[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 139161, member: 27"] They've always portrayed Anders as being protective of and loyal to the Carrington family, as in "slightly uncomfortably overprotective". The way he came down on Celia, letting her know he knew all her secrets (when we now know he didn't*) laid the groundwork for him being the protector of the Carrington dynasty against all who seek to worm their way in. Once Celia became Mrs. C, however, he was willing to do all kinds of derring-do to keep her safe from Iris and her husband, to keep Celia's secrets. As far as he was concerned, she was now a Carrington just as much as the 'blood' Carringtons. So now we're being told that he slept with the First Mrs. Carrington, and that flies in the face of this image of his being the family's greatest champion, since such an act would (and should) destroy the young marriage of the heir to the dynasty. It seems a very out-of-character thing for him to do. But it seems perfectly in-character for Alexis, so I'm withholding judgment on the events until we have the rest of the back-story...and a DNA test would help. It might be yet another of their false starts (and I certainly hope so). * Mini-rant: When Anders did that deep-dig into Celia's past to discover she was actually Celia Machado and not Cristal Flores, it should have been revealed to him that the "real Cristal" was alive and well and living in Sedona. The background check on "Cristal Flores" revealed Celia's masquerade, and should have also revealed who the real Cristal was. Furthermore, after Celia's assumed name/situation was revealed, you would think Anders would have advised Mrs. Cristal Carrington that her "dead" friend was alive and living in Arizona...and Celia ought to reach out to her to clear up the identity theft problems (in other words, pay the chick off).
