Hehe.

Which is why everyone got it when Lala did that on TRUE BLOOD.

NINA...YOU...BETTA...READ.

Always. And bubbles.

YES. Package and all!

And Texan.

Same. Andre has worked his way back into my good graces. And that montage. Perfection. Can't say the same for Ashley. Actually it was a reference to THIS diva.

I understand. I just told my co-worker earlier today...a DAYS fan...that a lot of actors and actresses have been passing on GH over the last few years. Regardless of how I feel about the writing overall, I do feel when it comes to the vets passing, the writing has been (and continues to) respect them.

RHOM Well, I gotta catch up on RHOM some time. lol. I haven't watched the latest yet. But from where I've been watching, I had to admit that I felt...nothing. I found it odd. The ladies had been giving fashion. They have been giving trips. And of course, they have had some drama. So the episode before the one that was the latest felt a little too muted for me. I admit that I was surprised. Were the ladies finally BORING me? Hehe. NOPE. I watched the episode before the latest one...and everything was back to normal for me. lol. I can't believe the finale is almost here. So I fully expect these storylines to close out. The only sour note that I have noticed that has been bugging me is the Alexia/Marysol tension. Production must be covering a la the old RHOM days because it has continued to be there and clear as day over Marysol's feelings for Todd, but it STILL hasn't boiled over yet. And I'm ready. Are we going to see it? Meanwhile... ALEXIA. I swear...she really does be the gift that keeps on giving. Why? I was just as shocked as Stephanie when she revealed she had a sister. I went WHHHATTT??? SINCE WHEN??? lol. I liked that her and Steph came to a meeting of the minds again. But it's interesting that Alexia also started to stir up some mess between Stephanie and Marysol. And then we are at the part of the season where the ladies are seeing that Alexia is NEVER leaving that man. So...still giving. LARSA. GIRL, SHUT UP!!! Everyone and I do mean EVERYONE has told her to let this feud with Lisa go. And they have even told her how to do it so how she keeps walking into a scene and then...restart the SAME argument. Seriously...just SHUT UP. Outside of that, these last two episodes she gave NOTHING. Unless she was the one behind Adriana's shady birthday cake... GUERDY. I loved her good humor and her Janet Jackson shoutout during the 80s event (and also Production being shady with everyone *cough*Larsa*cough*'s 80s picture). Besides that, I liked that she showed us her therapy session. JULIA. I continue to feel there is more to the story of her adoptive kids and her kids than she is letting on. The only interesting thing about her otherwise has been the continuing deteriorating relationship between her and Adriana. I was surprised that she even realized it was her birthday. LISA. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I liked for her and Production poking fun at the other girls finding out that she got to events first. It was funny. Now that scene with her and Jody was kinda...odd. And as she has done all season...Lisa stays giving LOOKS. STEPHANIE. I love, love, LOVE that she's doing an event that also spotlights Adriana's singing. Help a friend out! And it was funny seeing her mend fences with Marysol only for Alexia to stir that pot anew. A Marysol takedown? I doubt it, but we'll see. FOH ADRIANA. The feelings about growing older is real. And I liked that Adriana put a face on it. That said...she is hot AF. So it was sad to see her so down. And it was shady whoever did that to her birthday cake. It was also so telling where her friendship with Julia is now. I did like that Steph gave her a lifeline with her event. I also appreciated getting an update on her singing career. KIKI. I liked that her and her father have come to some understanding. MARYSOL. I mean what Alexia was not wrong. I was shocked that she was saying it. We had heard it before though. From Lea Black. From Ana. Marysol very much be manipulating from behind the scenes to take out people. It was why I enjoyed that she was being upfront at the start of the season with her pot-stirring.

I'm sure someone here can still verify. It's been so long I can't remember for sure. Hehe. Don't get me started re: Y&R Paul. But I agree on Scotty. Especially given how he was written out last time.

That's a given. I live for Dani shading Ashley. I just worry...as has been mentioned here...that as soon as Ashley finds out about Dark Derek, she's going to try to run back to Andre. And he is going to drop Dani. AGAIN. Hopefully not since they did get married now. He needs to stay with the fine wine, not mess with stale bland bread.

True. But for me, I guess it could be also that Maxie isn't around to give their scenes some gravity/grounding, too. Lord...is Madeline even still alive?

Hehe. I'm not going to lie. As soon as you mentioned his name, I went and had to refresh my memory. And didn't it turn out that he and Kin were distantly related in real life, too?

As one of the people who used to like that group...I must admit that I'm currently not feeling their scenes though the resetting of the Dr. O and Britt relationship could be interesting.

Totally. Yeah, I thought that I would dislike it, but I grew to love it. But I guess I am a sucker for people on soaps dancing at the altar. lol. Dani was getting her life.

Mmmmmm Logan...

Exactly!!!

Yes...I had heard so much about her and those beautiful green eyes and seen clips. And had friends that wanted her back for decades. And I still remember the gasp I let out with her reentrance...I loved her anyway I got her, but it really was hit and miss. And I was just happy in the end, my Princess Tina got her man. *swoons* I agree though I always have a soft spot for Faison because his reputation before I saw him (well as an adult and vaguely remember him as a kid) preceded him so well. The same for Stefano...whom I knew of looooong before I saw him or even started to watch DAYS cuz I like the Phoenix trope in literature, media, etc. To experience him though...the gothic, the intellect, I think I had never seen a man on a show that was evil but so...cunning, but intelligent and passionate...as a kid, I never seen anything like that...probably why it was love at first sight with Stefan on GH as well. lol. But I disgress...I love his campy, but I like that Stefano did become more grounded, but for a while there never lost his menace. Same. Especially Julia. Gave her a whole return promo (that I still can't find to this day) and then did nothing with her after her initial return arc only to kill her off right when she was about to get interesting in such a throwaway way, too.

I go with Number 1, but I love Number 2 as well. Speaking of...you know I'm not watching so I have to ask...has the wedding happened yet?

Let me go ahead and get this out of the way before I dive into the Monica week because today has been a good day for a good cry for me (a lot of family medical issues, but got some good news on my sister). I felt the week before last was very much giving last week's BTG. It had good moments and I was not nearly as bored with GH as I was with BTG, it was just...THERE. I guess for me, I agree with what everyone else said...Drew woke up too soon in his murder mystery. And even that, he still hasn't changed (note to me: GOOD...Drew is best as villain). And because of that, it felt like they are already losing that momentum for that part of the storyline. Same for Britt's return which I felt has a good flow to it, but now that I've gotten to the scenes that @carolineg mentioned I agree. It's giving too much WannabeBrenda/Jason-lite and not what I came to expect from Britt/Jason scenes in the past. I immediately started to side-eye. I must have missed the scene (or just not cared) where Sydney Joss and Vaughn officially decided to get together. That said, I did giggle when they pulled collective guns on Brennan. Now that Jason knows about Joss, I do admit that I'm interested in seeing if he will tell Carly and will it finally blow up Carly/Brennan. I thought the Jason/Anna scenes were too on the nose. Now that the writers have Britt back, no need for them to play Jason/Anna scenes like they are wannabe lovers. Good said I. But THEY were the only ones who wanted that so the scenes played like they were trying to have a tantrum over something NO ONE in the audience wanted. What's the phrase...let it go. The audience do not mind Jason/Anna as friends...we just didn't want them as lovers. I can't believe Britt just walked back into the hospital like she hasn't been gone for two years. And then she said BEN. Ooooo I saw red just like Lulu which means I'm Team Lulu on that. I don't like the storyline, and it doesn't help it has no layers to it. On the nose again. We are giving up the much more layered and entertaining (even with slanted writing) Lulu/BLQ rivalry. Le sigh. I see how over Kai I am. And his recent scenes with Drew where Drew is trying to use him to get all of his blackmailing dirt just makes Kai look so daft. I really like seeing Trina and Emma together and of course Emma and Gio. I was meh on the return of the professor. Liz is love and apparently comic relief and I'm not hating on it. I still feel Willow shot Drew and how K McMul is playing her...I feel like Dark Willow is far from over and I love that. Jacinta and Michael...I don't. Though I've enjoyed RG and DZ in scenes both looking like snacks. I have liked seeing so much Nina. And Isaiah is totally coming across as obsessed so I feel at some point he will be thrown under the bus.

Okay, FINE. You WIN. I'm back on the Dani/Andre wagon. But if he hurts her again...GRRRR. This episode is already off to a great start. Not surprising cuz it's Jazmen. But I really love the Bill/Naomi/Chels scene and how the show has continued the throughline of Chelesa dealing with her kidnapping. So much more realistic than POOF she's back to normal for me. Love seeing Hayley/Caroline. Loving how humor is being used...silly yes, but not so slapsticky that I'm rolling my eyes. And the TWINS were mentioned today, too. I really wonder if they have already been cast if they are allegedly arriving in November/December according to today's dialogue per Vanessa. That's what I am wondering as well. Totally agree. Last week is the first week I haven't done a rewatch. I miiiight rewatch Thursday and Friday, but I have no desire to do the rest.

As it should be. Excited.

So I'm going to cry. Got it. Good to hear.

I'm a sucker for young/teen couples so I totally understand. I'm looking forward during my binge this weekend. Hopefully.

AMEN!!!! I can't wait to see her. And Jan, too. Together? Come thru, Have-Nots!!!
