6-4 Getting around to the rewatching and I guess Dani/Bill/Hayley as A story is coming around better to me. I hope that means that I will feel different about Friday's episode which first time around I felt was more of a Wednesday/Thursday episode. Anita's story and Dani/Bill/Hayley (with Kat vs SilkPress being a solid B plot to keep the SilkPress storyline alive, but NOT A story) have been the focus for this past week. So I'm worried I'll feel a way when I get back to Friday's episode. I guess I'm about to find out. I know I have issues with Dani/Bill/Hayley coming back into focus since the much better paced SilkPress storyline is truly where it's at with so much aftermath/new direction to explore. However, I'm finding that...just like with the story of Martin's secret being slowly woven back into the story narrative...I care a little bit more for it since it's been background since Week 3, Month 1. IMHO the characters...outside of Hayley...have been developed in other plots. The past week and a half has had Dani and Andre growing closer and they have gotten to the 'third month what are we?' talk that I expect in all relationships in real life. And I liked how the writers have slowly had friction between them to see what they are made of? Is it still just a booty call or can it be more? Meanwhile, Bill has been hiding his physical issues for months. Too busy messing with other people's marriages. So now that they have some more POV to them, it was good to see an organic...and yes, it was organic...reason for them to be in the same room. In this case...the hospital room. Lord, Karla and Timon have such great chemistry. And Dani and Bill were so acting like exes. No wonder Hayley feels threatened. Oh, well. lol. Bonus...the drama with Bill has Hayley and Naomi back in each other's orbit. They don't have enough scenes together. You all know I was waiting for Anita's story. So how am I feeling? Pretty good. TT has been playing it to the hilt. And I was not expecting the story of a fourth member who killed themselves after being pushed out. And it's had a build. First through Tracy. And now with Sharon...who is swiftly being established as a piece of work. A Have-Not (if not Has-Been) who is not above scheming. Okay. lol. I liked the conversation between Anita and Vernon where she told him the truth, and he tried to hold her up. Whether she deserved it or not, it was good to see. I'm sure all of the secrets are not out yet so I look forward to more. Cuz we know they are not cancelling the reunion. Which fingers crossed...will be at the police fundraiser. Honestly, I continued to be impressed with how the writers have kept Silk Press Sheila out of jail, but still playing the beats of it all. She's definitely in covering her tracks mode, and it's great to watch. It's also great to see her mixing it up with different characters. I was happy to get the long-awaited showdown between her and Nosy Nurse and Nosy Nurse READ...HER...DOWN. I was just disappointed Nosy Nurse spilled some tea. And that led to SilkPress's scene with Andre. And then Andre...lord...talked too much. C plot this episode has been Chelesa's love life. I was wondering where it was going to go after her talk with Vernon. Enter...Mystery Woman. I wonder what her secret would be that would get in her way with Chels. Related to an enemy of the Duprees? Married? I am intrigued. And I do like Chelesa getting the spotlight because daytime does not really do it like how they are doing it with her. Can Kat and Jacob get a spinoff? lol.

As Michael should be...DARK. I'm just getting through my first few scenes of Rory as Michael. And I'm already picking up chemistry with LW, EMcCoy, and SMattson from the jump. I liked Rory as Noah on Y&R, but felt it was wasted potential. So far...he's proving me right.

Oh, lord. Those rumors are true, aren't they?

SHADE!!!

Well, I do love a good soap himbo who can wear some pants...and very much blue jeans. But yeah, I can see it. I saw it more with Hayley though.

Darn you Jane Elliot...you have me crying...that's how superb her acting is in these scenes with Gio. Speak on it.

You know what? I was just thinking of Klymaxx the day before you typed this and chuckled. I do love how it keeps twisting and turning, getting juicier (Eva hiding everything, knowing her mama did it only for Kat to get the goods, thinking it's Eva...not helped by her hope that it IS Eva) rather than contrived. This. AM's acting as Eva is just so reminiscent of SMG's version of Kendall on AMC for me. She's totally going to go on to bigger and better things. She has so much nuances in her scenes. Yeah, I really like that they played the beat of Ty wondering if Jessica was using him. I wouldn't have minded that, but we have done it before so I guess it is nice to see it is not a trick. I do wonder where it will go from here. Thank you for the tip on Chelesa. I'm already intrigued on the stuff with Madison so Hmmmm.

That would be how I saw it. It would probably drive Ava to extremes, too.

Amanda has been giving it to Abby ever since her and Chance walked in on them together. So great to hear. I can see that. Lily and Damian are always a highlight to me.

Whhhhhhhhhhhattttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was everybody out this weekend.

So far, I thought that was very cute. Oh? What do you think they should have? Kenya's Brandon??

So of course she will cuz we can't have nice things. 🤬

lol. It's true though. Now if only these writers would play that. I read this earlier and it said so much what I was feeling after I calm down. My wish list last year was for Laura AND HER KIDS to come home. All of them are so connected and could be used all over the canvas...block filming or not...that any talk about such a legacy character leaving...whether I want him with one of my favorite legacy characters or not...was going to get some side-eye from me. And it sounds like his exit (still playing catch-up) is going to be contrived as heck. Not that they were trying to write for him very well in the first place. I figured that when the Cyrus storyline was happening with Lucky/Liz on one side of it and getting a build and Joss on the other side of it with a build, there would be a connection. However, we never quite got a collision course with each other that could have been a whole umbrella storyline if written well. Emphasis on written well. Meanwhile, the flavor of the month aka Sidwell not only seems to have his finger in every storyline...I mean pie, not only does he have a whole a$$ family now, but he paid for the Nurse Ball, too. A newbie? But these writers could not even write for someone who not only is a legacy character, one of Laura's kids, AND a bit of clean slate??? GTO with this nonsense. He only worded it how I know you and I are thinking it.

6-3 I almost let my system just delete the episode just like with B&B. I am now questioning if I should have. lol. I just can't believe that Cole sat there and started to get sick and then only Victoria off and ran off and everyone basically went back to what they were doing at Nikki's birthday party. Cole was too much of a vet character for that. And now story back off-screen. I did chuckle at how much Victor pay Kyle dust. And now Kyle with this deal and a promise to leave town if he hurts Claire. smh. As if Victor isn't going to make that happen. It was lovely to see Ashley. And actually (misdressed and all) Abby. And I liked Claire's dress.

LA sure has been turning up (along with MD) this past week. Cool for you @Cheap21 Meanwhile...

I'm definitely curious. The RHOP cast was at World Pride together this past week, and Gizelle and Monique were together...AND GETTING ALONG? So...the plot thickens. I want to say they are done filming. And I know Whitney did film with Little Mo last year, but of course Lisa and Heather tried to block any Monica return. So...I wouldn't be surprised if it was to happen again and it was hush-hush. I believe that's how it came out last season as well.

LOL. Quit!

thank you for this! But ugh at Cane.

Now that my internet is back...ugh. smh. I am sure she will get an intro set for sure. But I'm intrigued to see how she is now so much. And apparently she's no longer with Roger which I find shocking. Their dynamic, her work life, and her assistants (and the potential drama with Brad her ex assistant) made the show from what I remember. I also remember her being quirky like my ex-roommate, but a straight shooter. Pre-motherhood. So I wonder if she has mellowed. Awww thank you.

OMFG!!!! They are not letting me breathe this birthday week, aren't they? lol. So...BH...I was a fan of Rachel Zoe back in the good ole more variety Bravo days so I will definitely be watching clips of her. I can't wait to see how her kid has grown. As for RHOP....... *falls out*

Agree. But I said that from go. Regardless of the setting and discussion over Joey of all the B/C plots, it was the one that got a build to it throughout and development.

Hold up, hold up, hold up!!! MADISON MONTGOMERY??? If a Zoe, Misty Day, and/or Queenie shows up...lol.

Speak on it! As usual...Kenya WINS.

HUH?

Outside of the potential of that...that was already being set up before LnL even got their (temp recast) kiss...I just feel livid at this news.
