Foreshadowing something?


Okay, lately we've gotten a few too many comments about how Michelle and Sasha are so similar. It's weird that they keep bringing that up unless it's actually going to lead to something. I sort of think they might be implying that Sasha is Michelle's daughter.

I mean age wise it's certainly a possibility. And based on Michelle's past who knows if she got pregnant and gave the kid up or sold her eggs or something. Also they do believably look like they could be related.

Not to mention we know Sasha's father was gay, so that sets up the possibility they either adopted or used one of the many scientific ways to make a baby. Plus Sasha's mother being so cold to her is sort of weird. There seems to be a limited amount of love those parents have for her.

To me it seems like all the piece's are there for that to be where this is heading. Granted this is all speculation and I'm probably just over thinking it...

It is an interesting thought (one that I hadn't thought of yet) and I could see that happening, but I don't think it's where they are going with it.

I think they are just setting it up for them to end up living together - Michelle being Sasha's guardian. That's my thought even after seeing her having her own apartment. She obviously doesn't want to be alone seeing how she ended up at Michelle's place and all. Maybe Michelle will actually move into the apartment instead of Sasha moving into the guest house?

But I do like your idea and of course, with tv, anything is possible!

It's an interesting idea, but ASP would never write that to happen it would just be far too coincidental. Really they're just setting it up for Michelle to be Sasha's stand-in mother to develop a Lorelai/Rory relationship on the show.

That's an interesting theory, but I tend to agree with the other replies. I think they are just setting up the two to live together with Michelle as a guardian type person in her life.

However, your post got me to thinking something. Maybe Hubble had found out the information about Sasha's birth mother (assuming she is, in fact, adopted) and tracked her down to LV and then the resulting infatuation occurred. Maybe part of his plan the whole time was to get the two together eventually because for whatever reason he knew Sasha was miserable at home. That would actually be pretty cool because it would be less of a coincidence and make Hubble seem more justified in how he "found" Michelle.

All I can say is I hope you're wrong. :P That would be far too contrived and soap opera-y which is pretty anti-ASP. Also, why are we assuming Sasha is adopted without even the tiniest shred of evidence? :D

Well, like I said, I agreed with you and the other poster who thought it was all leading up to them just living together in a sort of guardian relationship.

However, if they did go the mother/daughter route, it would be better to have more depth to it than just, "OMG, what a coincidence."

It's just a theory, not one that I think will be right, but a theory nonetheless.

"Also, why are we assuming Sasha is adopted without even the tiniest shred of evidence?"

Gay father + mother who cared so little that she let her live by herself = ?

Really it wouldn't be a stretch that she's adopted.

A 20 year old who has a kid and isn't ready or able to take care of it who gives that kid up for adoption isn't abandoning their baby, they are doing the responsible thing.
