I wasn't watching the show when Dixie left but I thought that Tad was concerned for Dixie's health if she had another child. Was it ever suggested that he didn't want another baby for any other reason than concern for Dixie's health? Because, if not, then that was a shitty thing to say.

No - They've wanted a baby together since the met in 89. They've talked numerous times about having a child and then Dixie got a heart problem. She didn't tell Tad she was pregnant until he went to Europe after her accident. She told him in a letter - told him it was a girl and that her name was Kate. He was devastated. Brooke was there too and they cried together. He mourned his wife and child at the same time. The only concern he ever had about having a baby was the risk it would have put on Dixie's life.
What Zack said was uncalled for.

I've been sorta okay with Zach (poster ducks for cover) but now I think maybe he's an ass. I've been trying not to let all the Zen Zealots influence me one way or the other about him but his actions today really put me off.

a smug hypocritical ass who never apologizes. If Zach would...for ONCE...apologize, sincerely, for causing the blackout...or denying Ethan...maybe I could like him again. But honestly, the damage has been done...I don't know if I can go back...

Let me try again: I've been sorta okay with Zach (poster ducks for cover) but now I think maybe he's a smug, hypocritical ass. Yep, you're right, that does seem more accurate. And I hope Tad kicks him in the nads for what he said.

Tad always wanted a child with Dixie. He however, did not want her to risk her life. She had given a kidney to Del and had a heart problem. She went to switzerland because there were dr's there that supposedly could help her have the baby. Tad told her over and over that she was the most important thing to hima nd he didn't want to lose her and the risk of her being pregnant was just too high.... but she really wanted the kid (well, Cady wanted a break from AMC anyway). Then Dix died. Tad was HEARTBROKEN!!! What Zach said to Tad today.... wow... how uncaring and snide and how the hell does he know what Tad was feeling or wanting anyway?

There's a bit more to it...Prior to Kate, Dixie was pregnant with a little girl named Bess (name sound familiar? LOL)--and Tad was the father. It was a difficult and risky pregnancy. Because of complications with her heart and the fact that she only had one kidney (she donated one to Del), Dixie miscarried Bess. Dixie wanted to try again immediatly, Tad didn't because he feared Dixie would die from it. He flat out said if it became a choice between Dixie or an unknown baby, he would choose Dixie.
Because of this, when Dixie was pregnant with Kate, she was afraid Tad would demand she abort. Instead, she lied about going away to Switzerland (she said it was to "find herself"), but really went to see a specialist to help with Kate's pregnancy. When she was safely in her third trimester she contacted Tad and told him everything. Tad was about to go meet her when she supposedly died in the car accident.
It's not so much that Tad didn't want Kate, but if Tad would accept Kate in exchange for Dixie's life.

That's exactly how I remember it Minkie. Poor Tad. And don't forget that David was there aiding and abetting Dixie in her deceptions, always trying to "get" Dixie for himself. Back then all three of them were at cross purposes. But Tad was always clear that the most important thing to him was Dixie. But since he had no knowledge of Kate's existence, we will never know just what he would have done. Zach*ss is just that. He has no room to judge anyone whatsoever. He is a sonkiller and moreover, he didn't even mourn him. Now he is a son stealer(Spike). Needless to say...I hate him. Tad always has a heart and a conscience. Zach possesses neither.

Zach is all knowing or some seem to think he knows all when all he does is put is two cents worth in on things he knows nothing about.. His opinion is what counts, he knows all sees all & even hears all with his vulcan ears The man had a chance with his son Ethan & he blew it big time :'(because he wanted Kendall & didn't care who he hurt so he could have his way There is no way I could ever like Zach again!
