Apparently, no one knows about Jo's affair with Sandy Parrant and all believe Cork was the philanderer in their marriage. What do you think about that?


Phrynne | 607 comments People always expect it to be the man. I don't suppose it will matter in the end. Jo and Cork both know and that 's the main thing.


Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 694 comments It's not fair but I suppose they both think that it's better all the way around if no one knows that Jo had an affair with a murderer. If it had just been some "normal", boring man maybe it'd be different but that whole her-lover-killed-his-lover thing is probably a bridge too far to explain. Jo knows and feels guilty about it at least.

Oh, yeah, I think both of them would prefer people not know Jo had an affair with a murderer. Great point.

Society also seems to be much more forgiving of cheating men than they are willing to be for women. It's what's probably best for the family in the long run.


Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 694 comments Yes, the double standard is still in effect.


Phrynne | 607 comments I really hope they do get back together.


Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 694 comments They seem to make a good team.


Angela | 155 comments It might be a different story if Sandy hadn't been a murderer. I feel like they would both prefer for people not to know Jo had an affair.


Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 7669 comments Mod
And I wonder if Cork would have been so willing to let her off the hook.


Angela | 155 comments I guess Jo might still be with Sandy if he hadn't been a murderer, so would have added a whole new dynamic to the series.

She hid it, while he seemed more open about Molly. At the end of the day they both cheated...so it's really their dilemma.
