I thought Natasha owned her business, if she's going to London it's her choice and seems to be about forcing Nick to decide whether or not to be a full time parent to Sam.
ReplyDeleteSince Shona doesn't seem to be getting any better it would be best to break them up. Her lack of control already could have cost David his business when she cut off the model's hair. He has actual children to support and raise, he doesn't need another one.
That Todd storyline is repellent in so many ways. And all to get Billy back?
