Great minds. And same time. It better not be Amber, Trisha, Daphne, Timon, or Sean.

All I can think is that Guza's place is EMPTY. Which means MVJ is getting a co-HW from IN HOUSE. Or worse...someone ELSE that no one likes. ETA: And that is if we are talking BTS tea. For onsceen tea...uuh beside what I mentioned earlier...we are about to get a triggering scene?

lol

*cough*notalone*cough*

Eva vs Kat...the gift that keeps giving. Ooooh hey, Brandon, hey with the bedroom eyes. Neat episode. But a clear Thursday episode. I agree. I didn't feel bored and Naomi not getting her chance (and Smitty today) was a way to keep the Martin's Secret storyline firmly in front as the A story, but background for one episode. Like a Thursday episode lol. Of course, it helped watching TT do her thing. She is just THAT good.

Same. I was looking forward to seeing more Kristina because she was soooo underused. Now I can't stand to look at her.

Taylor has been Taylor since Krista Allen was here and even then...

I admit that I'm living this idea of using Anita for recapping on each character as a story idea. Kinda like getting a temperature reading on one hand. And a checkpoint number as another. The body language with Martin and Smitty at the start of this scene. Interesting. In sync eyerolling. lol. The anvils with Kat and Eva...

Awww on Chance. But Yaaaay on Holden. Let me let @slick jones know. hehe. Awww on Chance. But Yaaaay on Holden. Let me let @slick jones know. hehe.

Lord...

YASSSSS at the LVP shoutout!!! Get it, Vanderpump!

Yep. So long, latest Flavor of the Month!!

Ashley...IF...YOU DON'T BACK UP OFF DANI'S MAN...

Chels, what do you mean guys are weird about virginity?? Yeeeah I am not liking Dani and Nicole being on the outs at all. Though it's great adversary energy. Ooooo not Andre NOT telling Ashley what's going on while Dani is telling every Tom, Dick, Harry about them. Uh oh now. Let me side-eye. You know...as I watch this Anita/Nicole scene. Let me ask this @Errol if I say tomorrow echos a certain other scene from a cancelled black soap....would I be off-base? OH...? I am being nice to Nicole, but she's giving good icy bitca, too, and it is making it hard to love her at the moment. lol.

Yay!!! We are getting a Jacob/Smitty scene. And Jacob spitting truth. And touching on what we all have been saying about Smitty being a bit of a pushover/doormat. Hehe. Anita. The shade of it. I am loving these Anita/Dani scenes.

Same. I always felt Eva was here for drama for Blaze/Kristina. And they did ELR no favors by how they had her as a homophobe. I also felt that at some point Marco (under his original name ) was going to pop up because Natalia and Blaze mentioned waaaay too much to not believe that was not the plan. So I thought they stopped it when Blaze abruptly left as well. Also shocked her brother FINALLY hit town. Just a mess. And Natalia for sure was DOA once it was revealed her ex was Sidwell.

Hahaha at Anita picking up on the shade. And OMG!!! I don't know what shocked me more...Anita using her full first name or Dani TELLING Anita!!! So Dani/Andre is really coming out then, huh? Good to hear. OH...???

Now is one of those in swimsuits Chance? Asking for a friend.

Well darn Nicole!!!! I was not expecting her to be so cold (or shady) to Dani. So awwwww Happy to see Anita. VERY happy it's a Sara day! And oh, look...an Andre/Eva scene.

Now why is Drew and Willow catching strays. 😜 Which is why I rolled my eyes from the first promo that showed Dani at the hospital during Bill's issues. Given how much play Bill/Hayley/Dani got in the first month...it just feels too soon to have them in story together. Interacting or cross paths while their separated storylines are going on...OF COURSE! Keep it alive since it's clear there will be a circling back to them down the road. But not tooooo directly in story. Moreso when you factor in the fact that Hayley still does not have a POV as of yet. It saddens me because a lot of the storylines going on right now are storylines that have been given the time (for the most part) of letting the audience in on characters' POV...something I felt Month 2 did beautifully so that now those storylines can have more attachment/investment because we as an audience have some idea of what makes the characters tick. It's also why I don't mind the June plot just being a C plot for now because that needs time and doesn't take away from what's going on. So when it finally heads wherever it is heading, I feel we have some idea of what June is like and feel if we should care or not. Meanwhile...Hayley in her own story...is just THERE. As for Ashley/Dani/Andre...I don't want it...but at least there's enough POV going on there to see mileage. Not to mention I like how Dani/Andre were slowly developed and how Bill and Ashley have been slowly wormed into Dani/Andre's internal drama. Even this new wrinkle with Hayley could help push that idea forward if the writers want to go there.

Lol. JS.

I'll be watching it late tonight due to THE BEAR so spoil away...is the glass throw true this episode?

Well so has Ridge about Brooke on B&B...and look at what's happening with that? Per today's episode...I do think it was a case of ex-wife getting in her insecure head as the reasoning for this. It could have been built up a little bit better, but it has been established that almost every time Hayley starts with Dani, Dani be finishing her with the quickness. And usually Bill LETS her. I thought it was just me so THANK YOU. And yes, I rewinded at that one camera turn. Well tbf, I thought it was telling in the Andre/Nicole scenes today that Nicole made a point to say he was a playboy BEFORE he got back to town to stay. And he's already acknowledged that (outside of Ashley to the viewing audience) no girl has ever held his interest enough to want to be in a relationship with them long-term. Dani, it seems, would be the first. And since he's never been in one, this is new territory which is why he's not against coming out in the opening. Because as you and I know...you never forget that first time and he's clearly caught them feelings.

I am sure they will have their flaws, too, but I'm a sucker for the good guy cop (who happen to be cute...Dante GH, Chance Y&R I'm looking at both of you. Okay and Chase GH, too, hehe) character. And I adore Christine...well grown-up Christine. So I'm not surprised. I love how much Jacob and Naomi are in love with each other. And I love seeing an attractive black couple so very much. Does she? Cool! While I will say they tried to give her reasoning right before the twist today, I 100% stand by you on this. How can you try to do a triangle...and it's been clear since Episode 1 they were going to try as THE A story...when not everyone has a POV in it to make them rootable or even sympathetic. They did that well with Dani...for better or worse. They did with Bill, too. Giving both flaws and their own storylines SEPARATE enough from each other that the current drama is juicier because of it. But Hayley, I've been saying is the weak link in the triangle for this very reason. She has none. The closest to a talk-to has been Caroline and we don't see her enough. And Derek...who she will probably try to use as a babydaddy in the near future. 😎 Especially since it's Ashley that knows the truth.

Now that my shock has worn off...I'm not upset by it. I do have a lot of thoughts. lol. And I liked she basically gave her reasons to Bill BEFORE we got the coda of the episode. HER insecurity. Cuz she knows (like the rest of us) the REAL fire is between Bill and Dani regardless of what either says. Not to mention how she gained Bill will probably be how she loses him. The baby lie, of course, does not help. From the writing point of view...this guarantees there will be more mileage in the A story of Dani/Bill/Hayley (le sigh lol, not my favorite of the 3 main stories established in Episode 1 though NOT boring to me) once it is rotated back out like the SilkPress storyline currently is for the Martin's Secret storyline. It also guarantees that Hayley is bound to lose him at some point.
