A Tree Falls in Milborough

Since April's Real Blog revolves around April, I have been anxiously waiting to see if April is going to break up with Gerald. My fear is that this will be one of those things like when Becky left the band and April stewed about it all summer only to confront Becky by accident the next September. Will we have to wait until September for the resolution? I hope not, but when I read today's strip about the tree disaster on the Stibbs place, I have the feeling that Lynn Johnston is getting ready to run some more interpersonal relationship stuff with the crowded house. With Elizabeth gone to her own apartment, the majour conflict is gone. Elizabeth was mad at Mike for being successful, and mad at April for butting into her personal life, and really there were no other conflicts, aside from Deanna and April expressing their dislike of Merrie and Robin and April expressing her dislike of the rec room.

It occurred to me that we haven't seen Mira and Wilf Sobinski in awhile, so they might show up. We haven't seen Elly play with the grandchildren yet, so she could do that in a vain attempt to make us think she is a good grandmother.

Considering how LJ burned me with the whole Becky feud, you can see why I refuse to have April act before/unless the strip addresses this! :)

Absolutely. If the strip were lasting through September instead of stopping in September, I would expect Lynn Johnston to wait until then for April to do anything. If we get a reaction, and it seems likely we will, considering April consulted Liz about it, then at least we know it will happen before September. It may even happen before April goes to Winnipeg, so Gerald is out of the way, if Bev offers for her to live there.
