Trouble brewing with Benben???

I saw her on The View on 02/06/12 and she was great as always. Towards the end of the interview she was asked about her 30 year old marriage to Brian Benben and she suddenly seemed a little sad and went on to say things that implied that she wasn't 100% happy. She even said that her marriage was challenging and in so many words, strained. I was shocked and saddened by how she went from funny and lively to uncomfortable.

She even said that the reason why she took the role in Revenge was to basically get away.

I hope they work things out. Maybe he's up to no good on the Private Practice set???

I was also saddened by this news. I really hope they work things out.

Well she's 52 and married for 30 years. She may have been a virgin when she got married.

Oh come on. I think she was being BRUTALLY honest and that's part of her nature, and I think it just came off differently than most people are expecting. I think she was talking about her life in general, not about trouble brewing in the future. All people have different relationships and I don't think we could ever know what's going on REALLY. I think she was just being honest with the answer for why she chose to do the show; let's not take it further and assume crazy things.

Maybe he's up to no good on the Private Practice set???

What are you? A "journalist" for US weekly?

Well, to be fair after 30 years, most relationships would be at least a bit stale.

"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."
