really now they decide to do this? Its like Sami on Days!

I still want Otalia to raise the child and Frank can be involve every once of a while.

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID

Can I hope for a miscarriage? is that ok? Why would they do something so effin stupid is what I don't get.

Why not do it when the actress was actually pregnant?

Who do I have to sleep with to get a Bizzie baby? Frank? I'll do it if I have too (no I wont)

If GL was on two more years maybe I would like this storyline... but with one month of filming left after Ms. Leccia comes back I would prefer that Natalia is not pregnant...

There is not enough time to finish a storyline of a great SUPER COUPLE as it is...

I want them to have a KISS... I want them to make love... the fans have been waiting for this for so long... why slap us in the face with a love scene that isn't perfect in everyway

I are stopping Otalia from getting some "Hello kItty", LOL. Why, Ellen Wheeler, Why???

I so dont want this to play out this way. Besides, Nat's been drinking a lot lately. I'm guessing she'll misscarriage the baby

This was telegraphed weeks ago when Natalia was sick.

It''s Olivia's kid, if this goes down. She's the one "packing heat" in that relationship.

Well, if the RUMOR is true... they have two months to play this out. I wonder where GL is going with this with the last days of the show if the RUMOR is true.

Disappointed that they are going this route, but I trust in Ellen Wheeler and Jill Lorie Hurst, so hopefully things will be okay.

josstheguy, when was natalia sick?
She hasn't shown any signs of a pregnancy except of course that giant belly that the actress has been sporting for the last 4 months and that we all have pretended not to notice

This is utter crap. We all have to pretend that JL is not pregnant for months just to find out that Nat has been pregnant pretty much the entire time. It's an insult to the fans and to the character. I've been waiting for Otalia to be happy and it looks like that will never happen by September 18th. Why oh why do we need another Cooper kid with Frank hanging on to his connection to Nat forever? Such a sad waste of a great couple.

personally this sounds like a really insulting plot twist. insulting to the characters AND the fans. bad move, GL.

Well, Natalia is not the only one throwing up because she has Frank's baby. This is beyond stupid. Way to destroy a great storyline, GL! Otalia so far has been such a well-crafted, touching love story and I want it to end like that, with a focus on them and the family they already have created - which does not include Frank or his baby. Otalia haven't even kissed yet for God's sake and are already buried to their noses in obstacles, do we really need more? This is so disappointing.
And what's up with making pregnant JL play a non-pregnant woman only to make her character pregnant as soon as she herself is not anymore? Ridiculous.

Troymclure,

I remember a few weeks ago, Natalia wasn't feeling well. I just assumed that she was pregnant because she had spontaneously slept with Frank.

Soap characters never seem to have condoms!

Sharon slept w/ 3 different men and apparently didn't use a condom once. Huh??

Disappointed, horrified, frustrated and disgusted if this is true. There would be nothing more ridiculous, cliched, and more importantly the biggest slap in the face of fans if they do this. With the show ending, it is beyond despicable they would do this instead of a happy ending. No, I don't believe they can have a happy ending if there is a yucky Frank baby. Otalia was going down in history as the best same-sex love story ever portrayed. If this pregnancy sl is true, then it will go down in history as the biggest let down of all times. The only solution for me...I'll say it even though it pains me, would be a miscarriage. We fans have been nothing more than supportive to this show. I am baffled they would do this to its most passionate fan base....ANGERED & DISGUSTED for the first time.

Joss, you're oh so right about the condom thing. I think the only time I've ever heard a character talk about not using one was over a decade ago with Austin and Carrie on DAYS.

This is pretty much the biggest slap in the face to Otalia fans they could have come up with.

Now...how stupid is this? How bloody stupid this can be?
I am so disgusted about it!
Are they out of their bloody minds? How can you add to the storyline 2 months before the close up a pregnancy?
Jesus Christ this is to stupid even for the stupidest person on Earth!
I can only laugh cause even if eventually she loses the baby...than it's still stupid. Why add more hurt and suffering when you should spend the last times writing how to add more beautiful moments when the time is so short?
This is S**T! Let's face it...they screw it up with this add....
Bloody stupid! STUPID!

This is a sad betrayal of a fan base who has done everything to try and save this show. Shame on Jill Lorie Hurst and Ellen Wheeler for choosing this cliched route if that is what happens. The character of Natalia will be ruined by this. She was pregnanat at 16 and then as a 30+ year old woman probably having sex for the 3rd or 4th time in her life has unprotected sex, gets pregnant and doesn't realize it for almost 5 months. Seriously. Such a screw up when this show is coming to an end. What a sad, sad, way to ruin what has been a beautifully written story to this point.

You would think that Frank, A GRANDFATHER, in his 50s would have some condoms.

Heck, they did it in Coop's room, he most definitely had some, since he got it on with Beth all the time there and she only wants Spaulding sperm impregnating her!

WTH? They decide this NOW? This is so dumb.

How long ago was it when Frank and Natalia sleep together? It was only that one time when Natalia looked disgusted! Ha!

Otalia hasn't even kissed and GL has 2 months left! This sounds like another plot point that delays and Otalia relationship. Ugh...I really hope it's not true!

This is the fourth place I've read this rumor today so it's starting to look less like a rumor and more like a spoiler with every passing minute. If it's not true, someone at Guiding Light needs to step in and correct the record IMMEDIATELY...

I can't imagine a worse direction to take this storyline or one that will offend the couple's fanbase any more than a Natalia pregnancy.

For months, this storyline has broken ground and now the writers are opting to tell a story that has been done over and over and over again.

this is beyond ridiculous...if this rumor is actually true then WTF!!! JLH and EW I had FAITH in both of you. Do you ever know how important that is after all the AMC crap?!!!...they don't have time for a sl like this one, it will be like Breese all over again and in the end they'll stay together like in the last episode!!!

man, I'm mad...is like someone punch me on the face and then laugh about it...it will be so damn disrespectful for the fans.

and Why do this to poor JL?...she's even take a short ML!

OK this is IF the RUMOR is TRUE. I'm still hoping that the writers are clever enough for not do this.

I really hope there is some out in this. They - Otalia have been tortured enough. Women in relationship + instant pregnancy = Overdone - Lazy writing.

I have a lot of respect for JLH and team. I really hope there is more to this and this is not the same ploy to de-sexualize this couple. It would really be sad and make a lot of us very dissappointed.

If the rumor is true, no wander this show was cancelled. Really, only have a few months left, why would they make Natalia pregnant now. If true, will have lost all respect for JLH and EW. No way to treat a loyal fan base.

I hope it's not true. Stupid to have a real life preg women come back after Mat Leave to play preg. I wanted this story to stay as hetro free as possible. This is a screw we all don't need or want..

If this is true what an insult to the Otalia fans.

Blame Barbara Doom for this mess of a plot of of our Otalia fans to see a kissing or love scene between them.
