Erica and Ryan went on a business trip together in episodes early this spring. Their car broke down, they found a cabin in the woods, they drew separate baths and, when Erica climbed on Ryan's shoulders searching for better cell phone reception, she slipped and fell into his arms. Viewers noticed the chemistry and writers decided to capitalize on it. June 22, when he kisses her on the cheek, is the first "butterfly moment," Carruthers said. She believes the story will mean more to viewers than other TV cougar stories simply because it's been nearly 40 years of Lucci's character.

"Think about this," Lucci said. "I slept with his father. He slept with my daughter. There has to be, at a certain point, (thoughts of) what does he know about me? What does he think he knows about me? As an actor, there's so much material to plumb into."

Memo to Reality Producers: It's Time to Call Jenny Craig
Jonathan Reiner writes: "If programmers and execs really want to reflect reality, how about acknowledging that Americans live overloaded lives with barely enough time to eat and exercise, let alone devote hours and hours in front of the tube laboriously watching our reality favorites."
