Taoboi

I can see that. Especially that second one.

LOL. Not a wig swerve!!

And for Sidwell? Ugh. smh. I like them in the mix as well with Curtis and Portia, but I'm not totally on board with a Jordan/Curtis/Portia 2.0 and Isaiah taking Zeke's place.

Same. I'm sure she will have one. No way for anyone to be on her side in the audience until she takes some Ls.

Awwww really on those tanking years? Though I do agree that John Abott's death was definitely a turning point.

I have been saying and hoping Monica saved AJ again from the moment Sonny shot him.

Now it hasn't been that farrrrr back. Some villains still get theirs. Of course, the problem becomes it is usually the stock villain du jour rather than the stay-on more complex villains, but still...

Hahah. We were just discussing that a second ago over in the B&B thread for the character of Sheila's grandchild Luna. Same problem, but I feel SilkPress can still be salvaged.

And all of that would have worked. So of course we can't have nice things.

Now Lisa should know that's Julia now. 😜

NEVER!!!! lol.

There's nothing wrong with being bias toward Alexia. What made their argument at the table good was that they both had valid points. Both were right, but neither of them were wrong, either. Heck, I'm sure that I said the same about Stephanie when the season started about her being too new to the group to offer an opinion on the dynamic out of the gate. She should have pulled a Season 1 of BH Garcelle or Season 1 of OC Jen (from what I remember) and just sat back and slowly got a feel for the group dynamic. I know I said Alexia is at her best when she's been activated which Stephanie is doing so points for her for doing that.

Oh, I for sure think SilkPress will go over there to make her presence known which is why I said the obvious. But I do wonder if there is something in the paperwork that she might need Anita for just off the dialogue on Monday about the benefiency. When my father passed, there was drama over that very thing (the wording). Allegedly. Even though my father made it very clear about some things. And the state also made it clear on some things. Some family members felt differently. But I disgress. Short version, there was paperwork specifically with MY name on it. And those members had no choice but to back down.

I'm starting my rewatch for the week and while Anita had mentioned the trust to Vernon when she revealed the truth about Barbara to him, in the talk Anita is having with Nicole, she's giving specifics on the trust. The money was set up to what Barbara would have earned if she had continued on with the Articulates as well as investments that had been made throughout the years (and Anita said invested wisely). Barbara's family is listed as the benefactors and Anita's name is hidden on it. And as Anita also mentioned the reunion concert money went into it as well. It seems like Anita is still actively involved in that trust so I can see why SilkPress will be going directly to her this coming week...outside of the obvious.

Is he? I haven't noticed at all.

Taste. No worries. I am more in the B&B thread (and of course the BTG thread) more than the Y&R these days. I stumbled out over the Damian stuff because that was so distasteful for me. And for CANE? And given my story feelings for Chance...not to mention what happened to Cole...I couldn't keep going. I saw Jill's first (phone) appearance. And that was just it for me. I can't with JG. The show needs a change. And teasing a Shick reunion ain't it. And even B&B was harmless, but enjoyable fluff for me until Friday's Grace scenes. I finally picked up Monday's episode more due to my love of Li, but that show is on a slippery slope with me. Come on in re: BTG and enjoy the mess. Especially after that Friday coda. We been discussing that allllllllllllll weekend. I bet the thread will hit 100 pages again this month.

I'm sure someone mentioned the last one, but no one spilled the tea.

I agree. They could have reset Luna now that she was out and kept her sane, but an interesting bad girl. Though she could have been an interesting bad girl without sacrificing Hollis for sure.

I was one of the ones who cried foul when they tried to humanize her immediately after the Eva reveal. But that part of the story should have been Nicole's POV more than SilkPress's. Right now, the only way she can stay around IS if they start to humanize her somewhat. She's been running around a little too long as of late like some cartoon character in spite of TMG's great acting. Right up to the reveal, TMG seem to find any and all moments to humanize her character. Even with the reveal, she still found that throughline in her performance. So it's sad that it seems the character is overwhelming the nuances she was able to find so well earlier. More of that please.

Going by online and here, I think it is the minority that would find the truth about Laura's accident coming out anticlimactic. And until it's dealt with to some conclusion, it seems a thing that will be continued to be harped on a la SilkPress is getting away with it. Even if it comes up soon as a way to tie up that plot thread (Due to Kat's interference, it gets thrown out), I think the audience would let it drop. However it popping back up after SilkPress got all that she wants, it would be old school soap villainess comeuppance. That said...I would love for her to take a page from Sami Brady's old handbook and have the ace up her sleeve of finding out about Kenny (if June doesn't first) so she can reverse uno on half the cast. I would be in awe and it would restore the cunning SilkPress had in that first couple of months before she turned into a cartoon. I definitely love the idea of her finding out. We finally have her at a pivot so them writers better run with it if they want to keep the character (and the awesome actress) around.

I'm more curious to see if it's going to be Anita vs SilkPress until November Sweeps when the Laura angle of the SilkPress storyline comes back up and she finally gets her comeuppance and winds up losing all that money.

Thank you, good sir. You know it's bad when I shade it every chance I can get.

So I see from reading that.

WOW. He definitely had a knack for popping up in movies at the most random moments for me. But he was a master of his domain. Kneel Before Zod is going to hit different. RIP

Amen. The only times he is currently sparking. They really have. If you would have told me that I would love to hate CM as Drew I would have laughed. But...yes. I really hope he leaves town with his tail between his legs. The murder mystery target has boomeranged over other characters before in recent years so why not one more time. Sez aim it at Sidwell. So do I. It makes me hate hate Drew. He's more interested in his ego than his own child and his ex-wife's wishes. And that still rubs me wrong. I really want Alexis to find a way to get Scout away from him. Where Natasha when you need her?
