hahaha I've been saying that for ages as well. But propping Britt doesn't make it any less funny

IKR!!! Playing some catch up and I'm loving how much Willow is playing in everyone's face. YES, PLEASE. I would think anyone, but Nina is promiscuous.

Oh...Dani and Joey made that bet. ;) So we should at least have her married for a year.

I'll say this much...the things they do to not write for Jake. Cuz I didn't mind Jake with Charlotte.

RHOP I'm shocked...but...REUNION TRAILER!!!!

THIS. Exactly. Believable ways. Exactly. What gave this (Dani/Andre) more substance and potential to be rooted for was the amount of meaningful and real conversations Dani and Andre had outside of the bedroom. Seeing it was clear that the audience was supposed to be seeing Dani and Bill long for each other, surprise, surprise, I rather wanted to see if Dani and Andre could become more than friends with benefits instead...only for Bill to realize what he lost. And for a little while, the writing started to reflect that triangle that I was hoping for. I just hope it continues to do so. Honestly...once this hits climax...I don't see Hayley just going to jail so I expect her to have a Sami Brady style trump card OR a bitter divorce fight. Which yes, naturally Dani would be there supporting Bill which would cause natural friction between her and Andre. Speaking of...is the investigation into Andre's past our first real example of a dropped storyline on this show? Because the detective DID say something happened to Andre a year before he got back into town. And Bill did decide to not cancel the investigation...unless I remember incorrectly. I thought Bill told him to keep digging.

Very clear. Thank you to Karla Mosley for confirming. ;) My issue isn't with the triangle so much as IS it an ACTUAL triangle? Cuz IMHO the writing tends to be too slanted versus letting it organically be one. It goes back to the DM Rule about 'if I can look at my screen, see a character, and go...they would NEVER do that...then the writer has failed.' I pointed out for me what stood out as ODD in Andre and Dani to make me side-eye. Of course, I could be overthinking...but it's not the first time for me I had an issue with the building of this very promising triangle.

Wow. Cool!

I feel the same. It was clear from their first scene together with Bill/Dani. The fire and chemistry is definitely there. It's why the Hayley reveal hit so well. Her and Bill was never endgame. And now we know why she was never developed while Dani and Bill got so much development. The reveal and all scenes after that is why I keep comparing them to Marlena/John/Kristen cuz that's what they are giving, making it hilariously funny. But to find ANOTHER pairing with fire and chemistry with your lead actress. And not to play both without slanted writing? I get it from GH. I would hate to see BTG fall into that.

I think for me I'm just overthinking it. Last year when the show started and throughout the rest of the year...Dani/Bill were clearly being written as endgame with Hayley as the spoiler. Probably how MVJ wants it. Even with the Hayley reveal, it still felt that way which makes her scenes hilariously fun for me now. BUT on screen, Dani/Andre were given so much development that resonated and felt organic. And no matter how many scenes Dani/Bill popped up in, Dani/Andre couldn't be denied. So once we got to the episodes where the writers clearly saw that the audience was responding to Dani/Andre AND Dani/Bill, I would have thought we would got an actual soap triangle a la GH Sonny/Brenda/Jax where the sides were even matched. And before they had that weird shift to the backburner, it seem like we were getting a Bill/Dani/Andre triangle like that. I hoped we would get that getting into this year. But I immediately side-eyed when Andre started to talk about his insecurities again. I know he has his worries about Bill due to history, but it just seem to abruptly come out of nowhere. And this week, Dani just feels off. Cuz would Dani kiss Bill? YEEEAH. However, Dani/Andre have built this relationship on telling each other everything...good, bad, and ugly. So her actions ring false to me just as much as Andre suddenly talking about his insecurities again out of the blue. It feels like the writers are again doing Dani/Bill = endgame while Andre is now in Hayley's spot as spoiler. It would be so much better if they make it an actual triangle, and not couple with obstacle. If that makes sense.

Pretty tame ending, but good episode.

Hahahhaha!!! God bless June. But this foreshadowing again? Hmmm...is this setting up Jacob for a fall? Someone is really having a ball with the hilariously humorous dialogue today. Cuz 'I have to admit I was looking forward to seeing a less tamed version of you' was funny.

Poor Shanice. HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!! Kat has me rolling throughout this episode!!!!

IKR!!! Ever since Brad decided to focus on mostly non-Forresters, it's like he's been inspired. Even a little bit with the Forresters, too. I hope he keeps this balance because it's been highly enjoyable.

Hehe. Same on both accounts.

Ooooh? Perfect for a young vixen. ;) Thank you for the tag. :)

Oooo DIVA!!! Cool!!

Oh? Get out!! He also recurs on YELLOWSTONE. I've been binging over the last year as it has popped up on my system. Currently doing Season 4.

Back off Shanice, SilkPress. You don't want that smoke. Hehe at this Kat/Anita scene.

You make me want to look. I'm scared to see it...though I am happy to see it has finally popped up again.

From your lips to God's ears.

JUNE!!!!!!!!! Wow. Like grandmother, like granddaughter. Anita is making me want to shake her. Hahahahahaha at Carlton/Shanice. THANK YOU for Ted FINALLY putting his foot down with SPS and Keith is playing total hard line versus being straight man to crazy lady. And I'm happy to see that SPS is still giving menace as well as schemer in their scene. LOVE the Nicole/Kat scene.

Is it wrong that I giggled at Smitty being tired and Jacob being tired? You would think they had an affair on their spouses...

Since I'm home today...IT'SSSS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1-22 The first 'Thursday' episode. On actual Thursday. lol. But it was a nice break from the Anita's Cancer storyline. There was so much character development/plot set-up going on. The plasma ring storyline that's emerging gave us a name. The Impaler. Doesn't appear to be connected to Joey, but he knows sum thangs. lol. I liked that it appeared to be a slow build. I like that it appears to be a Jacob storyline. And it seems like we are going to get another round of Jacob/Smitty which was a great team-up last year. Speaking of people getting stories...Vanessa and that client's husband! Well, it's nice to see that building into something. For too long, Vanessa has been acting weak to me so seeing her slowly getting back to herself and dealing with some actual drama vs relationship drama is fine with me. I liked that we got to continue the cliffhanger from Nicole seeing Shanice and Ted. I don't know what to say. I know it has been discussed about building relationships on this show. And outside of Dani and Andre, it has been light or disjointed. I didn't like it at first, but I will say we did get to see Ted and Shanice grow. So them sleeping together felt earned. And no slapsticky 'everything but the kitchen sink' stall tactics, either. And Nicole also having her own storyline will never not put a smile on my face. Dani, Dani, Dani. I can't with her. Not because I don't love her. But...le sigh. She has Andre. She don't need Bill. And this episode felt like there was no struggle with her resisting Bill at all on her end. Ugh. And now Tomas done seem them, too? Messy! Sidenote...Tomas suuuure is building up on finding out little secrets. Finally, Hayley. Now, Bill. Where is THAT going? Hmmm. An episode of B and C stories, but it says something about how confident the writers feel that it just flowed really well.
