I feel the same way about my soon-to-be stepson! When my soon-to-be hubby and his son came into my life, I felt like it was a gift from God...like a family that was hand-picked just for me. I know, that probably sounds corny! I think Sandra Bullock could pull of the role in a great way...she has such a great ability of portraying her characters in such a real way...I get choked up every time I watch 28 Days!

She's already a stepmom to Jesse James' 3 kids, and according to an article I just read, 'Bullocks says of Chandler, 12, Jesse Jr, 9 and Sunny, 3: "My love and my hopes for their future and their happiness...are no less than if they were my own biological children. I have my family, and it's the family that some higher power put in my path. I feel really lucky." ' Or Joely Fisher, who also has personal experience in the stepmom role. Both she and Sandra seem like "real" down-to-earth women who would be easy to relate to, or even sit down and have friendly chat with. I’d love to see Sandra Bullock play a stepmom.

I'd like that. And I'll have no part in this 90210 remake. It was a silly show to begin with! What do you girls think of Kate Winslet playing a step mom? I’d like that.

Only you could manage to pull in Tori Spelling and 90210 into your stepmom blog and make it work (and make me laugh). Thanks for the continued words of wisdom and entertainment.

I don't however see her as a good stepmom character. I think she would be more of the lets be friends, I need you to like me type...which, I don't believe is our role in a child's life...step or not. And besides, how is she going to become a stepmom? Illegitimate child that David just finds out about, or are they getting divorced & she remarried? Okay, I'll admit, I watched the show a lot...I still do when I get some time for guilty pleasures and it's showing on the SoapNet!! I have no shame...I'm addicted to 90210 and The OC! As far as why they are remaking it. Probably because they think it will get the same draw as it did in its prime. They will be disappointed. And I had no idea she was a stepmom, she should be proud of that!! I’m probably one a few who liked Donna, I more-so like the David-Donna thing than her alone, but still a fan.

And she's keeping it a dirty little secret? Shame on you, Tori. Wait a minute– she IS a stepmom? And she’s keeping it a dirty little secret? Shame on you, Tori.

You make me laugh aloud. ;) I like Tori Spelling in an "it's funny to watch her bitch and moan on Inn Love" kind of way, but I don't have the utmost confidence that she would be able to play a good role of stepmom on television. And, oh no no! So Vee says Tori actually is a stepmom, no? Hmm...just what we need-someone that doesn't acknowledge being a stepmom in real life playing a stepmom on television....perfect. Oh, Izzy!

(This wife is a writer and wrote an essay about being thrown over for Tori Spelling, how completely unreal the experience was.) Thus, Tori actually IS a stepmom (interesting that she doesn't mention this, eh?). In any case, the nuance and complexities of blended families deserves representation by someone who can offer nuance and complexity.

'she' needs to be a bit more believable than the character Ms Spelling would portray. We are a smart and savvy bunch- us stepmoms - we need someone with chops like Kate Blanchett representing our tribe.
