All right @NothinButAttitude you totally put that out there into the Universe. lol.

Well, thank you for the upcoming clips I saw last night. Outside of Chance appearing to stand up for himself with Billy...nothing has been going on this past week. HOWEVER, the upcoming clips has some juicy drama going that I will soldier on. Cuz we know I'm always here for a READ. Awww I enjoy seeing them. I'm always here for that one good no-drama couple. But I do feel there's so much more they can do with Chance. Especially since the writers are finally doing so much with Summer. Amen. Those were the days. And even when there is a good idea like the original Takeover story that brought back Tucker and also gave Nate a personality...it had so much underlining tension because while Nate whined it was about Devon not giving him control and Devon saying otherwise, the drama was REALLY about the fact Devon never forgave Nate for sleeping with Elena and Nate never forgave Devon for ending his doctor career. And both actors played that subtext every chance they got. Add on memories of Neil...and that was a potential good story that grew slowly. In fact, I dare to say that the best JG business stories have been with the Winters. So much so that JG recycled the basic story for this latest mess with Billy. And even that had legs once it was revealed that Lily was playing everybody. But alas...JG just gets tired too quickly...which brings me back to the beginning of this paragraph. A good idea, but boredom sets in with the head writer. Because characters switching jobs ain't it. I will always say Chance was best as a cop. Because every soap needs that good guy/hero character on the canvas.

THIS.

Yeah say what you want about Ric...and there is a lot to say from clips of his run I've seen...he is always moving story, Rick Hearst is a great actor as well as a fox, and Ric's love for Liz is always there in everything he does. Outside of power or revenge of course. Hollering, but so true.

Well-played, Ms Swift. That said...I definitely hope so on those two votes.

Ooo delicious.

Amen!!

The boat entrance. The Black AmEx. The way she could gather these hoes. The aspirational wealth and how it made me feel. And she always came across authentic. She was THE housewife. I'm getting upset just think about it. Especially after that cute video that Guerdy posted of their friendship. Lord...let me take a breath. Though I understand given the death of her father and the delivery of her baby early, she understandably needs the time to herself. I really hope so.

I think for me...it was the fact that it was organically done with Sonny and Anna. And if I remember correctly, they were both at interesting crossroads. And later on, there was a strong potential in a Sonny/Nina/Val/Anna quad given the history among all four of them. So I wouldn't have mind...and that was back when I liked both Sonny/Nina and Val/Anna. I was actually sad...but also excited...when PM came in and went for Sonny vs Anna because of how close they had grown over the last few years that them against each other had stakes. Yeah, I would love for them to leave it there with Anna and Jason. But definitely seems like they are planning SOMETHING. What it is is ??? I don't know.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yeah, when Anna was without jobs, her and Sonny had a nice interesting vibe to them at one point. And then it went away. I cannot either on Jason/Anna which is why I'm wondering what these New/Old Writers are trying to do with this Jason/Anna stuff. lol. I didn't even think of the Robin of it all. Yeah, mind blown.

9-10 I would say the week is off to a strong start. I would say the only false note so far has been how random it seems to see Jordan and Drew around each other now. That...and the Heather storyline. I mean how did we go from a silly story that could have been a great umbrella story that had the town divided...to just something to give Portia (and Ric) something to do. Two great days of Molly large and in charge. I still very much wish that she would have really let loose with Kristina on the 9-9 episode (at least she did with Alexis), but she really got into her today. And as someone who hates when two people who supposedly are close enough to have code that even I can figure out, I LOVE Molly busting Kristina and Michael because their face code sucks. lol. And now she thinks that Kristina might be behind Wagger's death. smh. I did like that Kristina has enough of a brain to wonder why Michael is having her back...unknowing that Michael knows who really killed Wagger. Oh, what a tangled web we weave... Okay NOW I'm wondering if there is something more I've supposed to be taking from these Jason/Anna scenes. At first it just felt like common interests and comradierie. But the scene with them in the office, and Jason putting his fingers on the police file while Anna's fingers were there. I mean is Anna trying to save Jason's soul...which has been much better served since he got back up until the last week or so...or are the writers really planning seeds for something else to happen between Jason and Anna? Hehe...you know I loved my Liason scene and watching Liz and Jason compare notes. I also loved that Liz was the cliffhanger for the 6-9 episode where the Gannon doc realized he knew Lucky. And the cliffhanger for today. Could there finally be some movement coming with the Lucky storyline? And of course, my Beast had to help his gal Carly out with an updated update while flirting. And time is ticking. The bad guy du jour might have to move his operation AND Lucky. Everything with Sonny was old home week. And I just hate that Anna has been dumbed down like every police commissioner before her for Sonny. And I continued to love seeing TJ and Ric bond. And seeing the long-missed view of TJ's bubble.

Good to see before any merging so meh. lol. I totally forgot Abby and Devon are engaged.

9-6 I thought that was a good coda to the murder mystery. Finn and Steffy continuing to reconnect and him treating her like the queen she is. And Poppy slowly coming to the realization that Luna is the killer and set her up. And then having to let her go. The actress did a great job (except at the end cuz no tears as Bill was holding her). And the actress playing Luna sold it as the po-po pulled her away to head to jail. Li is LOVE. And NuTaylor still does nothing for me. Awwww Hahahahahaha

LOL!!! I mean if we are all about the mob...they are going to have to course correct the hospital back into the show somehow...

From your lips to God's ears! I'm (barely) watching 9-4 and Chance is talking about this very thing to Summer afte the midpoint tag. lol. Outside of that and some Kyle vs Summer clips, I would say the same. Skip. I agreed with the rest of that except for this. When Lily and Daniel are even allowed to have scenes, she's civil, but she really still comes across mad at him.

Speaking it into the Universe since ALL of Laura's babies are coming home this year. Hmmm...I don't know about Justin as Lucas though. I do wonder if they might finally recast since Brad finally popped back up a few weeks back. Oh, it wasn't too long. lol. Happy to see they are STILL married after all these years, too. Adorable. I agree. I can't wait to see her.

Fingers crossed that it is not. Oh she has mos def been on fire. Even when she's just reacting. I love me some Mama Bear Alexis. Same. Yeah, this version of that couple is divine. Because they FINALLY grew up enough...and are still enough of their general personalities...that they make sense.

Looks like they are getting another season. AND there is going to be a spinoff (that has been filming) that goes back to the roots of the show by focusing on people who work at SUR.

RHOM And the rumor mill begins... it is being said Nicole is not back as a full time cast member.

why did you think so if you don't mind me asking? That is so funny to watch since I do believe that is her husband in that scene. That said...30 seconds in...she's giving JMB Lulu version to me, too. But I guess I would say warmer as well.

I would have liked to be surprised BUT...LAUUUUUUUURAAAAA YOUR BABY IS COMING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hollering cuz I agree.

Yeah, that was the only thing that has bugged me about the recent Lily/Victor scenes. There was a pause when Lily said she wants Victor to get Billy out so she can get her old job back. But we the audience know Victor is planning to make Nikki the head of Chancellor. That pause said everything. I also agree and continue to say that Chance should have never left being a cop. Every soap needs that one good guy who is usually the cop.

I haven't even thought about how I would like it to come out to be honest. Right now, I'll be surprised if it makes all the way to November/last week of October. Quite honestly, I started to watch today's (uh oh now hehe) and it didn't bug me as much as everyone else. Though that was some bad feedback when KM yelled cuz it echoed through that living room. Fingers crossed. Same. The last thing they need given what's going on BTS is to do something that Frank likes to favorite for one. And it makes a target on that actor's back for two. Also same. I felt Molly held back too much in the scenes I've seen so far versus when they are at the grace and she DESTROYED Kristina. At this point, I really need Molly to let loose the next time Kristina uses the 'wrong' name, and backhands her. YASSSSSSSSSS!!! Great minds.

I was such a kid that it did not occur to me until I was older that James Earl Jones was the voice to the villain of my favorite sci-fi film series Star Wars. For me, and what was a good representation for me as a young black man, it was his portrayal of King Jaffe Joffer. Ragal. A lion in his ferociousness and with his son a bit of softie. And...glasses. But yet, his eyes held you. His presence was strong AND different to what little I saw of black people on tv growing up. And do I even need to mention his voice? It makes me bittersweet to think it was a similar presence I thought to a character I did in community theater that I did not understand then, but I see now. He's done so much stuff. From Star Wars to Roots to Conan to as mentioned Sesame Street. He was a vibe. A Goat. And lived a full life and will surely be missed. RIP.
