Oh snap, she's a doctor!! Chelsea wants to date the doctor that helps Bill haha. Looks like the Andre/Dani secret will hopefully keep coming out next week.

LOL! Thought the same thing. Now THAT would be fun to watch. Old school soap there.

Finally some movement on this gambling storyline! Secrets are coming out.

Exactly! It screams of desperation.

I'm confused though, because why is Brit just now looking at the pictures and saying it's not her? I know she didn't initially see them at the party, but what happened just now that hasn't happened earlier in 2025 where she's finally seeing them? And if there were so many people that saw them at the party, no one thought it wasn't her and didn't say something?

Eva/Thomas really do have good chemistry and I think a lot of it has to do with Ambyr's ability to flirt well.

Oh wow - yeah, that was her final nail in the coffin. I guess she's banking on more payout from this vs. getting another season.

Congrats to them, love to see their continued success!

Billy just showed up for Vanessa's memorial (Sept 9, '96), which is so nice! My first time seeing him like this outside of random clips from the past. He's out of jail for 24 hours, so not long. It's good to see him with the family.

Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha. But that's great to know Billy comes back soon! I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.

Love to hear it!!! Thanks for sharing.

Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired. Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her. Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.

I’m up to September 4, 1996. Roger paper mache’d and painted a creepy human head of himself, put it in his bed at the loony bin, and escaped! LOL - that was campy. But sadly he got caught and thrown back in. Then he escaped again, and so the merry go round goes. Ok now another mysterious person showed up, without showing his face, to mentor Zachary and help him repair the lighthouse. Is this another angel? His voice sounds like the deeper one that was speaking to Phillip on the docks a month or two ago. Zachary is becoming a pesky little fly, showing up everywhere and getting into everyone’s business haha. Ugh, my girl Bridget is now getting way too desperate over Hart. Out of nowhere, she’s fallen back in love with him and now she’s working to split up Dinah/Hart, but in a very desperate way. She needs to find her confidence and backbone ASAP. We’re starting to see more of Bill, finally. He’s being a typical teenager, beefing with Matt, now that he learned about his past with Amanda in Malibu. Michelle is being nice to Bill now that J pissed her off. Bill is a lifeguard now and it was very nice/cute of J to pretend like he’s drowning so Bill could rescue him and prove himself for the job. This new J is much better and more likable than Pilgrim’s version. Griffin survived the assassination attempt, but is still in the hospital and someone is framing Vivian as the shooter by putting the gun in her car. Ok. Beth has now decided to officially divorce Phillip since he won’t come home and quit his vendetta against the A. Spaulding in question. Beth being off camera (and me not knowing her) really makes this fall flat unfortunately. When writing Phillip’s return, I wonder if they tried to get the actress back but couldn’t? Rick and Abby are just realizing they both are interested in each other and it’s very sweet. They just had their first picnic date in the park and Rick was very sweet to her. I’m nervous for how Abby will react to Rick being the father of one of Blake’s baby though - she doesn’t handle stress well haha. I do commend O’Leary and Budig for learning and using so much sign language throughout the year with Abby. The Vanessa storyline - what a sucker punch. Be patient, but here are my running thoughts throughout this wild ride, and imagine me saying “Vanessa, what are you doing?” after each episode: Oh noooo. Vanessa just had a secret MRI and oh my gosh, the results aren’t great. How sad this is to hear the news she will end up in a vegetative state within the next few weeks/months for years and not remember her family due to some incurable disease in the brain. This is devastating. Maeve is doing such a great job and I love how Nola is there first to console her. Great scenes between Vanessa and Nola throughout. Now she’s contemplating suicide and Zachary is talking her out of it. So very sad. Ugh, now she’s starting to go blind and won’t tell Matt anything. This is all so quick! She’s being so stubborn not telling anyone or asking for help. Now she just wrecked her car (twice!), and is stranded unconscious in a ditch, but alas here is Zachary to help again. Now she wants to pretend like she died in the car fire! Vanessa, what is wrong with you haha. Is she always this bullheaded and not willing to show weakness to her loved ones? Roger happened to stumble across the wreck too and hear Vanessa and Zachary talking, so I’m curious how he’ll use that against her or if he’ll be the one to spill the beans somehow. Ugh, now her entire family has shown up to the wreck site devastated, agonizing over it and attempting/risking their lives to get into the fiery wreck to save her, all while Vanessa is watching on the sidelines. That’s a bit cruel, Vanessa! Wait, now Aug 30 and everyone in Springfield is being told she died and they identified the body, which is heartbreaking, but Vanessa is still with Zachary… so did she really die and is an angel now or WTF is going on? Ok now Roger just saw the news in a newspaper and said to himself that Vanessa is actually alive, phew. And now she’s shown up at the airport dressed as a nun while Zachary confronts Roger, who is pretending to be a pilot while evading the loony bin wards/police. Now Zachary magically convinced Roger to give up his gun and turn himself in, and just as he’s being taken out of the airport, with Dinah and Frank right there, he sees Vanessa amongst a gaggle of nuns, surprising everyone by saying that, but she is able to get on the plane unseen and now everyone thinks Roger is scum and even crazier than before. So Vanessa, what are you doing?? @P.J., I know you’re a huge Vanessa fan, what did you think of this storyline - and others, how did you and the audience feel about this storyline? How did Maeve feel about this storyline?

Oh wow - I must see this promo! Anyone have a copy/link to it? I can't believe they 'accidentally' did that, and if so, I wonder if someone got in trouble haha. Kim did mention in Chapter 1 that the 'suits' dangled some hopeful carrots for a long time, saying they would pitch the show and try and get it on another network or online somehow where it would be cheaper. They even heard rumors that Lifetime would pick it up, so it gave some folks hope for a little while, but sadly nothing came of it. Kim said she was already resolved that it would never go anywhere and she had peace of mind about that shortly after the announcement.

LOL - my mind was looking for a 'Cole' in Reva's long name, and of course that's the actor's name instead. I guess 7 unique husbands, and a couple she married twice, which gets her to 9? Hahaha - true, could be. Hopefully/surely she somehow audited her beloved character's name before publishing. LOL - and good on Lucci for being smart there. Ahhh - what a teaser! I'll be sure to let you know 😲 Ugh, I hate to hear this!

Very interesting and great to hear, I'm glad she isn't just largely unpopular.

Totally agree on TMG - perfect daytime camp. I always get Febreeze commercials, and did today. I wonder why you're not, that's odd.

"Ciao, Nikki!" 😂 I love Leslie's nicknames for everyone. Speaking of, is she going by Leslie or Dana because Ted keeps calling her Dana now. That was a nice scene between Eva and Laura.

I agree with this. Damn, Anita giving the girls a reading now today - I'm getting whiplash! Haha, but this is pretty normal in arguments.

Kenya wins! I bet she comes back full-time and Brit is but a distant memory.

Wow Alexa Havins is dominating screen time this year. I don't watch GH these days, but I'm curious about her reception - do the fans like her in the role? I really loved Alexa at AMC and she's a strong talent, but I haven't seen her in too much outside of AMC and random things here and there.

AND - the OC trailer was just released and it looks good! I can't wait to see these girls back in July.

Febreeze spotlight and then Febreeze commercial right after (for those who care). LOL at Leslie being excited for the cops to search her place.

I just came here to talk about this!!! I'm shocked because I figured that thirsty b!tch would be there, no doubt. I wonder what happened, but you're right, she's definitely a one-and-done now (thank god). Also wild to see Drew on the end. I wonder with Brit not showing, and Kenya not being invited, if they just allowed Cynthia to sit there the entire time as a friend, otherwise that's a lopsided couch. https://people.com/brit-eady-kenya-moore-miss-real-housewives-of-atlanta-reunion-exclusive-sources-11749013
