Racism and racial representation on soaps
I remember Juliet. I loved her and she had so much potential especially if she had been still alive once Sam was born. Lane spoiler. Custody fight. Hillary's friend feeling like pariahs in town. Juliet using her skills in work...or getting close to Billy for example. That's just off the top of my head. Then you have Ravi with his relationship with Ashley which could have left to class drama. And if not staying with Ashley, he could have been spun off into the Mariah age group. And DG can shut up. SSM was the best thing that happened to Cane. He was great as Brad Jr. THIS.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: March 2021 Episode Count
Hopefully the next time Peter gets that many episodes is for his exit storyline. I admit I am surprised that Sonny has been around so little. But I guess that reveals how useful the character is at the moment.

Hehe. The first season of NJ I saw was 6. That's what I'm afraid of. re: Countess. lol.

CW: Superman & Lois
First of all...ELLIE FROM DEGRASSI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. Second of all...I am up to Episode 5 and I'm surprised at how much I love it so far. Then again...one of the co EP is the showrunner for THE ORIGINALS and those first 3 seasons were awesome.

Well speaking of rumors that rumor was discussed in another post months ago. And then not discussed again. Easy to find for the curious. And now that it's confirmed on casting...well...he looks like he could be a good EJ. Never watched Spectraus.

Primetime shows that were cancelled too soon
Wow. It always seem to do decent from what I heard. I am shocked. EXACTLY!!!! And didn't they run at the same time? I agree that it was sad that it did not get a lot of push.

@Cat sometimes I think I'm scared to rewatch the old seasons of NY cuz of the Countess. I love LuAnn so much I think it will be jarring to see her in her Countess persona. As for NJ...their past reunions look juicy enough that I would. And they have enough history in scenes of seasons I've watched that I'm curious enough to go back. We'll see. And yes...I expect better of Marlo.

Wait? Unreal got cancelled? And totally agree on L.A. Complex. So much potential and a different (IMHO) black gay couple.

Law & Order: SVU - Discussion Thread
I admit...during the lockdown portion of the pandemic, I did develop a like for SUV (and Stabler hehe) so I can't believe that I missed it!!! Good on the ratings.

Now CW might be playing mild now, but from the reveal of Nelle being her daughter to her leaving town, CW has been playing Nina as if she would snap at any moment...and the fact that the writers played out those beats was apparent as well. Perhaps they were just writing it like Nina would just leave town, leading her to Sonny, but it was definitely there.

NJ First, that midseason trailer hints at cracks in the Mean Girls Club and I'm all for it. Melissa needs some drama since things with Michelle appear to be over. Meanwhile, Marge needs to be called out. If you are going to stir the pot, be ready to have it come back to you. Or better yet own it. This episode was good. Perhaps a sign of how Jersey people are. Ready to rumble at one point, and then laughing it up and then back again. It definitely was not boring. However, Jackie is a weak trick. Teresa might have been messy, but Jackie was just all talk and little digs. And when Teresa came...she sat there and cried. And then she wanted to have a meltdown on her minions Marge and Melissa. Whatever ho. Thankfully, she was smart enough to see that Teresa putting out her THIRD olive branch that she was lucky to get was a way to build a bridge so they can walk over it. Because she needed to face it. Teresa is the Queen and ain't going NOWHERE. Bow down, or bow OUT. Good choice, Jackie. THINGS I LOVED: JOE/MELISSA VS TERESA. I believe I've said many times that I never watched the first 5 seasons. I've seen clips and the odd episode here and there. But like RHONY (which I promise I will get around to) I was not around and watching then. I only know of the family dynamic from where I started and what has been said here. So I definitely know there was no love lost between Joe and Joe. So it is always explosive when Joe gets bothered by how close Teresa and Joe appear to still be. Sadly, they will always be due to their kids. And they have a pretty cool co-parenting thing going on. Joe and Melissa are going to have to deal eventually. Until then, it was nice to see this kind of explosion. Speaking of... MARGE VS JACKIE. See? Since Regina George couldn't take on the real Queen, she had to take on a minion. Perhaps it was the fact that Jackie sensed that Marge has been talking behind her back. But watching that meltdown was great. GIRL, BYE!!! I'm sorry. I'm not liking Marge. It should be clear that she was probably the person who started this whole Evan rumor. She didn't seem surprised when Teresa mentioned it. And she seem a little TOO angry. As if she was guilty. And NO, you said that story about the boss in an intimate moment. But intimate...as a bit of a joke on the OTHER cast trip. Nice try. And just like Brandi over on DALLAS, it appears that she's about to try to deflect (or get revenge) by attacking Jennifer. Nice try...Jennifer's ready for you. Bring it on. She'll leave you dust. JENNIFER. IS LOVE. Smart enough to not get in the middle of Joe/Melissa vs Teresa. And ballsy enough to take Marge now. Team Jennifer. EVAN. Suuure does have a nice chest. THINGS I HATED JACKIE. All that unnecessary crying. Not so tough huh? TERESA. While I thought she handled all of it well. I do not feel that she needed to give such a public apology to Evan. Sorry. It screamed 'Jackie wants to try to humiliate Teresa' written all over it. I liked how unbothered she was. And definitely something she's not used to. Oh, well. Even sucky people get to win a round from time to time. Like the midseason trailer. They are. One of the best moments last year was the roasting that the L.A. City Council got during BLM for how people were mistreated by police. And that was a Zoom. RHOA It appeared that Bravo has taken out the Falynn vs Latoya episode offline due to Kenya's head dress. It is still on my system so hopefully it stays on. She apologized. So did Bravo. Go pick on someone who deserves to be attack like Erika Jayne. Meanwhile...That one reunion picture was meh. Now that more pictures have popped off. FAVORITES: Cynthia, Kenya, Porsha (that one picture with the sleeved arm in the forefront is perfection), Latoya (it dazzles), and Shamea. I LIKE: Kandi, Drew MEH: MARLO (shocking). I will probably check my mind once I see them move.

GH March 2021 Discussion
Hahahaha I wasn't watching, but I heard they toyed with Aiden...did that story ever get an kind of resolution? Just two? Sounds like they need to get Brad back to fight for his man and be with his BFF Britt when her illness overtakes her. You. Me. Peter. SAME. Yeah. I loved everything about Britt sneaking in to see Jason and Jason and his 'harem' of women visiting him in jail. Unintended humor, but humor all the same. She really and truly does shoot herself in the foot. I admit that I liked how the writers at least had Nina attempt to do the right thing before she goes Annie on people but still...Carly really has not changed has she?

GH March 2021 Discussion
3-26 It's been 20 years and Carly still shoots herself in the foot. She could have found out Sonny was alive if she had just STFU. And Nina spoke nothing but truth. She made her bed. Ooooo...Jason seeing Britt's hand shaking and touching it...and SAM walks in. Oops. Over Peter running around like a manic luncatic...not a cool loon like his father either. Good to see Taggert is back. I am so weirded out that I didn't at all care for Brando and all it took was a haircut, a beard, and a shirtless scene with some chemistry with Sasha to get my interest. lol. I loved that the writers linked BrookLynn and Lucas (with some Maxie in there)...I had completely forgotten they knew each other. The history. Not helped with recasts, but I'll take it. But I am not sure how I feel about Felix and Lucas inching closer together. Could it happen?

RHOD Thiis bittttca!!!!!! But first...let me just said everyone (but that chuckyhead)'s TH was really on point. And Stephanie would look great with a gothic look. And even Kary looked like a Boss B in that white suit. Niiice. That said...Team LeeAndra. Brandi must have watched the BH reunion and thought she could use the gaslighting manuver that Ex Soap Star tried to use on Denise Richards. No, trick!! No!!! Kudos to LeeAndra seeing what was going on and breaking that fourth wall to the producers and venting off about that. She probably even had flashbacks of how everyone ganged up on LeeAnne as she went off. As someone who glanced at the article in question, I know it was not even about LeeAndra trying to trash Brandi as the article was simply asking if they would sweep what she did under the rug. Nothing more. Nothing less. Other than that, I thought it was a good episode. Mildly dull at times, but good. I really wished they had not taken the week off. It has killed the momentum. And now the only arc I see...and it's not even really an arc...is pathetic Brandi making herself look worse and worse in her pathetic attempts to stay relevant as a Candiace Lite. Now unless LeeAndra exposes her soon or she has a really bad comuppance on scene this is a waste of time. TIFFANY. I loved her scenes with her mother and Mama Dee. Two different mothers. Two different prespective. After playing it cool the last time she showed up, confusing Tiffany, Tiffany's mother seem to be taking little digs. Or was it just in Tiffany's mind. I mean...it is possible for our parents to mellow with age. I know when I was younger I wanted a tattoo and my parents were no, no, no. Then I come home for college and my parents were all about tattoos. I was like rme. lol. I loved Mama Dee's advice and thought that whole scene was great. But Tiffany's family scenes are endlessly fascinating to me. KAMERON. Awwwww Court. I loved that whole little story. The family that trick each other into dream houses...stay together. But I think he's cute anyway. KARY. Brandi has a watchdog. She's named Stephanie. There was no need for her to get in the middle of Candiace...I mean Victim Brandi vs LeeAndra. STEPHANIE. Not much there but a great confessional. BRANDI. That whole scene with her 'checking her emails' was complete and utter SET-UP. We see how setting up things is working out for Jen Shah, so Brandi really needs to quit. Seriously, she's been doing this for episodes now. She continues to try to find a way to deflect for the real reason she has been attacked in the first place...BRANDI, YOU'RE A SUCKY PERSON!!!! No matter how you try to put the blame for your video on a POC, act born again when you are known to run around with dildos, poof, and wigs in your crotch, or fake cry with no real tears, no one with any intelligence will fall for that. LEEANDRA. She played it smart. She walked in there just like she said, expecting a setup. And she was right. I loved her paying Brandi dust...and then letting Brandi hang herself by mentioning the article. Then Kary tried to attack her and she deflated that with an apology...and then Brandi still tried to attack her. And she calmly called her out. So...Point 1 for her as we go into a TO BE CONTINUED. And I stay liking how Jeremy flirts with her so shamelessly. Good episode but I am tired of Candiace...I mean Brandi.- Days recast
