She really doesn't look like Julie or Max! :D

Cute baby though! ;)

She is adorable. She was on last night.

Also the house they rented, moved into was so nice. And all the furniture came with it. What a deal!!

I agree she was very cute

Yeah. But they all act like they could care less if she is there or not! For new parents, Julie and Max don't seem like they are over the moon about their new baby girl! Esp. Julie , being the mother. The writers could have made her be a little more enthused over her baby! And Barbara , a first time Aunt should be more excited too! It's like baby Annie is just off in the corner somewhere and even when they hold her, it's like they are holding a doll or something ! :confused: Has anyone else noticed this too?

Yes they your her like a prop or pet.

I noticed that they left her with Alex and Schneider and they almost burned her with hot milk.

She does look a little like Bonnie.

Foreshadowing.

I thought that Julie and Max were good parents and didn't ignore the baby. Yes, they were not with the baby 24/7 but they were out working, looking for work or just having some "me" time and I am ok with that. Plus, we also have to realize that the baby is not the focus of the show but a representative of what is a part of their lives. I just hate what is written later in the season as a result of some behind the scene politics between actor and producer.

I couldn't believe they named her Ann. I was like "Really, writers? That's where you went??"

Yeah, it seems the ONLY one who really was interested in her was her Great-Grandma Romano and remember how her pleas to Ann [the baby's namesake] to stay in town for the baby's sake was played for laughs and derision- as though it proved she was a stupid old biddy who was just being selfish for daring to suggest that Ann have any consideration for a tiny baby whose mother had abandoned her and whose father was barely interested in her . :mad:

A shame they didn't name her Katherine ! ;)

At least they didn't make "Romano" her middle name! :D Ann Romano Horvath !!!! :p


At least last night it showed some bonding with the baby from Julie and Barbara . And that bedtime story was so cute. A shame in a few eps. what is going to happen! :(

That episode Marked Mackenzie's last appearance on the show. Not sure if that was her last, taped show but it was the last air date for her appearance.

Sad!! :(

I'm not surprised seeing how bad she looked in it. As for the comments above about Julie not seeming to be very enthused about the baby, perhaps it's because Mackenzie herself did not have the energy to act enthused. Frankly, she looks like Karen Carpenter looked in her final days.

Yeah true. Being on drugs to her extend would wear a person down. She probably had very low energy and it was showing through in her acting! Also she knew they were observing her to make sure she wasn't using right? So that must have been hard working/acting being under a microscope! :(

But she so obviously WAS using.

Barbara seemed to love taking care of little Annie for the weekend in last night's two-part episode.

I know. That was so sweet! ;) Than it turned out they couldn't adopt little Jesse after all! :( As messed up as it was for Julie to leave her baby, I think she had it in mind that Barbara would raise little Annie as her own, and she would be in good hands! ;)

It's sad how her roll on the show was drastically reduced. She would usually only have a few lines per ep.
In the earlier seasons she was the focus of a lot episodes that weren't about Ann's relationship troubles.:crazy:
Julie was too young to carry an entire show and there wasn't much of an extended cast.
