4-9 Now, Smitty, I know you are not out here being mad at Martin (Sidenote...Brandon Clayborn was looking like a snack) for considering security again when he's running around putting people and Nicole in danger by breaking into the hospital records. Yeeeah I can't wait for Martin to find out what Smitty has really been up to. But this was another good episode for me. I know a few of you have mentioned how Judy Tate is very good at one on one family-orientated scenes. And two things that really stood out for me was Smitty's story about being nervous to meet Anita and Vernon. And I thought that it was a nice little reverse interracial relationship situation since you would expect the boy who had tv dinners in front of the tv to be black while the boy with the etiquette of dining would be the white boy. Naomi and Darlene talking about being policemen wives was also good. Speaking of Darlene Hawthorne, she continued to be worth the wait for her appearance. FINALLY Izaiah and Eva have some conflict between them that isn't Kat. Not only because Darlene doesn't approve and have her ways which is triggering Eva, but because Darlene don't like Silk Press Sheila at all due to her close ties to the Duprees. I lived for Darlene vs SPS Round 2 and look forward to Round 3. And I already said she has a hint of bougie middle-classness to her. Speaking of FINALLY, SPS did come across more villainess again in those scenes with Darlene. And sinfully seductive with Marcel. I wished she would stay in that persona. And now they are getting tied into the plasma ring. THAT might make it interesting. Have I mentioned that I'm a fan of Ashley and Grayson? No? Well, I guess I am. I so enjoy their scenes together. So very much better than her scenes with Derek. Finally, the subplot with Samantha wanting June to come see her at the cotillion is relatable and I can't believe Samantha snapped at her. Girl...no. And two cliffhangers with Naomi catching Smitty and Samantha vs June. Two. CLIFFHANGERS. It felt really good to have two episodes in a row that I wanted to rewatch again. Good job!

Double yay!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @Broderick call it!!!

And Alexia and Adriana came to support her like real sisters!!! But YES, I CAN IMAGINE (and in their voices, too) so I'm so irked at Bravo and Andy for it being on pause. Makes no sense at all.

Happy feet!!! ETA: @Maxim IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So it's going to be a hot summer? Good.

Oooooo

And you understand correctly. ;) Part of the reason I'm super excited because that album (and being a pioneer for the 'album that is a continuous mix' movement) was a time. Though I liked Mirwais...until I didn't. lol.

lol

BH So allegedly the BH reunion trailer drops tomorrow and will be THREE parts?

lol. Not the Pacific Coast Highway!!!

One can hope she won't dictate like that. Mmmmm Daddy Chase...

Same cuz you know I'm over here manifesting Tomas's exit storyline.

Hehe. Okay, Take a Bow can play, too. But seriously, it really and truly is a great sequences of songs and I have always loved it since I first listened to BEDTIME STORIES. Oh so well done on Madonna's part and still stands the test of time with how flawless it is. I loved that picture, too!!! It was my avatar picture in other places for a long while. So very excited. CONFESSIONS is one of my favorites...concept, executions, remixes...and did get my butt back into the clubs at the time. I don't know about the clubs now lol, but Lord...I can't wait to get my hands on it. I have such great memories. I need her to show everyone that she still got it.

Same. She is too fun!!! She has been too watered down. Where's the Tracy Jr. that she used to be?

Probably cuz of how BLQ is a saint under these writers.

SHE'S COMING....

4-8 Well as much as I know it's a rehash of the Damian storyline which was a rehash of the Winter Takeover storyline...I can't say I'm not glad to see Malcolm and Vivica Fox Stephanie. And because it's people I care about, I do feel surprisingly invested. And Malcolm did smile for a second there in spite of the grim storyline. And I'm really loving all of the Olivia mentions. Giggly Heffa can go away. I did love when Cane wiped the smirk off her face by mentioning her kids. That works every time on her.

Amen. Can't wait to be caught up to see what she has done next. Besides be THAT GIRL of course.

LMAO

4-8 Now, Deacon, NO. Just no. Kinda late to throw Hollis and Tom in Sheila's face to shield you from trying to have an affair with Taylor. That said...this past week is already off to a juicy start. The campiness of Sheila with the pizza! Deacon vs Sheila and how layered that conversation was! The cliffhangers at the end of episodes! The show is kinda on fire. And I don't mind it at all. Except for Ridge. He can just STFU. lol. I have nothing else to say. Except that I knew Taylor/Deacon/Sheila had the potential to drive some story back when it was just treated like a C plot. So great to see it going and episodes being so well constructed.

Exactly!!! It could have been Jen Shah 2.0 all over again! And if they had not been paused, they WOULD totally have been filming when this happened.

Well, I definitely have enjoyed the gradual acceptance of the actor in the role among everyone. In an age of constant recast, it is still nice to see an actor/actress grow into a role.

Yeah, I just saw it in passing this morning. Good to see the actor still around. But I wonder who.

UGH. SHUT UP, RIDGE!!!
