Taoboi

I think he has a bit with MO, but I agree that he had tons with Emme.

Thank you for remind me...Joss IS NOT AT ALL coming across well. And sadly...I don't feel they could stretch that long for February. Tbf, the youth set had their troublemaker in Esme...a bonus since Spencer also came back as a troublemaker. Not that I'm not coming around to her finally getting into other storylines, but I've said several times in the various threads that she should have stayed in Cameron/Joss orbit because once things were done in the Sprina orbit, it was an organic place to go since Esme was already playing Cameron while sassing Joss.

Yay!!! Good for her!

And hairy in all the right places, too. Those first two pictures he favors Patrick from KANDI AND THE GANG. I have NO problem with that. And I just got out of the shower, too aka MINE.

And well deserved. GO 'HEAD, MS. BASSETT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmmmm...reminds me that I've overdue a HEREDITARY rewatch. I like his movies.

1-6 Worth the wait. Awwww Danny and Cricket. And those flashbacks...especially the fire that came out of LLB in that one flashback...were great. We know I live for all Jack vs Ashley scenes so while it was jarring to see that abrupt transition to the next day without Ashley letting Jack have it for kissing Diane, it was great to see ED just let loose. Though I thought it was a missed opportunity for Jack to not throw Ashley being an exile under Mal Young in her face. Speaking of missed opportunity...so we didn't even get to see Billy and Lily's therapy session. So tell, don't show indeed. smh. If that isn't stilted writing, I don't know what is. I cheered to see Devon was smart enough to see that Tucker might be trying to manipulated him and now might have a clue about Audra working for Tucker. And speaking of Devon...I cannot believe Abby/Devon is happening. Especially since I just read one of BJ's interviews and he mentioned that they were supposed to happen when ER was playing Abby, but direction changed. While it makes sense, I would think Abby would try to fight for Chance more. Oh, well. I am already over this WTD story. I'm not over Josh Morrow taking off that jacket though. And yes to Kyle and Summer finally having some drama and arguing how we argue over here over their mothers.

1-6 LI!!!!! FINALLY!!! I was worried that she was just there to talk to Finn, so I was soooooooooooo happy to see she mixed it up with Sheila!!! Can we keep this rivalry going and plllllease give us a Round 2? I thought it was good that they are continuing to keep Katie in Bill's orbit for that Carter/Katie/Bill mess. But with Sheila as a loose cannon around...it could dangerous for Katie, but I wouldn't mind seeing HT give a show. It goes without saying that Finn has been looking good. Also surprising...JMW and DD STILL got chemistry. lol. It was so funny watching Steffy trying to get through to Bill and thinking of their history. But JMW has been awesome to watch since the Bill/Sheila reveal.

Agree. And it's been set up so beautifully too. You have the Portia/Curtis wedding around the 15th of this month per their invites. This Valentin/Sonny deal about to happen. And then Anna/Laura vs Victor approaching climax. Since it has totally turned into the C plot after two months of being the main plot, I can only speculate it is back on the backburner again until end of this month leading into February so the writers can focus on Portia/Curtis and Michael vs Sonny. Even the Hook storyline is hovering above being the B plot and it is only because they are allowing Joss's part in Britt's death section of that plot to breathe a bit before a reveal. But those 4 main/potential main plots (wedding, shady deal, Hook story, good vs evil)...not even including the 500 subplots within each one...are perfectly being positioned to be fired off. They just have to pull the trigger between now and March.

Oh, how I hollered at work earlier as well.

EAST NEW YORK Season 1

Though I'm still in the middle of my Season 1 binge...

February 8. Annnnd GARCELLE.

Haha. Hush. I don't know. I feel like at some point the cops or just Dante are going to want to know who the other person that was there with Britt was. And THEN it is going to blow up in Joss's face. That it ties into Dante vs Sonny, Michael's plot to use Dex to bring down Sonny, and Joss/Dex is just a bonus, a typical soap convergence of plot. Which might be possible since it is usually in the January to February Sweeps period where that someone *cough*Frank*cough* does let the writers get soapy. Briefly of course.

Oh, I love me sum Mike Ruiz let me tell you. lol. I agree about Dallas...they were so willing to show EVERYTHING. IDK about that. Ironically assuming that one person who allegedly might have filmed one week but was iced out by 3 gay coworkers due to his OF page is about THIS show, what about that show that is all(or mostly) gay and gay PORN STARS at that? Do we know if that aired yet or even if it did well?

LOL I love him. I know I was surprised to hear that Coach Shah made enough that she didn't even need to do NONE of it. And WOW at her delusion that she is not fired when like Mary she did not do the reunion. I could see Garcelle doing that, too. Especially now that she knows Bravo has an HR department per the reunion. Agree. Same.

Yeeeah THAT I thought they did a great job with. And Scotty did need some loving at the time. lol. Every soap needs that older scheme team (if need be) couple that can be dropped into any part of the canvas. Scotty has that in spades with his connection to the old while like her or hate her, Dr. O has (had?) that with the current canvas.

Nah! lol. I wouldn't have mind her coming and going a la DAYS Kristen, but I haven't mind her around as much as everyone else. But the actress had me at Frame 1 and we know I loved her with the diva hat toss when she hit town during the 50th anniversary. But...anything to keep Scotty around for me.

SLC

It crossed my mind yesterday that might be why Ex Soap Opera Star is getting that 'we parted ways' explanation. It seems online a lot of people are wondering this as well.

Same.

See I can't say that about Harry Hamlin with how his acting profile has increased over the last few years...and stands to increase even more when ANNE RICE'S MAYFAIR WITCHES series starts this coming Sunday. And he has been giving interviews if I'm not mistaken.

THIS.

But the A-List was fun!!! lol. Though I agree the Dallas branch had so much potential. Though for all of them to be so focused on ONE guy? Really?

1-5 WOW. I can't believe they killed her!!!! Just...wow. That said...the countdown to the catfight between Dr. O and Heather has started. And look at her already about to try to kill Esme. So...is Heather the Hook for real, or is this just ANOTHER red herring? Because there were several lines of dialogue over the last few episodes where there's enough wiggle room to say that Heather only did that as a distraction and the REAL Hook is still out there. If so YAAY!!! Cuz it being Heather would just be...anticlimatic to me. I enjoyed every moment of the Sprina team-up. It was such a nice slow burn. That said...it IS glaring to see them so close...though I would probably pick on them getting a kiss in light of too soon after Rory's death...to not even get a kiss while we have Dex and Joss going all the way after what? Only a few months of flirting and closeness. It says A LOT about Joss's character as well as Trina's character to me. At least, Joss did the right thing and told Cameron. Still...I cannot wait for him to find out she already slept with Dex. In any case, OF COURSE, Esme pops up around Sprina. Ugh. What is this with Dante? Are they about to FINALLY give him a story? I thought it was odd a few weeks back that Dante had been discussing father/son relationships for a while. And then there's that subplot about what he and Cody are hiding from their past waiting in the wings. But now that Dante is actively starting to think he will have to go after Sonny...along with Michael's plot to get Sonny...I think that's converging for sure. But I'm intrigued at the Dante angle and how they are slooowwwly developing it so it does not seem abrupt. I guess it says something about AP's skills that I don't know if Esme is faking or not. I'm sure she is, but I will be shocked if she is not. And Liz STILL got roped into the storyline. lol. I liked how Esme's escape and discovery has so many tentacles in so many stories. But I already wonder what they are going to do with her. Would they send her Cameron's way after all this time to up the rivalry between her and Liz for example...maybe payback for Liz helping Nikolas? Speaking of...is it me or are a lot of these scenes with Nikolas over the last week and a half have an air of finality to them? As if the writers already knew what they were planning to do?
