Duh! Yeah, I totally forgot about that. lol. So he's been mad for 3 months more or less. A record. Given how easily those two forgive and forget.

Payback for her not giving nothing that last season methinks. And was expected.

Yeah, that was a little jarring, but okay because we don't see Charlotte much. Now Michael and Sonny not getting along. I still trying to remember when they stopped again. Was it before BLQ/Chase's wedding?

Same, my friend. I really did. And I felt SC could rise to the occasion like ED did with the silly beginning to her own crazy tale. But...I felt like the building blocks for Ash were at least well-done from a writing perspective even if I found it silly. This...just makes no sense to me. It's like I missed scenes or wasn't paying attention. Because I would think if this is because Sharon's meds are off that she would have already gone and gotten them changed by now. And now everyone is picking up on it, but still...nothing. And now we got our first REAL bizarre moment with the Nick daydream...and even that doesn't make sense. Basically it doesn't make sense. And it looks like SC feels the same, making it worse.

7-22 Wagger ain't &*#$. Jason finally gets time with one of his sons, and Wagger wants to pull that crap on him? The only good I saw in this episode was that we FINALLY...just like Valentin being revealed as the head of Pikeman...have a clear direction for Wagger. We had plenty of good guys in Dante, Chase, and now Dex...so it was nice to see Wagger is going to let his hatred for Sonny get him to do things like blackmailing Jason and Carly to make Sonny pay. Not that Sonny ain't paying. Other than me forgetting why Sonny is hating on Michael at the moment AGAIN, I liked the circling of the wagons that the forthcoming Avery custody battle brought to this episode. Is it wrong that I'm Team Scotty/Ava though? Because I enjoyed the heck out of their scenes. We know how I feel about Maura West as a villainess, but Kin Shriner is such a perfect match for her in the scheme department. And the touch on Ava's nose as she revealed (finally) that someone tampered with Sonny's meds, guaranteeing Scotty can push him over the edge. Which Scotty won't mind doing given how he feels about Sonny per Karen. Really ironic with Wagger around, too. Bonus. I felt FH was playing Anna's guilt a little (pun unintended) on the nose in her scenes with Laura. Because I feel Anna as a character would show no guilt in front of Laura until Laura left the room. Meanwhile, GF did so good with those scenes, and the realization that NONE of her kids were in town. Foreshadowing? Or a reason for her to cling to Heather? But GF drew me completely in and I felt that. I also had forgotten that Charlotte is also Lulu's child. So I guess the next big event will be the custody battle. Which ties in the story of Sonny's meds. So...PM's stories ending/turning one by one...

Oooooooooooo

7-24 Okay. I see what you all were mentioning. I guess HT did look kinda phoned in during the first part of this episode where she was still confronting Poppy. But I felt she bounced back a little during her talk with Li. Though I can only imagine that HT was enjoying Katie in a new relationship and now here she is messing with Bill. Speaking of which...awwww at getting a Bill/Li scene. FINALLY!!!! I really wish they had gone in that direction with them. Just this scene alone. Li getting emotional at being called a Spencer and respecting Bill's strong protective love of his family...so much like how Li feels about Finn (and Jack once upon a time). And it's just how they do let their guard down with each other, too...their talk about secrets. Just well done. Heck...they could have had them getting closer back then...and then Bill encountering Poppy with no idea that she was Li's sister. Le sigh. I did giggle at Poppy talking to herself when Luna came home. So DAYS OF OUR LIVES. I thought that was a cute Brooke/Hope scene when Brooke announced Brooke's Bedroom was back. But yeah...Steffy's head is going to explode.

@AbcNbc247 thanks for letting me know. Let me see if I can see those scenes online then. After years of will-they/won't-they and times they were about to with one or the other actor leaving, I would like to see those scenes.

As I was watching recap, I was wondering if they were doing that so thank you for mentioning that. So just to be clear...they have finally gotten to the part of their filming schedule where AZ exits and Nicole is leaving with ERIC? They gave her the happy ending. Is GV gone gone? Because my Ericole heart would not at all mind that.

7-23 That was boring as Hades. Well...except for the last 5 minutes. What did you just say, Victor??? You want Nikki to head what? Jill's head will completely explode. But if that makes Jill come back in the flesh AND on the warpath, I am here for it. Outside of that, I admit that I liked Billy and Lily's little scene at the beginning. So Lily's a Swiftie? Outside of that, it just seems like they are heading back to Billy/Lily which they shouldn't have broken up in the first place. Or worse...given JG's love of Chelesa...a triangle. Oh, now I know Sharon has lost her mind if all she's doing is daydreaming about pouncing on Nick at home. I understand, Girl, but Seriously...why is she THIS off?

Le sigh. I'm sure I will have some giggle moments, but I don't really care. How not unexpected now that Kandi is no longer on there. When this return does not bring anything, I WILL be online with those idiots who been saying it online for years that she will save the show and dragging them for sport though. And I agree. Is not the point of Kenya leaving the fact that she's a liability. Well, so is Shady Phae Phae. A PROVEN one at that...as someone said online. So...Bravo...what you planning?

Well, it gives Robert and Diane something to do at least. And I'm happy to see her. And yes, count me in the group that always see that heading and immediately think Vanessa Marcil. Same. I can't wait for the reveal on who it really in charge.

RHoDubai While it's on my mind, no new episode this week.

yassssssssssssssss

I am watching recap and was about to say where my hot olympic pics at so yay!! lol.

Oh...?

Oh???

7-22 Other than me FF-ing through Chelesa having yet ANOTHER meltdown, that was decent. So have we taken the time to acknowledge that we have a YOUNG storyline going on for the first time in ages? I've been wondering if they were going to do something with Faith since she was back in town and broken up from Moses. And then Lucy is just wandering around. So I wonder if Lucy is going to start to obsess over Faith. Kinda like NEW BEST FRIEND. She does have that gene in her. Though that is not the way that I wanted a story to go with her, but I'm intrigued at least. And those Jack/Nikki scenes were great. Jack might be Nikki's closest friend, but no matter what she loathes Diane. So that is going to be a hard friendship. So it was good to see Jack put that on the table. I did laugh that Nikki followed him all the way from the Athletic Club back to Jabot.

In time.

7-23 I have to admit that I was touched by what Ridge said to Brooke. Sexy and beautiful has no age. And Brooke might have aged, but she still looks sexy as sin. And KKL has aged like wine and can totally pull it off. So I'm happy to see Brooke go for it. Steffy's head is going to explode though. lol. Them Will mentions. hehe. Hahahahahaha at Finn turning Hope all the way down. He told her to button up. Button up? I... Because outside of Sheila, it was clear in those embarrassing scenes how much they have in common. Well I have mixed feelings about Katie vs Poppy. Great scenes for sure. And it's nice to have Heather Tom going what she does best...female showdowns. That said...Katie butting into Bill's relationship. There's so much more she could be doing. And of course, I still wish it was Li doing the butting in.

Yay!!! I've know you been looking for ages. Good to see you're ready.

Now MADAME X was a pretty good album and definitely not chasing a trend. Though she did use some of her old tropes, it was nice to see Madonna exploring again.

A nice pivot.

SLC Okay, so Mary got online two hours after and said it was just a rumor. So hmmm. In other news...and she seems like she might be Full Time this season. Same. I've been saying that as well. What a difference a year (or two) makes. lol. She should have been like this from GO! Hehe. Your dislike for Lesa.

Your phone is just as crazy as my laptop which I think is still recovering from the outage given how it's acting or one of Microsoft forced updates. I totally believe that. That was how it was with I was more involved in theater and even cut across race lines. Funny that I'm now noticing it in hindsight. But omg!!! What you said about the writing department. Wow. The Catch-22 of it all. Just let people write! smh.
