Talk about Matt's wife in this thread!

can anyone say.. gonna dump him for tying to hard? she thinks he's cheating... sheesh.

She is not going to react positively to learning her mind's being read, thats for sure.

I see her being phased out, too. Sorry!

But I think she'll freak when she finds he's been "violating" her mind and taking advantage of her thoughts without informing her. She has trust and communications issues? Think of when he finally tells her after not telling her. I'ld be pretty hurt and suspicious, if I were her too.

Plus I have a side wish that Matt and Audrey (FBI gal) develop a stronger relationship as they use his ability on casework and want to see more airtime given to that relationship than his romantic one.

Sorry, he's a nice guy, but wifey is a mess.

Now that she's not whining, crying and pouting, she's a lot more tolerable. I hope she surprises us by believing in Matt when she finds out the truth. It sounds like his jealousy towards her promotion and her lack of understanding simple things like a cop's hours is what the original rift was about. After all, she does want to make the relationship work since she goes to the counseling sessions.

I really don't want to see the whole, soap-opera "you violated my mind" thing. It's been done before. I really hope the writers come up with something new.

at yahoo tv yahoo tv heroes it shows 5 different clips. one of the clips shows matt talking to janice and he accidentally reads her mind and discovers she is hiding something. we hear her thinking "i thought ive been so careful" and some other things. maybe shes having an affair or something? idk, but she is hiding something

I seem to recall one of the early promos showed her thinking, "You're smothering me."

Which is why I think Matt's efforts at winning her over by anticipating her needs thru reading her mind are going to fail.

i have been in this situation well without the mind reading but my great detective powers lead me to find out in my own way.. hope they get rid of her she makes me sad... hope mr muggles eats her brain

******.

Okay. So what his co-worker said.. he's really sleeping with her then? Or he just wants to? My sister was talking unnesessarily loud during that so I missed it. I DO know the guy got punched out..

I was kind of hoping she had her own powers she was hiding, but I like the FBI lady much better and think Matt and her should hook up.

Thiswoman is a sl*t by websters dictionary terms... and by my terms.. that woman is so cruel, put her husband on the defense when he was missing, accusing him of cheating...
when all the while, where was she? With his friend at the precinct!
(who, btw, has a nice body... did you see him without his shirt... youch...)

Only one way to fix this Cheating Problem... GET HER DRACU-DOG! ~Throws Mr. Muggles at her.~

thats the way it usually goes they tend to accuse you of cheating if they are its called transposition of guilt. i really hoped they would work it out at first Matt is the every man a litle self absorbed but gernerally a good person, this kinda thing happens so much in real life its hard not to sympathise with him. im not going to tottally paint her as a villan yet, so far we really only have matts side of the story. but im keeping Muggles lease close at hand. as for his "buddy" hope he has powers just so Sylar can eat his brain.. maybe he has the power to completely shut off all common deacensy

We don't actually know what she's hiding, and the guy that Matt punches- I rewind it. He says, "I'll" instead of "I" when talking about sex with Matt's wife. It's possible he finds her attractive and wants to have sex with her, not he has.

I think she's pregnant.

Haha I see you read the Cupcake thread

Yeah I really hope that she gets what she deserves if she is cheating. Then again perhaps shes hiding something else. Maybe she got pregnant and had an abortion and never told him. Could be a lot of diffrent things. Guess we will have to wait and find out.

haha come on that was pretty darn funny

You know I think I stuck my foot in my mouth with my previous thread. I remember now that his partner said that he was banging her and she was fine to. So yeah shes most likely cheating.

maybe shes Sylar.. duh duh duh.. god please dont let that actually start another thread

When Matt was about to tell her about his powers what did he hear in her thoughts? Whatever it was it made him decide not to tell her. I didn't hear it. Somebody please tell me!

I think she's pregnant, too.

I dunno but it sounded to me more like that guy just wanted to sleep with Janice. Not sure if they were really having an affair. That part didn't seem too clear to me.

Yeah this part has been bothering me too. I'll check out the recording later if anything.

EDIT:
ACTUALLY, reading the online comic right now confirmed that HE NAILED HER (Quote on quote). I guess that answers everything.

She be Hoey. lol

It was confirmed for me when she was thinking about how they "had been so careful" and "Oh God, he knows". Then, when the buddy's thoughts came into play, I didn't blame Matt for punching him out.

Matt deserved better than Janice! I wouldn't mind seeing him hook up with Audrey one bit!

Tom

He said (or thought) "I'm nailing your wife".

Don't really think there is a question as to whether or not they were doing it. She confirmed it with her thoughts and he confirmed it with his.

I loved it when Matt punched him out. Scum bag deserved it and I hope Matt just goes home and packs his stuff and gets out of the house containing the cheating shrew of a wife immediately!

That sorta puts his powers out in the open, which could potentially be dangerous, especially in their search for Sylar, and especially from keeping the Haitians mind-wipe failure a secret.

It could possibly put his powers out in the open but the dude seemed pretty stunned like he had no clue as to why Matt would punch him. Janice thinks he found out somehow, doesn't know how he found out though.

So far, I think the only one aware of Matt's powers is FBI Lady (can't remember her name) and of course, Matt. (excluding HRG and Haitian Man)

She is a ******. I offically hate her more than before. Cheaters suck.

Personally, I'd rather see Matt stay away from women at the moment. I'm not sure Audrey's a good one for him, either.

Why? Because she has a chip the size of NYC on her shoulder? Pure flumery I say! Also I will say this... as much as I disagree with the cheating thing and by god I hate the character for that. I wouldent say Matt deserves much of anything either. According to what he and her both said he was a monumental ****** to her for a long time because he was jealous that she got promoted and he kept being left in the dust. Again I dont agree with the cheating, but dont agree that he deserves a break either.

I think Matt DOES deserve a break, but OTOH, it's true that Janice is not wholly responsible for the state their marriage is in. Obviously he hadn't behaved well by being mopey and sulky -- but she, too, apparently failed to be understanding when he didn't achieve his life's dreams because of a learning disorder. So they both got here together.

That doesn't justify her cheating, but I'm not willing to say that the cheating makes her automatically a horrible person. I do think it's a serious blow to the marriage, and I am not sure that either Matt or Janice is going to be able to give the commitment it would take to come back.

I'm open to Matt/Audrey, but only way down the line, because it's pretty obvious that Matt still loves Janice deeply; he wouldn't just jump into the next relationship, I think.

Life just seems to crap on Matt, doesn't it? Maybe things will turn around once everyone gets together.

Matt's wife is a tramp! I never liked her she seemed so whiny, i actually like the idea of her cheating on him. That means they will probably break up and we won't see much of her! Yay. But then someone looking in on matt's powers will find her and say, "Your husband is specail...blah blah blah...Your husbands a telepath; he can read minds, can you tell me everything and anything about him?" She will betray him in some way or another and it will cause more conflict^^

I don't like Janice at all. I think she is a selfish Lady but the more I try to put myself in her shoes I don't hate her so much for the cheating. It happens. And if you have ever cheated it doesn't mean you are evil or just out to hurt someone. I still hate her though, just because she is a Lady not because she cheated.

Just for the record we now know that Janice was having an affair. The recap sequence of the latest episode confirms it.

"I thought we were so careful? Oh god, he knows about the affair." Were her full thoughts.

Add that to the fact that Matt asked her if she slept with him and she said "yes!"

Yeah you caught me. I hadn't watched it all when I posted

But now in "Six Months Earlier" it looks like she is on very happy, sexy terms with him, comforting him about his problems and being a very supportive wife - I think it may be his own insecurities that push her away because it seems like at that point (Six Months Earlier) is when the problems started, and they seem to start with him.

Not that any committed wife should jump to another guy's bed when this sort of trouble comes along, but you saw how comforting she was being and how he still hangs on to his depression and rejects her attempts to help - that hurts a girl and I can see it being the root of their problems.

But wait didn't she say that the affair ended a long time ago? Did she mention exactly how long? Maybe I've got my timing off and the affair did finish before that...someone double-check me on that.

yeah, last nights episode made me see Janice in a new light too.

Matt was so emo..no wonder she was sleeping around.

I love matt but he acts too much like me...worrying about myself all the time...but I don't do it enough to affect the peop[le around me that greatly

Oh she sucks. It'll be nice when her character dies.

I am looking forward to the "I'm pregnant" announcement..

It's got to happen. Either that or she dies. What other purpose does she have to the advancement of the story? *Challenge to the writers to think of something cool.*

I wanna see the reaction she gives when he tells her her # she picked from 1-a million

I really don't care what she thinks at this point. Now she'll be pregnant, and it's probably the other guy's. She won't stay with him, though, once she finds out he can read her mind. She's too selfish.

Oh, she totally is! Did you not see the way she was standing? Pregnant women frequently stand tipped, with their hands on their lower back because of the pressure the baby puts on the them. She was totally doing that, and she was noticeably larger looking in all the right places for a baby to be on it's way.

Yay, she is! I so called it. She just said it not 10 minutes ago on this weeks episode. Well, she didn't say it so much as Matt read her mind when she thought it. Wow. His reaction was totally fabulous.

she's a waste of space
all her scenes are sooo boring!

Does anyone actually like this character? This is after all meant to be a FAN thread. Its ok they're just getting over their issues together, I hope they work it out.. janice needs more substance though, I mean the whole stay at home wife thing is boring, maybe get someone to kidnap her... or meet other people, other heroes

I'm so late to this party, but I'm throwing my 2 cents in anyway.

I don't like Janice and I actually think it's because they've never given us a reason to like her. I think 'Six Months Earlier' was an attempt to gain her some sympathy, but for me it was way too little, too late. I can't believe that all of their marital problems are her fault, because *wow* he should have left like the day after the honeymoon if that's the case. He's got to have some responsibility for it, not that that in any way excuses adultry, but we've never seen or heard anything beyond the fact that she makes more money then he does or is advancing in her career while he is not. I get that that does cause problems, but there has got to be more to it than that if it's caused adultry-type problems. That and, what does she do? Have we ever even seen her out of the house? (backyard does not count)

Agreed! bleh!

I thought it was slightly ironic when she was yelling at Matt about the diamonds when she had just recently cheated on him, especially when she yelled "your better than this".

Anyone else surprised by Matt's apparent lack of concern for his wife and child since he apparently hasn't bothered to contact her since Episode 17?

When I re-watched "Five Years Gone" tonight, I noticed something odd - in the "previously" segments, there was a part where Janice told Matt, "I wish you could see what I see."

I don't remember the original context where she said that (must have been a lot earlier in the season), but in that context, and with the revelation that their kid has powers, it kind of makes me wonder if that was supposed to be a hint. Maybe she's really clairvoyant or something?

Or maybe they just stuck that out-of-context quote in the "previously" to freak people out. I dunno.
