And actually they were 2nd cousins. OK, sorry, I hate being technical about stuff, but that's a giant distinction. More to the point though, they never interacted during any of the time they were supposedly related (as JS stated). Also, these writers paired Brady with his near-stepmother who held him as a baby. There really is no line.
I LOVE Jen Lilley and think she is doing a fantastic job as Jeannie Theresa. I want them to come up with some way out of this boondoggle, because she is too good an actress to lose. Heck, if EJ can do what he's done and walk around free, I'm sure they'll find a way to keep Jeannie T around. And I look forward to Jen Lilley playing it.
