I think with this show, humor should be used at the right time and with the right people and definitely...depending on the characters...need not be slapsticky. That said, Maxie is a character who benefits from having humor which was always a part of her personality with KS in the role. So glad it's back with her because she's given some of the funniest and snarkiest moments over the last few months. Doesn't seem out of place at all. And I like having that character type around.

lol.

When he was on Y&R...no. Well, not outside of him, Victoria, and Nikki at the start when Cole had more spark and dancing at the club. lol. Now on AMC...hehe. Hate he cheated on Mia...ironically played by AH.

Very much so. So I'm happy that Lulu's return outside of block filming has been so good so far. I'm shocked at how invested I am given how I feel about the writing most of the time. Serendipity. I had tears. Now I want the rest.

Amen.

Well I took the liberty of watching the live thread earlier on my Hulu who I saw the end of the episode with the next week scenes. Apparently ABC already went ahead and released a sneak peek for next week involving the character who is clearly missing from this story as referenced above that said character does appear next week. For those waiting for that character's reaction to the news revealed at the end of today's episode.

No reason for him to be. But that would never stop RC.

You might see a surprise for next week if you have access to ABC player or Hulu.

Lord...

^THIS.

Mercury retrograde doing its usual number on my technology. This time it didn't even hiccup.

I can understand that. Oh, they did? I did not know that.

What little I've seen of her during that year AS was out, I liked what I saw of her.

Very true. And right now that is what Chase/BLQ story is currently going to be so...well...

Very true. Was just thinking of this.

Speaking of GH changes, have they changed the writing structure or is there now 3 writers per episodes?

Now that I'm thinking about...yeah. I mean there has to be a better way to do this re: Chase/BLQ than this. Moreso because their story right now is baby-making. I mean unless Chase is going to turn out to be not fertile...

NY It was a nice BounceBack episode. Thank God! lol. Perhaps it was the fact that this episode was basically just individual scenes with little mini-group scenes. Both are things that this show does well. Any time things shifted/circled the prank, my eyes glazed over. I would say it was Erin's episode if it was anyone's. I was so confounded. I spent the first half of the episode hating on her because her continuing to stir the pot and getting overdramatic when the group came for her was annoying. And then...she flipped the script with her personal arc about her abortion in the Glamour interview, her feelings on the Roe v Wade overturn and how it impacts women, and then having to sit down with her father and let him know before it shows up on the show. It was more bittersweet that I had completely forgotten her father passed away before the season started. She came out of the episode...dare I say it...a more well-rounded individual. So it's a shame that she appears to be targeting Ubah. But...that's for NEXT week. That and the POSE/Paris is Burning party. UBAH. She will always be a ki-ki when she is hanging with Sai. I can't believe how much they hang out when when this reboot started it was all Erin/Sai. So it's interesting to see how not the same the friendship between Sai and Erin is now. Meanwhile, I could watch Ubah and Sai have girl time all day. I was so envious of their food, too. lol. Meanwhile, I felt Ubah was the most chill of the girls when they were confronting Erin at the pigeon event, so I don't get why Erin appears to be stuck on hating on her all of a sudden. Moreso since they were ki-ki-ing with Andy (and Kyle and Garcelle) on WWHL afterwards. Odd. Ubah also went to see about fertility and the possibility of having a baby with her man. What a difference a year makes cuz she is finally opening up. JENNA. Speaking of opening up...Jenna talking about her abortion and bonding with Erin. WOW. And then the scene with her son and her having to deal with him going away to college was so relatable. And some of the looks they were giving was such a worried mama. And not her being flirty with Raquel and her girl giving her permission to have a crush...and it's NOT BRYNN. I loved that she was answering Raquel's questions about the group and the history with them to date. Not pot-stirring. Not hiding hands. Just real talk. It spoke volumes when she explained how Brynn works, and Raquel trusted her words since Jenna/Brynn are a thing. JESSEL. She was a little light this week. Great confessional looks. And we saw her family though. SAI. Was it here that someone mentioned the rumor of how Sai met her husband? Perhaps it was online I saw it cuz I hollered when that came up this episode! I guess Sai has heard it, too. lol. She really was our Greek chorus this episode. And watching her when everyone was confronting Erin said so much about how their friendship appears to have fallen off. Is it just me? They really don't seem as cool as they used to be. BRYNN. So now Brynn is lying that Erin told her about the prank? Even I was Team Brynn on that. It sounded like Erin was trying for semantics, and that was not going to work here. Brynn still figured out that Erin and Rebecca were pulling a prank. If Erin had not said anything, yes, Brynn probably would have still stirred the pot. Or not. Erin saying anything guaranteed that she would. So...whom fault is it, REALLY?? Meanwhile, it WAS Brynn's fault that she was stirring the pot with Rebecca (who continues to open up more this episode, too). After the pigeon event, Brynn vanished. RAQUEL. There wasn't anything she did this episode that I did not love. I didn't expect to see Raquel vs Erin, but I did enjoy it. Raquel is new and wants to know the lay of the land. She is also upfront. So her voicing everything out in front of everyone versus the game of telephone this group likes to do was refreshing. After all...was not the reason for this stupid prank...the game of telephone these ladies play? I did not like Erin being so dismissive of her, but I love Raquel did not back down. And everyone was on Raquel's side. And I really loved her scene with Jenna where she was asking honest questions about the ladies to get a feel for them. She's a newbie and that would be a realistic way of doing it. And do I even need to mention how much I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE her theme for a party. If you have been in the POSE thread here, you know. ERIN. No, I was not here for her victim meltdown a la Bethanny Frankel when the group confronted her on telling Brynn about the prank. I didn't like her backpedaling and saying she did not tell Brynn. I really and truly did not like her being defensive or dismissive with Raquel. Am I surprised? Nope. Production even did the rollback on the last time she was confronted by this group. As much as Erin wants to be the HBIC, she can't handle confrontation well...something a HBIC can do with ease. So not a good look for her. What was a good look was everything after the pigeon event. I didn't like her at the event because it was such a backslide to the Erin of last season who I did not love. Erin has been pretty good this season. And this episode continued to bring out the best. Her story about the abortion, her interview, her conflict over whether to tell her dad, her TELLING her dad ON CAMERA, her spilling family tea. She put it all out there. Her talk with her father resonated with me, reminding me of when I came out to my late father. His words...the same as Erin's dad. So respect for her restored. Until next week where she goes back to pot stirring. A good episode if you love their individual stories and a very personal one.

THIS. lol. I mean, I would like to see the episode count next month because she really has been sharply decreased on airtime already.

11-22 I almost forgot about it. I guess it says something for Y&R and GH's November Sweeps vs B&B's. But seeing the article on the main page about the rating bump, I wanted to see what was going on. *looks around* Yeeeah, I don't get it. I did like the suspense of Carter trying to get Ridge to sign the papers. And Ridge almost had me. I almost thought he was going to have a brain. But alas. lol. Uh...Remy kinda cute. lol. But his interactions with Electra give me pause. She seems happy to see him. So is the story that Electra is worried about a stalker, but doesn't know who it was, OR does she have another secret coming on top of that secret. KKL BETTA SELL THAT FRIDAY CLIFFHANGER SCENE!!!! lol. Brooke eavesdropping, running straight to Ridge, and basically gathering him will never not be funny.

Well since I don't... I do feel that it's kind for a rest from Kristina. Though to be fair, she definitely has been used lesser than she was at the start of the year. For better or for worse, she at least is an early pivot.

Well he is a good soap kid. Ha

Completely. The real question is...will Kristina have a meltdown or breakdown when she does?

Not cheeseburger!!! lol
