I saw that article. Did not like Babe, but never dislike the actress.

I admit I am curious as well. In my wildest dreams, JG gets a co-HW that knows Y&R.

11-18 Oooo I know Drew did not lie to Nina's face. Smh. So we are really and truly going to paint Drew all the way black hat now, huh? I guess it shows how much the two of them have fallen off that he would even do so. Still...nice to see Nina I guess. I thought it was a good episode. Definitely a Monday episode as the New/Old Writers were setting up for the week. There was so much good going on. We know that I have enjoyed the slow development of the rift between Molly and TJ. Given him forgetting her birthday and so did Alexis, I wonder if the birthday thing will grow into something bigger? I also love Molly/Ric scenes so I really loved all of that. And Ric vs Alexis...OH, YES. His timing sucked, but that is Ric for you. lol. Awww at the Rocco/Danny scene. I thought the Danny actor did okay, but yes, there were times he did look like he might bust into laughter at any moment. Except for the last scene where Danny goes off on Lucas. He did good. He just needs to focus that. Meanwhile, I felt the actor playing Rocco definitely had more presence than him. If anything, I felt it has really grown from each time he had appeared on screen. So his acting ability IS growing. But it definitely does feel like with this and the Drew/Nina scenes that they are building up a new drama involving the kids, Drew, and Jason. That I like. Oh, look Lucky is mixing in with Brennan. Another reason to keep Brennan around. Not to mention Lucky. There was not anything Alexis did not do that was not true to life for me. Even the deflection onto Ric. And darn if NLG does not stay resonating. And it does seem like the writers have the focus of this week back on Sam's death, and it clearly was the case here. The build-up this episode was very well-done. No quick cuts to be hip, but everything building across scenes. I will always be here for giving Dante a hug. DZ stay selling it. Hehe at Maxie. But she ain't wrong about the leather. I like seeing so much Trina. But I'm not sold on Kai yet. Too forced. But at least Kai is trying. Don't you dare jinx Ric like that!!!lol. I honestly hope they let Drew ride this out. I enjoyed Ava's return to being a femme fatale during PM's run so if they are going to lean into this with Drew, I'm here for it. Since the Nina/Drew/Willow triangle is not going where it SHOULD have gone, it appears to be the only organic way to go with Drew. At least, it built off of what's been seen on screen I guess. Hmmm...the funny thing about that with Jason...is that out of the three...he is slowly becoming the only one with interesting possibilities for story right now. Hehe. Good to see you came around.

OOoooo can't wait!!!

NY I guess it said something that I got up this morning and watched. I had no desire to watch it last night. I didn't even want to. Last week's episode still burned in me. I did want to see how this would be resolved. And...the jury is still out. Because if I watched that correctly, it would seem Erin and Rebecca did this prank (and it WAS a prank) to show that Rebecca was not boring and to see who could be trusted. Where they lost me was that they (correctly) exposed Brynn as problematic...only to find out that Brynn WAS IN ON IT, TOO and that ERIN was the one to tell her. So not only does Brynn have one up on Erin, but now any goodwill Erin has gotten with me so far this season has me side-eying her. I thought the episode was okay. And the reveal of Brynn telling Ubah, Sai, and Jenna about Erin letting her know was an ACTUAL cliffhanger. The Erin of last season could not do confrontations. Is that the case for this season? And in the coming weeks, it does appear that the fire in Rebecca will be growing. And given that Brynn (in on the prank or not) really does not see it for Rebecca, could a new rivalry be growing? Not to mention there is still Ubah vs Brynn to come...which was absent this episode and they were completely getting along. However...I am still side-eying. JENNA. Could the rose-colored glasses be finally coming off of her about Brynn? She definitely did not like the prank. She didn't like Brynn's part in it. And that's before she found out that Brynn was in on the prank. I guess we will see. JESSEL. Yeah, I found Pavit having food at their therapy session very disrespectful. And I don't know if he was doing it for show, or if he is really being passive-aggressive about it, but I did not like it. Therapy is to be taken seriously. His lack of seriousness is telling. Meanwhile, I always live for scenes with Jessel and her mother so it was nice to have another...especially since she told her mother about the rumor, but did not tell her about the prank. Get that follow-up scene, girl! lol. RAQUEL. So she knew about the prank, too? Le sigh. Her scene with Mel in the sex shop was cute (love the collar, Mel!). And her with Brynn, Ubah, and Sai at the sex museum was good. Someone needed to put the pieces together, and Raquel put in the work for us the audience. SAI. Very little of her. But I liked that she, Raquel, and Jenna found the prank distasteful. And I am living for how much her and Ubah have bonded over the season. UBAH. Was just giving looks and humor for me this week. Though it was interesting Brynn let her in on the prank when they were at that game. And it's just odd seeing the two of them get along knowing what's coming. BRYNN. Well, the good was that I loved seeing Gideon even if I felt disconnected from the scene. So did he this time. Interesting. Cuz why are they not together again? He seem to be the only guy willing to put up with her shenanigans. I liked that she was exposed for running her mouth. But again...what was the point if she already knew it was a prank in the first place? And say what I do about Brynn, she does admit that she runs her mouth. ERIN. Bad form. All her prank really did was expose that she was a liar. Worse...a wannabe sniper from the side. Then again, this was Erin's m.o. her first season. She would stir the pot and try to hide her hand. And that bit her on the butt because the other ladies did compare notes. All I can do is shrug. Highly disappointed in her, and I didn't realize I liked her so much to be so disappointed. Again...okay episode. Yeah...and now here comes SOUTHERN CHARM and SOUTHERN HOPSITALITY which I guess is the other winter shows now. Just le sigh. I'm shocked at how their hopes for BELOW DECK as the next big franchise has completely lessened. All they have are the HOUSEWIVES now. lol. What? Say it ain't so! re: SLC It has been interesting good and we haven't even got to the Monica subplot yet. I guess I shouldn't be worry about content for me. I still have a whole season of OC to watch here. lol. Still sad about DUBAI. Tell us how you really feel.

*gasps* You take that back! 😜 I agree. Okay, I give you that. lol.

Oh, really???

11-18 Oh, dear. I was worried about how this week would look given it was coming off of a major event, returning cast members, and turns in the stories. On the good side, I continue to love that I was right about the Diane setup. And I thought the scenes were good between Jack, Diane, and Kyle. I actually feel a bit sorry for him. Well more than Billy. But Jack and Diane weren't wrong. I think the only false note for me was that Diane did not wait to sign the papers with Victor. And then tell Kyle. Solid proof. But I am sure this Jack vs Victor fight is far from other. I'm happy Sharon confessed to Nick. And that slowly, but surely everyone is finding out. And then the coda scene with Chance (with that WTF look) was very good. But I guess I feel some of the stakes in this story have now left that it is more than likely Ian/Jordan behind it all. Heck...with Ian in the mix, is it possible Heather is alive? I await the explanation. Good set as usual, but it does feel like we lost the high.

We don't and I would be livid if they go there. But that does seem where it is heading...and murder mystery has most definitely entered the chat among this board. 😜 Though I admit if they go there without dealing with Wagger's murder...yeeeeah that could be much. lol. While true, I lean toward a murder mystery simply due that even with a Q resurgence, Frank might actually be looking to drop another high money person to bring in a dozen characters no one cares about. Or Valentin back. lol. And we aren't allowed to have good things or villainous people that make it work (which CM has and MW was) for tooo long. Don't we always?

I said that when this all started. Because SC and MG were giving off this vibe when they would sit together and talk about Cassie. And I couldn't figure out if they were setting up for them to do just that or if Sharon was going to try to kill Daniel.

Better late than never. Yes, I love you, but I am going to have to disagree. The writing is doing JJ no favors. The best thing about Lucky is that JJ is back and he's been on point with the acting. But the writing is making me glare at him something fierce now which was not what I was like when he first started airing. I feel they could come up with an organic reason to keep Lucky there that does not scream rinse, wash, repeat. Moreso because the clear reason is right there in front of all of us: HIS KID. Something to build plot off of. Which, regardless of block filming, can be done.

Yay! I saw he mentioned earlier he was looking for it. Good he found it. And wow at seeing brief moments of AH. She really does favor JB.

Only near the end of the run.

Sad, but true. She really was back. Love sum FH. And Anna was being written how she should be written. And even when she was not near the end of PM's run, I felt FH played against the material to keep Anna's toughness. A missed opportunity.

Very. This is probably the most power that Drew has ever had. They should run with it. But as has been mentioned, given he's not getting any balance writing-wise...Drew could easily be getting written into a corner leading to a murder mystery.

A great silly show for sure. A good time for syndication. Alas poor Anna. Don't even remind me. I loved having that brand of her back earlier this year.

Then again, perhaps I shouldn't say that. These New/Old Writers have managed to greatly reduce the 'wacka wacka' humor they put in their stories at the wrong moment. And I could see them putting Alexis in a storyline like that just to bring it back.

+ 1 Heck, that last point could be its own little storyline.

Well they seem avoidant on playing the affair longer and definitely on Drew and Nina getting serious which I feel would have happened before the writer change on both fronts. I admit that while I can't stand to look at Sonny right now, I have greatly enjoyed how he has been there for Alexis and allowed her to lean on him. The chemistry is still there.

I agree. I'm shocked that given how these New/Old Writers stay burning down all traces of PM that the tension between Drew and Jason has been maintained. Also helped along by the actors whom give great tension. I don't like him being acting like a creeper, but I do like Drew acting like a prick. And as I have also said, I could go with the direction this change appears to be leading to...a murder mystery.

Very much so. So I saw.

OC ending (but I have a whole season and a half to watch) BH returning NY hitting mid-season SLC at mid-season POTOMAC approaching mid-season MARRIED 2 MEDICINE returning Sunday. I can't say we aren't being fed. lol. But...WOW.

Duh! I totally forgot about Harmony and their tension. I could see NLG playing a later-in-life romance with a woman. Smh.

And then there was three. I liked Robert/Olivia. Moreso when LLC revealed she had such a crush on TR growing up watching soaps. Just a cute little relatable moment. Hahaha! THIS.

Well given how his story is going...😎
