Does her brother really currently have the kids???? Is that right?KG?
 
That can't be right because they have sold the house in G.J. - the show makes it seems as though they are still living there...


Ooooo... I wish I had a laptop and wireless internet so I could post and watch. But, alas, I have to be in the other room so the kids can finish their movie!

Sounds like they are making quite a few mistakes ...
 
Yep - Becky, you're famous... well at least your post is.
 
yep, I'm watching and just saw the image of CS.
 
That was her brother, and give him a break - why would he know that CS isn't connected to TPC? They all seem the same to the uninitiated.Careful what you say - remember, the people in GJ and the West Coast have not seen this yet.

I need to pay better attention, I thought the narrator said that.

I have nothing but respect for all the effort her brother has put into finding her! I can't imagine what he's been through!
 
I'm taping it but my aunt just called me and asked what I was watching. She wondered if I knew about the story. I told her that I was aware of the story from here which she said they mentioned in the show.
 
Wow lot's of Guest users and going up at a steady pace right now.
 
So far, TPC has had two sentences - and it was nothing more than good PR. "High end" kitchen equipment and "free trip" to the Caribbean. How's that for recruiting?
 
I'm at work so I can't watch ... does anybody know if I can catch it later on the CBS web site?

I think they're going to be disappointed looking for that particular thread.

I wan't trying to upset anyone, I was just pointing out what you guys were saying on this thread, I was saying that it sounded like the writers were making the errors in agreement with a previous post. I'm not watching the show right now- no TV in my den.

That was directed at me Kacey and I was doing other things and not listening closely. I don't blame Craig at all for that mistake, but the writers doing all the research should have caught that.

Okay, I just didn't want to offend or upset anyone. This is a very emotionally charged situation and I certainly wouldn't want to add to that. :)

Stop multitasking with your new toy! :);)

In the overall scheme of the story, TPC is a very minor element. It just got one more line, but not by name.
