That could explain the older children's absence. The dedication at the end of the show was to Christopher Allport. I didn't know that he was the actor who played Pete's father. He died in a an avalanche while skiing in January.

The only difference now? It's 2008, not 1962. Sources confirm to me exclusively that Sommer, who plays Mad Men's bespectacled and bow-tied ad exec Harry Crane, has put in for a (temporary) transfer to the Scranton branch of Dunder-Mifflin. In other words, he's guest starring in an episode of The Office. Details about Sommer's role are being closely guarded-an Office insider would only reveal that his character "ties in with a surprise twist"-but this much I can tell you: He'll turn up in the comedy's Sept. 25 season premiere.

It's quite obvious that Peggy was deemed to be in need of involuntary commitment, which left her family to be the legal guardians of the baby. It's an interesting storyline and I think Peggy is in deep denial about this one baby. Well..that explains her being away from work for two months at a "Fat Farm"

And Draper definitely does it for me too. Actually most of the men on this show are smoking. Sterling, Ken, Peter, Draper, Paul... all totally doable.

(my take is the beginning "kind" joan's bitch took over at the end, and those comments would have applied to any chick.) what is clear is that sheila was the best person in the room in that scene. "i love your purse." rising above paul's pretentiousness and joan's bitch. <3 sheila. Last Edited By: OG sofa 08/04/08 10:04 PM. Edited 2 times.

Vincent Kartheiser was all that. Definitely think Peggy was institutionalized/committed and was in denial about her pregnancy. The girl was petrified when she looked into see her baby (and I think she only had one baby). It's only been two years. I'm starting to dislike Betty though. Her harsh comments about her son's "dishonesty" was obviously all about Don, and while she has every right to be pissed off with Don (she either knows about his infidelities or worse, that he's not really Don Draper), she should not project that on to her son. Hell, you can smell the destruction of the relationship between mother and son. How fun was Joan vs. Paul? Don't let the curves fool you. Bitch has plenty of sharp edges to go with! <3 (Sucks that this show isn't available in HD until Monday).

Do you believe this, or are you just trying to be a douche?

They looked way to young to be that other lady's children, she looked old enough to be Peggy's mother, her children would have been teenagers.

Posts: 19886 (08/05/08 8:30 AM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Peggy's sister did not look too old to be the other kids' mother (especially since she looked much younger than the woman playing Peggy's mother). Why even bother making a big deal about Peggy's pregnancy in season 1 and now if she'd already had kids 2 or 3 times before? It also doesn't make sense that her very Catholic mother would somehow be okay with her having all those children and not raising them, okay enough to brag about Peggy's job to friends and family.
