Re: Pregnancies that ruined a character/show?

Late to the thread, dunno if you still care, but yes Gabby did find out that Carlos tampered with the pills. This was immediately before Carlos got shipped off to jail for an unrelated offense; by the time he was out she'd already miscarried.

The situation was presented as kinda skeevy but not abusive; but Carlos and Gabby's relationship was very unhealthy and abusive from the beginning. They both have families in which abuse happened; Gabby was raped by her stepfather and it's implied that Carlos' mother murdered his father. They emotionally blackmailed each other constantly, had sick little power games, broke each other's stuff for the hell of it, and frequently got physical. Then they divorced, she married another abusive man, other man died, and Gabby and Carlos got back together.

Their second marriage (when they had kids) wasn't NEARLY as horrible as their first. There were still some unhealthy control games being played but they both matured and learned to solve problems without abusing each other. And I'm as anti-kid-storyline as anyone I know, but I thought Gabby's progression from selfish, high-powered It Girl to abused/abusive wife to healthy (reasonably) well-adjusted mother was one of the more coherent arcs of the show.
