Soooooo.... Don Draper's mother was a prostitute who died in childbirth

[MyEye]

Finally catching up on Mad Men. Was enjoying, in a squirmy sort of way, the episode when Don has sex with Rachel on that very narrow white sofa, and then starts telling her about his background, at which point --

that's right, the tape runs out

So what else did he say?

Cannot for the life of me remember. Good, though, isn't it?

I was just thinking about posting about Mad Men because I caught up with all my Sky plus episodes over the weekend.

I can t really remember what he said either, except for his Dad came and got him and brought him up with his step Mum. His Dad was a drunk and died a few years later leaving Don with Step Mother and new man. He joins army goes to a posting with only one other soldier there who gets killed and Don/Dick assumes his identity.

Apparently they are making a second series but I shouldnt think we will get it for ages. I love Mad Men.

thanks for the fill-in. I'd wondered what Don's dark secret was.

Do you know what happened to Peggy?

I loved this, but missed the beginniing and the end of the series. Has the repeat started then, and when is it on, please?

No, it's not being repeated afaik (I recorded all eps and am working through them)

Peggy pregnant - had the baby after she went to the hospital with stomach pains. Refused to hold or feed baby though.
