What has always annoyed me so far with Pamela...because I like her as well...has been there was a potential story there to explain Pamela and Vanessa that the show has not explored. Vanessa saw red when Diego used Pamela to make her jealous. And the way the actresses played that scene, it wasn't the fact that Diego was using another woman to make Vanessa jealous. It was the fact that he used PAMELA. And even when they have either briefly crossed paths or get a mention...ususally Dani mentioning one to the other...the one in front of Dani always has a nasty reaction to hearing the other's name. They are two women that clearly don't like each other. Mainly it could be because they both want to be Dani's BFF...but they have played at something more. A hidden history. I wanta to know what it is. And it would be a great way to establish both of the characters outside of sidekick status.

Ha!

That and Vanessa/Dani scenes. I was living today. lol. I wish they had been doing that with Caroline though. And it looks like they will be continuing so I'm down for that.

Yeah, I would agree as well with Dani. She's been quite a bit levelheaded for a while now outside of RC breakdowns so I was glad before the kidnapping that her quirks (and shade) started to pop out of her again. She's been coming across normal and snarky. Main character energy though she's not the main character at the moment.

Wait for it.

RHOM Now that I have some wiggle room and working brain...been sick...I can now talk about the last few episodes of my telenovela girls!!!! Like I wrote, we had just had the bombshell of Jody texting Larsa. And Larsa, of course, not telling Lisa, but having no problem telling EVERYONE ELSE!!! How that dinner went left quickly was crazy. Not to mention the dynamic itself. From the cast trip starting with Stephanie having drama with Julia and Alexia to it shifting to the recurring plot of Lisa vs Larsa was a thing of beauty. And then add on the drama with Adriana (was it ratchet or wretched?) and Kiki should of course be studied. And it didn't take away from the sights or great cast moments. And it really did feel like a gang-up on Lisa. I was happy that Adriana and Guerdy had her back. I was very glad they found a nice and calm way to explain to her why she should unfollow Marcus. So it was quite telling that Larsa not only did not care, but was trying to find any way to find an issue with her. Some friend. No, ma'am. But back to Adriana vs Kiki...how unexpected. I'm not sure if it was really miscommunication in the heat of the moment. It wouldn't be the first time for Adriana. Especially with all those languages in her head. But the following episode DID have her explain that within the episode while we were dealing with it in real time so she might actually be telling the truth. Still not a good look for me. And then the show shifted again back to Stephanie and her jet. Just...a mess. A fun mess. ALEXIA. Not Alexia playing a minion! lol. She didn't really do much this episode. GUERDY. I liked that she had Lisa's back. Calming her down. Trying to get Jody to disengage from any mess with Larsa. And giving comic relief as needed. JULIA. Lint. Even her pot stirring was dust. STEPHANIE. She was kinda rubbing me the wrong way a little bit. Did she forget what ladies she was around? They are extra. And her storming out without Adriana was just silly and felt like she just wanted all the attention on her. I also think that I'm over the drama with her being mostly about the plane. LARSA. GIRL, STOP. She was trying her best to stage a gang-up on Lisa. And the smoking gun with Jody's text...again it said a lot that she told everyone, but LISA what was going on. I am sure Lisa would have understood if she had told her earlier. And I can't respect her lack of empathy for Lisa during that notary mess. And then she wanted to be dismissive of Adriana, too. And once the reason for her feud with Lisa was resolved (re: Marcus), she was still trying to have a reason to fight with her. I couldn't say she wasn't working, but it was just too much. LISA. Queen. All this mess going on and she still dealt with that notary issue. She still talked with Jody. She still 'had a little chat' with Larsa. She looked fine AF even after stumbling over a chair. She was being a boss. Again. And she held her own well...especially with the girls trying to use her connection to her phone as a liability when it was anything but. She had used her phone for things and to be close to her kids for SEASONS. That was so transparent, and she had every right to stand up for herself. And glad she did and did not back down. I also really loved she did in fact unfollow Marcus, showing that she really does value that friendship a little bit. FOH MARYSOL. No notes. KIKI. I wish I could say I didn't understand why she felt a way about that word. But she had every right. I was just surprised she and Adriana got into it. ADRIANA. All I have to say is 58 countries? Really? I'm jealous. I wish I could travel. Especially now. Oh, and I am liking how she paid Julia dust and got in the other van. I can't believe how over that friendship is. On to the next trip...

Yep.

VANESSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!! DOUG!!!! Ooooo that was a good cliffhanger. Someone is going to wind up dead.

And that was one of his great strength to me growing up. And DH's huffs and breathy moments. And he stayed trying to improve going back to his interview he did during the RoboJohn era.

Ooooo Vanessa playing with that fire with Joey. They have good and yet at the same time dangerous chemistry. Awww at this Bill/Dani/Chels scene. Uh oh. Are we playing an event again? An event to expose Hayley??? Not Papa Pope in a NAACP commercial!!!

Heck, Maurice Benard could have his own thread on that. lol. Even some of the vets still have bad moments. I wish they all could take bad writing and spin it into gold, but I know better.

Not Caroline being Jamie to Hayley's Sami!!! Love it! Once ReddFoxx explained the jockstrap principle to me, I can see why they call him that.

Same. There are some people who started off soooo green that can act circles around folks now. JS.

I have no doubt. I am hoping that if he turns out to be their child, that means we will get JW back in for a visit. Fingers crossed. I liked his brief return.

Get out of my head! I was just wondering if that is what the story is going to be a second ago.

Because we don't get enough of that with Britt and Rocco on GH.

Thank you, Errol. And fingers crossed that it does turn out to be Brooke and Nick's child.

That is also good to hear. Thank you. The one thing that has made me lost so far has been so many new faces or recast since I last regularly viewed that I was jarred.

Double post.

Good that we are getting more Hayley/Caroline scenes. Hmmm...what are you planning, Doug?

Hehe. Speak on it.

Good to hear that given how very far behind I am.

Meh. I didn't realize that Derek and Ashley were more or less back together together. He was better off with Nosy Nurse. And if he is going to use the soap trope of faking recovery, why is that story being wasted on Nurse Bland? I like Kat and Dani comforting Chelesa as she goes through her PTSD from Allison...who I am kinda missing.

All those pictures...it has to be Jack, right? Though I would love to have Dino back if that means Felicia pops in.
