Well, they had had a salon for a while. It makes me wonder if it's the same one. But I agree with you. Say what I have about GH...and I do...I can't fault on Frank's ability to keep sets rotating in and out and it usually feels completely plausible. Like if it's summer, you can count on the pool set coming out. Meanwhile...Y&R needs more Ashley for you. 😜 Yeah, I really enjoyed them getting his shirt off....lol. But I am enjoying the slow build this week because it's been so sarced since Sam's death. And he sells it sooooo well that he's into Jordan. Oh, the hiss I let out just seeing Isaiah in scenes with Willow like Jordan had already claimed him...lol. Yeah, I guess the writers are doing a good job because I already consider them together. hehe. Indeed.

12-19 Jason...AND SASHA?? Uhhhhhh. I...didn't hate it, but WHY when Elizabeth IS RIGHT THERE??? And given the talk earlier here on Brennan and Joss...I didn't see as bad of an age difference. How old is Britt in comparison with Sasha? Though I don't think Jason/Sasha will be as hot as Jason/Britt were. I was...befuddled. But hey...at least it isn't Anna, either. And Jason desperately needs a storyline all his own. HELLLLLLLLLLLL-HO, SHIRTLESS ISAIAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or...YES, PLEASE. Were the sauna scenes silly? Yes. But I felt it was not played too serious nor too campy. So...silly soap opera situation? In any case, that was funny in a good way. I enjoyed Tracy vs Martin. A good read-off. And then that scene with Tracy and Jason. Just the buildup to her saying he's more of a true Quartermaine than Drew would ever be. The earned respect. Well done. I also wish the Michael/Curtis scheming had gone on a little bit longer. There were some stumbles, but Curtis vs Drew had Curtis lit up confronting Drew. And it was kinda sad, remembering that Drew started Aurora with Sam. He lost her. And now he's lost that. Given his military background, could Drew fall off the deep end before anything else happens. A Drew on the verge of a breakdown...which might be coming since he is probably about to lose Nina AND Willow...will probably be a more dangerous Drew. Clearly, someone was in the mood to show off the men's bod. I have NO complaints. So not here for all these hints that BLQ and Gio might be related related. Good coda.

RHOP Well...now that I've sat down after a day of running around doing errands. And looking forward to a Friday night with no plans but cleaning...and perhaps wine....lol. I figured that I can play some catch up. I think the only thing that I had not watch (outside of OC) has been the last new SLC. And I watched the last new RHOP. Filler. Good filler, but filler all the same. In fact, I thought the editing was very jarring. Was I that drunk busy or did I miss all the mentions of the trip to Panama...outside of Keiarna's confusion that one episode? Because the scene movement from La Dame's Love Lagoon to the start of the trip was just too abrupt. And it was just...there. I was looking forward to the La Dame/Giz team-up on Mia and Jacqueline her representative. And with that, La Dame vs Jac was good. But Gizelle vs Mia...well...even I was like Wendy side-eyeing Gizelle. Because is this the same Gizelle that came for Wendy over a look?? Mia said/did a whoooole long more and barely was attacked by Gizelle. Rumor has it...Gizelle did go harder, but it's on the cutting room floor. I just le sigh...the one time Gizelle would be justified to go off on someone and we are NOT seeing it. Throw it away. This season has been great and refreshing. Don't start to go back to what was not working por favor. LA DAME. I liked that she clocked each and every time she knew Mia was causing mess and held her accountable. Meanwhile, her vs Jacqueline was a running joke on the trip that kept giving. Cuz them at the airport. Them in the same villa. Them at the dinner table. La Dame taking the picture. Just...never boring. GIZELLE. Smh. She was doing so well. This episode had Gizelle with some stumbles. If it was not the fact she didn't call out Mia the way she should have been called out, it was how she did not vindicate the new friendship she had going with Wendy. A shame since she was actually ki-ki-ing nicely this episode. ASHLEY. Awww look at Ashley having a man who isn't a gremlin. lol. Outside of that, I will always live for Stacey whacking her on the head for coming for her relationship with TJ. She also gave some funny Confessional this time around. WENDY. I admit that I hollered at Wendy being in charge of the trip and choosing chaos. Putting them ladies on a 2 hour drive so they HAVE to talk to each other. Putting La Dame and Jacqueline in the same villa when they aren't getting along with each other. Clocking Gizelle for her past actions when it was Gizelle vs Mia at the dinner table. And of course dancing with the others. STACEY. Thank you for having fun and always having a heel on Ashley's neck. KEIARNA. Sadly lint this episode. MIA. You know...for someone who came to the love lagoon alone, she was acting like Jacqueline was her date as she walked Jacqueline out and talked to her when La Dame kicked Jacqueline out. And she got some good licks in during the dinner table. And then that cliffhanger!!!! Did Gordon run off with the kids? Really? I can't believe all the housewives are on their trips. The beginning of the end.

She really has been benched. Which is why I was happy to see that she seems to quickly be becoming friends with Remy, and it felt like her 'psycho' senses were slooooooowly going off observing him. And I hoped she might catch on. But if they are rushing the story (I haven't started watching this week episodes yet) already...perhaps it will be nothing. I agree. B&B...like Y&R BITD...had a reputation of seeing if a story is not working, quickly taking a turn or ending it outright. So it should be easy fixes and yet...*shrugs* IKR!!! How the mighty have fallen.

12-18 Well, I'm glad that I took the time to actually pay attention by rewatching. How could I not focus on CAMERON BEING BACK!!! lol. Stupid work week. LMAO. But I was so happy to see him, see that he's HAPPY, AND with a new girlfriend who is treating him nicer than Joss. And of course, I'm happy to have Liz's kids on canvas. I was bummed that Jake is still abroad. And VERY annoyed that it seems Tobias and Aidan might actual be together, but they are off screen? REALLY? RME. I really wanted to hate on that meet-cute with Jordan and Isaiah, but I LOVE Isaiah and Jordan so I just sat there and watch him swoon all over Jordan. And I was giving serious Auntie side-eye at Willow. Cuz THAT'S JORDAN'S MAN, TRICK. Yeah, it's a whole C plot at the moment, but I don't mind them at all slowly getting to know each other. Meanwhile...ugh...could Drew be any more of a stalker? Cuz how he be looking at Willow has started to get extremely creepy. Meanwhile, I'm still shocked that Nina has not told Willow about her and Drew. But when you are an afterthought in a storyline that started with you... I was not a regular viewer with most of the Oscar storyline so I missed his death. That said, I find EM doing a really good job. I feel her loss. You know what? Curtis being sure he's iron-clad in as Head of Aurora. Michael with the payback. Carly itching to Carly and me being on HER side. This whole storyline sure could be aiming for that murder mystery we keep talking about here. I continue to be amused at how Frank Valentini manages to give us new sets. That new part of the Q mansion and now Nina has a whole living room?

He is. At least until his wife goes insane and kills someone again.

Taste! 😜

The age difference is too vast period.

He was. Sadly. Ewwww. Though true. Lol. I wouldn't wish that for Charles Masure though.

Oh, really? Wow.

It's a shame they never revealed them to still alive after their entrance onto the canvas.

12/20 Ridge I see continues to be #$%.

Them facts. Very.

LOL. Well since both shows ended...7 years on one and 2/3 on the other...and they were fan faves before she upped and took a break from acting...yep.

Weeeelll...*shrugs* Well, she went on to better things so blessings. A time!!!

Lol. I don't know if Heavenly or Quad would let that happen.

And AM.

And if worse comes to worse, Jason (another of her men) is a very solid 'in case of emergency...' hehe. You would. 😜 Very. It's very special. Dare I hope she heads the Episode Count again? I love having so much Liz after YEARS of her being background rather than being up front where she belongs. I'm living for it.

Oh, yes. I love this moment in time where Liz has soooooo many relationship options who she has a story/history with...and she's not paired to prop up one of FV's pets. I am loving it. Yeah Ric could be paired with just about anyone right now, too. Cute. Cool! That triangle had potential to go the distance if allowed. That killing was a mistake. Yay!!!

Thank you!!! Happy Holidays to you and yours as well. Amen. Speak on it!! If RJ is not going to be used in ways that make sense in the stories going on...at least give us something to look at.

Ewwwwwwwwwww

12-17 You know what? Before the Year of Tortured Heroine, I actually liked Sasha. Or the idea of her at least. And between the interchangeableness of her and Willow, I always felt Sasha had the edge because she COULD be a potential bad girl. But since the reveal of her being a Scorpio, she just comes across like 'Making Fetch Happen' to me and I'm over it. Which is my way of saying her/Sonny scenes were mostly zone out material. Though she does get my sympathy for it being the anniversary of the loss of her baby during the Year of Tortured Heroine. Lulu vs BLQ. I'll take it. And I was on BLQ's side. Because we have seen her growth on screen. It's just sad that Lulu would not give her a break. First time Lulu was really in the wrong. That said...I continue to love the energy that AB is giving. I know we all say it often...but she's such a great recast. I feel like she's always been in the role. However, the anvils being dropped about 'summer camp' was reeeeeallly overkill. God, let that story have a rewrite. Oh...Martin lost his accent again. But what really is starting to bother me is the more that I see Laura, the more I'm reminded that she's NOT IN SCENES WITH HER JUST AWAKEN DAUGHTER!!!! And then I *side-eye* But I can say the same thing for Lulu's brother. But that's okay with her brother because I enjoyed the battle of Liz's Men. lol. Ric gives snark like no other man on this canvas, and he STILL kept it professional. Or at least I felt that way. He was dead on serious about Liz's case. Lucky just wanted to play hero. And I thought the adversarial energy was decent. Not Jason-level, but good enough to want more of it. And I love the sweater Rebecca had on. And swoons...Rick is such a silver fox. Ha! So Jason is in control of the Charlotte story now while Anna is in control of the hospital serial killer story. Okay. I guess. So over whiny Anna. Maxie continues to be love. Her trying to get through to Cody and also checking Tracy while still keeping her sass. YES, PLEASE. Ugh! That ending. Robert and Holly aren't even in town. GO AWAY. Not Jim Henson!!! lol. I agree as well and why I said what I said earlier about chemistry. By just not doing anything with Gio and Trina...little bits of bonding and no cutesy/meet-cute scenes...they now have chemistry that generated so organically that now it's possible to see them together. Which is a shame because now Trina has a new love interest doing most (not all) of the things that make people immediately not like the pairing. When if they treat Kai like how they treated Gio...with little bits of bonding and no cutesy/meet-cute scenes...I feel the same thing will happen with Kai and Trina. And bonus...she's generating chemistry with both males that come across organically and not forced. You know, a young soap triangle. But I hope they circle about around to that rather than insert Emma in the spot that has Trina's name on it. I agree about the Joss and Trina friendship as well. If anything came out of this year, I would say that their friendship became more on equal footing. Heck, the last six months or so, I feel like Joss has been Trina's talk-to rather than the usual Trina is her talk-to. Their roles have switched.

See? I remembering reading some of that, but I didn't know Patty and Ian...ewww.

Patty?

Yep. Pretty much.
