Well, what does it say that the head of HBO MAX went over all of their heads to get her to sign on?

5-26 Oh, lord...SHUT UP, PHYLLIS!!! I'm kinda sad that I'm spoiled on this Sharon storyline because the build (and SC acting) has been surprisingly well done. The wine bottle. Nick mentioning the blood stain. And now this postcard...? That's the intriguing I look for. I'm currently loving Ashley/Tucker. And ED knows she's playing the bitca, confused feelings, and warmth to the hilt. She is just so excellent to watch. And TSJ continues to rotate between matching her beat by beat to being just 'Todd'ish. But I giggled at Jack not liking him living in the Abbot house more than I should. I stay saying Devon vs Nate was about ego and less about Elena and thank you Nate for proving it. I just can't with Billy/Chelsea and don't something I haven't did in ages...used that FF button. AL is officially the bright spot in this whole Dead Giggly Heffa story. And the fact that Kyle still does not know that Summer knew is a ticking time clock that I can't wait to see explode because I know AL is goinng to be awesome in those scenes. And I'm here for Chance/Summer/Kyle IF it goes there.

Ooops. Wrong thread. lol.

O...M...G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Le sigh. I had hoped that moving down here to San Diego, but still finding work (not to mention SOM) was a sign of a turn in the road for him. Positive energy sent his way. *HUGS* I just had to take care of an associate this holiday weekend (and got a nasty fall apparently) who was not at all wanting to live. Everyone else joked it off, but that's a trigger button for me and I was not having it so we sat with him, talked with him, and walked him home from the bar. So I feel that.

Another reason to catch up. And the last of Noella of course.

That's a good question because outside of mentions, I believe Brooke turned him down on their second date.

DISCUSS!!!

Well... DISCUSS!!!

Yes, I was just about to say @Liberty City that there is an extended cut...and here you have it. lol. Though I think I want a different kind of extended cut of it. If that makes sense. I'm an old school raver so I understand. I live for remixes.

By clips of course. But I loving the extra footage like the reveal that Tom allegedly lied he and A were in an open relationship to get at Raquel.

I really want her to do both tbh. BUT I feel this is one of those cases where while the actress might be okay with a recast and gives the blessings, fans would still not be okay with it.

Now that is some interesting tea right there re: Olivia in the 50th anniversary episodes. And now with Nate mixing it up more with the Newmans, it would be nice to have her back. Goodness knows Nate will need her. But...I understand.

I was wondering so thank you. Wow at everybody's words and pictures and videos. I should be sleep, but I admit...Tina is on my mind. Even had a good cry.

I loved seeing that on Twitter. And all the unaired footage that is d&mning Sandy even more than he was already. Cuz he really told Raquel THAT at Cocahella? Oooo...and we didn't see that in the ACTUAL boardcast so you know people are even MORE heated at him right now.

Well going by spoilers it probably will get Shick to sleep together anew. That said...I'm just now starting the beginning of Sharon's tale in my binging and I immediately...like any time RH's Liz on GH gets a tale all her own...took notice. And since teasers have been all about something coming back from Sharon's past...THIS was the first name that came to mind. So happy to be right, but wasn't he killed or just shipped off to jail? That background music was EVERYTHING. THAT how you do a sinister entrance of someone old.

THAT was good. And only Part 1. Can't wait for someone to drop the additional scenes once it drops on Peacock. Rewatching now.

Coming off a weird, but good week...and an unexpected good night...I saw the news about Tina Turner and was just shocked and teary-eyed, another part of my childhood gone. A new friend of mine has been trying to start a drag show revue in our downtown area so I went to the first one in its new venue Friday night. And one of the drag queens...wig, sparkles, legs, and all...did Tina proud with her version of PROUD MARY. And I was fascinated with how she never broke performance even as she collected tips. I loved Tina. And she was such a survivor. With that voice and the fact that she persisted so well and so beautiful...and those legs. For me, when I think of her...as a kid...I always go back to this song. Signs of my dystopian/scifi/fantasy self showing so early...but I couldn't take my eyes off her and wondered who she was. Perhaps it spoke to my wanderlust and seeing if there was life on the horizon for me. RIP you angel.

YW. My friend has not warmed to it (yet), but it's been an earworm in my head (along with all the new Goldfrapp music like SO HARD SO HOT) since it dropped. I need to get around to seeing he live performance of it on AMERICAN IDOL.

TONIGHT!!!! And the sneak peeks are already juicy. There's even one where it sounds like Lala came for LVP.

See? Now I haven't even started the current season yet and that looks good. Even more juicy? Canada got a DIFFERENT trailer... which is even juicer. I thought it was finally confirmed that NJ IS on pause. Which given this trailer, I can see why. The rumor about THAT is that they hope that Teresa is going to back down so they can keep Joesphine and MeLissa. But I don't think Teresa is backing down this time. It sounds like from reading all of you all's posts that this season is giving final showdown between Teresa and Melissa. And now it's either Teresa...who IS the show...or Melissa. And Andy actually has to be objective. FOR ONCE.

Hehe. See? You remember the exact scene, too. It's just the fact that they took THAT long. It barely got a simmer. So perhaps it has been a good thing to delay Portia as a Sprina spoiler. Because NOW she has even more reason to not want that match-up.

I believe it. Though I was STILL shocked. I know a LOT of people said they wanted to watch the episode that either don't watch the show at all or people that fell off ages ago. But I didn't realize that many would. And there are some people that thought it would be HIGHER. But again...cheating is a universal theme so I can see why everyone tuned in. I even jumped seasons. lol.

Yeah, there was so much going on online (and yes @Cheap21 I agree with Candiace and loved that Andy read her tweets directly to Ariana last night on WWHL) that I stopped my Season 9 binging and went right to last night. Perhaps it's personal (and too recent) experience for me, but that episode was really well done and triggering all at the same time. For all our talk about how manufactured a lot of reality shows have become...once in a while, the shows still hit on something real...and THIS was one of those times. We either have been cheated on or in some cases cheated (or someone who did) so it was such a universal theme (and why those ratings almost hit 2 million) that it just felt raw, real, and not fake...outside of Sandoval's fake crying. God, I felt all of Ariana's pain. And she dragged the heck out of him, too. I had no idea that she did get around to freezing some eggs. Given I knew her stance on kids, THAT right there let me know she was willing to and that hurt even more. Because her stance was a HARD one. It reminded me of how I loathed kids in my 20s a la Samantha Jones and now I feel so different about them. Seeing Kristen...hehe Beyonce. That said...WOW. That flashback took me back because SHE DID SAY ALL THAT THEN. And I saw that LIVE. Just chills. And Schana. Wow. Nothing but truth from her. And while Scheana can be self absorbed to make it about her and always has been like that...she is STILL a better friend than most. Even Katie got some good words in. So Sandoval can aplogize and fake cry to EVERYONE, but the person he should? TRASH. And I wonder now if that familiar person he cheated with WAS Billie Lee. Looking forward to the reunion and Ariana dragged the whole lot.
