No, it was never mentioned. This is our first time hearing it, so maybe like Cheap21 said she may have been cleaned up at this point. Although, how a person in June's position was able to do that I don't know.

No way I can root for Ashley when she keeps making Derek seem like the bad guy when she was clealry checked out and interested in Andre this whole time.

Happy Hundredth!!! Andre and Ashley Also, why was our Kitty Kat wearing her watch over her sweater like that?

But how would June not have gone through severe withdrawals while Naomi had her in that hospital for an extended stay like it was a Motel 6?

Oh wow! Great eye. I always wondered why the scenes in Tyrell's room were filmed that way. Made it seem like his room was a walk-in closet.

Do we know if Doug and Vanessa's bedroom was an actual specific set or a redressed one? I doubt and hope they wouldn't build a bedroom set for Doug and Vanessa for that singular scene. They honestly could have used Dani's bedroom or Naomi/Jacob's swap out some furniture and dim those lights low and it would have done the trick. I don't think Naomi needs an office at this point. Besides June, we aren't really seeing much of her work in action and I don't see characters just popping up at her place of work.

You're absolutely right.

Would that mean that they're taping about 15 weeks ahead with the break they had in early June.

Yes!!!

I'm really glad that she told Ted the money was for her mom. I honestly thought they were going to have Eva ask and treat Ted like an absolute fool as if he couldn't put two and two together. He literally just shut down Dana and now her daughter is asking for money. I thought they were going to make this a whole thing where Ted gets angry with Eva because she asked for money and didn't tell him she was giving it to Dana, but luckily it didn't play out that way. Also, isn't Ted footing the Bill for Eva's hotel. That's way more than whatever Lesile's rent could be. Ted should have said you love your momma so much than go live with her and I will pay the rent on that apartment and give her some spending money each month in the meantime. It would still come out cheaper than whatever he must be paying for that hotel room.

It would be a really tricky case. Once a child is adopted the biological parents forfeit any parental rights. Similarly in an adoption, the courts are not required to notify extended family unless they already had some sort of legal custody or were a court-ordered caregiver. Considering their age, the court would factor the children's wishes highly in such a case and in this situation there wouldn't be a case to begin with.

I hate to say it, but I still don't care about this June story 😒 Ty and Sam are June's biological children who she willingly gave up and they've been adopted. Sam and Ty have said themselves they are super happy with their lives. I hope they don't push some convoluted custody battle. If Regina and even June want to be part of Sam and Ty's life than fine, but a custody battle over THESE grown kids who are happy and rich is not the story I'm checking for. Similarly, these timelines and ages are insane. Ty and Sam look super young in those photos and according to Regina they were adopted soon after in a really quick and closed adoption. How old were Smitty and Martin when they adopted?

The lack of sets just becomes more evident each day. Of course, we didn't see Naomi at Regina's home and she conveniently tracks down Naomi at Orphey Gene's. I wish they hadn't made a whole thing about Jacob providing Naomi with an address and Naomi going to Regina's home if they weren't going to show it. Obviously, Regina doesn't need a set as she probably won't be a central character, but even I who was quite sympathetic about sets is getting a little turned off by Orphey's.

Is Alex worse than Brandon? I'm not sure. Alex hasn't exactly been given anything meaty for me to judge. Overall, he is not good. His scenes with Kat are a bit robotic, but so are Brandon's. There have been moments when Brandon has definitely been fair, and did an okay-ish job, but I'm not going to play myself and say he's done well or is a good actor at this stage. Those big scenes have been particularly rough for him and I am not sure how anyone would think they were good, but different strokes and all that. The only difference is that I wouldn't care if Tomas was recast whereas I would care if they recast Martin.

That was cute

I have to second this. First, I was like where is June getting money? Then, I caught a glimpse of the money, and I thought it was international currency as many countries have colorful notes. I assumed this was going to be some indication that June isn't everything she says she is. Then, as I noticed the child-like drawings on the paper, I was like you got to be kidding me. What was the purpose of that? It makes June seem mentally unwell when everything else about her screams coherent and well aware of the reality around her. Where along the line would she think play money is acceptable form of payment? Like it's just ridiculous because it doesn't match how June is depicted. She's homeless and down on her luck, but she's not crazy.

Absolutely. This isn't a teenager losing it for the first time carelessly. She has waited and made that choice consciously. Seems pretty weird that she just waited this long and was so willing to give it up on a couch.

TBH, that's exactly where I thought they would be going after Eva got angry at Tomas with the way he acted in the hotel room when Kat showed up. Tomas is speaking out of both sides of his mouth and he is trying to have his cake and eat it too. I wouldn't be surprised if Eva and Kat find out he was playing both of them and this is what brings them together for a time to take him down. Although, this is just a complete shot in the dark and my assumption from Eva's reaction yesterday.

OMG!

Yeah, I think Kat knows she only gave up her virginity to keep Tomas from Eva. I don't think she was as ready for this as she assumed.

Boy, Tomas talking out both side of his mouth and Kat losing her virginity on a couch... messy.

When Naomi handed the waitress her card she gave her a bit of a look and the waitress reciprocated like they knew what to do and not to create a bigger situation with June. Tomas wants his cake and to eat it too.

I think we have come to accept that the ages on this soap have started wonky, especially with Martin as Nicole's child - some things we just have to accept and roll with, but I totally get it.

All I know is that JM is looking fione!

Yes, when Anita performed karaoke with Dani and Naomi, I assumed that song was one of her solo hits. It did have a NJS vibe too it, so it would mean Anita was definitely solo by the late 80s/early90s. Diana Ross's 1989 album is very NJS. Similarly, Donna Summer's '91 album also dabbled heavily in NJS. Donna Summer wasn't in a famous group like Diana Ross, but she was definitely a contemporary of Ross and may provided some inspiration as well. Some info on Summer: Donna Summer, known as the "Queen of Disco," was part of the blues rock band Crow in 1967, shortly before she became famous as a solo artist. Additionally, her sisters, Linda Gaines, Dara Bernard, and Mary Ellen Bernard, were part of a disco group called Sunshine, which provided backing vocals for Donna Summer and had a hit with "Take It to the Zoo" in 1978.
