Very uncomfortable to watch

These Thomas/Douglas scenes are way too dark. How can they make Thomas' redemption believable after this? His last redemption arc wasn't very convincing, but IDK how anyone will take it seriously after this. No matter how many times he says he regrets it and wants to change, they're making it impossible to believe it.

He isn't just asking Douglas to keep a secret... he is raising his voice and threatening him to cover up his crap. I hate the tone he is using. Very creepy. I can overlook a lot of wrongdoings in soap operas. Even Emma's death, I honestly don't care whether he killed her or not. But attacking a child like this is... this makes my blood boil. I had chills while watching this last scene. Another very grim story.

I often wonder if children can separate fiction and reality if they're asked to act in scenes like this. I know they are actors but they are also still children with brains that are not fully developed yet. I don't have kids so I don't know much about them but I don't like seeing kids treated like this either, acting or not.

I was in a lot of plays when I was a kid, one was "The Wizard of Oz" and I could always separate fact from fiction, but that's my own experience. I have seven kids now, and they can separate fact from fiction, too. (Well, two are too young.) But that's their experience. I suppose it depends on the child. HJS seems to be an intelligent kid, who probably isn't affected by the SL. And you have to remember he interacts with MA in a good way when they aren't acting and what he sees isn't what we see. He sees a set and cameras, and we see a bedroom, living room, etc.
