Tomato, tomoto. She WILL make it off of my hospital set!!!

Thank you. Knowing they will be on is good enough for me. I thought what I've seen of last week so far that it was good, but of course not my favorite stories outside of AL showing how much of a vixen she can make Summer. Which I don't mind at all cuz AL is such a great actress.

I've never been so glad to see Diane.

Well that's good to hear since my week have gotten busier and it's taking forever to get caught up.

Yeah, it's background at the moment and I can feel myself seeing red. Like Dani on BTG, Kristina is just one step forward, two steps backwards with me.

I admit...I was wondering if that was where it was going, too. Alas. She will get out of that hospital set yet.

@Antoyne awww hell no! Not my Ric and Liz.

I thought today was a good episode. But in the grand scheme of RC breakdowns, I liked his second one more. Things that stood out as RCisms was the thankfully very brief mention of the cat story that people didn't even like from his first breakdown, Dani's little jump excitement as she ran up the stairs which made me think of moments from his other shows, and we know I love Nosy Nurse and she saved all of it due to the actress playing her so please don't stone me, but how she was in the episode echoed (slightly thank God) OldRecipe Brad on GH and what I know of Leo on DAYS. But again...the character has already been established as Nosy Nurse and the actress has the best ability of elevating everything she's in. In fact, if it was those aforementioned characters, it would have been sillier. Nosy Nurse can be that way, too, but the actress perfectly grounded it in reality. THAT is a skill. I think what I liked about this episode is the fact that everything was moving nicely. It does seem like this week is going to be about the lawsuit and its dynamics among the Duprees and Andre's drama though. I like the former, but I know there are going to be problems with the latter. I love that we are getting to see more of Naomi. I realized today that I guess I haven't gotten quite a feel on her outside of the other third generation Duprees. But seeing her in work mode, I really enjoy her and what it reveals about her character. She was giving a bit of Olivia Pope with some Christine Blair today, and I didn't mind it. I'm really looking forward to Father vs Daughter. They feel evenly matched. Meanwhile, the subplot with her man and the corrupt cop(?) continue. And them having individual stories is really allowing for them to be rootable as the first together couple we saw in the first episode. Chelesa vs Hayley was great, too. Chelesa got all the good licks in on her. And I honestly like seeing Hayley get out of the bubble she's been in with only Bill and Dani by interacting with others. First Naomi which was long overdue and now Chels. Go on. Will she be able to repair any rift between Bill and Chelesa/Naomi? Time will tell. And then Chelesa having to have a firm hand with Mommy Dearest. Watch that girl grow. Dani, Dani, Dani. So much one step forward, two steps back with her. I honestly felt like she really wanted to help Chelesa. And it seem like Chelesa got through to her why she can't. And then she was tempted by the drink. And then she got that call from Bill. And then I rolled my eyes cuz I knew she was going to take that the wrong way. And not helped by how easily her and Bill go into their old roles as husband/wife. And the fact that Bill can when he is newly married is soooo telling. And God, Timon and Karla have great chemistry. And don't think I didn't notice how they were sat at the beginning of the reminiscing. Cuz by the end, their legs were touching. And I gasped and shook my head when Dani kissed him. I'm sure I'll feel differently later, but I felt today was the first time I was annoyed with Ashley. I think for me, while the start of Andre/Ashley has been nicely paced. Now...it felt very paint-by-numbers. I did like that Derek verbalize his jealousy to Jacob. But, like I said earlier, the show flowed smoothly without them so having them back...at the moment...felt like a clunker storyline. Not even Nosy Nurse could save it. And she was the best part of their storyline. Ooooo cool!

And all of them are getting the proper build, too. Well except for Anita's. I fully expect that to change.

*gasps* That ending... Well, there's Ted and Nicole's FOINE doctor friend who was at Nicole's award event for sure. And I agree. Watching Dani today in work mode...and the other times she's been...she has that drive so I could see her opening a modeling business. Welcome to the club. Onion and all! 😜

And that whole scene is why Bill and Dani will probably be endgame. They fell back into their old roles waaaaay too easily. And there was chemistry there. HAHAHHAA!!! My gal wants ALL...THE...TEA.

Hahah! Girl went and changed clothes and everything. smh. One step forward, two steps back. DEAD at 'what you do?' Naomi is suing Bill and it is automatically his fault.

They gotta go through the fire first. And it's STARTING...

Hmm

'Child, please.' From the mouths of babes, but go ahead, Chelesa...read Hayley. I also love 'When Dani Dupree has people in the palm of her hand, it's usually where they tend to stay.' The delivery. The dialogue. The music. Whhhhattt!!! Not Bill calling Dani.

Hehe. How Olivia Pope-ish. Perhaps Dani should start a modeling agency. She does have good ideas. And when she's focused on business, she's firm, but will get business done. Awww not drinking. Mmmmm Jacob.

You know what? Seeing Naomi in lawyer mode is really endearing her to me. And that she has the guy I like Jacob as her man...just...so rootable. How funny. Were you all just talking about how Laura had not mentioned and she got mentioned today. Still laid up in bed. 'Ooo something may be happening. Let me call you back.' HAHAHAHAHA! OH, NOSY NURSE, HOW I'VE MISSED YOU.

I feel like some do. Outside of her love interests of course. Ahhh. Well in that case...

Yay! Made it to today!!! HA!!! Naomi clocking them thinking about that settlement. Like father, like daughter. DEAD at Hayley's losing her sport spot. #TeamDani Hehe. Round 3 for RC...and his mention of his cat story...OF COURSE. Nosy Nurse!!!

And rightfully so!!!

Le sigh. I'm not sure I'm ready. I had heard something about that cuz Liz...worth me going to go watch?

Coming into April with the catch up... Now they might actually go there with Vanessa and Joey. Well, well...that would be some messy and juicier given what's going on with her husband...and her trainer...and...lol. I am still not over Bill trying to pull a fast one on Naomi. But I really loved that it allowed to see Bill in action. Timon really sold those scenes. That's the kind of manipulation I like to see. Sinister...even a bit of menace...but subtle. I'm definitely here for him vs Naomi who also got some great licks in. And being a true soap moment...how the lawsuit storyline impacted on Tomas and Kat...which of course might give a way to Tomas and Eva getting closer, giving that triangle another layer. Dani, Dani, Dani. One step forward, two steps back. lol. I did like her idea for Chelesa though. But yeah, it's still too soon after the 'break-up' of Dani and Chelesa. And I loved seeing Dani/Kat together since they seem to be the fashionistas of the family. I'm always going to be here for Eva vs Kat. Let them claws out!!! But of course, Kat is going to try to back down for now. But I'm sure the writers will find yet another reason to have them at all. I mentioned yesterday that I already loved the Dani/Andre dynamic. And how she can see right through him like a mom. So great to see more of that. Though such a typical guy with how he's handling Ashley. I also think this was the first time I was personally annoyed at seeing Ashley. While I like her, I also noticed like the rest of you, how great last week flowed without her, Derek, and Andre...and I at least noticed Andre was MIA versus her and Derek. Awww Nosy Nurse...how I've missed you. So Week looks like it's off to a good start.
