Taoboi

That's funny (and true hehe) because when he plays Michael on GH...even with meaty material...he gives Michael an edge that I don't feel CD often did.

That was reeeeeallly good. So Daphnee took a break from acting to focus on raising her kids. Well, we are glad to have you back. Lord have mercy...the men. lol

Very. It's what is making these last set of episodes (Schedule and my system/shady landlord being funny is making me take so long to watch) pop knowing we were getting to the rivalry between La Dame and Mia morphing into La Dame vs Wendy. So ugh. Fingers crossed that I get to get to the finale tomorrow at least. Same. I was thinking at midseason that we STILL had not gotten to it. Was there time? I guess not. smh. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaa

Watching today's A Day in the Life and interesting that they are doing the one take as well. I am curious if that is one take of a scene now that they have episodes ready to go now or almost from the beginning of filming.

Yeah VERY unusual for GH to have such a meh one.

Well look at them!!!

So I'm going to be irked. smh. Cuz someone mentioned something was cut online, but I was not sure what. That is just stupid.

Yeah that too would be something different. I did like we got a little hint at what potential drama there could be in that couple the last few days.

RHOP Well I'm glad I had some time to play catch up. While I'm happy to see the end of that cast trip (Ashley and Jacqueline with a jealous Mia? Really?), apparently the real fun started when they got home. I watched up to the finale. And both of the two episodes before it was something else. Ray getting the tea from Gordon that HE had a paternity test done and knew that was his son for a while...just like he has been handling the kids while Mia has been out and about spinning a false narrative. I gasped. And then La Dame (with Gizelle's assistance) cornered Mia. That was a scene (and cliffhanger) right out of a soap opera. But them tables turned. I said this season...regardless of that muddy middle set of episodes...has been about La Dame vs Messy Mia. And just when it looked like Mia might get caught...STACEY of all people making her move. And spilling that tea to Mia as Wendy was talking about how much of a friend Karen has been to her. And then Production having the rollback of all the times Wendy has stood up for La Dame...AND the receipt that La Dame had been talking about Wendy behind her back...made another good cliffhanger for the finale. Coming into the finale I feel... LA DAME. She moved with the quickness when Ray spilled that tea, didn't she? And Ray got ALL of it. I was like...WOW. I knew Messy MiaBeLying, but to have it confirmed by Gordon (with Production rollback) was something else. And it's really funny given what Ray said in those scenes about the possibility of Mia and Gordon getting back together given what indeed did happen over the holidays. It was a shrewd chess move to team-up with Gizelle who barely got an apology from Mia for mentioning Gizelle's kids. But shame on her for not having Wendy's back the same way Wendy had hers. GIZELLE. Continuing her renaissance, I saw. Tag-teaming with La Dame vs Mia and Jacqueline her representative. Immediately picking up on Stacey's shift. Cuz I thought it was interesting they were all at Vivian's BUT La Dame...and it was ALL everyone that was on Karen's side among our OGs/vets. And all of my love for Vivian has always been cuz of her association with the Grande Dame and those rumors she might join the show at some point. That it turned into a silly feud with Stacey has the potential to be something next season. Planning ahead I guess. ASHLEY. I liked her drag king show. Look at her and La Dame and how far they have come to have fun with that. lol. And I loved seeing Kate from BELOW DECK/THE TRAITORS. I was surprised to see her in scenes with Stacey and Stacey's heel NOT be on Ashley's neck for once. And she gave sound advice to Stacey given she's not getting anything from Michael Darby. WENDY. Looking forward to how she will react when she finds out what La Dame said. Because they have gotten quite close. And I thought that was proven when Wendy explained to Stacey exactly step by step why La Dame would have an issue with her ON TOP of Stacey having Mia's side all of a sudden. KEIARNA. Well, the potential is there. But she needs to leave that man. All this little drama because he doesn't like her to be on the show. Okay...why? I kept getting more red flags than what I already had up until now because her man is making it more than it has to be. Outside of that, I hate to say she's not giving anything other than being on La Dame's side. MIA. First, Lisa. Then, Brynn. Now, Mia. lol. Everyone that I had a like for continue to let me down. And we know I was a ride-or-die for Messy Mia. She can't even do confrontation very well. Now she just runs off and cries. smh. And don't get me started with the fact that everyone in her group HAS done it with everyone in the group. And learning the extent she has been lying about Gordon, the kids custody, the divorce. And when she knew things...? I had to laugh though when Gordon rushed to text Inc with the quickness that that was Gordon's son, not his. She's lucky that Stacey is making her move. All Mia is doing is damage control. How the mighty have fallen. STACEY. I almost want to get my Nene 'I SEE YOU' gif out, but it's late. lol. I will give Stacey this. Well-played. There were the scenes with TJ, and him demanded they come out as a couple. Then her cute scenes with Ashley. Then her making the La Dame vs Mia about Mia and the kids. Well-done. But that slip showed for me at Vivian's. I liked that Gizelle said aloud what I thought when I saw it. Stacey might be more crafty than I expected. And then to drop that tea on La Dame to La Dame's current nemesis...Mia...I was jaw-dropped. Well, I guess that explains the tagline...lol. La Dame might have been worried about Mia coming for her throne, but she should have been watching Stacey more closely. So...nice rebound from the trip, POTOMAC. Look forward to the finale.

Well Frank does have a new flavor of the month by Sidwell so Cyrus has been rendered irrelevant. So...

Same. I would die if they actually did a whole gay triangle and treated like any other soap triangle to put other soaps to shame. That's another thing that I loved today. We (well, me lol) still haven't seen the whole entire cast yet. More anticipation for when they appear on screen.

I mean if they can dumb down THE Anna Devane, sadly anything is possible. Don't get me started on the pacing. Didn't Lucky and Liz get the real tea on Cyrus at the end of January's. Even by PC's timetable...it's February 14 as of today's episode...and still two weeks ago. They should have been building more smoothly than it has been. Moreso since it was Lucky on one side of the story and Joss on the other side coming to a collision course with each other and each having a piece of information that would help the other realize it was Cyrus. Which at least we got that...and that was a while ago as well. I still feel like both sides should be more involved than what they are given they (Lucky/Liz, Joss) know the truth yet they are still off in their own corners. Add on the Danny/Jason wrinkle and Dante/Chase wrinkle and I don't see how the Cyrus storyline hasn't turned into a whole umbrella tale. And I don't see how it can come to a conclusion that will make sense and satisfy all of its plot points, either tbf.

I feel like it was good ole revenge. Because just about everyone Cyrus has encountered in the last week and a half have mentioned that it was Liz that was on to him or brought her up in some way that he probably blames her for figuring out what he's been up to...outside of his encounter with Joss yelling at him at the police station. Unless he wants to kill her and make it look like she was behind it all in the first place...which would still look suspicious. But perhaps I'm looking too deep into Jeff Kober's solo scenes yesterday which I felt was trying to set up for a slow spiral/walls closing in. But that might be to Jeff's ability to be a good actor that can convey that through his eyes and body language than what was on the page.

OOooo I feel like the Theater techie is going to have a field day with tomorrow. lol. Just done with today's preview and yep...I am going with my intuition from when I first heard about it...loving Daphnee as Nicole. And I just feel like when push comes to shove, Daphnee's Nicole is going to a force a la Jean Randolph and Daphnee can and will play it to the hilt. No alters though. I found it so informative for some of the third generation Duprees that I know very little about though I love all of the actresses' vibe and their excitement. And Hheeeey, Mr. Clayborn, hey. I also liked having more information on some of the other minor players...especially Cady's character who sounds like a sidekick sidekick...which could be fine. And she was rocking those bangs. And I can't wait to see what the Eva/Dana duo do going forward. And they really wanted Tamara. RESPECT. And Clifton did WICKED?? It was good. Same. This was my first real exposure to a lot of other characters outside of the Duprees and I can't wait to start having impressions now on some of the third generation ones and minor characters.

2-18 One thing I can always give GH. They will at least give us a VD episode...something Y&R continues to fumble. For one...this was not fantasy episode...humor aside. I will never not look at that shower and not think about Caveman Dante and how hot he looked in it. lol. While Y&R and B&B can't seem to put couples together to save their live for the most part, at least GH has something to play with. Brad and Lucas. Trina and Kai. Liz and Lucky. Mac and Felicia. Brennan and Carly. Dante and Lulu. Aidan and Tobias. I like some better than others, but there are at least couples. I did like the Brad and Lucas stuff. Or more like I liked the follow-up on Lucas going out on a date. And seeing the date. And he was foine. lol. But there Lucas winded up back around Brad. I'm sure Carly is going to like that. Brennan and Carly were fluff. So was Chase and BLQ...though that song was cute. So was Trina and Kai...though I liked Portia being the worried mama. Even Aidan and Tobias. I giggled at the fact they are trying to de-aged the actor a bit. And as for Tobias...I personally just like having the payoff of such a long running thread in him finally appearing. Hehe at Mac and Felicia. I wouldn't mind him a spoiler for the lame Jason/Sasha storyline. Heck, I might care more if he was. The meatier stuff was left to Liz and Lucky and Lulu and Dante for me (cuz we know I was not here for Jason and the 'whiny' version of Anna though I appreciate the little ring of truth in those scenes). Lulu and Dante needed more bonding (not forced) time together. And this I liked. It continued to touch on how out of time Lulu had been and her struggle to get back to normal. As well as Dante and those feelings he still has for Sam. It was nice to see Dante laugh for a second. And I really felt the sparks between AB and DZ. I thought Temp Lucky did decent. Seem like he studied JJ a little bit. But...again...everything else was fine, but the kiss. Not because they did not do well. I thought they did very well. But people are going to be annoyed at such an important moment for Lucky and Liz after decades for some of wanting them back together...has been tainted. I will see how I feel when JJ is back. For all I know tomorrow the scenes got reshot and JJ will be in them and all will be forgiven. We'll see. Second episode in a row where Liz felt central. Not as good for me as Monday, but loved them all the same. More of the motherly and softer side of Liz. And yes, that coda took my breath away. Can't wait for tomorrow on that.

Le sigh.

2-17 Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Not a Liz-centric episode!!!!!!!! And then her first scene was with JASON?? Let me just fall out now. lol. Not even too soon after all her recurring scenes with Lucky and Ric, too. I stay liking the rotation when it comes to Liz and 'her men.' lol. I mean...that was a great start to the week. So much was going on that I liked. I loved Liz having the goods on Cyrus and went to her trump card Jason first, told/showed him. Then she walked over to Anna and told/showed her. So if something happens to her, it's all on the table. Smart. And Rebecca Herbst was eating all those scenes up with intelligence, sass, and classic heroine. I have been enjoying seeing her, but she's been mostly B/C plot placed as of late. She felt like a central character today, and I didn't mind it one bit. I had forgotten that Drew is slowly targeting Jason AND Sonny so I loved him actually acting like a major manipulative player today. Not like Drew, but the Drew Q that has been emerging over the past year. Like a sinister sense of agency. Cam already plays a good prick, but he hit a whole other level today in Drew walking into that meeting with Laura, Curtis, and Jordan waiting. I've been meaning to say it, but I kept forgetting, but I've been loving Tabyana bringing back her braids lately. I even liked the cute little Joss/Trina scenes because it felt like a couple of friends rather than just plotpoint scenes. And awww at Trina feeling weird to go to Kai due to Spencer. Meanwhile, there goes Joss off into the Cyrus storyline. Ugh at all things Jason/Sasha. I had seen those pictures of the kiss and figured it was a facade. Good to be right. smh. Frank Those writers suuure are trying their best to sell it. Like I said...Britt and Jason this is not. This...is just propping. Silly propping at that. Perhaps if they built on the growing Sasha/Willow rivalry better, it might hit better. Until then...the only reaction that felt organic to the scene was, of course, Mac's. lol. Who I loved seeing throughout the episode. Those Sonny/Carly scenes were so place holder scenes. But I have to say...it was soooo Carly in character. Hehe. Not surprising given who was the HW in charge for this episode. Hehe at Tracy being petty about Willow's car. Good coda with Liz having a target on her back by Cyrus. As expected.

Then my apologies. I believe it. I was into PC...if only for the music in the premiere, but I was in school so much at the time so it was always hit or miss when I saw her. And then next thing I knew she was recasted. I do remember it being mentioned about how it was a cheaper concept to the alternative as well. That said...it's not the case with BTG which to quote from one of my favorite series growing...plans within plans. I felt the same re: Daphnee's Rachel. She was a great cast for a good recast hindered by writing. I look forward to seeing what Daphnee's Nicole is like and what twists she will surely have.

Hehe. That's cute.

Yeah...for all her delusions...I like to think Karen does have some (well sooome) self-awareness. If they wacked Mia like Brynn was getting wacked during the NYC Reunion...I think I just might like it. I haven't watched yet (I'm sorry catching up through my work schedule...tonight is the finale for me), but it sounds and looks like Karen might have pulled a stunt that was part chess move, part showing a sign of self-awareness...just in case it comes to pass she is fired and jailed. So...I guess we will see for sure.

People still TO THIS DAY talk about Debbi Morgan's turn as the manipulative Seer on Season 4 of CHARMED, giving that seasonal arc a deliciously sinister presence that it really need. She played it serious. She played it camp. She was EVERYTHING in her wardrobe. I would love for her to play a villain again. Heck, I liked her as the ice queen head nurse on PORT CHARLES from what little I saw of her. I also love your taste because Daphnee's Nicole is also the one that most interests me. I've loved Daphnee Duplaix since her days on OLTL. And something about her presence (and that bring scene between her and KM's Dani that hint at their dynamic) that draws me in.

If it helps any, MVJ did let it out of the bag earlier (while I was grocery shopping). Well, she verified CHCH for Canada. But I do hope there is going to be more releases other than one.

Speak on it!!! Especially Xena!!! Amen!! I admit watching the reveal...I am intrigued, but mostly same. Ugh. Yep. Pretty much. #facts

You're not alone. I was discussing that (as a joke mind you before pictures dropped online in one of the spoiler threads ) it seems like we got temp recasts whenever an important beat or climax of a story happened...which I found odd because given how the block filming seem to be...couldn't that be set up at a different time since it's not the first time these folk stalled a story out til forever? I think LK (outside of the Baby Irene funeral) has always subbed for unimportant scenes to me as well. And as someone mentioned above...also what happened with Alexis at the climax of the Harmony storyline, too. And it just seems weird since if it is to be believed that JJ is back here for LnL2...he would be good and ready to play that beat especially. And even if he was not here...fans of theirs would have been waiting decades for that kiss. Common sense have to had told someone to WAIT. Why play in people's face like that?

Oh, lord. Don't tell me that. lol. Lol. Once I saw the spoilery picture...I figured it was today and made my comment over at the thread cuz...yeah...people saw those pictures and were livid. Cuz...what was the reason? smh.
