Wow! A new thread already! We go through these like they're going out of style!

Love the thread title btw; I think it was Camille who thought of it? Great job!

I LOVE the thumbnails under the episode descriptions! Thank you SO MUCH for whoever decided to do that! I've been wanting to add some pics up or what have you, since we get sneek peeks pretty well in advance. It just really adds to the OP

You won't hear an argument from me about that! I have a feeling at SOME point, he will; it won't even be a planned thing, it'll just be as a result of exhaustion and a possibly fussy John that triggers it. Like I said, he's his parent's biggest fan; like Adrian to her parents

Hi Ally! Welcome to FF! I hope to see you posting around in the future

Be sure to check out the main board, as this is just the spoiler thread for this show

I honestly don't think Amy has PPD. To really understand what is going on with her I think we have to look at everything that has happened in her perspective. You know how a person's ship effects how they interpret scenes (ex. A benamy shipper may think Ben is being protective in a scene, but a ramy ship may see him as possesive)? Well I think the same thing happens with charactors. Ricky is much more likeable than Amy and therefore it is much easier to see his side of things, but I think if we look deeper Amy won't seem so crazy.

If you look at Amys history with Ricky it hasn't been too wonderful. She knew him first as the jerk who seduced her at band camp, and then as the guy who got her pregnant and took zero responsibility. It was probably a huge change for her to try and see him as a fantastic father. However, based on the premiere she was working on it. Amy even complimented Ricky's parenting skills in front of Ben ("You're so good with him").

I think though, her trust issues with Ricky are still not completely gone, and I don't even think she even relizes it. I beleive part of her deep inside is still hurt when it comes to band camp and how Ricky acted towards her after that. Especially now that she sees the consequences of that night (John) everyday now.

Just when she was starting to let herself trust Ricky he made the mistake of allowing Ben, someone they both agreed couldn't babysit, to come over and take care of John, so he could go hang out with Adrian. I beleive that that brought back all of Amy's trust issues, and I think her horrible attitude is her mind unconsciously getting back at Ricky for everything that has happened from band camp to giving birth.

Amy is angry, Amy is tired, but most of all Amy is scared. She is scared that any second now Ricky will switch back to the irresponsible guy who took her virginity and broke her heart ten months ago. She was beggining to get over that until he opted out of his own babysitting oppurtunity. Now I think Amy is trying to distance her self from him in case he changes and she has to take care of John on her own.

I'm not saying that how Amy has acted towards Ricky is right because it is not. In fact, she is being totally disrespectful, but I do think that there is a reason behind it.

Clearly you've thought this out before posting; it shows. I really enjoyed reading your post and I can see what you're saying. I am a HUGE R/A fan but an even bigger Ricky fan; in fact, seperately, I love Ricky and am annoyed by Amy, so you're right that that can make a person "blind" to where Amy's coming from.

Oh god... that would be... AMAZING. I feel so terrible, but I'm so over that storyline. It's totally believable for it to still be lingering, don't get me wrong, but I'm already bored with it. It could be due to the fact that it was uber random; no build up. We never saw Grace's fight with her dad. Her blaming herself is coming out of nowhere (well, not really but sort of). And it's a little annoying to me that she's choosing this option for grief; it's like, it's all about her. idk, I'm annoyed with it all.
