This was originally in response to my first post.  I've been watching
the show since it's inception and I'm very familiar with the reasoning
behind the masculine names. I doubt that it will be a completely Jewish
name because I think Frankie feels bad enough that she's hurting her
mother by converting.  I don't think she'd have the child have a
traditional Jewish name as well.  I just said that I hoped it would
be a masculine name because I enjoy that part of the Reed family.

Not to mention Frankie and Mitch. It's their baby, remember. They've already
had a few disappointments.

But I really don't think they'd do that again to any of them. I think it's
going to be one of those tense entire episode things, but then at the end
it'll be all okay. Unless it's a continuing story and both Georgie and
baby are rushed to the hospital. I hope not. You know the show is going
to be good when the commercials make your eyes tear up and your throat
get tight.

I'm beginning to like Simon Bolt more and more.  The face he had when
he "accepted" Teddy's invitation to dinner was wonderful.  I think these
two just make such a good pair. (My husband is going to be sorry he missed
a scene with Teddy in bed. He'd say, "Lucky sheet.":-) )

I think Frankie should have taken Teddy's advice and stayed out of it.
Mitch isn't written as the type of guy who would put up with his wife
overstepping him.  But I like having a fight between Frankie and Mitch
over something like this. They're too lovey-dovey right now. They need
some conflict. :-)
