Finally! Got to watch today's preview. I loved all the easter eggs and touches on black history...especially the lantern on the family crest. So the vibe I got from TT is that at some point they will dive into Anita's past. And I'm looking forward to it. And fingers crossed a female rival emerges from it. I will take any of the ladies we have already discussed for her. Though Victoria Rowell will make me fall right on out. Since I didn't run over every name when the character sketches started to drop in this thread, it's been fascinating trying to connect the dots. So I fell out when it came out that Hayley is Dani's daughter's BFF. THAT's messy. lol. And soapy. And I am not sure of all the third generation Duprees and know very little about them so I will be looking forward to seeing them flesh out on screen. And I do remember the character sketches on the mother/daughter social climbers/schemers, but it finally clicked that's who we have been seeing in the promos the whole time. lol. When I think Nemesis, I just think the other girl was her henchman/henchwoman...not related. lol. Well-played. In one week...

Well it might grow his fanbase at least.

I'm still catching up on episodes, but I hoped that going forward that Karen would take a similar avenue as LuAnn when she had her fall. So this gives me hope that she will rise again as LuAnn did. Sounds like they ate her up alive. GOOD. I'm still catching up so are they giving it to Mia like RHOA did to Wig at the S10 reunion so far?

IKR. At first it didn't hit me because I was just shocked that she knew him. Then I was timetabling in my head on if they were in the same scenes together. And then as they kept talking, I was...wait...does that mean...GUUUUUUUURRRRRRLLLLLLL!!! She worked so hard for her inroads. And now...ugh. MESS!!!

Sorry to hear that. If I make it home on time tomorrow, I hope it is working fine.

Since we are in the same area, hopefully it is working better tomorrow. I will watch it when I can. Or find good clips.

But truly someone (I would think) would have the good sense to go...perhaps we should not do this filming knowing how much fans would like to see this or that or this other thing? Given what I said about temp recast pop up at the wrong times...one can't help but wonder. The Drew/Willow reveal comes to mind and at least some of the audience are very much used to seeing Robert Adamson as Michael to not be toooo jarring, but still...that should have been a Chad scene. Or rescheduled. Given how long some of the stories take forever to get to the point...I would feel an easy thing to do.

LOL!!! I was just joking earlier so I take the pictures I just saw are from tomorrow's (2-18) episode. There's about to be some LIVID fans. Heck...I'm livid for them.

I am sure all soaps do. Just not in the way that it would mess up a story like it tends to do on this show. Or Michael will. Let's see if it will be Chad though.

Nope. Just good living shows GREAT results. Yeah, I was hoping it wasn't one of those stupid episodes. I actually thought Giggly Heffa had really showed up in Paris to talk to Billy because she has been acting cray cray. And Sharon and Nick have been growing closer again. But as soon as Chelesa mentioned how she felt like she was falling in love with Adam again when she's been everything BUT that up until now...I figured. I tried. But once Nick started to talk in that long monologue...I was like...NOPE. Though SC was selling it. Once I hit FF and saw Sally with Adam (CH looking great with the red hair), I was out. I went ahead and looked at next week's previews. Like I said earlier...the Damian storyline is the ONLY thing really happening and this past week proved that. It is giving soap. Everything else...not so much. A waste of a February Sweeps week. And it also showed how much Y&R is lacking in young or any couples right now that they could not find a plausible VD episode couple to write around.

Okay so busy AND booked. Still cool.

Now Nate has always looked good cuz...you seen that bubble? But seriously Sean Dominic does seem like he's been really working out. And thanks to the new designer, it's quite noticeable. Cuz...WOOF! lol. A whole dish.

2-14 All heck no. I love SC, but NO. So Monday AND Friday were waste of space episodes. Nick and Sharon as a couple...ok. Billy and Giggly Heffa...nope. Adam and Chelesa...double nope. Stopped halfway in.

Great to hear. Though I've always hated CBS's player.

lol

Them facts.

I can see that. BTG is definitely holding the interest. That anticipation is killer. No block filming to mess up the flow either.

2-13 Mmmmmm Sean Dominic and this shirt...lol. And with this episode's coda, yeah, there is nothing really going on EXCEPT the Damian storyline. We got the reveal. We got the reveal of Amy seeing Holden. We got the confrontation between Damian and his mother. We are even getting fallout scenes. And BOOM...now the twist of Audra and Holden having a past from her Tucker's Henchwoman days. Just the fact that if I am understanding correctly...so Audra has known that was not Nate's half-brother the WHOLE TIME...which will only cause drama in their relationship when it comes out. And she's on good footing with Amy, Lily, and even Devon. Part of me shakes my head. The other part can see the juiciness in that drama. A side-effect (B plot) to the A plot of Damian's arrival. I am just annoyed that all of what I mentioned above has been dished out so haphazardly in comparison to the Ian/Jordan reign of terror that took up two weeks of screen time. I would have love to see more of this mixed into that...though those were good weeks already. And yes, I'm still mad that they did not follow up from the Friday cliffhanger on this past Monday. And FINALLY!!!! Billy showed his hand with that phone call. Nice to see Nick is right for once. But tbf I knew Billy was not giving up his vendetta anyway. But who was he with on the phone? Dare I hope it's Tucker? Which would be delicious given the Audra/Holden reveal. Basically though...the Damian storyline is IT right now. Everything else for me does appear to be boring. Le sigh. Oh, I almost forgot. Ooooo at Damian and Lily's unofficial first meeting. He already looks smitten. And goodness I am used to that look on Isaiah over on GH. lol. So three good developments at the end of the episode. This. The Audra/Holden reveal. Billy's phone call.

Oh, lord...not a pre-emeption. I guess I'll watch when it correctly loads up on my system.

lol

And staying busy, too. Cool!

2-12 Meh. I like that the last two episode have been full of interesting performances. I even think they were set up episodes. However, the overall plot was just in place. I liked seeing Deacon/Poppy. Have they had one on one scenes before? It was...nice. I still can't believe Finn hasn't told Steffy yet. Good. Get it good and messy. And no one still has any idea that Luna is chilling at Bill's. Even better. The more they keep the secrets, the more juicy and explosive the reveal will be. Hopefully.

That's how I took both re: JL and KM. I thought that was clear vs how you can tell someone was on a show because they know someone who knows someone who knows...well...you understand.

Not another temp recast during an important beat of a story and/or climax of one. But...good for Guy. I didn't mind him on DAYS.

Hehe. I admit I did the same as Soapsuds. I forgot. lol. I agree as well. So I can't help, but side-eye that since he is Spencer-adjacent, someone does not want to use him. But like you said, they don't seen to know who to use right anymore.
