Hey Hal's back;Yay. LOL  Lindsay is going to be trouble, I hope Sidney can handle her.  I love banana bread, but really these people need to cut back on all the food they consume.  With Justin giving their money away and Brian hiring an expensive detective I hope they can still manage to maintain their luxurious lifestyle and their eating habits.

Cheers :)

Poor Hal, he is still tyring to get the best of Justin but is doomed to failure.  Between Sidney & Justin I don't think Lindsay will get very far in causing any trouble.  Banana bread is a great way to use up bananas that have been around too long, so it is cost effective.  You are very funny with your comments today.  Happy you are still reading and enjoying.  Thanks for being such a faithful reviewer.  Bill

Hi, Bill!  Always a pleasure to read your fic. This is becoming almost like a whole additional season of the show!  Love how it is slowly progressing.  Still don't trust Lindsay, but glad Brian's son will be closer to him and Justin.  Why do I possibly see trouble brewing between Lindsay and her assistant, as well as Justin?  (And you mentioned my hometown, too  - LOL!).

I sort of wish Justin had been honest with Brian about Lindsay, even though I can understand why he might not want to upset him any further. But secrets like that seem to always come back to haunt someone; I wonder in this case if that will happen as well.

Looking forward to how all this plays out.  Congrats on all your reviews, my friend; well deserved.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

What will be Brian's reaction when he'll find out about what Claire is doing to pay for her drugs ? I can't imagine.

With Lindsay, I was wondering if Justin & Brian wouldn't prefer to talk about the money directly with Melanie (by now, they know they can't trust Lindsay). Not only money but everything about Gus. All this mess is Lindsay's fault. She's in a place where she thinks all is about her and B&J are against her. Melanie was desperatly trying to fix everything but failed. Brian can't really condemn her for wanting to do it without his or the family's help. He would do the same if he didn't have Justin in his life (he learned it with the cancer). Trust is very important to Brian and I think Melanie is more trustworthy than Lindsay. It could may be what Lindsay needs to make her see how fucked up she is.

I think Brian will compare Claire and Lindsay after he'll see the detective's report. Of what Claire is capable of for her drugs. What she did to Peter and John. Lindsay's gambling problem didn't went that far because of Melanie. Melanie was there to see Lindsay had a problem, to help her, to protect their two kids and when she realised she couln't do it she took her family back to Pittsburg. I can't imagine Lindsay taking the decision to move back. Melanie can put her ego aside for her kids' well being but Lindsay wouldn't face Brian's disappointment. She constantly needs approval from the people she loves the most.

It's time for Melanie to stop letting Lindsay's emotional problems take so much room in their family life. It's not only the two of them anymore, they have children to think of.

People consider gambling a addiction that can't be cure but manageable. I'm totally ok with that but Lindsay's problem with her jealousy towards Justin isn't a kind of mental illness. Please, I'm begging you. Don't make it a medical issue. She's just a jealous b*tch. Everyone can be one (I am one a lot of time) at different level.

Like always Gus is the best. I like that Brian is so at ease with the idea of Molly watching after Gus (well Alice is there too). It's great that Gus isn't always playing with boys. Molly can show him that girls can be cool too.

Thank you so much for all your nice comments.  I know some stories have Lindsay winding up with mental illness but I don't plan to go that way.  She has a gambling addiction but I agree that many issues are just from jealousy.  I always felt that both Lindsay and Michael had probelms dealing with not being the most important people in Brian's life.  It wasn't that Brian didn't care about them but Justin clearly is number one with Brian.  I think it is often hard for old friends whena friend has someone new in their life. 

Thanks again for the comments and taking time to review.  I appreciate it!!!  Bill

Dam Lindsay! I rather they did not hire her as I can see she is going to make trouble and I feel sorry for Sidney and Lisa. At least Justin has a heads up to her jealousy. Joany did such a deep job on Brian that even after all this time he still is amazed that he is loveable and has a son and partner who do love him unconditionally

Author's Response:

I think Lindsay is going to be great story fodder as gallery manager.  The senior Kinney's household was not a good nuturing place.  Brian was lucky to find Justin, poor Claire is still screwed up and NOW back with Joan.  Thanks for the review.  Bill
