When working out works AGAINST you. Or as Nene Leakes would say...NEVERLAND. Speaking of Alex...yeeeeah, watching the scenes. I would say it was too soon to bring RSW back. I miss the days on this show especially when if you were going to do a recast, you let there be some time between actors/actresses and I remember DAYS being especially good at that back in the 90s. Actor gone, so build up the other characters/stories and bring them back at just the right time of dramatic tension.

THANK YOU!!! ALL OF THIS!!! I've been saying for a while that I don't like that Finn's family...which has had adequate show time over the last few years...have not only started to hog screen time that is coming across VERY forced, but has taken Elizabeth's storyline hostage. It had been paced soooooooo well for the most part and now that we got to a turn/climax of sorts...she...VANISHES. And it's all about FINN'S pain. In HER story. And Gregory can have seats. He's a circle in a square peg for Alexis where Harmony was so it's just meh. And again...forced. It honestly feels like they are sabotaging Elizabeth's story. Then again...playing catchup right now, I do wonder if the reason they are stalling her story is because of that Blind Item in the Spoiler section of this board. It is the only reason that would make sense. If so...yeeeeah, I'm with you...RECAST. There are plenty of soap vets out there and available.

7-22 Now why did Victoria even let him in? RMY. That said...I didn't mind the week so much. I think the only thing that bugged me was Chelesa. And I hate to admit it, but I'm intrigued by a friendship between Chloe and Sally. Speaking of Sally, I felt that old underdog B&B vibe from her and I wish they would lean into that more for her versus weak henchwoman to Adam. I like she sees through his act. But I wish she would think of something to really put the screws to him. Phyllis/Nikki/Ashley against Diane. I just feel that is going to blow up in their faces. I do love that Ashley is on Phyllis's side for a change and told Jack that much. I was as shocked as he was. I'm sorry, but I'm liking Noah and Allie. I do think it has been nicely paced. That said...it is time for a dash of drama. But what could it be? Hmmm. Where's Imani? lol.

7-19 Brando. TJ (ESPECIALLY!!! hehe). Cody. Dante (woof!). Someone is trying to get all the sauna time in as they can! I'm not complaining! lol. Playing catch-up. The trial for Trina is off to a slow start and I want to shake Joss. I've been enjoying seeing the Rory/Trina/Spencer triangle develop. And I'm happy for that because now that Spencer saw Rory and Trina kiss, he's finally started to be more pro-active like how he was when he came back to town rather than a wounded puppy. Watching him vs Esme and I'm thinking FINALLY!!! When he was Ava's stalker, he was more cunning. And it's about time the writers remembered that as he presses Esme. Nina as owner of Metro Court. I bet Carly is PO. Sad Laura is gone. But...perfect time for the House of Cassandine to fall apart. Yeeeah not feeling Britt/Cody. Too forced for me. And I still feel that the writers are going to tie Cody into a legacy family.

Hit her again, Li! Hit her for me! D'ah!! DISCUSS!!!

Yeah...what a waste. DISCUSS!!!

Damn.

Finished listening to the album during my workout yesterday. FAVES HEATED (especially this one) ALL IN MY MIND (such a switch-up from the songs before it) THIQUE (prime twerk music and my booty is ready ) ALIEN SUPERSTAR COZY (dark loungey...what a surprise) MOVE SUMMER RENAISSANCE NOT FEELING CUFF IT PLASTIC OFF THE SOFA VIRGO'S GROOVE The rest was good and the transitions are so flawlessly good you don't even realize you are onto the next song. Reminds me of Madonna's CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR in that regards.

You should have been on point in this thread.

OOoooooooooooooooo

RHOA I don't know how I feel about that. On one hand, it was a good episode with what was seen. Emphasis on WHAT WAS SEEN. Per the trailer as well as Kandi's latest SPEAK ON IT, Production has been at it again. They edited down Marlo vs Kenya in the driveway because allegedly Marlo went VERY low and brought up Brooklyn...which puts a whole new spin on what was seen...which was hilarious since Production was going NOWHERE WITHOUT THEIR STAR KENYA!!! They edited down Drew vs Fatum which we saw in the trailer for this season since we know Drew went all out and was dragged out a la last season's finale for getting dramatic with MORE THAN ONE dog bone. And also this episode was the last one we will be seeing of Fatum in group scenes until the finale allegedly. How to feel about all that. On one hand, it all sounds juicy. And I for one was looking forward to Drew and the dog boneS. So that was disappointing. But given what Fatum did BTS, I can see why she won't be around and at least she owned it. Rookie mistake. A fatal one. On the other hand, we just got rid of Porsha because Production covered up what she was doing so she could be the favorite. And now here we go again with Marlo. But perhaps Kenya stepped in because she did not want Brooklyn to grow up and see that scene unedited in reruns. Again...Marlo continues to prove she herself is a liability. ( (c) Erika Jayne). Her first cast trip and she let her jealousy of Kenya get the best of her. And putting the other girls in the middle. Uhhhh...no. Okay...NOT Sanya. Sanya...who gassed her up in the first place by betraying Kenya's trust. 'Good' work, Bone Carrier, Jr. RME. I do wonder if it was Marlo acting and ending the trip. Or the BTS story of how one of the crew had CoVid so most of the girls also got CoVid which ended the trip. Oops. Production again. Le sigh. KENYA. As far as I'm concerned, she did nothing wrong, but exist. There she was (along with Kandi) helping Sheree with ShebySheree. There she was expressing her feelings with Sanya. There she was ki-ki-ing with Drew. She was FUN. And Marlo just HATED THAT. That and the fact that Production WAS NOT LEAVING THE HOUSE WITHOUT HER. They know what was up. And I loved Kenya gathering Marlo. I also loved her dealing with that Trumper. Just ugh. She's been pretty good this season. KANDI. I liked her helping Sheree. I also loved her Greek chorus with Monyetta. They just wanted to have fun and there was nothing, but chaos around them. lol. SHEREE. I liked what Kenya and Kandi were trying to do for her. It's totally true what Kandi said. How long have we heard about joggers? ShebySheree? At this point, the demand for them are there and HIGH. Sheree could make a killing if she put in the work. And it speaks volumes last week when Kenya and Kandi talked business versus Kandi and Kenya and Sheree. She is still so green. She should take their advice. Other than that, she was funny this week. DREW. So let down by not being able to see the whole scene of her vs Fatum. But what we got was good. But it was from her playbook last season when she was going after Latoya with the rehearsed attacks and dog boneS. SANYA. Yeeeah over her. She was the one to gas Marlo up. And I loved that Kenya dismissed her after that. She ain't stupid. And she gathered her fast when she threw how she was treating Drew in her face, but what Marlo was doing was okay? Yes, Kenya see you. MARLO. Is exhausting. I know I keep saying Sanya gassed her up, but she made it so easy with her clear jealousy of Kenya. This week she made a miscalculation by thinking now that she got a peach that she could run things. She is definitely making the girls work true, but to be clear...she IS NOT the star. Kenya debatably has been keeping things running for years. Production knows this. There is a reason why when she was gone in Season 11 she was cameoed in again. She makes them happen...sometimes organically, sometimes not...but usually with some fun shade to her. And better than Marlo can sometimes. She need to focus on those boys. And then her attempt to get sympathy. A little too late. Again, from what was shown, it was a good episode. I just wished they had mentioned it all...so to speak.

I know you do. But then again...you have taste.

Cute chest. YES, PLEASE. LOL at @Faulkner and @AbcNbc247 cuz I also looked at the German and thought that's @Soapsuds as well.

Well in honor of all that new Beyonce music tomorrow...GET IT, KENYA!!!

That should be a gif. 😜 BUT worth the wait. Just watched. lol.

HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!! I saw that post last week about it's now a yearly thang. Prison has definitely gotten crazy in Salem.

Same. I want to say the direction of the scene probably didn't help either. lol. But I could see Greta doing that...moreso given what you said as far as what John/Marlena was going through with Brady. She might have thought it best, worrying that since Brady was making Marlena's life h#ll that Marlena might resent her presence too. I'm sure Marlena would not have, but Greta would be that selfless anyway. And thank you to you and Joseph. I remember Greta and Austin, but I couldn't remember for sure if Greta and Eric was going on, too. It's been so long. So yay!!! She could totally come back and still mix it up with people on canvas like Nicole. The history is there.

That was actually good!!! And yay Li!!!

Like mother, like daughter.

Yaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As for the dvds...meh. lol. There are just some scenes (and I can say that for DAWSON'S CREEK as well though I like that in recent years, some streaming has attempted to restore some of the music) that I remember watching live or VHS and I have that music in my head and those memories so nothing else will do. Music resonates. lol. I am happy they were able to keep their music acts though. Yes! Please do keep posting. lol at Donna's hair.

Ah!!! I see. Niiiice.

THAT is how I always thought JM played it in her last scene, and I've always held onto it. Perhaps she just wanted to spare him some pain while allowing herself to process her feelings over it all. But I don't remember what would be going on with John and Marlena to believe that. But yes, I would love to see Greta again. And Nicole COULD use a rival again with some history behind such a rivalry.

Well, now that she is a food product guru a la Gwenyth I guess I can see why. I would have liked to see RINGER Season 2 myself, but alas...

Yeah, what was on-screen was a waste of Tony Todd. I want to say Sawyer because I was watching most of Hood's Kyle...who I was the few who liked him as well...lol. Then again, that might have been him, but I think I'm thinking of Summer trying to seduce him. See? So much potential when there could have been so many offsprings of Ashland.

Lord have mercy. Grrr...still waiting. lol.
