Don't worry. I'm sure we are watching his exit storyline. ;) Outside of his bubble, I don't get it, either.

Well when you put it like that...then let me side-eye the show since that means we got Jacinta instead. Exactly! Very.

lol. In time.

Gotta keep that flavor of the month vibe going!

Things that make you go hmmm. But are you saying that you feel there could be more to her leaving off of the DAYS news though. I do agree. I said in the announcement thread today there is still so much history with Sasha around...like her being around for Willow's comeuppance given Willow did try to gaslight her. Not to mention the baby. And of course, the forthcoming Robert tribute.

That Phat A! ;P

3-26 I really enjoyed this episode. Then it occurred to me why. For once...it was Sara. So...soap structured. The main story this week has been the Anita storyline. And it had stories surrounding that. A lot of stories adjacent to that have been on display this week so it flows well from episode to episode. And of course...a C plot in Naomi having the gene. lol. Also there was a lot going on with moveable plots which I liked. One thing that I'm happy about with this show has been every time we here on the board start asking about a character being MIA...they pop up!! I'm looking at you, Peaches!!! hehe. I admit that I twitched seeing Silk Press Sheila, but I was pleasantly surprised they decided to write her normal and with nuances this episode. See? She can sassy and all that and still come across as a HUMAN. Goodness knows I needed the reminder. And I'm always here for Dark Vernon so him vs SilkPress was good. I was soooooooooo happy to see Villainess SilkPress over The Cartoon in those scenes. Another thing this show has been good at...the foreshadowing of characters eventually showing up. We got it with Vanessa's twins. And they set up Darlene for a whiiiiiiile. And...WORTH THE WAIT. Thanks to the Week Ahead synopsis for the heads-up!!!! Classic soap. I would have liked a surprise soap actress, but I love the actress. I can't wait to see her mix it up with other characters. And her family. Has the next family truly arrived? And 3 for 3 with Sharon paying a visit in terms of recurring characters. It is great to get Anita's POV. And they are still foreshadowing that Devon Winters thread. Good. That can be the next story after the Cancer story. While I don't like the plasma ring storyline, I do like the potential for the aftermath of it. Of course, I've mentioned how it could affect Martin/Smitty. But this tension between Jacob and Greyson could carry over and affect the Naomi/Ashley friendship. I really don't like how he's such a jerk to Greyson, but it is also nice to see Jacob NOT be nice. Liked the Bill/Anita scenes. And of course, that will lead to some mess. ETA: I almost forgot...another great day for Kat. I loved that Ted apologized to Kat and they came to a truce. I really liked those scenes, too.

I have. It's why I keep shading her every chance I get. I will be glad when she stops being the Flavor of the Month.

Ooooo thank you for this.

So much fun. She will need that fun if I turn out to be right about Tomas's exit storyline. hehe.

I admit that when I saw mystery role...that was what came to mind.

Knowing these writers it will be a year from now before we get to that scene.

I sadly feel that is a given. And I feel they both (especially Michael) deserves better.

You're not alone. I am never not TeamKat. If they are not going to keep with nuances with the character when it comes to her rivalry with Eva...then same. I do love that they have continued with Kat's throughline of loving true crime so much that she comes across like a black (and rich) Veronica Mars. That was one of the best things about her going against Silk Press Sheila. It's almost a shame that she is not in story with her sidekick Jacob. Well, yet.

lol

Well, he does have a nice arc so... ;) But seriously, I didn't know that. Just ugh. I also didn't want a recast, but he doesn't bother me at all. And I do like that Brad Bell is getting what he always wanted with RJ in a triangle with someone so I guess we all win. tbf, people were right to criticize his acting. But then he would pop (pun unintended) in in a pair of tight slacks and... :D :D :D But I think you know I don't mind a himbo so Joshua fits the bill. I do like the recast DOES come across as more than just that. He even has the same entry storyline as Josh, but came across more worldly like the son of a world famous designer would be. Hehe. Perhaps because it was left field and unexpected. So unexpected that you loved it? I know that's what got me.

Who would have thought it? Same. Long may she reign.

I mean unless it's that wife or babymama...

Thank you for the news. I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back at Season 8, but it's good to know that since both were more or less starting around that time, they will be around (and developed from what clips I've seen of Sophia Bush's appearance on the show) for a while before I get to this point. And wow at it being the show that keeps going.

Well, the show will always need a scheming Have-Not and she's giving that and looking good, messy, and fierce doing it.

Hahahahaha!!! @Maxim come get your girl!!!

That's crossed my mind. So...hopeful. Well, fingers crossed.

3-27 Now that I got to watch the episodes I missed...I thought that was a good week. I'm still hollering in my head about that Friday cliffhanger with Sheila. I didn't even know before I peeked in at this thread that AB was preggers in real life. I had been wondering during the last Daphne vs Ivy confrontation why she was dressed like poor Thorne's daughter before she went crazy. I guess I know why. But she's clearly having a ball manipulating Will/Dylan/Electra/RJ. And I really love her doing it with a glee in her eye. That said...I love @ranger1rg and how much you like the RJ recast, but I'm like @Soapsuds and miss the booty butt on the other RJ. Not that the recast is unattractive. :) I think what I really like besides all the scheming has been that I don't dislike any of the characters and I wonder where I will stand once everything is revealed. I'm always here for shirtless men so I've enjoyed seeing Carter, Finn, RJ, and Deacon in the same week. Especially Deacon. Eat your heart out, Ron Carlivati, because there was no fat on that body and SK looked good in those black boxers. Speaking of...I knew this was the week where the Taylor/Deacon/Sheila triangle was going to get its moment to be messy after last weeks Brooke vs Katie mess and Ms. It's-Not-Proper's antics, but ooooooo. That was messy AND hilarious. I may not like Hope back with Liam, but I enjoyed their scenes. And I enjoyed her scenes with Deke very much though I wish they would do more with Deke. But...Deacon/Taylor rendezvous. Sheila deciding to show up. Sheila with the knife. The direction! The MUSIC!!! I can't!!! It's been a minute since B&B has been so deliciously campy and that was...a great mess. AND a Friday cliffhanger. Good week. I can't wait to get around to watching this current week.

RHOA Since it's back next week (with RHORI)...THOUGHTS? https://x.com/i/status/2038590720475287782 jay on X: "Here are some more #RHOA Season 17 Premiere Sneak Peeks! 🍑🔥 Source: @BravoTV https://t.co/rqfqiiZ0W6" / X

Thank you for the tip @edgeofnik . I did stop by to peek in at Patty Jane © @Khan vs Diane. And it was worth the peek. Stacy Haiduk stays looking superb in red. And I hope it brings REAL Diane out to play, too. Stacy was coming across as a vixen, not a psycho so I'm here for it. It goes without saying I enjoyed my brief sighting of JM with his arms out and hair cut.
