Once told of Blair's lie, Todd forgives her immediately and indicates he still badly wants her in his life. And Blair eventually forgives even the dead baby lie. That forgiveness of one another is so loving. Todd makes statements like: "You're the only right thing I've done in my life." and "I don't want to live my life without you." He also asks her to marry him 4 more times and refers to her as " The perfect woman". Considering all they've been through, and the pain they've caused one another, their forgiveness of one another, and continued love, is amazing!

It's interesting that Todd isn't even angry with Blair when he finds out the truth. (I guess because the DBL was worse than her lie.) Instead of anger, he badly wants to marry Blair; declaring his love in flowery statements and preparing for a surprise wedding. Todd asks Blair to marry him a total of 8 times through the years. Sadly, this is the only time we get to see them happy for even a few months and its marred by his cover up lies and the DBL itself; clouds hanging over them. (I sometimes hated the writers for keeping them apart so much!)

How did their hatred for each other begin? Was it simply because Max married Blair?

Birmingham AL for you

This is a “ gem “ for BRENDA & SONNY❤

Even though she's fearful that Todd will take Jack and also questioning his love, Blair needs to tell the truth. She's causing unnecessary pain. It makes sense that Todd would be upset in this situation. On the other hand, Todd is overreacting, not reacting. I wish he'd behave more like a reasonable adult man and less like an insecure child prone to angry fits.

Per usual, I love Vicki's advice. "It's your choice to end up alone and miserable or not." She also tells him, "It (the baby situation) is only an obstacle if you make it one." Truth from his big sister!! Todd does take a step forward after she lectures him but the writers had to keep the nonsense going with him overhearing Blair tell Ben she loves "the baby's father".

We often get reminders of the love between Todd and Blair even when they are at odds. Todd oozes love when speaking of watching Blair while she sleeps. Her love is obvious, too. Frustrating to watch them hurt each other. On a similar note, "You're parents don't need a love potion. They are already in love." That voodoo lady really knows what she's talking about!

Even when their relationship is really shaky, we see these glimpses of the love and desire TnB have for one another. They resist the pull but its obviously difficult for both of them. It's interesting that Blair takes the middle of the bed here but it's also interesting that Todd doesn't ask for more space!

This kiss is surprisingly sexy and I love the way Todd caresses Blair's hair. TnB have so much trouble resisting each other. Todd is still concerned that she cheated on him but wants her. She kisses him even though he's betrayed her. Got to love their crazy dynamics!

Love when Blair turns to Todd, physically, for comfort, as she did here, even though things are tense between them. He's surprised by the sudden physical contact but gradually responds. He relaxes and his face softens just a little.

"What is it about me that makes you sick?" Todd asks sadly when Blair says he makes her heartsick (NOT sick). Big difference but she doesn't correct him. Todd and Blair frustrate: no trust on either side and she's lying about the baby mainly because of that lack of trust. Plus, they don't communicate and make incorrect assumptions about one another. They also won't admit to loving one another. 2001-2003 was tough on fans. (And Kelly -butt out! Not helpful.)

People ask why Blair would later tell Todd that Max was the father of her baby. To me, the answer is right here. Blair has said it numerous times and Kelly, too: Mistrust. Fixing the results of a betrayal this profound will not automatically fix the trust that has been broken!! She never knows when he'll go nuts. He has an impulsive, sometimes irrational temper. And he shows her here that he is very willing to betray her, even send her to jail for many years simply out of jealousy. He also keeps Starr from her and has kidnapped Starr before. Blair does test his love for her at one point but, throughout her pregnancy she stated that she was fearful he would take Jack. This particular treachery on Todd' part really sets the stage for that level of mistrust on her part..

Todd in a rage often is his own worst enemy. Blair is the woman he later describes as "The perfect woman" and his "soulmate". So much love for her. His actions speak even louder: 8 marriage proposals! Plus, she's the ONLY woman with whom he has a regular, active sex life. So when his rage and insecurities are controlling him like this, he has a lot to lose.The TnB roller coaster continues for many years. Blair lies and they hurt one another. But they always end up together in spite of it all. I find that strangely romantic! It takes a whole lot of love to overcome some of the crappy stuff they do to one another.

The way she was going to jump back in that damn hole for Sonny! 😂 I MISS SnB.

So fun the way TnB look at each other here. They're not the nicest people in the world but they sure are entertaining and always a delight to watch when conspiring against others.

Todd created a lot of problems for himself. He's awfully good at making his own life more difficult (and Blair's too).

" I told her she does not need a love potion. Her parents already love each other." So true, voodoo lady. If only TnB could admit their love for one another. Then Blair would be less afraid of what Todd might do and less inclined to test him and lie! Meanwhile, he might not get himself so worked up and angry in any given situation. They might begin, slowly, to trust one another again.

Sam has good reasons for feeling the way he does. He was at the wedding. Plus, he knows how frightened Blair is because of the results of Todd's betrayal. I like that he straight talks with Todd who needs to be reminded that his out of control actions have consequences, not just in regard to Blair but also with others like Sam. Todd keeps burning bridges.

"We belong together." So true! But Todd is going to have to work harder to get Blair back this time. Plus, as she says, she is hurt and angry re: his quick betrayal of her. Now, neither of them trusts the other which becomes a real problem when she finds out that she's pregnant and is fearful of telling him the truth.

Kelly tries so hard here to convince Todd to do the right thing. Very soon, he'll come to regret all of his behavior toward Blair since the wedding and even feel the need to offer to give up his own freedom in exchange for Blair's!

I miss this Sonny

Im shocked neither considered it blaors bone thin she had slept w/ max last in nov this is about april like wtf

Where did kelly get a doctored test? Food coloring ? This is so stupid. They have her clothes max has been screaming blair did it & hank admitted sam said blair did it & was preparing an insanity defense. Now max months later b/c shes pregnant is gonna say blair wasnt the shooter when he gave a statement he was shot in the back & didnt know who did it. Anything to f up tnb sadly. U got a hot young rh back finally their dream came true to have 2 babies the last supercouple oltl had since old repcipe tina & cord w/ andrea evans & john lo. Tnb were very different but hoth coupes had 2 babies boy & girl both couples married 3x & if u count the end of oltl 4x & the online show tnb married the 4th time. No other big supercouples joe riley & viki ended fast & climt & viki were always in trauma & chaos. I found bo & nora self righteous esp when bo became a commissioner & hos first day attested dorian lord for an q8 year old murder she wascleared of & nora of course screwed that case badly b/c she refused to go in for the kill on bo & viki ??? Doriam was on trial for death !!! Then noras mad at dorian for beimg depressed shes on death row 24/7 solitary than viki shows up saying if u asmit u murceted " father " ill aak hank to have u get life wtf. Meanwhile viki killed him. Then the show kept messing w/ it victor after 30 years looks vikis age & is alive & returned from the dead mitch after 20 years waa left everything. Then doroan his murferer marries him the weiting was getting horrible after about 98 picked up w/ the gloriois rh returning in 00 w/ maxs shooting tnb as paterners in crime but the writets ruined. One min they are super close the next blair runs off w/ starr first she tried barbados then disney. Todd saved her yet she kept jeekimg him adound. My god i sat through this pregnancy story & blaor redused for 7 nontjs to say its ur baby todd. Then the whole jack lie would have been avoided. Then having todd pay off a whole county mobsters who were threatening her when he was on an island plus the constant maternity payernity xhanged of stupid natalie the tramp & sucked onto the bukes jesses sloppy seconds yet she was the heroine of the show.a forced imitation of andrea evans diwn to her buzarre marroage to mutch ??? Tina & mitch were the hot couple b4 cord when mitch waant a rapiat religious zealot just a con man a more conniving mean one than david vickets b4 they redeemed him making him bos son of course was crazy but it waa worth it for bo to be doroans fathee in law lol. Rhs return again ruined in 2011 other than his always beautiful connections to viki & id say jesse the 2 people who took him in b4 a dna test or irene ( insanity ) saying todd was really todd. Then irenes ghost made him believe he killed victor when he didnt tina also came through giving him. Back his dorune that victor jr stole

Even though Todd doesn't take Dr. Rae seriously, its still kind of sweet that he wants to "fix" himself for Blair.

Blair saying that she so mistrusts Todd that she's willing to marry max who she doesn't even like or love! But Todd has given her reason: betraying her re: Max's shooting (he fixed the results of his treachery but the trust is gone; he betrayed her too readily), taking Starr from her twice, the memory of his kidnapping of Starr years ago. She also knows from experience how impulsive and vengeful his temper can be. Plus, Kelly has fueled Blair's fears.

Its a shame how Todd handles his anger and insecurities in ways that end up hurting not just those around him but also hurting himself. He repeats that pattern a number of times over the years.

Todd really did help Blair a lot! That St Annes is a pretty cushy place and she ended up being there for a very short period of time.

Always love it when Todd and Blair work together. They are so much fun. Hard to understand why the writers didn't see how great this couple could be if they allowed them to team up more often: funny, interesting, sexy, crazy. Such a shame to keep them fighting instead.

Todd can be filled with rage. The things he's done to Blair, (and Tea) when enraged, are sad. Its hard to watch him lose it like this because he loves Blair and he becomes his own worst enemy. As Vicki tells him, he'll soon regret his actions. That's especially true with Blair. He'll want her back in a big time way and have to work hard to make things right (even offering his own freedom for hers). Unfortunately, the trust she had in him has been broken so there's now no trust on either end.

Love it. Not your average proposal nor your average couple, I'm happy to say.

Cant believe that Todd is wondering if Blair is going to bolt in the morning. Why would he think that? They constantly underestimate each other's love. Random note: Love your sarcasm about Sykes and the girlfriend.

Todd offering himself to Blair that way; using those words, certainly makes it sound like he would have left tea for her if she'd asked. "It's right here. It always has been. All you have to do is take it." This is the 3rd proposal since they met(Todd will go on to propose to Blair 5 more times before the end of his story!).

Poor Brenda should have Never Went on that Date with Sonny🥵 she should have known better after what he did to Karen . Ge got her hooked on drugs turned her into a Stripper&Prostitute . What kind of man does that? Only men like Sonny affiliated with the Mob& has a Secret Hatred for Certain girls&Women!!! Abd he’s a jerk Allways will be💯

This was the first time Todd and Blair were together, intimately, since Todd came home from his no sex deal with Tea. His trust issues are there but he puts them aside and loves her. (Such a difference from he and Tea.) They conceive Jack on this night.

Good comment " I wonder if he regrets the damage he has caused." I hadn't thought about that. Todd has a conscience sometimes but certainly not always.

So glad Todd did right by Starr here. He needs to realize how much she loves her mother just as Blair needs to realize how much Starr loves Todd. The game playing with Starr gets SO old during these years no matter who does it or why. (Laziness on the writers' part.)

It's amazing how quickly Todd starts seeking Blair out on his return. He's hard to read re: his exact motivations until that day when she kisses him at his office and he lights up like a Christmas tree and stays really happy for awhile after she leaves. Obviously, he's been open to a reunion.

Amusing, with Todd sitting right there, that Blair was describing max so appreciatively as having been an "animal" the night before. She once told Max, when she was mad, that he was not a good lover but her expression here tells a whole different story. Maybe good sex kept her with Max even when she became aware of he and Skye. I can't imagine why else she would have been hooked on that man. (Blair's lucky to have had husbands who knew how to please in bed. She had especially high praise for Todd, Victor and Eli as lovers but this was not the first time she looked happy after a night with Max.)

Blair's plan to marry Max is based mainly on fear. She'd marry Max even though she doesn't love him and she still loves Todd. Later, she also considers running with Jack even though her whole life is in Llanview: Starr(!), her mother, Todd, her cousins, etc. Only fear would explain her willingness to take those drastic steps.

Blair saying "It's over." Uh-huh. It never again is truly over with she and Todd.

In a few episodes Todd helps Blair stay out of prison. This may be the start of his plan or it could simply be him being mean and vindictive. Not sure.

Love your sarcasm: "Um Todd, it's not like she turned you in to the police and you are now facing prison time or she remarried and took your baby away while you were in a coma!" And your comment about Blair's inconsistent thoughts re:Todd and kids, "Todd, you are so sick and depraved that there is no way Blair would have your kid again but by all means help her raise the kid." Lol to both.

I know that Kelly loves Blair and I totally get why she wants Blair to forget Todd. But Blair's right and I wish Blair wouldnt put so much stock in Kelly's advice! Encouraging Blair to continue to lie re the baby and to continue to mistrust Todd is not good advice!! (Random note-Love Mariette Hartley.)

Blair doesn't trust Todd due to his betrayal and recent vindictiveness. Still, she's definitely inclined here to tell Todd about the baby but, instead, Kelly furthers the seeds of mistrust. Sometimes Kelly (and Dorian's) advice is so bad. And Blair relies too much on the Cramer womens' counsel.

This Sam can be a very annoying guy but he's got it right here about Todd feeling guilty and helping Blair get an easy sentence. She was allowed out of that asylum so fast!

Todd makes me feel for him here. He's taking responsibility for his bad behavior and at least talking about change. I just wish that there wasn't so much self hatred involved. That's sad and counterproductive. And his reference to his fathers is sad. Believing people love him is very hard for Todd and Blair's feelings toward him matter so much. I wish he would more often convey the depth of those feelings to her and he'd find a way to stop self-sabotaging with her.

Todd wanting to change because of Blair is sad but kind of sweet, too.

RJ and Todd-2 great villains and so much fun together!

Kelly mind ur buisness let ur grown cousin tell her daughters father that hes gonna be a dad again. Blair picked him!
