Okay. Hate may be a strong word. Ana adds nothing to the story for me. She takes up valuable screen time that could be spent on Barb, Marg and Nicki or Alby and Dale. I feel the same way about her that I feel about Marilyn and everything at the casino not taking place in the sweat lodge. Basically, Ana;s presence meant we didn't get to see a scene where Nicki decides to dress like a prostitute or the scene where Nicki drives her tramatized daughter home after the aborted sealing. My thoughts exactly! There were so many other storylines I was way more interested in. I really hope she's lying about it being Bill's baby. And he should get a paternity test. I mean how could she possibly know that it was conceived on that EXACT night? She wasn't exactly celibate before or after that. Everyone knows it too.

rissmeek, thank you for reminding me that their goal is to grow their family. Even so, I would still think that a child born from a non sealed mother would be hard news to take in. Ana's child would really not grow up in their family. Ana does not seem one bit interested in their religion.
I hope like many others that Ana's baby turns out not to be Bill's.

I think the baby is Bill's all right. And the villain of the piece is not Ana but the fiance, who is willing to take on another man's child, and has advised her to get a lawyer and a written agreement.
I think the fiance is out to blackmail Bill. He knows the child is Bill's, knows Bill has a lot of money (at least by Serbian standards), and probably has heard Ana's story of the marriage. That's a lot of fodder for blackmail.
Ana is in for a world of hurt from this guy, I think.

Totally agree with marionja2 above. In fact, I have been waiting for her to turn up pregnant since the time she had relations with Bill the first time. Definitely have a paternity test. However, I think that Bill expects to take custody of the child eventually as in the FLDS children and women belong to the men, ie husband/father and/or prophet/church.

I had to join just to post in this.
I'm not so convinced it's Bill's baby. Something definitely seems up with Ana, to me she seems kind of nervous and maybe I just read way too much into stuff but I think there is more to this story.
I agree with suspicion that Ana's fiance will play heavily into this. My theory is that either the baby isn't Bill's but her fiance's and they both know it and this is all a scam or the most likely is that Ana isn't sure the exact paternity of her baby. Afterall we do know the baby was conceived before she married Bill and we know that she was seeing this guy while she was dating Bill so I say there's a decent chance that she's not positive whose baby it is.
My prediction is that her fiance is going to try and get some "hush money" from Bill since he is in a campaign right now and could easily be destroyed by Ana coming forward. It doesn't even have to come out that Bill's involved in polygamy, just the fact that another woman is carrying his child is enough. An adultry scandal could just as easily ruin him. And I think either Bill will call his bluff and we find out the baby isn't Bill's or Bill will ultimately choose himself and his career over his unborn child (if it is his) paying off Ana (who I think will be feeling very guilty) and her fiance to leave and keep quiet. At least that's the only scenerio I can see playing out if the baby does in fact turn out to be Bill's. I'm pretty sure Ana isn't going to be a recurring character in any future seasons plus it doesn't really add much to the story for Bill to have this baby out there that he sees once a month. I don't think it will get resolved that easily. And I think if Bill were to choose his campaign over his child then that's something that could potentially break Barb away and she'll see he isn't really the righteous man on a holy path that he likes to claim.
Anyway those are my thoughts. Of course it could go any way but I'm just hoping it's resolved soon, I'm in the party that Ana just takes away from more interesting characters. I was glad when they were divorced so quickly and she was gone last season though I had a suspicion she'd be back. I have nothing personal against the actress I just think there is no chemistry between her and Bill or the other wives and I think the character in general just isn't interesting.

Welcome to the board silversprings!!! I agree with everything you said! At the very least, Anna cannot be sure the baby is Bill's. That is the bottom line and if Bill, Barb and the other wives don't see that, then they are just blind. They all knew about the guy she was seeing while she and Bill were apart and they all know she cheated on Bill with that same guy when they got back together again.

I dont recall Ana ever actually saying the baby was Bill's - he and everyone else just kind of assumed. In fact when they firt saw her and he asked... she never said anything, he just rolled with it. I agree that there is no way she could be certain the baby is Bill's. My point is just that the only reason the henrickson's seem to be is because they assumed so, not b.c she told them so. So maybe she didnt set out to scam them, but after facing the henricksons again decided to seize the opportunity. welcome silversprings.

Anna did not seem like an opportunist last season, but that has all changed for me.
I agree, she didn't say it was Bill's baby, but she didn't deny it either.

Wow!! You guys are really causing me to wonder about this baby now!! I hope it is resolved in the next epi. I kind of liked Ana; I hope that she is not just out to scam the Henricksons.

So I don't think this stupid baby storyline is going to be wrapped up as quickly as her marriage to Bill was... Unfortunately. I think a lot of what is going on this season is going to be dragged into next season and we're going to be left hanging in the season finale big time.

Yeah, I can see the whole "baby daddy" story line carrying over to next season. I'm thinking that's prbably why we didnt see ana's return until now... just long enought left in the season to buid up something and then leave us hanging at the height of it.

Another reason I think Anna is scamming...
Remember last season after her marriage to Bill, she wanted her own house and told him that she has a huge savings, that she could afford a downpayment on a house.
Well we all know a typical downpayment on a house is usually 10% correct? The average house on Bill's block I am assuming is in the 200-300k range so she would have to come up with at least what, 20k down?
Now suddenly she's pregnant, "working 15 hours a day on her feet JUST to make ends meet" as Barb put it?
AND Anna has a fiance? Is he not working? I mean what the heck?
She has a modest apartment, her bills can't be THAT high, unless she is one of those nuts that spends 20k on a baby nursery the baby will outgrow in a year, none of this makes sense!
How much time has supposedly passed since last season? How pregnant is she supposed to be exactly?
I have heard 6 weeks some places... But by the looks of her belly I'd say 6 months? Right?
My point is... If I blew through a savings in such a short time where I had to work 15 hours on my feet JUST to make ends meet, I would have a worse problem than Nikki did in season 1!
What do you all think?
