I did genuinely love the show for much more than Wes, but I just cannot watch the show without him, both because something huge will be missing I agree, and because I don't agree with them doing this.
Poor Alfie. I was slightly hopeful because of his interviews stressing he wanted to keep his job. But..
he'd already lost it.
I hope he gets something even better and bigger and can shove it to Pete.
I do think at this point that the baby will be Wes' Because then it'll open up more conflict with Laurel about keeping the baby because it's a piece of him.. them. But I don't know that the show will follow that through.
To get off the most important subject for a minute.. did anyone else catch that Laurel/Michaela kiss? Can they get together and raise the Weslaurel baby? I'm serious.. if it's Wes' I don't want the baby to call Frank it's dad.
