Well, that sounds just about right. I know when I get heated, my accent pops back out. And when I get REALLY angry, my Cali accent (and DUDE) pops out of my mouth.

HAHAHA

And something else to think...if I remember correctly, the reason that Scott was let go from DAYS so they could have another round of Dena Higley was that he was interfering with the writing allegedly with someone who sounded like Alison Sweeney...not that I remember if that last part was ever proven. Whom is to say that Scott won't do the same with JG. Speaking of... Same. It's part of the reason that I'm excited. Y&R has had that history of doing that. And when it's someone that has been from old school Y&R, it definitely has winded up being a case of 'when there's smoke...' So...even more excited. Or cautiously optimistic. It just feels to me that the creation and slow arrival of BTG might have woken up someone at CBS to look at their other soaps. But that might be me being too hopeful. And then budget cuts at B&B after all this time? Things to make you go hmmm. But I know when the BTG thread started I gave my theory on that...so I won't repeat that here.

LOL!!!!

More like...can JG write that?

SLC Oooooo!!! lol. I hope when we get to the rumored fight between Lisa and Mary later in the season having to do with kids that people remember what Lisa said in this episode. BITCH. Yeah, the episode was great (other than the lack of taglines though that alternative opening was cute. For an episode.), but the highlight was the group event at Harley Davidson. The issues between Lisa and Angie K exploded. While that needed to get out, it should have been done at a one-on-one sit-down. So thank you, Meredith for deflecting onto Lisa in order to avoid fighting with Little Girl in her feud to focus Lisa on her and Angie K. Meanwhile, FriendofHeather got into it with New Housewife. And...I would say a tie actually. lol. Though I died when Bob said to FriendofHeather 'Guuurl, how you going to tell me to worry about my marriage when you don't even know my husband's name.' Just DEAD. The local trip has honestly been pretty good. If I was bugged by anything, it was the fact that Heather (and Meredith to a lesser degree) have been stirring the pot and trying to kill the vibe of fun. Yes, it gives juicy moments that I love, but it just feels performative. It has been bad enough that Heather has grown too grown for her breeches, but Lisa has, too. Allowing herself to get gassed up...but too much of a coward to confront a Housewife unless it was with an audience. And again, I did not at all like how she brought the kids into it with Angie K. Low blow. Thankfully, the episode even on a cute note. New Housewife in a high fashion hot dog suit (c) LeeAnne Locken and the ladies at a gay club with everyone cheering Mary!!! Love to see it!!! HEATHER. You know how much I didn't like her last week. Well, I liked her even less this week. How could you get the lessons RHOP Gizelle gave you and not know how to do it in a way that isn't transparent? She knew her cousin was excited for the club and taking the ladies to Harley Davidson, and still tried to stir the pot with her and Meredith. Did she not just say in her Confessional about how 'how could I do this to my cousin when she's soooo happy.' GIRL, BYE. And we know I'm not here for her cutesy Greek choir moments so moving on... MEREDITH. hehe. I see you. Other people said it online. And I've said it a few times here. Meredith has always been best when she's on the offense versus doing defense. That was the case here. She's been working to make this silly feud with Little Girl happen, but it has fallen flat. But her going to Lisa to tell her about last episode when Little Girl and Angie K were talking about her and then at the dinner with the sly deflect...well-done. Lisa overreacted almost instantly, and Meredith was left off the hook in her confrontation with Little Girl. I also liked that when Lisa was being cold to her, Little Girl figured out it was Meredith's fault, and Meredith OWNED IT. Her close friend could learn a thing or two rather than come for kids. LITTLE GIRL. I'm shocked to say it, but this is the most I've liked Little Girl since Season 1. I'm actually shocked. And it felt like such a full circle moment to see her and Mary back in each other's good graces which they also haven't been since Season 1 when they were the outsiders of this group. Just WOW. I liked she stood her ground a little bit. I also liked how she was determined to not have the vibe killed. MARY. 'it's a straightening comb. it's for black girls.' MARYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol. She was still a hoot this episode. And she wasn't doing anything major except being herself. Her and Angie K being a ki. Her getting along with Little Girl. Her, the bartenders, and her telling stories about her father. Her at the gay club. Her disdain for FriendofHeather. God bless Mary. NEW HOUSEWIFE AKA BOB. OMG!!!! THE HOT DOG COTURE!!! I CAN'T!! LOL!! She was hilarious this episode. And while I have a little more respect for FriendofHeather for coming for her and her husband, Bob still chewed her up and spit her out. And her Confessional about Lisa picking up random people in the hall to hang with rather than hang with the ladies was hilarious. ANGIE K. YASSSSSSSSSSSSS, GIRL!!!! I still wish she had taken Lisa aside, because she was expressing how she felt, I LOVE she spoke nothing, but the truth. Everyone is used to Angie K being a lapdog. First to Jen. And then to Lisa. Now that she was trying to stand on her own, Lisa has a problem. And this was a continuation of their talk a few episodes ago when Angie told her that she did not like to be called out and always overreacts. And when Lisa brought her kid into it though, she was right to call her a BITCH. And I LOVED her overtalking that overtalker. Cuz I don't know who Lisa thinks she is, but Jen Shah AND Nene Leakes she ain't. LISA. BITCH. I guess I'm gotten too used to caring about kids at my old age, but I did not like she did that low blow to her friend. And THAT'S the thing...Lisa was NOT wrong for her issue with Angie K, either. Angie K did stir the pot by telling Little Girl in the season opener what Lisa said. So yes, Lisa should feel a way. But her going over the top AND the low blow took away from her from being in the right completely. And her not confronting Little Girl immediately after Meredith told her what was said about her only showed she was a weak bitch. Sad since she continued to claim to be HBIC. And no one who claimed to be strong enough to be Vicious Bitch (c) Cordelia Chase would be doing passive aggressive moves on people talking about them. They would be upfront. She came across as pathetic to me. Again, great episode. Can't wait to see where all this mess goes.

Oh, Lord...don't tell me Ashley is going to be the drama at the forthcoming Devon/Abby wedding...

So there is hope. Good. I've over that storyline for sure. Lois was fine as is.

lol. Fine.

10-8 Outside of the Alexis/Martin scenes and those Jason/Anna/Beast scenes (not that I don't mind staring at Charles Masure and the uhhh interesting camera angles on Steve Burton), this was another interesting episode to me. I can't believe how much I liked the Carly/Lucas scenes. He makes her so much more tolerable. Color me shocked. I feel that while Lucas has been in all the episodes since VH first aired, it does not at all feel forced. Okay, Carly always around does lol, but his return feels organic and slowly/well-paced. The next leg of Lucky's return has started. I continue to be surprised that while I hated the first part of it with him NOT being in Port Carles, that I feel so invested in him this week. His talk/denial with Liz. His talking to Lulu and sadly Rocco hearing him (and that little actor did such a good job IMHO). And his meltdown at Bobbie's. My issues aside, JJ is starting to feel comfortable being back and it shows. Yay for Felicia getting a little mini-story with the other PI who is probably working for Martin. But I'm enjoying how Holly also returning with Lucky is lighting up things with her, Mac, Diane, and Robert. Vets doing their thing. Love it! As I did Holly and Robert finally seeing each other. Poor Mac. Oh...Sam has already dived once to look for the gun. Interesting. Yay!!!

Hehe. Yes, YOU. My friend whom bday is tomorrow made sure to let me know with the quickness cuz #OTH

It's funny really. It started from a fall out of a window and now almost all of the momentum has been lost while everyone is treating Wagger like he was Stefano Dimera in his actions rather than the fact that Sonny messed up yet again.

Same. And I see someone has seen the articles about the Chad Michael Murray X-mas movie. 😜

And he's family.

Oooo

10-7 I loved every minute of it!!! I too am shocked. But first of all THANK YOU to wardrobe!!! I don't know whom idea it was to put CD in tight form-fitting jeans, but that bubble was perfection. lol. So were ALL the camera angles. And keep in mind, I don't even like CD, but he was looking good today. lol. Everything about Lucas's return has been good, but this was just next level for me. I literally gasped when Willow and Wiley saw Lucas. It took a moment right before they saw each other that I remember the Wiley storyline that we were just talking about here, but my heart went out to Lucas and VH played that so well. Meanwhile, YES to Maxie and Lucas!!! They had such good chemistry and a banter between them that I loved. I definitely want more scenes between them. And awwww at Lucas at Bobbie's grave. And Aidan coming out to Lucky. Awwww...those were some cute scenes. It made me think of me coming out to my own father. And double awwww at the Triple L reference. And hehe at Terry already knowing about Aidan before his father. Also resonated. Okay, I liked the Holly/Brennan scene. But this part of her storyline continues to play for me like it will be a swan song for her and Robert. But I'm enjoying all parts of it. The delayed in them meeting. Mac having issues with it which I can understand since Robert has made a home in PC and isn't running around so he gets to see his brother. And his brother has a love in town. Meanwhile, Diane finally got told. lol. Or perhaps it's just a story that isn't completely waka waka humor with the vets and it comes across very grown-up. Adult. I could care less for the Violet storyline. And I love Liz got the coda. Though sadden it was for the next twist in Lucky's storyline...the reveal he is NOT a match for Lulu. Le sigh. And so it begins...

True. Also true. It's why I call out when it does subtlety because the whiplash on this show is crazy sometimes.

OMG! That was really bothering me because I like her, but can never remember her name. And I love that. And will use that moving forward. And heehee the 3 degrees of separation for Genie.

OC Well, why I'm waiting for SLC and watching the Padres lose this round of games ugh...I figured I should mention where I'm at on OC Season 17. I've gotten to the napkin throwing incident. And that was sad to watch. Since Jennifer came in as Tamra's friend, it's sad that Gina managed to get a wedge between the two of them. That said, I do love that Jennifer is giving as good as she's getting. But ooooh girl!!! Tamra inviting the girl that started the whole Ryan tea in the first place to Emily's pool party!!! MESSY!!! It's been fun to watch how this 'she said, she said' has been snowballing, allowing Tamra to pivot off of coming for Shannon to mixing it up with someone else. Meanwhile, Gina setting up for her attempts to be relevant by coming for Heather. Le sigh. And of course, Emily was going to co-sign on anything. I was highly annoyed at them coming for Heather at Nobu. Thankfully, Heather has always been a smart cookie, so I liked her outmaneuvering Gina with a compromise. But now Heather might be Tamra's next target and I am just...siiiiigh...did Season 9 teach anyone anything? And unless you are Noella, you better come correct for Heather. And oh, look! VICKI. hehe. She seem more chill and less thirsty. TAMRA. Loooord!!! lol. She has been messy, but you know what? She just does it in such a way that it doesn't make me hate her. Or...love to hate? And that scene at Nobu? It was just chaos. And then her, Shannon, and the married guy at the bar with the waiter...lmao!!! It was crazy. And then the next episode with the mutual friend of her and Jennifer...Tamra knew Jennifer was about to resolve that so of course she came over there. Tamra just plays the villain so well. SHANNON. She's been background. But with the pot stirring going on with Tamra in terms of Heather, I guess she is about to get in the mess. GINA. Meh. At least she gave us some authentic moments with her relationship with her ex. Outside of that, she was being a little gnat to Heather. I found it annoying last season when she was up Heather's butt. And now that she's clearly trying to be relevant, her using Heather to do it is pathetic to me. And that Emily tried to chime in was just as bad. Speaking of... EMILY. Nothing of any interest going on with her. So of course she had to chime in for Gina when they were going at Heather at Nobu. I liked she was behind the pool party, but what else does she have? HEATHER. I mean...Heather has always been bougie and condescending, so why is it a problem for these ladies now? They were fighting for her favor during Noella's season. So it's a little late to try to pull a coup. And yet...that appears to be what is about to happen here. Le sigh. JENNIFER. She has been such a break-out star. She has been handling the Ryan mess pretty well. She matched Tamra's energy throughout without going over a dramatic edge. So far, so good. It has been a nice slow burn, but it looks like I am about to get to the meat.

And now that I see the BDSY ratings (.4), I gotta say it has to be the timeslot (9 PM). Though I do agree with what everyone else is saying about the changing viewing habits.

Ah, yes. I remember! Things that make you go hmmm. I totally agree. Both write themselves. And I'm still mad that before the Kristina recast, it appeared the writers were heading that way with Kristina vs Joss. Both actresses were giving catty and the writers were writing them scenes more. It's been so long since a young female rivalry that I was all for it. And even once the recast happened, there were signs (if uneven writing). But of course now the writers would go with a bland choice. Unless it gets messy.

Howso?

Very much this. Pathetic.

Same.

See? I vaguely remember something along those lines. Cuz Lucky was still the good guy hero type that all soaps need. Goes to show that lass took over waaaay too much for me. lol.
