So it wasn't just me. GOOD. And same...none of their scenes gave that at all so yes, a whole turn in writing. Well I know @Broderick has long had a theory that the plasma ring storyline is a way to move Ted back into Nicole's orbit for a while now. And up until that moment and Lia throwing Nicole under the bus on Monday, I was not completely on board with it. Now though.

HEY, RANDY, HEY!!!! WORTH THE WAIT! mMMm.

:)

:)

YAY!!!!! It was a nice surprise when I got back in last night from dancing.

Yeah, I miss the days when things would be going down with characters and there was Shanice in the background...stealing the scene. Or her on the phone gossiping to her friend later. And with that recent Ted/Nicole scene where Ted was talking about how he and Shanice are on different pages and me going 'since when???, I'm not sure if I'm for Ted/Shanice anymore...which like Dani/Andre last year...have been a happy surprise so far this year.

Yeah, other than the Malcolm stuff and Tracy and seeing Josh Morrow...that was torture.

I like how it has turned out, but I do like how you think.

Now you already know in my college friend group, I was the Samantha Jones. ;) Pre-social media and everyone on their phones...A LOT can happen. I will leave it at that. :)

Yeah. Isn't the rumor that the first single is her duet with Sabrina Carpenter at the moment?

Ex Soap Opera Star? Ewwwwww

I'm all for her opening up, but I never want Shanice to not keep her 'in charge' confidence and gift for getting all the tea. Yeah. I'm still waiting for the investigation into Andre's past to come back around in story myself.

Hehe. Yep. Pretty much.

I know I personally live for all the Dark Vernon moment, and Davis looks hot when he's allowed to show Vernon weaving his power, too.

First apologies, with the new work schedule that I'm adjusting to, I'm just getting back around to this I believe. Yes, I was talking about that as well. But up until mid-February they were slowly showing the cotillion storyline for me from Ty vs Nicole over the origin of cotillion to the arc of Jessica being anti-cotillion. Then they introduced the Bellfairs. And then all the elements they showed just vanished. Like you, I'm now getting annoyed at it. Like I've been playing catch-up on BTG and I was irked with the Richardson family scene where Samantha was giving recap about cotillion stuff that was happening off-screen...like what you mentioned above about Samantha with her peers. If Francesca is causing trouble for Samantha in front of their peers, we really should be seeing it. They already set up Francesca vs Samantha well enough in their brief scenes that I was looking forward to more BEFORE the cotillion. The same for Ty and his dancing lessons. It could even be a reason to bring Nathan back into play since he and Ty don't even like each other due to how Nathan treated Samantha. And Nathan is Francesca's date. But...also off-screen. For me, if we are not going to see any of it on screen until May...I almost wish they have not done a good job building it up in the first place pre-February to hook me into wanting to see it.

4-13 Ooooo can we keep her? This week is off to a great start. I thought it was surprisingly strong for a Monday. Then again, it was Jazmen on the script so I should be surprised. But for keeping her...I was talking about Lia. Throwing Nicole under the bus. Manipulating Ashley. Giving Silk Press Sheila a run for her money because their catfight was vicious. And then her history with Marcel. We even got a hint of backstory cuz...who IS her husband? Don't think I didn't notice he was not mentioned by name. In the span of an episode, I saw more potential in her than any of her other appearances. Heck, I said back when SilkPress tried to kill Laura at the hospital, that it could have been a storyline for Ashley that she got accused of doing her job wrong by a higher authority figure, making Ashley question if she really wanted her dream job...a story having to do with her and not just her triangle with Derek and Andre. Who would have thought a year later, Ashley now has to deal with an authority figure that questions everything about her. It's a shame Lia ain't staying because I now see the potential in her being a villain after this episode. I definitely want a Round 2 for her and Silk Press Sheila. So Ashley got a promotion? Congrats! Well-played, Donnell. I have not liked that he came to town to look into Doug's death, but that storyline fizzled. So it's great that he was part of Deanna's quest to figure out the timeline of Joey and Vanessa's relationship. I continue to love the Deanna storyline because she's going to stumble into something that Vanessa and Joey are going to wish she has not. And I can't say enough about the actress with her 'Dru Jr' self. She says sooooooooo much with her eyes and I love it. I still can't believe that Nicole has been thrown into this plasma ring storyline now. The more Nicole, the merrier for me. And I guess in hindsight, it is a heroine move to be accused of something that she didn't do. Gee thanks Smitty. I did like she went to confront him though. For something nice about SilkPress, I liked she was a (jealous) person this episode and not a cartoon. And I never not like her with Marcel.

The day it happens we will both be doing somersaults. And warning, Frank will be getting shade from me no doubt. lol. Even though the show is good, I do miss her. And I would love to see Sonny drop that ADA.

Yeah, it was set up do well (and they actually had chemistry) and this was back when it was Nina vs Willow and Michael could have used some messiness, but...NOPE.

Well no one can beat Abba. ;P But I agree. Just like CONFESSIONS did, it does make you want to go to the club because that is how it felt to go. To feel so free. Ooo. I have always loved my dance music a little darker so it works fine for me. Dare I hope there is going to be a deluxe version of the album? I want all the extras.

I can see that.

Now that I heard the OFFICIAL full version...LOVE IT. 4:00 has my name written all over it for the dance floor...and it BETTER get the full play at a club when I hit it. It definitely sounds like a worthy follow-up to CONFESSIONS and what I love most about it...darker. Someone described it as underground dance/rave vibe with a 80s disco groove and I hear it. The remixes are going to be unreal. And I'm here for it.

You know I will tag you with the quickness WHEN it happens. ;) Cuz I am the same way. :) The Big Two Fans here.

Yeah, I believe they had a very brief one or a brief discussion in a flashback. I would love to see more.

I can. Frank is gonna Frank.

I just starting watching this week. Is this flashback showing why I love Dani/Vanessa as friends?
