Them facts.

well...like mother (under MS) and sister... The majority opinion. Given that CW has been in the role, I'm surprised that the writers have not gone to that well yet. Those they have danced around it quite a few times.

Well...Carly is going to be on the loose. And I'll be cheering her on, too.

That ain't the only jealousy Brynn had for her. Got ate up that she can't do it like Jessel can, too.

1-6 Good start. I really loved Victor vs Ian. There aren't many people who won't back down to Victor...it was one of the reasons Jordan stood out when she started. And that and she was played by CZ who will put on a show. Ray Wise was subtler, but I LOVED how he played his malice as delicious subtext. His words/inflection might have sounded like someone cowarding before Victor, but his eyes and body language was nothing of the sort. EB picked up on that and his body language was so annoyed. Loved it. Of course, there was angry Nick in the background. mmmmm Angry Nick. lol. Not Sharon being back in the sewers where they got rid of Cameron. smh. I can't believe this is coming to a head and she is being able to act a heroine. I thought the Cole/Victoria scene was so cute.

Just what I needed after a rough work day.

lol.

1-8 But @soapfan770 how can you not like someone with such a SOAPY name as Daphne Rose. 😜 Is she campy? Yes. Did I like it? Oh, yes. lol. I was wondering what the point of the perfume designer was. And then that reveal? Oooooo Steffy how scheming of you. Such a soapy reveal. Ridge continues to be ain't sh&t.

NY Hmmm. I would say it was a good episode. The best one since the episode that was revealed to be a prank. I think for me, it was because there was complexity going on with fun moments. And for me, that had to do with who was carrying...namely Ubah and Erin. I admit that I've been worried as we get closer to what causes the flashforward of Ubah vs Brynn that perhaps Ubah is the villain. And this episode, I felt there were moments where Ubah was full of herself. But there were also moments where Ubah was in the right. And most importantly with her, it was irking me how much the cast know she has a language issue, but still try to use it to attack her. Even Ubah sees it, so I love how she kept correcting herself to explain...well to those who needed it explained. And then the cliffhanger of offending the host...le sigh. And the same with Erin who had moments where she was full of herself, too. And then there were moments where she just moved oh so wrong cuz unless she told Ubah about her father's relapse...which it does not look like she had...she does not get to go straight Karen about that. Ubah totally would have backed down quicker if she knew of the combined parent cancer drama. That Erin appeared to be holding on to that and even listening to Brynn on ANYTHING is very telling. And Brynn...le sigh. Child. I guess it's just the year of me turning on cast that I originally liked. Messy Mia. Bob. Now Brynn. Because the amount of mess she was trying to do this episode. Continuing to cause a rift between Ubah and Erin. Coming for Jessel. Coming for Ubah in the van because of a language issue...not that Ubah was wrong. It really felt like jealousy. Jessel called that right. As did Ubah treating her as irrelevant. Outside of Brynn, I really could not take sides, and I don't mind. It made the ladies more interesting to watch as they were not totally good, not totally evil, and/or shallow and owning it. Being their true selves. JENNA. Outside of that irk moment at the dinner about coochies...didn't do much this episode. Though as a Gem, I am officially tired of her excusing Brynn's actions. I need the other Gemini to come out. SAI. Wait, what?!!! I didn't know that Sai completely stopped talking to Pavit over the Season 1 finale and his comment. I giggled at Production with the receipts. That said...I can give Brynn this one. The beginning of the episode of Brynn, Erin, and Sai did take me back to last season since they were THE group their first season. And yes, they were mean girls then. Wow at the difference a year made in that friendship dynamic. I just assume Sai see how toxic the two of them are. I also loved Ubah holding her accountable for them talking crap about Jessel...like a REAL friend would. That said...lol at her throwing Brynn under the bus to Jessel. Well deserved. RAQUEL. Side-note...she looked FIERCE on WWHL. I don't swing that way but DAYYYY-UUUM!!! Other than that, I loved her commentary. I didn't mind her being background this episode since she's given a lot this season. That said...it looks like her vs Ubah next episode due to Ubah's rude comments. JESSEL. GET THAT BITCA, GIRL!!!! I was living for her this episode. As soon as she heard her name across the table and she gave THE LOOK...it was ON!!! As soon as Erin tried to dismiss her, she ate her up. And once she realized that Brynn was the one causing mess, she explained herself, her view, and ate her ass up, too. And then when she found out that Brynn was STILL talking mess, she ate her up again. There has been nothing I have liked less over this past year than people wanting to hate on someone else's life (mine), but don't want to do anything to make their life as good. As Ashley said on this past RHOP...say less. OR...GET DRAGGED. Jessel did what she had to...and looked good doing it. A queen. BRYNN. smh. That second season curse is NO joke. I cannot believe how much I ugh when she pops up on my scene. And what made it worse for me was the fact that these ladies are so easily manipulated. Even Ubah who has her number at least. But she was there poking the bear. Meanwhile, she kept whispering in Erin's ear. And I cannot believe Erin kept falling for it when SHE was the one who did that whole prank to fish Brynn out. And Jessel? Brynn clearly has not been liking her life. But here's the thing...if you don't like your life...CHANGE IT. She is on a platform that can do that. If people continue to feed into a rumor that you sell yourself, use that platform to prove them wrong darn it! ERIN. Definitely not her best look this episode. Being a mean girl about Jessel. Falling for Brynn's manipulations. Trying to pot stir between Jessel and Brynn once Jessel had already settled the issue in question. Trying to have an issue with Ubah to have an issue. And the fact she kept trying to have one...was telling. At this point...are her and Ubah even really friends if she can turn so quickly on her? Serious question at this point because this has been quite the theme this season. Only the fact she is giving everything outside of the majority of the girls keep me from hating her, but she was a Karen this episode. UBAH. " 'Boring you?' I'm not your boyfriend, your best friend, or anyone trying to entertain you.' HA! THAT WAS GOOD. For every moment she was over the top or rude, she had a good moment I found. She had Jessel's back like a real friend. She gave a safe space to Sai, but still held her accountable for what she said in the Sai/Erin/Brynn group like a real friend. And even when she messed up with foot in mouth with Erin, she went to explain herself better to Erin like a real friend. She was giving friendship goals. In fact, I would go a step further and say the fact that she did not at all try to explain herself to Brynn says more about where their friendship is now...especially since she had her back between their Season one and Season 2 from what Ubah said. She has Brynn's number, too. And I can see why she will likely explode next week because Brynn has been poking this bear, lying on others, and starting mess all season. Not completely likeable, but Ubah was real IMHO this episode. Now next episode...lol. But yep. A good episode. Even Rebecca had some good Confessional and got her lick back on Brynn. hehe.

lol.

That's exactly who I was thinking of. The question now would be...can Gizelle hold her own against Messy Mia? That's exactly who I was thinking of. The question now would be...can Gizelle hold her own against Messy Mia?

I say YES!!! I was wondering the same thing...and my creativity has been on one. Yeah, I was going to say what my favorite poster online says. If she is not at the reunion because she's in rehab...I'm fine with that. Otherwise... ETA: Sorry to hear you two got the bug we all seem to have gotten. And you are doing well.

True. But I think this time he's on his way out.

I agree. If this was about Drew staying around, I think the majority love him as a slimy cad versus what he was since CM came on. He gives us a villain to root against. But it does seem paint-by-numbers at the least and writing him into a corner at the worst. And I also agree that all soaps need a good guy or two for counterpoint. I say that about Chance on Y&R (and Paul before him) all the time. I do love that we have a team of good guys here. I just wish that the writing would let them be as good as the mob, but alas. There's NOTHING like Carly on the loose.

Some put that out there online. And all I can say is...it would fit. Then again, Cyrus going after him could be the way for everyone to figure out that he did in Dex and Sam. So *shrugs* Well, they knew a good thing and used it along with the whole cast. A certain EP could take notes... YW. If it does like it usually does...we should have a great January, February, and March period at least. It was usually mid-March, April...when someone's BTS hands got exposed.

Lol. Oh, you. Tbf, January on GH has usually had a good pacing to it that comes across as if it's building to February Sweeps. And there is almost always an event that kicks it off somewhat. Or something happens right before. I believe last year it was Spencer and Esme. And the year before that it was Nik's dark descend. etc. So it's per the course. Which I don't mind at all with GH. Lol. After posting that...someone posted the original. It goes without saying how good someone looks. But yeah it sounds so weird.

The most cohesive they have ever had. Honestly I like them all.

Well, I saw people called it these New/Old writers' version of 'Clink, Boom.' Not as good naturally.

Exactly! Not to sound like a broken record, but...again...it writes itself.

Yeah, a bright side to having Lois know for sure because I trust Rena to do that material justice. See? That would be cool. And also plausible if it was Tracy. Tbf they are already calling Willow that. So do you hate her more than Joss though?

Ding, ding, ding!!!

I just saw what you were talking about. It gave me a good giggle seeing your reply.

lol.

Yeah, I don't see how they can even make it work. Well, I have more faith in Elizabeth Korte to plot her episodes to explain this character assassination than Chris Van Etten, but I agree. It would have to be a doozy other than BLQ was too young. When this storyline started at being hinted at, I could not see how it could even be made to work given Lois's character. Then I thought perhaps BLQ blacked it out. Then I thought perhaps Lois did not know. But it sounds like they both know (it's preempted here so I will wait later to see the scenes) and my mind cannot wrap itself around it because like you...it does not ring true. Just like the accent storyline. You had the right to side-eye. Lois is too proud of who she is and where she came from to be hung up on her accent. Especially with those nails.

1-6 SLAP HIM AGAIN, BROOKE!!!! SLAP HIM FOR ME!!! AH! HEHE. I know, I know. I shouldn't have liked it at all because usually Brooke ends up back with Ridge, but I enjoyed the episode so much. Why? Because Ridge was having me see red as he stood there and just ranted and raved about how his wabble ego was bruised because Brooke had no time to warn him about her becoming CEO. That she would even try to get the company back FOR HIM??? Ugh. The ego on him. And I was so tired of her taking it. So to watch Brooke get her backbone, bring back how he called her daughter a dog, calling Taylee what she is aka SECOND BEST, and then shoving Taylee on her way out the door. I WAS HERE FOR IT!!! GET THEM, BROOKE!!!! KKL clearly loved that material. And that slap had sound. Uh oh...at Luna and her eavesdropping on Bill, Will, and Electra. Hopefully, she is not going to be the next spoiler in that. I have images of Amber and young Rick in my head. The dialogue was a bit off, but I'm intrigued. Cuz yes, Bill's place is big...but how long before someone realizes that Luna is out and living with Bill. No offense to RB, but she's not my Taylor. Sorry.
