Sarah Warn of AfterEllen.com had previously commented on "All My Children" stalling Bianca's romantic life by making her pregnant. Warn stated that it was a way to assure Bianca's continued asexuality. She added that "the pregnant-lesbian storyline" is a favorite refuge for television writers who both want to avoid dealing with the sexual aspects of lesbian relationships and who want to "normalize" the lesbian characters – "to show viewers that, at their core, lesbians are just like heterosexual women – who of course, all want to be mothers".
