Liberty City

(and you did not lie). For me, Beck was not Lily; growing up with Byrne, she was Lily to me. And again, the way for which her exit was handled was... poor. But I do think Beck handled it as best as I am sure she could have. And the mere fact she willingly went to recurring (and offered for to step out of the role for Byrne to return for the final episodes) shows her character.

date: Thursday, April 17 | Gregori J. Martin, Jazmen Darnell Brown | Phideaux Xavier So, Dr McBride is trying to fulfill his schedule to avoid gambling, I see. Samantha is dumb; I hate school, too, but don't drop out to pursue modeling. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Deadbeat, this is why you're stupid and dumb AF. Bradley knew better than to do what you stupidly did. I'm sorry, but Ben Gavin (Derek) is as stiff as a board in the hospital scenes; he looks petrified, and not in the good kind of way. Shanice is nosy AF. Like, she's really nosy but gets annoyed when others are nosy with her? Double standard AF. Speak out, Bradley and Tyrell! Don't let Deadbeat be the abuser that he is. Look: no one cares about the difficulties you went through, Deadbeat. I appreciate Chelsea and Katherine sitting down with Samantha to lay it out in the way she needs it to be laid out for her. Oh, hell, handsome doctor eavesdropping on Shanice and Vanessa... who are you, and where have you been hiding?! Becky, Carrie, and Stefania have brilliant ideas, and I have this intuition Naomi is going to be so taken by their intent that she's going to sign back onto the case, and I'm excited for that. I don't trust Jessica; I'm cautious, but this actress could have easily been a Samantha casting. But those fries look bomb; extra crispy steak fries?! Where can I find some? Because my ass is hungry. Douglas is having gambling flashbacks. Whew. And now Vanessa wants to talk? Homeboy is in Trouble (with a capital T). I am going to say it: Uptown is an absolute vibe of an establishment. I'm sorry, but who TF keeps their laundry detergent with their done laundry in the dining room? That shït stays by the washing machine, but cute continued product placement, P&G. It breaks my heart to see how broken Vanessa has become in her relationship.

This is likely; plus, it doesn't sound like it's a long-term planned recast, either. Likely to fulfil the "multi-month" story arc and then make holiday-centric appearances.

Much like the upcoming Superman reboot, I enjoy the aesthetic of this film. Am wishing it well.

Do we need a hotline for this? Or are we good like the adults we're supposed to be? No shït. And with that disgusting-ass scent to boot. Like... ew.

Tika Sumpter (ex-Layla, OLTL) will guest-star in the season finale of CBS' Watson. (x)

I thought he and Maura West were electrifying in their all-too-short romance. And while Beck did fine with Carly vs Lily, I do think it would've stuck better with Byrne in the role.

Rattray did what she was asked to do and then, after four years, was dismissed with the prospect of bringing Byrne back with the assistance of Douglas Marland. Jon Hensley, at the time, remarked he and Rattray didn't have the "underlying chemistry" required to make the pairing work as the reason for her dismissal.

Based on Hansis' body language, it did not feel like a positive relationship with her. And based on what I've seen, I adore Heather Rattray! Under-appreciated so much.

🤣 Van Hansis pretty much confirming he's had no contact with Byrne, and has a relationship with Beck says a lot.

date: Wednesday, April 16 | Teresa Zimmerman, Judy Tate | Michael V. Pomarico Mike is a sleazeball who does not understand his gross actions have consequences. Jacob is shirtless... now the thirsty-ass whiners (who all they do is whine) can STFU finally. Shirtless Andre, too... even more reason for whiners to STFU. Bill went right over Mike's head, which was the right thing to do. Mike is so disgusting he cannot even begin to see his wrongs because he does not see it as wrong. Ted's guilt is truly beginning to set in. Maybe you should've been a man and kept it in your pants. Off-colour remarks? Sexual harassment is not off-colour remarks. You're a SLEAZEBALL! Disgusting. Ugh. Get this man off my screens, permanently. Bill, break his neck. SNAP IT! Oh look, we've got Deadbeat back on the screen, acting as stiff as a damn board. Recast the role, or simply write the character out. Pamela! The icon she is! I love it. We love a true ride or die, although your left fringe needs to be adjusted because it's right on your eyelashes, darling. Oh good, the ho is still being ignored at the Country Club, as she should be. This will be delicious; go on, Pamela, and encourage Dani! Tide sponsorship this episode; I agree: Tide is fantastic. Always used Tide all my life, and it works the best! There's Dani. There she is. Delivering the loose –ho the truth. Finally, Naomi is spitting the truth: Bill cheated throughout his marriage with Dani; what makes ho so special that he won't do it to her, too? Look at Dani giving Shiloh permission to take the ho's order. Hilarious. The ho wishes she had that kind of power. Never has, never will. Bradley couldn't care less, Deadbeat. STFU. Go away. And never, ever come back. Bradley and the kids deserve a helluva lot better.

Hard to believe this has come around again! Time flies.

It's an event when you change.

It's bad. SO bad.

Not the avatar change!

date: Tuesday, April 15 | Christopher Dunn, Jazmen Darnell Brown | Phideaux Xavier I truly hope Naomi is not stepping back from the lawsuit; Becky, Carrie, and Stefania need her to succeed in winning their case. Dani is a drunk-ass mess. At this point, whatever kind of alcohol she's drinking should be a credited principal guest star (and jsyk: I don't really care what kind/brand she's drinking. I just don't drink, so I don't pretend to know). I love how much Bradley loves both Samantha and Tyrell, but then deadbeat has to come in and ruin it. Ugh. Can we just off Martin at this point? He does not deserve this family. At all. Looks like Vanessa's attention is veering from Diego to Joey at this point. No more closet makeout sessions, I would assume. Damn, Naomi just owned Bill in their mini-showdown, and I think Bill ultimately does want to go against her in the courtroom. That's insane. Douglas, you're [finally] at work, and you've got Joey's henchman coming to your workplace? No bueno. I know I said yesterday if Dani wasn't an alcoholic, this was her on her way to being one... I've now changed my mind: she IS a drunk. A fall-down, messy drunk, dependant on her drink to get her through her day. Andre should not be playing babysitter to the drunk, either. At least with Ashley he'd have an actual conversation and relationship. Naomi, girl, stop reminiscing... focus on beating Bill Hamilton in the courtroom. Do it. Ugh... here comes scuzzball Mike. Degenerate, gross dude. Bill, fire his ass. I'm beginning to wonder if Jacob and Naomi have another set in their home or if it's just the bedroom set. Hoping it may be more! Good going, Bill. Fire that scuzzball; it was overdue. Dani, Andre is not into you. Give it up, sweetheart.

Some of the cuts are abrupt, but I appreciate they're not trying to follow what other, tired American soaps have done. They're trying to make their own impression; they don't have 40+ years of history they "must" follow because of previous regimes.

Karla Mosley already confirmed by the summertime there would be more skin shown.
