcoholic stepfather. Yet nuMac buys a bar. The writers have never addressed this bizarre contradiction. --Mira
  • I see it differently. Mac sees herself as an almost messianic kind of person, and I think she believes that by buying and running Jimmy's, she is ''keepin' it real'' by staying close to the weak and powerless in our society. Now, if she had bought an upscale nightclub rather than a dive bar, *that* would have been out of character. eom MaryHatch

    Mac should hook up with Cane and go hang around graveyards.  They remind me of the old cartoons by Charles Addams.  The only difference is the cartoons were funny these two are just gloomy.  As for Lily, just go somewhere.  Anywhere!

    If Mac wants to do good, she could choose a better quality of egg & sperm than that of the Shallow & Dumb. Please, spare the world their boring spawn!

    If Darfur is too much for Mac, why not join Habitat for Humanity in Wisconsin or help out at the homeless shelter when not bartending and taking inventory?

  • yea, she should just live off Katherine's money and work at the homeless shelter full time. That would help a lot. Why does she hate Katherine's money so much??
