Didn't Karla Mosley recently post that she was filming episode #400? If so, then Ashley is around for a while. Interesting. I thought it would be super short.

So is Scotty coming back? Seems pointless to have her come back after all this time if Scotty isn't there.

I agree that making the Impaler someone new is a bit anti-climatic. I hope the Impaler is Carlton because it would make better story. Especially, after the quad dinner of Cartlon/Nicole and Joey/Vanessa where Joey called out his beliefs of plastic surgeons wanting to make a buck (leading to his mother's death). It would make Joey "right" that Carlton was out for money not patients. I can see the writers favoring Joey that way. Plus, it would end this Nicole fiasco of Carlton or Kial, the messy Carlton/Ted relationship, and add another layer of Nicole falling for someone that she never really knew. Carlton is clearly expendable. The Naomi/Grayson bonding was an interesting twist. Is that just a red herring like the Kat/Jacob hug? Probably.

Not only was Thurs BTG's best day, they also beat B&B in both W 18-49 and W 25-54. CBS better be paying attention, 😀

I'm finding this show intolerable these days. The whole RJ/Electra/Will/Dylan quad is nauseating as is Remy. Both RJ and Will aren't worth rooting for. Why have they taken over the show? I seriously need to cut back on my watch time. It should be more Logan vs Forrester, Taylor/Deacon/Sheila.

Kat might. 😉

I was waiting for that! They missed such an opportunity. It would have only added to the animosity between Leslie/Eva and Darlene/Izaiah. Jacob and Kat? I know some on this board were pushing that at one time. Is it really going to happen? I was against it before, but am now okay with it after the way they've written both Jacob and Naomi since. This Bill/Hayley think is too much. It's been the same scenes now for 6 months. Either "Kill Bill" or exposer her! Enough already. Boring at this point.

I thought this week's episode of Soapy with Tamara Tunie was enjoyable! I found Greg and Rebecca to be a lot less annoying than usual. They let Tamara talk and tell her story. I could have listened to her for hours. Worth checking out. Please don't let Leslie crash the ceremony for Jacob. She's become intolerable.

I was not expecting a tornado! Now I'm even more excited!

I enjoyed the Naomi/Jacob scenes and Andre/Chelsea. I find both Naomi and Chelsea annoying a lot lately, but I highly prefer how they were written today. It's nice to see Andre grow closer to at least one of Dani's daughters. Interesting though that both Andre and Ted brought up Andre's parents again today. So, are they dead? Is that another "secret" Ted has hid away from everyone just as Nicole is starting to get closer and Andre is headed to Hong Kong? There needs to be something new with Vanessa and Joey. They've gotten very stale. Not that I've ever really enjoyed them to begin with.

I'm anxious to see how the Y&R crossover is handled and if it gives a bump to BTG's ratings. They should definitely make sure Grayson, Kial, Pamela are in the eps too, as they were once part of the Y&R cast. Maybe interest potential new viewers enough to stick around and check them out.

Today's episode is all over the place. Disappointing for a Friday episode and after such a great week last week.

I'd be okay with Madison and Chelsea leaving the DMV together, to give others more scenes and to regroup with Chelsea before having her return single. What they have right now just isn't working. I know it's a soap, but sometimes I feel like there are too many characters. Maybe that's because they flow their recurring people in and out of storylines so well. A tighter focus would be better for the show. Then maybe we would get more movement with "Kills Bill", Nicole's choice of men, Eva vs Kat, Leslie's comeuppance. I've been okay with Ashley, but I don't want her to jump right back to Grayson. That would make no sense (though I'm sure it's going to happen). He lied to her and pulled her into something dangerous. That led to her ex getting killed. How can you get over that? Especially, when they have already showed how upset Ashley was about keeping his walking a secret. He kept something from her...not so much blatantly lied like Grayson did. The only angle they've missed...so far...is Hayley reaching out to Ashley about Derek. Wouldn't she and Derek have been friends too if Naomi, Ashley, and Hayley were supposed to be best buds? I want to see Ashley rebuff her. lol

I enjoyed the memorial even though it was at Uptown. I'm glad they seem to be leaning in to Jacob's guilt over what happened and not brushing it off after an episode. Yes, the "last call" was sad and a nice tribute to fire fighters. I was expecting Leslie to crash the memorial, but thank the stars she didn't. The press conference was bad enough. The memorial would have been disgusting. I've been over Chelsea and Madison for a long time now. They never seem serious about their relationship. Madison is all over the place. In and out of the relationship. One minute fleeing the country and then not. I don't feel like there is anything to root for. Kial and Nicole have such easy chemistry. Far better than Carlton and Nicole. I hope they can move forward as a couple and maybe bring in his sons to mix it up with Kat (instead of Tomas).

Thanks. Good to hear. I'm glad he's well.
