Ok, so, we all love the McAllisters, but let's acknowledge the other major family on J&B!

I wish that they would have more interaction together. All of them that is. We have scenes with Courtney and Peter but no Chloe insight. We need something for all of them to do together.

[deathofacat]

Agreed. I'd like to see some together time with them. They seem to be in a place where they never talk to each other at this point in the show.

[jsrocks]

They should do a scene where they are all sitting down together eating dinner and talking. But that seems unlikely because Peter works late and is never there and Courtney always has to cook the meals for Chloe.
This family needs a vacation together.

I completely agree - I'd like to see all of the Benedict's together more and see more interaction. Thanks for starting this thread Cat

Wouldn't that be great!?! But yeah, Peter always works late, and Courtney seems to do all the house work.

Chrissy---thanks!

I agree that we need to see these three together more. I didn't think the life of a University president would be so demanding. If Peter can set time aside to go hunting, I'm sure that he could plan a trip for himself and the girls too.

Or maybe he's a bit afraid of spending time with them. I mean, he seems very uptight, and a bit cut off (although still completely lovable), and I get the impression that he's a bit afraid of letting his emotions show. I mean, the only really intense moment of unhappiness he's shown was in TFL, when he was so overcome he had to turn his head away so his daughter wouldn't see him cry. Interesting thoughts......

I think he is a afraid. He doesn't know what to do or what to say. Their girls and he doesn't know how to approach them. Which is why he turns to Grace for important matters. If she wasn't there Courtney would hate him more then she does now.

[deathofacat]

I get the impression that Grace is his only friend. She's the person he sort of looks to when he needs help, which is kinda sweet. Actually, I think they sort of look to each other, but, yeah, wrong thread.

Great bump

Anyone want to post an intriguing question to start some discussion?

[deathofacat]

Hmmm........How long do you think it'll take for us to have a really good plot line involving all of them?

[jsrocks]

Hopefully not too long! They're a really intriguing family and I want to know more about them.

[deathofacat]

Yeah. Or about what life was like when the mother was still alive. Or if Court and Peter's relationship has always been rickety. Or the inevitable time when Chloe learns how her mom died.
