Speaking of bad line reading...this guy with Chelesa...ugh. 'Woman to woman. I'll settle for you.' DANNNNNNNNIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hayley you are not Dr. Nicole!!! Quit with that black card. Martin is reeeeally an a$$ Ha!!! at Chelesa calling Kat out. Giving a bit of bougie.

Not Bill doing to Hayley what he did to Dani by having her leave her job!!! OOOooo Ashley giving everyone her attention BUT her man. Eva vs Kat is sooooo giving. So many layers going on in this episode. Martin is such an a$$$.

Badly dressed and old? lol. Oh, Kat. Oooo the jealousy is real with Eva. But Dani...why not one more time on the Andre train? smh. Hehehe at Dani having a Fan page...

Why did Bill get that look? OOooo gay couple dama!!! Yay! Nosy Nurse!!

Very. At least IMHO I felt Carly had a chance to get out of that time-wasting because the potential with Brennan WAS there. At least under PM. But that boat has long sailed. Are we even sure TJ is STILL in town?

Well look at all those bubbles walking around on my screen. 😜 I had hoped that looking at synopsis for this new week's schedule that it felt like this week would be more centered on Nicole and the B plot of Silk Press Sheila and Eva. So I was happy with yesterday's episode. Dani definitely needed a break from driving plot. And such a plausible excuse for her absence. It allowed the spotlight to shift to Nicole. And as my favorite character, I enjoyed everything I saw. Her with her FOINE a$$ man and how much of a couple they are. Exploring the dynamic between her and Kat...loooong overdue. She even got some good scenes with Smitty which allowed to flesh out him and Martin. Kat v Eva was THE highlight for me. And love how so many people here and online have mentioned how Kat seem Blair Waldorf/Hillary Banks coded. Cuz I have been living for her outfits. But this episode allowed to see more of her and her layers. She's been focused, but sweet. So seeing her claws come out a bit and suspicious of Eva has given her more to do. And Eva held her own. And if Ted IS the father, a sister feud is already on. And as I mentioned yesterday, yes to Martin and Smitty being flirty and showing some hint of chemistry and dare I say it...love? It was nice to see their storyline fleshed out a little more. Martin is just coming across as a little too full of himself. Interestingly enough...not unlike his sister Kat. I do wonder if Martin is going to sabotage any attempt of Smitty to branch out. And we also have the issue of the dreams for them. But yay for conflict coming. Oops. Not Silk Press Sheila maybe having a new problem to deal with in terms of potential cameras! Lol. I'm sure she got this. And oops again at Eva calling her out. So Silk Press really didn't tell Eva she was the one to run Laura off the road. So...potential for Eva to be redeemed once the truth comes out? And I hollered at Silk Press gaslighting Eva. She is next level...and I love it!!! And you know what I also loved? DIEGO. From that head to that bod to what was in those sweats. If we are going to have a himbo...he can be mine. lol. Meanwhile, it was nice to get a little more into what makes Vanessa tick since she's the early fave of the non-black characters. It seem like she would like her marriage to work, but Doug is hiding too much. So...she's looking elsewhere to feel special. And poor Doug...with a gambling issue. And as a doctor that's just trouble. 'Lady Karma is patient.' really stood out. Outside of the beginning, I really love the dialogue. And the episode really flowed for it to be just the B and C plots taking A plot's position. Special mention to seeing more of Jacob's life as well. More please.

I agree. Just spinning those wheels when they could had had a Carly/Brennan/Anna triangle right there, but that idea became DOA when the writing that made it a possibility (aka writing with nuances) left the building. I admit that I still had a little bit of hope due to the actors' chemistry, but now that things are truly back to 'factory settings...'a total time waster now. That also makes me think that Lucas/Brad are about to join Terry/Yuri on the backburner or wherever they are at.

Well as someone who wanted to join the soap writing programs and run off to New York when I was young, it warms my heart to see young talent given the chance to show how well they can do.

I knew it would be her!!! Same. As soon as he went and frame Jason on top of all the Joss stuff, that pairing was done. So it is just counting down the clock until he leaves the canvas again.

They might. And side note...yes, I'm checking for Diego. 😜

Speak on it! I had completely forgotten about him on staff and was looking forward to his first script since the videos posting in the BTG Thread about working as a writer in L. A. Just done rewatching and I loved it. It flowed perfectly for me and yes, his dialogue worked for me. A very good example for letting young talent into the writing house.

I mean I ain't having a problem with ages yet because...well...black don't crack. That said though I am curious how Martin and Smitty will look around their teenage kids.

You're not alone, I thought I heard it, too. But I am for sure guilty of being the 'Ted has a twin' over from other online thread as a theory for the Ted/Silk Press Sheila scene. My bad! When you have great writing.

Minority, but you are in good company. One dull day for me doesn't stop the show. I still feel she will become important to several plots in time. But I also think she might get hit by Hurricane Dani at some point.

I did. lol. I saw it their second time together, but I reeeeeallly saw it today. Go 'head, flirtatious energy. Martin still acts like an butthead with him though. SIIIIIIIIIIIIIICKENING. And raven hair, too. Ooooh I live for her (well just about every female on this show) hair. Oooooo I love how she looks in that, too. Perhaps once he gets into a relationship, some of her sexiness will pop out more in her on-air wardrobe. But I really love what I've seen her in so far. It stands out to me in that it is completely different than the other young characters on the show which makes it stand out more. If that makes sense. It makes me want to know more about her.

Oooo cool!!!!

Ooooo Eva went there and asked Silk Press Sheila to her face. Well...Kat does seem kinda spoiled, but cute. Same. I love her look as well, it shows so much of her character to me.

Oooooo Ted doesn't even know who Eva is. Makes you wonder... Not the Shaderoom...lol. Hmmm...not Doug being more into gambling than his wife. No wonder she has a wandering eye. And the potential drama between Jacob and Naomi continue. 'Boy, sit.' hehe. I love me sum Nicole.

lol

Look at Martin! Finally getting comfortable around his man. And mmmm at their eyes connecting there for a moment. Could it be? A Dani-free day? I dislike turtlenecks, but Mmmmmmm at that white on 'Teddy' (c) Dani Dupree. 'Lady Karma is patient. When she strikes...' That was great dialogue and I like the Have-Nots are still gossiping.

Very. It would have been one thing if it was a character that the audience loved or any legacy character, but SASHA??? GIRL, BYE. LOL.

Yeah, a very good season...getting my cousin back into it. It was so good. I am very disappointed with Jacqueline. I wanted her back after her first season, her first reunion, and the Battle of Receipts, but she was a major letdown this season. And a flop this reunion. I was so shocked. With the filming for next season starting at the end of this month, I don't see it for Karen. Perhaps next season. I think they are just banking on since people are used to Shamea a la Marlo before her in a FOH pre-HW role, that people will be more willing to follow her along. Is that a compliment to Gizelle. 😜 But I agree. Even though Old Her popped out at the reunion, I am curious to see where she goes from here. Same about Jassi. She got so little at the reunion and ran with it. Love her.

Mmmmm Silk Press Sheila...☺️ HELL-HO, DIEGO. Oooo yes. I'm here for Kat vs Eva. Kat is giving a bit of both Lilys on Y&R.

I thought that was crazy, but not so much as Sasha the Tortured Queen.
