No worries, Scarlet and as always, thanks!

Again, I won't be hoping for a trailer but if there is, then great!

Deaf ears meaning Robert & Mary.

I have this bad feeling about Sybil. I hope she doesn't die as a result of the lack of medical treatment. Robert would blame himself and always feel guilty for what his choice caused.

EDIT: Fears confirmed.

Her death is really sad, but it's already opening so many drama opportunities.

- Cora and Robert are being pushed apart.
- Robert and Branson's animosity is going to increase.
- Family members will be taking sides.

I wonder if they'll try to take the baby from Branson or trying to control what he does with his future. Sybil's last words were about stopping him from going backward and I doubt they're going to find it acceptable for him to move away with her after they just lost Sybil.

Sorry, I have to disagree with you Roxy. There were lots of plotlines they could have gone with had she lived.
