Further along, Chimes weighed in on the surrogacy/co-parenting element, noting: "It's a very modern reflection on our community and I'm thrilled it is being explored. "One of my closest friends Amy, she and her wife have been together forever and now have two sons with a gay couple that live around the corner, and they co-parent. It happens." And what of her feelings on Nicolette and Chloe Brennan finally getting together after all this time? "It would have been easy to take the characters in a different direction so I'm glad the relationship is evolving, however don't get too comfortable, there is a lot more to come!" the star added.
