So I’m trying to get caught up on my ABC Family shows and posts. First up . . . “The Fosters!”

I’m really enjoying this show a lot, but would like to see more storylines for the grown-ups. I get it’s essentially about the kids, and ABC Family definitely centers on young adult shows/storylines, but I want to know more about the parents. The last episode with Marianna’s quinceanera did go there with the one parent Lena and her own mom, who have a rough past because she’s bi-racial and her mother has constantly told her she’ll never face the challenges a black woman faces. I thought that was a really well done storyline.

The forbidden relationship between Callie and Brandon is actually annoying me. I know we are supposed to be routing for them, and Brandon’s now ex-girl friend was a total beyotch, but honestly all I can think about is how Callie’s gunna screw things up for her younger brother.

Brandon’s ex, who read Callie’s journal, told him to ask Callie about Liam . . . who I believe is the guy she and Jude were staying with before Lena and Stef. Hmmmm, now I’m wondering what happened between them and why Callie really got sent to juvie!

Spoilers for the next three episodes below . . . .
