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.

2-14 NASTAAAAAAAASHHHHHHHHHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, yes, YES!!!! LOL. It's been toooo long. My way of saying how much I loved the Jason/Alexis scenes. I'm always here for Nastasha. NLG has been a bit of background so her in focus will always be fun. And SB has been knocking it out of the park for me as Jason. As for the rest...after I rolled my eyes over the pants in flight... Thank you for the heads-up, Contessa. Because I guess I really and truly do not care for Natalia at all that I missed the reveal of Natalia and Sidwell being married when she was off in L.A. with Sonny. I thought that was set up well surprisingly here (and ELR was looking fierce AF in the wet hair, dark dress when Sidwell was at Deception). I even gasped since I thought it was JUST a relationship. But this is the first time Sidwell actually came across as if he was purposely running around all over town to get tea on everyone. I know he did with Lucy. That was obvious. But now seeing him with Lucas and Lulu makes me wonder if he had already did the research on PC residents and was faking his knowledge. Intrigued though I still don't like the character (though I do like the actor). The Ava vs Sonny scenes would have worked perfectly...if we had gotten the Sonny's Meds storyline followed by them going into the custody suit BEFORE Kristina's accident. Then this split custody would have been a nice coda to them. As it was...you all were right. That came across as lazy writing. Very reminiscent of around this time of year the last few years when someone would start messing with the writing momentum and put things back into 'factory settings.' A waste of a lingering plot thread with potential. UNLESS we are about to get crazy Kristina...which the last scene of the episode (and the scenes with Liz a few episodes back) might be hinting at. I liked the Stefan mention. But we know I love Stefan. I thought the Lulu/Kristina talk was good, too. I guess it goes to show I like Kristina in a supporting character mode still. And more rme throughout for Molly/Cody (I'm shocked they didin't put JK in boxers...time of year be darned) and Sasha/Dog Lady P.I. Though I did like the twist of the Dog Lady P.I. warning Sasha due to Sasha saving her life (even though Sasha was the reason she was in danger in the first place). Overall a meh week for me. I felt that wacka wacka creeping in and just like the mess that Y&R made of their stories last week, my side-eye apparently was shady.

Hehe. I get a giggle every time I see it in my binging/viewing of other shows.

Hehe. 'factory settings' #facts I have seen very little on international distribution outside of what appears to be a loophole for Canadian viewers since some viewers (if I remember reading it correctly) have a subscription through a service that streams Paramount things so they might be able to stream BTG when it starts through an app called Carrot. But I'm not sure how reliable that information is.

Finally! Got to watch today's preview. I loved all the easter eggs and touches on black history...especially the lantern on the family crest. So the vibe I got from TT is that at some point they will dive into Anita's past. And I'm looking forward to it. And fingers crossed a female rival emerges from it. I will take any of the ladies we have already discussed for her. Though Victoria Rowell will make me fall right on out. Since I didn't run over every name when the character sketches started to drop in this thread, it's been fascinating trying to connect the dots. So I fell out when it came out that Hayley is Dani's daughter's BFF. THAT's messy. lol. And soapy. And I am not sure of all the third generation Duprees and know very little about them so I will be looking forward to seeing them flesh out on screen. And I do remember the character sketches on the mother/daughter social climbers/schemers, but it finally clicked that's who we have been seeing in the promos the whole time. lol. When I think Nemesis, I just think the other girl was her henchman/henchwoman...not related. lol. Well-played. In one week...

Well it might grow his fanbase at least.

I'm still catching up on episodes, but I hoped that going forward that Karen would take a similar avenue as LuAnn when she had her fall. So this gives me hope that she will rise again as LuAnn did. Sounds like they ate her up alive. GOOD. I'm still catching up so are they giving it to Mia like RHOA did to Wig at the S10 reunion so far?

IKR. At first it didn't hit me because I was just shocked that she knew him. Then I was timetabling in my head on if they were in the same scenes together. And then as they kept talking, I was...wait...does that mean...GUUUUUUUURRRRRRLLLLLLL!!! She worked so hard for her inroads. And now...ugh. MESS!!!

Sorry to hear that. If I make it home on time tomorrow, I hope it is working fine.

Since we are in the same area, hopefully it is working better tomorrow. I will watch it when I can. Or find good clips.

But truly someone (I would think) would have the good sense to go...perhaps we should not do this filming knowing how much fans would like to see this or that or this other thing? Given what I said about temp recast pop up at the wrong times...one can't help but wonder. The Drew/Willow reveal comes to mind and at least some of the audience are very much used to seeing Robert Adamson as Michael to not be toooo jarring, but still...that should have been a Chad scene. Or rescheduled. Given how long some of the stories take forever to get to the point...I would feel an easy thing to do.

LOL!!! I was just joking earlier so I take the pictures I just saw are from tomorrow's (2-18) episode. There's about to be some LIVID fans. Heck...I'm livid for them.

I am sure all soaps do. Just not in the way that it would mess up a story like it tends to do on this show. Or Michael will. Let's see if it will be Chad though.

Nope. Just good living shows GREAT results. Yeah, I was hoping it wasn't one of those stupid episodes. I actually thought Giggly Heffa had really showed up in Paris to talk to Billy because she has been acting cray cray. And Sharon and Nick have been growing closer again. But as soon as Chelesa mentioned how she felt like she was falling in love with Adam again when she's been everything BUT that up until now...I figured. I tried. But once Nick started to talk in that long monologue...I was like...NOPE. Though SC was selling it. Once I hit FF and saw Sally with Adam (CH looking great with the red hair), I was out. I went ahead and looked at next week's previews. Like I said earlier...the Damian storyline is the ONLY thing really happening and this past week proved that. It is giving soap. Everything else...not so much. A waste of a February Sweeps week. And it also showed how much Y&R is lacking in young or any couples right now that they could not find a plausible VD episode couple to write around.

Okay so busy AND booked. Still cool.

Now Nate has always looked good cuz...you seen that bubble? But seriously Sean Dominic does seem like he's been really working out. And thanks to the new designer, it's quite noticeable. Cuz...WOOF! lol. A whole dish.
