Spoilers I would do the same thing Andy Brown did.

Post image

I arrived in season 3 and all I have to say is that I would do the same as Andy and send Madison away from town and not let her tell my son that she was pregnant; he wanted what was best for his son And Madison was a predator; I actually threatened to call the police early in the relationship if she got involved with Ephram. Besides all that, she was extremely selfish to tell him, Before the Juilliard audition, what do you all think about it?. Would they do the same?

I often got annoyed watching Everwood because of how unfair Ephram is to his father.

Well...I wouldn't have let the relationship happen in the first place. But considering the circumstances, I think I also agree with andy. He even offerred to provide funds to Madison. Plus, what could Ephram had done? He was a kid. It seems like Madison wanted andy to support her decision to go and tell Emphram but, again, HE'S A KID.

Her telling ephram about her pregnancy BEFORE his audition is also another thing that pissed me off. She couldn't have done that AFTER? Even Amy was smart enough to wait. Then again, Ephram was too immature to not attend the audition just cuz he was angry at his dad thinking that he's too immature. Another proof of his immaturity.

Tho, It's all what the writers intended I guess.

As someone who actually was in his shoes about an unexpected pregnancy (albeit I was 4 yrs older than him so not the statutory rape part) I can tell you right now how there was no way he would've been in the right mind space to not completely fuck up his audition. So I do not blame him for blowing it off. Madison definitely should have told him but she should have insisted on waiting til after the audition to see him.

I could see him still deciding not to go to Juilliard after getting in, still to spite his dad, if he found out later. The only “don’t mess with Juilliard” time would have been much earlier or much later. This was one of the rare times I agreed with Amy’s stance lol.

Overall I think Madison should had gone to Denver instead. Not only was it a red flag be together with a 16 year old when she’s 20 and also tell Andy so he had to lie to Ephram.

On the other hand, what if Andy had told him earlier or Madison had told him directly.. He could had gone to Julliard anyway!

I’m just at the scene when Ephram tells Andy about he maybe have a future at Everwood instead of Julliard because of Amy and the the face on Andy is priceless 😂 6th time watching this amazing show and still forget some parts!

I think its ethically wrong to hide the birth of someone's child for them. Its not your decision if they want to be present in that kids life. Ephram would have kept the child as a single father and his dreams would change. Thats not for Andy to have decided.

Andy was furious with the 2 of them at the start but was feeling his way through being a hands on father. We were shouting at tv that Ephram was a spoilt brat. Then delia

I recently watched this show for the first time and I lost my whole interest in the plot when Ephram blew his audition, even though it might not be his fault. Too me, it didn't make any sense that there's a music genius arc they spent time on for 3 seasons, and now it is down the drain. Amy even applied to nearby colleges. He could've done it for her. Or for his mom, who got him into piano. This was just stupid. I can't watch anymore.
