See? The funny thing is he isn't my type either. And definitely don't like his rl personality. But I can say he's not ugly for the most part, but never really found him attractive...until the suits and dad bod. Michael...not my favorite of Sonny's kids...I'm...mostly indifferent now in a wasted potential sense. Another good story in the making for the saga of 'If/When Kristina loses the baby...'

Yeah, I've been waiting to see the clear dad bod he's been sporting under that suit...since everything else is in place and nice. Was not at all disappointed. Another actor who looks even MORE attractive with a little more meat on their bones. I'm not against that either. lol.

Yeah just like RH over on GH, I am wondering who has it out for SC other than JG cuz all the stories she could be getting now that she's normal again and all of her connections are firmly intact and yet...she is getting blink and you miss her scenes now? Make it make sense.

Oh...?

Oh, for real!!! I can feel I'm going to dread him getting his (JPL) hands on nuRHONY if it is true he's over there. Because so far I'm liking it. I did go ahead and read my first impressions from back when I watched the first episode. And I was SHOCKED at how my impressions had already changed. Except for BRYNN. lol. I believe that I'm on Episode 5 and still liking it so far. And I can go on about the architecture for days. Hehe. Well someone has to keep Ashley accountable. Yeah, I have to give credit where credit is due. I think everyone knows how I feel about Marge, but I think her tagline is my favorite. Cuz...true.

Thank you @Errol for the confirmation. I had seen things while playing catch-up, but nothing I trusted. So happy to see it here now that I have some time today. I loved Sprina. And it was (mostly) nicely done. And he was a big part of it. It would have happened eventually re: his leaving. So I wish him the best.

Well, I wish him the best. That said...so there IS a story coming. Hmmm. Same.

IKR. Just ugh. I saw that in passing and just now am getting the understanding. And just le sigh. They always fail upward. Not going to lie. When I first saw that title...that was the first thing that came to mind. From your lips to God's ears.

It started soooo well even with pacing issues. Now alas... Ugh.

5-1 A tale as old as time when people are doing scandalous things...the near miss. Oops. Lol. The Nina/Drew mess continues to be fascinating to watch. Continuing my bias, I enjoyed the set-up with whatever is going on with Aidan. But I will take Liz anyway I can get her. And dare I hope to have a story with her that is not romantic or with Finn? I'm not sure how I feel about how they are writing Lucy. Yes, Lucy is self-absorbed to the point of being over the top. BUT Lucy was already a clever BUSINESSWOMAN. So all this mess with Home and Hearth and Maxie/Scotty trying to talk her off the ledge is really starting to bug me. Not that Lucy would not be this way. She would. But, they don't have to attack her self-esteem so much. I like that TJ and Molly are really starting to disagree over Kristina. Because for too long they really have been (mostly) in sync. And a happy couple CAN be a boring one. That said...TJ (even if he looked great in those jeans. WOOF) is coming across as a bit of jerk. LOVE the Alexis/Natalia scene. It is just nice to see Alexis as cute to how articulate as she can be. And some of her word choices just grabbed me dialogue wise. So...'Vanna' is never ever getting back together, huh? lol. I had to laugh at Val's attempt to romance Anna knowing that Anna's intelligence is currently WORKING. I just don't see Sonny bowing out without what usually happens...which is a power vacuum where some rival tries to take him out to be sure he doesn't want his power back. Or in my wildest dreams (before the surrogacy) Kristina stepping in.

5-2 I remember Ivy. lol. At least it gives Liam something to do other than dealing with his (other) exes. But I rme at Steffy giving even a hint of jealousy. I was so annoyed by Deacon, Finn, and the hunt for Sheila. God, that did drag. I did like to see some humor when they found her. And I guess I am one of the few Sheila fans here cuz she does have them nine lives. And that flashback episode was good work from KB. But I don't know where they can go with that. One can at least hope that BB will stop backing her into a corner writing wise though.

5-1 OMG! The therapist is real??? I continue to just let that be around in my head. It would have been more interesting if Ashley had just made him up to get the Abbotts off her scent. That said...always happy to see CC. And I liked his intro with Traci. Speaking of Traci...Traci vs Diane...I can be for that. BM continues to be good in this storyline...along with ED and her new persona. Sad to see the other one getting control. But it was a well done scene. I liked the Devon/Nate scene today. One thing I continue to love and like to see with the writers is ALWAYS having the tension between them there and beneath the surface, waiting for good moments to boil to the surface. And the scene this did did that. Cuz I was sitting there like Nate going...here goes Devon again. RME. Happy Nate checked him by reminding him that his way of doing things again was part (only part) of the reason they had a (very good) rivalry. And happy to see that Devon did not (okay a little bit) take it personally since he DID ask. #growth I'm sorry. I giggle every time that I see Victor and the cage. And I don't feel sorry for Jordan at all. Happy to see Claire found. Also happy to get that B&B reference between Michael and Lauren. Awwww....poor Nikki. MTS be selling it though.

But since it's not being scrapped, no reason to not discuss it among ourselves. I, for one, am glad for any spotlight on Elizabeth and her kids and have discussed it often enough to not have anyone shocked at my opinion. And going back to technique, in daytime we have seen people raise to the occasion. We seen people...well, not. We most definitely have seen not...only for them to grow when giving something to work with. It may work, it may not. But at least the attempt is made. If it works...like storylines that shouldn't but find a groove...good. If it doesn't...also good. They may be eating crow. They may be not. Nothing wrong with a wait and see.

Well...time will tell. Or at least technique. Very true.

Ooooo....but at the same time say it ain't slow. lol. Uh oh.

Fingers crossed!!! re: Lil vs Heather. Yeah I am curious to see how Kyle and Summer will be post-kidnapping. Because they were sparking as upset parents. Nate and Audra...a matter of time...

Oh yes. I'm enjoying so far.

Viva amour.

Same. I was so excited to see a Lily/Daniel/Heather triangle. And it started so well and developed. And I was counting the days until CK came back from her leave...only to be disappointed by how they rushed that. I wanted to see Lily fight for it. I mean...they didn't mind enough of the history between the two cuz this is not even the first time this has happened between them. I love Lily got to at least lay into Heather and hopefully if they are going through with the lawsuit, we will get more of her doing it while Heather is giving it right back. Cuz VB CAN be fierce when she wants to be. I hope we have Vicious Lily around for a little while. I admit that I have also been liking Vicious Lil with Billy. They are a lot more interesting now that Lily is not being written as lily (pun unintended) white/nice. I would have no problem with THIS Lily snatching him back from Chelesa...who is currently distracted anyway with Connor. Fingers crossed re: May.

hehe. I remember all too well. #talesofdatingchefs Given my interest and dating history...I keep being told that it will be a chef I wind up with....cuz the way to my heart these days IS my stomach lol...Still I will be shocked if not surprised. You have always had taste cuz VM hehe, but you have just warmed my heart in the middle of this workout I'm doing more than you know. You will enjoy. Also...spoiler alert...potential location for my Bday this year.

*gasps* Get out!!! I'm jealous!!!

LOL. I just finished last week today and I have to admit...that (Vicious Lily) was one of my highlights...along with the new Ashley alter and Victor bringing back his cage (see April thread). Lily being bitter and taking it out on EVERYONE has been highly entertaining to me. I was DEAD at her checking Mamie. Dare I hope it (Lil, Ash, Cage) is leading to an actual good May Sweeps...?

NY Well, putting my words where my mouth is. I did start over with NuNY. So I figured that I would do a first impression. Again. Since I did watch the first episode originally. I might even go and see if I can find my first impression again from then lol. Oh, one more thing...OH MY GOD!!!! THE CITY!!! It is making me miss New York City something fierce. Whoever was behind the photography is giving me so much life. And the fact the ladies are housed all over Manhattan and beyond was a clever choice and giving me so much to verbally devour. UBAH. I find her light and breezy and I don't mind that. And she's beautiful. And I like her location around Columbus Circle...more or less my stalking grounds. JENNA. The icon!!! lol. But I find her quirky and fascinating. She's very...cute messy in the same vein as Julia was this past season on RHOM. And I don't think I liked her apartment the first time around. That has since changed. lol. ERIN. Type A personality. But it is nice to see a little bit of a different kind of life through her religious family. And clearly in love with her husband given how many kids they have a la they have the sex. lol. I do think I found this cheese drama petty, but fun petty the first time around. This time around...it was just silly. Not bad silly, but hopefully not something that keeps going as the season goes on. I liked that her and Brynn resolved it quickly. SAI. I like her start-forwardness. I might have found it icy the first time around. Now...I MIGHT stan. I find it appealing. Perhaps it has to do with a lot of my life over this year, but it feels 'right place, right time' for me given some of the internal changes I've gone through. So I might observe her for pointers. Unless she is a bitca and then NO. JESSEL. Hiding behind a mask. I like her. But there's something...off. I look forward to seeing what pops out. BRYNN. Hehe. She was my favorite the first time around. STILL is my favorite. She just screams Brooke Davis from ONE TREE HILL for me and her voice is Rachel's from the same show. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4-25 Hold up!!! Not Victor bringing back Julia's man's set. I... But seriously that set with the winebottles is giving me DAYS OF OUR LIVES Secret Room and I'm not hating that at all. In fact, I was firmly Team Victor for doing it. It could be my personal feelings about kids in danger, but I was mentally cheering him on. It's been surprising how interesting this week has been. Nikki thinking she was going to get one over on Victor...only for Victor to be Victor-ing. It was a surprising good climax. Kyle found Harrison. And AL acted her butt off. The Giggly Heffa trying to make it about her. I just felt everyone did good. And smart on Victor for telling NO ONE where Jordan REALLY is. Given the last two Jordan fights, I wouldn't tell anyone of them either. So when people do find out...it better not be blame Victor. And now a new tale starts with 'where is Claire?' Meanwhile... Ashley has ANOTHER personality. Lord Baby Jesus!!! But like I said before...I can see ED is having a ball and she's playing them to the hilt. Cuz I liked the Southern Belle in the jazz bar. I did not like that they did a lot of the set-up off-screen. And then it was the cliffhanger on Tuesday and it was ignored on Wednesday. Week has been good with these stories (and Vicious Lily), but there's such an uneveness to everything. Just watched. So hollered. Especially given Victor's history of keeping rivals in a cage (and Y&R history of keeping characters in a cage). Surprisingly inspired.

Cameos galore. My brother is LOVING.
