I would be more tolerant of it if she began actively scheming and doing straight-up nefarious shît to eventually get caught out for. If she doesn't soon she can go.

We'll keep discussing it without you, don't let us keep you!

Aiden is truly awful and has been since he was hired what, a year or two ago? I'm fine with less of him.

Fergus was mentioned by Diane when Alexis' bar review first came up. I wasn't really watching at the time so I have no idea if he was shown or named in that period. I certainly didn't give a shít about Neil, who I vaguely recall.

Seems like Mulcahey may also have made a big romance move, per the spoilers thread. It's weird like that!

Wow. I wonder if it's just a cameo for the bar review story or something more. I don't know if we saw Neil's brother before.

I would be for it! But I also think Drew and Nina can make a genuinely good couple without that which would handicap it for good.

Please God. I never want to see that rape-spawned eugenics mutant again.

I'll believe Florida (or Texas) when it happens. But I do think that yes, as always the media is oversampling the Republican, especially Trump. They need this to be a horse race and they're depressed by the thought that it isn't. It won't be a layup like 2012 was with Romney - I knew he wouldn't win, ever - but it is not what they want it to be.

The death is almost certainly Old Man River Gregory, so the question remains who the newbie is.

Same, really. This just isn't worth more of my time.

Lord, I don't care. Of course she should probably stay silent atm, but it's not that serious unlike the time Nancy was up all night drunk tweeting about Viola Davis. She was lucky to keep her job after that. This? It's a meh for me.

Insane:

You beat me to it! Good old Nancy.

It's too bad. Cady has had a storied love life but those two seemed like they were gonna go the distance.

I love it the way it is tbh. It's such a fun throwback. But I worry Jojo Siwa will snatch it up.

This is who Ava is and I'm glad for it.

David Jacobs' house is on the market and has gone viral. I'll let it speak for itself. @DRW50 @Khan @kalbir

I like the diss at the end on the old quip from the first Bryan Singer film mocking the comic book costumes.

Which is insane to me. How is she broke?? Even with Gladys' shenanigans she was the Face of Deception.

She's just the most boring, uncharismatic model on Earth tbh, so I really don't care. Anything that makes us see less of her works for me.

I think Ned and Olivia do fine as a cornerstone of the show on recurring - they appear plenty, or did until this year but that's a recent lull. I think Rena needs a contract unless she doesn't want one. Lois being much more loving and indulgent re: Tracy and the Qs has also shone through in this run, and is a nice change. I don't think Olivia was always a caricature, but she certainly has been broader since FV/RC came in. That was fine with me because I think Lisa sells it all, can often be fun to watch and is very sweet with Wally, but I don't need more from either of them at this point. Still, Olivia and Lois' backstory are almost totally identical and they are best friends from Bensonhurst so I would like to see them discuss the Ned issue more openly, something that has barely been done since RC first put them together. I don't think Sasha's career change is problematic - there are lots of pro chefs who transitioned from other 'bigger' careers. I think keeping Sasha around is problematic.

I'm also not logged in and it works.

Thanks so much for these as always. We could use some of that brute force and speed in turning out old story right now.

The link worked fine both times. Jordan just has never worked as a character for me. Vinessa Antoine was very talented but the character has always been merely functional, caught between loyalties and entirely plot-motivated. There's no there there and never has been. The last recast was bad and Tanisha Harper can't act at all. I'd dump her with along so many others (including T.J. and Molly) and find better Black characters to invest in. I also think/hope the surrogacy story is not long for this world. I am also pretty sure Trina and T.J. are related, or at least treat each other like close cousins and have for years. I have my doubts Drew will squire around both Nina and Willow - he has always had chemistry with KMM (just as she has with Steve), but I thought that scene with them was largely Drew doing just an unselfish thing for Nina and surprising himself, jut as he did the other day in the office scenes. I guess we'll see. I do think she is working hard.
