Yes, Caroline started the rumour.  She decided they were seeing each other
after she phoned for Charlie and talked to Linda briefly.  Linda kept
saying things like, "Oh Charlie's fine.  Well, as well as can be expected."
"Oh we enjoy having Charlie stay with us.  Although we all hope to see you
two get back together."  The next day at work Caroline asks the office
manager (a woman) if she can be moved away from 'that woman'.  She then
says that Linda is the reason her marriage broke up.  It doesn't help 
that Charlie is in Linda's office using the phone again to call Gina at
lunchtime.  The office manager immediately moves Linda from her desk and
tells Charlie he can no longer use her phone.  The rumour spreads rapidly.

Anne did not take it well.  She and Al were furious by the time Linda
gets home and they confront her.  Linda laughs at the idea.  Anne believes
her when she says there's nothing going on, but says Linda's reputation
is in danger if she doesn't find a way to put an end to the rumour.

Linda speaks to Caroline the next day and tells her it isn't true, but
Caroline refuses to believe her and calls her a tramp.  Charlie also
confronts Caroline and returns his apartment key, telling her that Linda
isn't the other woman but that every other woman in the world would be
the other woman before he'd go back to her.  Yes!  He finally gets in a
good one.

As soon as Judy said, "Besides, this pitcher [insert name] is only 23 
strikeouts away from the record"  I said to my husband, "So that's who
he's going to have an affair with."  This should be good, especially if
she keeps calling him Gramps.

>So what obstacle will appear to thwart Gina and Charlie

I'm sure Caroline is going to find out that Gina is the other woman before
the divorce is final.  Perhaps she'll try to have her deported?  I'm not
sure she could do that, but she certainly could try.

I agree completely.  I really like Jeff and Ginger, but we've barely seen
Anne and Al together.  Maybe they're waiting till the baby's born, then
they'll focus on them for a while.

Oh yeah, there were also a number of scenes of Robert and his wife trying
to get served in a white owned restaurant.  They eventually leave without
getting served.  I liked the way they showed disgust in both the white's
faces and the black couple's faces.  I predict this marriage is doomed,
at least if they stay in the U.S.
