I am disappointed that the show has gone on hiatus but realize that sometimes we need a break. The only thing that I think went awry during the episode where Sharon was challenged about her relationship with Pierce is that they should have taken a break and come back with different topics, if they could. It is not unusual to have friends have disagreements and need some time to settle down. As far as Sharon is concerned, I think she is a kind, thoughtful and sincere lady who like the rest of us is learning about some of her unintentional prejudices. Give everyone a break and come back to the table. Love the show and the discussions.
