Wanda andJoey

[sewitgoes]

this has driven me nuts for the past two seasons ...why in the world are they keeping "joey Jr" so young? he was born in season 1 (or maybe early season 2) yet each time they show him he was still a baby...even this season the one time I remember seeing him, he was in Wanda's arms looking like he still can't walk and he looks younger than Margenes' last baby (can't remember her name) I'm trying to figure out why in the world they don't want him to grow up

Welcome to the board sewitgoes!!!

I have also wondered why Joey Jr. is staying a baby lol!

[rissmeek]

Maybe it's cheaper to have a baby than an older child?

Strange...

Margene went from barely to not looking pregnant at all to having a huge baby girl, and Joey jr is still an infant...

[sewitgoes]

I'm wondering if since Joey Jr isn't a "major" character, paying a baby actor is cheaper than paying a child actor...but it still bothers me when they do this kind of thing....do the writers think we're too stooooopid to notice??
PS...thanks for the welcom:-)

Haha, maybe the writers are too stupid to notice!

I agree, it really annoys me as well. More so last season, though, when Joey was born during season two, and Nell sometimes between season two and three, yet Nell looked so much larger.

thank you, aliensummer....Margie's baby's name is Nell....I couldn't remember...

Sunday's episode reminded me of what a chump Joey is...I had completely forgotten. He was so aggressive and assertive last season and now he's back to being manipulated...ugh.

I was starting to think he was really sexy too.

Joey might have a trick up his sleeve yet...

I wouldn't put it past him to aid Wanda in JJ's death next lol! Shit, I bet he could even get Alby and Lura's help there!

Actually, Joey Jr was born in the first season so his age is even more out of whack. At least this season they have him looking as if he is finally old enough to sit up, though he is still too small for when he was born.

I love Wanda & Joey----- It seems like the baby being kept so small, seems to be strange-- but it does at least place Wanda in a protective mode as she carries him around----- I love the way Joey & Wanda love one another & even tho I loved Kathy -- I didn't understad how deeply Joey fell for her---- but I loved the way Wanda supported him after her death and prior to her death told Kathy she could be first wife--- Of course Kathy was vert sweet to Wanda as well

[kambria]

"told Kathy she could be first wife--- Of course Kathy was vert sweet to Wanda as well"

It seemed weird to me that Wanda would suggest this to Kathy. Why would Wanda want Kathy to be first wife? She was Joey's first love after all, and the mother of his first born child. Did she feel somehow incompetent?

Also, I am not sure if I am the only one who noticed this but it seemed weird how Wanda looked at Kathy for the last time when she went to look for flowers for her hair. That shot of Wanda sitting at the keyboard playing "This little light of mine" was quite spooky to me. It was almost as if Wanda knew something....

Anyone else pick up on that?

I think Wanda was just feeling really insecure (understandably so). Remeber he rgoing to Barb and taking notes on how to be a first wife? lol I dont think she was up to it, and so asked kathy to be. Wanda has some psychological issues for sure but i really like her- bet we'll find out where some of them come from in relation to JJ.

I think Wanda had her jealousies regarding Kathy, but realized towards the end that Kathy would make a better first wife.

Wanda knows she isn't quite right upstairs. She was peeing the bed and hiding it, she was trying to make this crazy schedule with peas glued all over it...Kathy was just more stable and I think Wanda eventually realized that.

I thought she seemed genuinely happy the day of the wedding and genuinely devistated when Kathy died.
