KIRBY LIVES!!!!

5-4 Wow what a ride! I really can't believe that Harmony is gone. All the possibilities that the writers were setting up. That said...her unraveling has been fun to watch. My only disappointment is that NLG couldn't be around for it, but I really love the temp and she really does a good job embodying Alexis to me. But anything that involves Alexis and Carly teaming up is not going to be boring. And now Carly has a secret over Nina. Again. Lord. But I have to admit it continues to surprise me how much mileage the writers are getting out Carly/Sonny/Nina. What appeared to have peaked when Carly walked in on Sonny/Nina, has continued the slow burn approach (at least for me) that they were using on Sonny/Nina in Nixon Falls. And the more debilerated the pace, the more the stakes are raised. Now we have Michael and Sonny falling out. We have Dante being in the middle. We now have a fight over Wiley. AND of course...Carly about who Willow is now. While the triangle is slow (and I liked the slow build to Nina and Sonny and if they can handle the other now that they are not in Nixon Falls and that dance they did). I am curious to see if Harmony's death will damage the friendship among Willow and Sasha. I continue to LIVE for every time Laura needles Esme on what she's doing. But I do feel she's too late as she already has her claws into Nikolas. With all these other stories building, I think now is the time for the reveal on Liz. Speaking of which I am sad that the teens have vanished again. I am happy to see Mac and Felicia are getting another story. And I am curious to see where they are going with Spinelli. I am sure that I've said that I like that Austin and Maxie are together because that keeps Austin from any of the characters I like having to prop him (sorry, Max), but I liked the scene they had a few days ago about money, life goals, etc. They were finally written with something of substance and Maxie reflecting on how far she's come was refreshing. It resonated a little with what's going on with me. So bonus. Any day where I can see Brooklyn and Chase together is a good day.

5-10 OMG! At the turnaround. Friday cliffhangers aside, all the Sheila/Steffy/Finn stuff has been nicely paced (outside of trying to restart the Hope/Liam/Steffy triangle...ewww no). But Steffy remembering...oooooo JMW has really and truly been acting her a$% off and I've been loving it. And it goes without saying that THIS TIME, Steffy played it smart and had backup. Cuz...SHEILA. And so far...I like that yep Sheila is trying to wiggle her way out of this confrontation with Steffy. Meanwhile I love that as the main story is climaxing, the writers wisely started another story. Donna back with her Honey Bear. Who would have thought? I guess it shouldn't be surprising given Eric's own history and she has been pinning for a while. But...while Quinn is one to talk...you just know someone is going to get slapped. Or perhaps that will lead Quinn back to Carter. And NOW Paris wants to get insecure. Ooooo the possibilities.

5-11 'Welcome back, B@itch.' Darn Ashley...tell us what you really think. Lol. Diane's return continues to be THE storyline. I actually caught myself FFing through Billy/Victoria and only some of Nikki/Victor to get to it. Cuz that family vs Diane was delicious. I thought they all gave as good as they got. And then...enter Allie. Meanwhile...well...I saw a bit of spark between JM and SW in their scene. But I find it well to see SW around him given it was Maura who was with him. But tbf, I find it weird period sometimes with Victor and Nikki (only sometimes though) just due to my memories of AD. And SW just plays haunted oh so well. And then there would be brief moments when old Diane comes out. I do find myself wondering though if it is possible that her and Allie could be cahoots. And it continues to be a shame that Keemo isn't there in the flesh. So that was the Billy podcast. Meh. I'm not sure how I feel about the Rey stuff now. While it feels like an afterthought, I can't say that Sharon is not working miracles with her work. And ooooo at the mention of Crystal. I had forgotten about her. Potential conflict for Mariah and Tessa? Did the Ashland story just vanish? And I just cannot get into Nate not being a doctor. Can we throw Imani at him though?

I believe it. Everyone (especially JMW) are acting their butts off. And it's a perfect storm in how much they paced it just well enough with cliffhangers every Friday AND started a juicy B story (Honey Bear and Donna together again...what will Quinn's reaction be?) as that is climaxing at the same time.

BH I gotta give credit where credit is due...Ex Soap Opera Star brought it...easily my favorite. EriFake...easily my least favorite. She tried...and fell flat. Love the tongue in cheek-ness of Garcelle and Sutton. And I expect BETTER from the 'new villain...who is here.'

Shady Phae Phae??? OC Well...I guess it's in the air then...

Hehe...the guy and blonde are from the show MDL Los Angeles. That said...LOVE that picture.

@Faulkner and @NothinButAttitude, I'm not going to see it until later. Do tell me Sheree is not out of practice on dragging heffas and got Drew good?

LOVE.

RHOM Looking like that rumor is true @Cat ‘RHOM’ star Lisa Hochstein, Lenny Hochstein spark breakup rumors (pagesix.com)

THIS.

AMEN.

Heeeey Cutter!!!!!!!!! But as who...? Jealous. But yep...he does. And he is. lol.

I agree with that. I do wonder could it be because Mal Young gave her character those Kristenque edges by the Abbott Blood Clause arc if that has been how Eileen going forward has played. Still very layered, but definitely not how she used to play Ashley versus how Eileen does Kirsten. I see what you mean, but I just cannot take my eyes off her when I see her on screen.

Hahaha! I still haven't watched outside of clips, but was it because they got a spinoff? I had always heard someone dropped a bombshell on her at the Season 1 reunion. Well...she did get beat up during Season 3 filming. The question is...will they show it?

I know I don't say this enough @YRfan23, but thank you.

RHOM Another good episode. Pajama parties. Fashion. (Guerdy, Julia, KiKi with her Black Swanque dress when they entered Lisa's penthouse!!!) And there was such juicy drama between Guerdy hoping off on telling Alexia that the venue fell through. They built that up through the episode nicely. And then at the pajama party the Julia/Adriana relationship got a little messy with Lisa playing games. Finally we had Nicole meeting with her dad and immediately seeing he is drunk. I loved how it was all paced and I cannot wait for next week in the Hamptons and we get to Larsa bringing some drama. ALEXIA. I've been so busy that I forgot that I DIDN'T post about Episode 5. I guess work drama really has kept me busy. lol. But I loved the sincere, but still messy drama of Todd vs Peter. I thought his heart was in the right place. However...his delivery...was how I know people take how I talk. HAHAHAHA!!! I prefer straight forwardness though I have finally learned some tact. It was intense and Frankie WAS RIGHT THERE. And I admit that I liked Todd told Alexia how it is...she DOES enable Peter. That she got defensive...well a hit dog will holler. I was happy to see they all made up at the end, but I feel like that will come up again. This episode...I hollered at Alexia turned about sitting on faces with Frankie RIGHT THERE. Overall, she was light in this episode other than the wedding drama. LISA. Messy, messy Lisa. hehe. And God bless her. I hope the rumor that surfaced aren't about her though since I liked Lisa and Lenny during the old days. For now, seeing her spend money for a pajama party. And be game for flirting Julia (and Julia flirting) was a hoot. And oh, the looks Adriana was giving. Girl, why you jealous? *stares* JULIA. It was nice to see more of her. And...I get it. Her light headed personality and openess, that is just her. And even if she is not flirting, it COMES across that way. Such a Gemini thing. lol. But I cannot help, but love her spirit. And goodness know she was good humored and game to play along with Lisa. ADRIANA. I liked that she explained why she is close to Julia. Awwww at her being lonely. BUT...why you jealous? GUERDY. OOOoooo at her not telling Alexia immediately that the venue fell through. It gave the episode a nice plot, and it is relateable. I'm not sure that the news couldn't have waited until after the pajama party though. That should have been a night to have fun. And THEN go back to reality. But alas... NICOLE. Look at Nicole being able to fly off to a restaurant in the world whenever she wanted for a double date with Martina and Julia. #richhunni That her man is the pilot is a bonus. But when her dad said 'how do you know it's only four?' Lord, I gasped. Messy, messy. LARSA. Not much here though I liked seeing more about her daughter. And it looks like she will be in the mess next week. And I'm ready. Good episode. BH Potential Taglines...?

Now hold up now! I missed most of what happened the other day, but let's not be banning the good ones now. We all have occasionally dust-offs with people we have history (coming soon to the GH May thread...jk...kinda). I would like to think we can move forward (and do better if possible) and discussed the awesomeness of Ashley. ETA: Saw above post. I mind my business.

5-4 *gasps* I guess I was not pay attention for a second. And looked up and actually gasped. Donna got Eric back? Since when? Already looking forward to the Quinn/Donna catfight. And does that mean the show will go in a Paris/Carter/Quinn/Eric/Donna quintet? I'm confused. in a good way. lol.

Hahaha!!! It sure did!!! I started doing the monthly thread (when I was not a regular viewer at the times) just because of how funny it was no one did. Perhaps the twist (speculating) has to do with Bridget. Since the current rumor is that she will be involve in story come next month/end of this month. Dare I continue to hope that just as Liam/Steffy give it another go that it is revealed that Bridget and Li somehow saved Finn and no one knows?

Thank you for this. I admit that I've begun to wonder if that was okay in the case of promos since now that I'm regularly watching all the soaps (yes, even DAYS though it's the only one I'm reeeeeeally behind on) I...outside of the Sweeps spoilers...have started to avoid the massive spoiler threads in this section because I don't want to be tooo spoiled on what's coming, but I don't mind a promo and definitely like seeing others' opinion on it.

BH GET IT, CRYSTAL!!! And then...she got a picture afterwards. Jealous.

Yeah, they were. They even had cast pictures and everything. One of the newbies was a dead ringer for OC Vicki, too if I remember correctly. Then CoVid hit. And like most people, Gina's point of view changed and she bowed out.

If only they would give them a story...
