Todd and Blair Do Their Thing!

Why these scenes are important to T&B history:

Todd Manning was first introduced as a cocky jock, who could do the deed, but would not stay around for small talk, cuddling or caressing. That was what set Marty off. Todd hit the spot, pulled up his pants, buttoned up his shirt, and took off. It has been noted that Todd had "intimacy issues", but early in Todd's relationship with Blair we saw those issues disappear. I will never forget the scenes where Todd comforts Blair and stays with her all night. He does not have sex with her even though Blair was more than willing. Todd says, "Look, Blair! I never had sex with someone I liked." "Now I don't know anything!" "I don't know what to think, or what to feel." Blair tells Todd, "I just don't want to be alone tonight!" "Will you hold me?" Then while positioning his hands where she wants them, Blair gave instructions on how it was to be done. "Like this!" "Like that!" There was also the time when Blair came home after seeing Addie and Cord. She was upset and she and Todd made love. Afterwards, he wanted to know what she was thinking as he softly touched her hair, he asked, "How does this feel, Blair?"

Todd Manning has come a long way baby! There is not a man in Llanview who can comfort his woman the way this man comforts Blair.
