Thank you for the clearer picture. I figured as much.

Well as I sit here waiting for my new episode to load on my system, I'm rewatched Friday. Say what you want, but I will always live for the Dupree family moments. And I love how much Vernon and Anita were being there for Nicole. Tag-team comforting. That was just cute. I also love...and I've said it before...how BTG does what Y&R used to do with major characters who you think are not going to be in the episode. Have them pop up later in the episode. It was a nice surprise to see Eva appear halfway through. And I knew at some point that SilkPress Sheila would wind up at that house alone with Nicole. Still gasped since it was the only time she was in the episode. Another thing that I'm loving has been as we are dealing with fallout from the SilkPress storyline which has been the A story...the writers are finally developing the OTHER A story...that's been in the background. That being Martin's Secret. Love the foreshadowing throughout. From Dani vs Bill and asking what else he was hiding to Kat/Smitty talking post another Martin outburst...which are building...to those unexpected Bill/Smitty scenes. Shame on Bill for planting seeds in Smitty's head. And the unexpected combo was also great. Vernon/Nicole. Kat/Smitty. Bill/Smitty. Even getting another Martin/Ted scene in. I liked that characters aren't just sticking too much into story bubbles. I definitely enjoying all the fallout from the SilkPress/Eva reveal. Eva might be done, but she ain't out. And I continue to get SMG Kendall vibes. Was she wrong? Yep. But she was partly tricked, too. So she definitely has an underdog vibe written all over her for some redemption. And one of the best plots on the show continue to be Kat vs Eva. So Kat seeing Eva getting closer to Tomas is only going to make that rivalry worse. It's been interesting to see the effects on the whole Richardson family from Nicole to Ted to Martin. And yes, fingers crossed that Martin stays triggered...since it feels like it's building onto his secret. Oops at Nicole finding out Andre knew about Ted. I do wonder if she might say it to Dani. And then Dani winds up breaking it off permanently with Andre. And yay! Vanessa showed up for her BFF. I'm enjoying the C plot of the homeless woman. I totally think there's more to her. And it gives Naomi and Jacob a story. I'm sure I've said it before, but I do wonder if it will tie into the crooked cop story or even Joey somehow. And good to see Ashley and Derek...ironically in a C plot. And good to see we got three cliffhangers again. I hope this week does the same on Friday.

Hehe. I understand.

Well, I'll say this much with the writing changes coming, I hope we don't lose all the good ones.

IKR! Tanya Turner, at one point, was EVERYTHING.

EXCUSE ME?????????????

Not FOOTBALLERS' WIVES!!!! TASTE, DARLING. LOVE IT. Cool!!!

The kind of news I need after the last horrible few days. Thank you, Errol!!!

Yeah they definitely are backpedaling on what they want to do with NY.

Very. They're building up his story again and picking the perfect time to do so. As the SilkPress storyline climaxes and go off in several great directions, they are building up that story to take a turn.

Thank you. Awww. But kudos to Mrs. Featherstone because those clothes still look like Ted's style and the vibe is there.

OMG! This one...smh. I sent out positive energy to her family and screen families.

First Look pictures just posted. Looks good so far.

Looks good. Interesting about the birthday though. Hmmm.

That would be me. hehe. Keeping track of who I liked better and how it informed what would happen from episode to episode.

Hey, Mike Manning, hey!!! That shirt and those slacks are working today. lol. Nice to have this Vanessa/Nicole scene. Look at Kat vs Eva as a cliffhanger. I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW SILK PRESS SHEILA WOULD SHOW UP AT NICOLE'S AT SOME POINT!!! Another trio of cliffhangers (including Dani vs Ted...another combo today)! Friday cliffhangers indeed!!!

Go 'head, Martin!! GATHER. Oh my goodness!!! Now we are getting Bill/Smitty. The combos today.

Why does this Smitty/Kat talk feel like foreshadowing what's coming with Martin's Secret? Hahaha. Not Kat and Tomas keep getting business in their way. And uh oh...Eva. Oh, there's Ashley and Derek. Mmmm those pants. And ooooooooo another Ted/Martin scene. YES, PLEASE. Andre...no, no, no!!!! This is going to come back on you with Dani!!

haha!!! Called it!!!

From what I see...some people do. So I would love to see the numbers for it.

I'm liking the mixing today. Vernon with Nicole. Now Kat with Smitty. Hehe. Not Bill gathering Dani.

I love Vernon. And oooo of course the Duprees would be aware of Ted's moves.

So it's on pause. And given what they said about 'reconfiguring' with the current cast...I still take that to mean that they are trying to find a way to keep Brynn.

It's TIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!! Hey, Jacob, hey!!! Oooooo look at Naomi. And so far, I love this B plot. But I agree with Cheap about the woman's identity. And I giggled at Vernon and Anita switching places. Lord...Bill and Dani stay having chemistry. Sorry, Hayley. And speaking of chemistry...it's interesting how Martin/Smitty do have some now. What a difference a few months makes.

Very. Very reminiscent of what's going on RHOA with Porsha. They had to bring in Shady Phae Phae to get any buzz post-Kenya and I still don't think that will help it at all. Production clearly favor Brynn, and it might be the detriment of the show. I had hoped that it would come back because...for better or for worse...they got buzz for sure by the end. However, given that Brynn has been online with no remorse from what I can see...and now Sai's recent birthday where everyone was there BUT Brynn...it's very clear that everyone see her for the problem that she is and want no part of her. And sadly...Production just have no self-awareness of why it's in their best interest to cut bait.
