Incest is wincest.

I think she was related in the sense she's the wife of an ex-husband to one of his mom's cousins. Or maybe I'm remembering wrong. They obviously wanted their relationship to be as far removed from incest yet still have them be related.

Dont nock it sweety
Keep in it real since 1972! And proud of it!!!!

No. He didn't bang his mother or father's sister. It was a distant cousin's wife. There was no blood relation. I would figure people would be more upset that he committed adultery.

Just watched it again on ITV3 this morning and.. I definitely would have

Good for him. Bow bow, chick chicka chicka!
Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!

What I thought was worse was the way Howard tried to palm off Brantley on to Vera.

I find it odd, that after nine years since this thread started people were focusing on incest - it wasnt because they are not blood related BUT the real problem was that she was married so ADULTERY should bother people more in this case.

Not his real aunt. Just his uncle's wife.

Obviously you never watched soap operas as this happened all the time, as well as a woman and her niece or aunt getting it on with the same guy as well like this.

Oh dear, I better check the legality of this.

Everyone here keeps talking about Vera being his aunt. She was not! Brantley's mother said that her cousin married a man who was the nephew of a woman who was the half-sister of Howard. The point is Howard was not even Brantley's uncle, so his wife Vera wasn't anymore his aunt then she is mine or yours. I think all you people really need to relax.

Listen to Momma Foster's explanation of "Uncle Howard's" link to the Kansas Fosters - they are "cousins" more by inference than fact - meaning nothing derogatory to any one, this is a "county" way of reckoning kin; and then remember that this is "Uncle Howard's Wife". That "Boss' Wife" issue was riskier - but they didn't know that until after the fact.
And it's fiction, not a biography!
I had a major crush on my stepfather's brother's daughter when I was growing up and no one seemed to be offended or distraught at my "intrest" in my "cousin", not even her or or parents. It just didn't go anywhere. I also had three sets of Grandparents; with my dad an only child, I still had three Uncles and Aunts through my stepfather
"Vademecum"

Why the hell are so many people getting into a pissing match over this topic? Seriouslyit's a movieand it's not even the biggest part of the moviePeople have different opinionswhat's wrong with that? There is no need to act all childish and over defensive about a part of a movie

Doesn't matter, had sex.

Jeez, there was no blood DNA connection. It is no different than screwing your brothers girlfriend (or wife), yes its tacky and downright wrong, but not because of any "incest" vibe.

ummm, she was hot as hell. ready willing and very ready. I sure as hell would jump at that.
Besides who has not had a crush on a member of their family? before or after they knew they were related (either by blood or marriage)?

They're NOT blood relatives so there is absolutely nothing illegal about it. Disturbing maybe, illegal not a chance.

It's bad lol you can tell first of all he was disturbed and thats why he didn't do it again.
He did do it again, even tho he knew she was his aunt. Theres a bit where hes tryin to sleep when the couple are at it next door. The door knocks and its her, she ses she "heard him calling her telepathically" and rushed over. The next scene, she is standing getting dressed and he is in the bed, which would suggest they've just did it.

Not blood related and HE DID NOT KNOW at the time - so NO!

If they were blood related, it would be disgusting. If its only by marriage, aside form being immoral there is nothing wrong with it.

I've done an aunt and a cousin.
I thought everyone has.
