Liberty City

She's still on the show; she's recurring so she only films when they call for her to.

The body-shaming is unreal. Whew.

Can't wait to see what the cast photo will look like by then... 🤣

date: Tuesday, April 8 | Teresa Zimmerman, Judy Tate | Steven Williford Bradley is a FATHER, and we love to see it; love that he set up for Samantha to go to the show! Anita, Mama, you are wild in that print. It fits you like a glove! That red is fire on Nicole; I'm so used to seeing her in lighter, less bold colours. It works well for her. Oh look, it's deadbeat. Home right on time. Loving the family dynamics of the Duprees. So much rich history there. Genuinely, however, seeing Ted against Vernon, I cannot help but feel like Ted is not the successor to Vernon. At all. Samantha is falling deep into the fashion world; you can see it in her eyes, and it's going to come down to Chelsea or Dani with whom she'll align. I love the use of the Country Club for the fashion event; the sisterly bond between Dani and Nicole is strong, but I am wondering what, if anything, could crack it at some point. Anita is feeling nostalgic for the Articulettes, and I just hope she gets her reunion moment and in the way the Supremes never got. An August reunion for a one-off that leads to a potential fall reunion tour? I love seeing Chelsea, Katherine, and Samantha working together, even if the latter is stiffer than stiff in that way. TOMAS! Yay! So happy that he came in support of Katherine tonight. Martin and Ted sharing scenes? This is allowed to happen? Whew. Oh Lord, the room is closing in on my poor Tomas. Run, Tomas! Run for the hills! That was a cute fashion show. Short, demure, mindful. Bold could learn a lot, honestly. It felt contemporary and modern and classic at the same time. Wonderful. General note: Jeresa Featherstone is doing the damn thing. I saw the work she brought to The Bold and the Beautiful, and that was cheap-looking in comparison to how rich and refined everyone on Beyond the Gates has continued to look.

Yes, it does.

Plenty of daytime stars (past and present) are a part of this project, including Crystal Chappell (ex-Carly, DAYS; ex-Olivia, GL, et al.); Vincent Irizarry (ex-David, AMC; ex-Diemos, DAYS, et al.); Emme Rylan (ex-Lulu, GH; ex-Lizzie, GL, et al.); Mike Manning (Bradley, BTG, et al.); Peter Porte (ex-Dimitri, DAYS, et al.); Marc Anthony Samuel (ex-Felix, GH); and Kelly Thiebaud (ex-Britt, GH). Rick Hearst (Ric, GH, et al.) is the series' announcer.

WHEW... so the same recycled storytelling through 2028? Awesome. By then, it'll have been nine years since I last watched. 🤣

Oh, this is cool. At first reading, I thought it said she was joining the cast. 🤣

Nah; he came off so cold and unconcerning today with me. Nope. Not just you.

I find him beyond stiff, dry and cold in his reading. He's not connected with the scripts at all; someone did say it does appear as if he's reciting the script, verbatim, in his scenes and it's so cold and off-putting.

💯 And I can respect your opinion, and Vee can respect mine. That's how it works, right Vee?

Have not heard anything.

No. That's Gregori J. Martin, who was suspected out and replaced by the Daytime Confidential person.

He's not improving, though. At least from my point of view.

It's their M.O. trust me, save yourself the headache. 🤣

Give up while you're ahead. 🤣 Trust me, you'll be thankful for it later.

3 p.m. airing on Hot Bench was just interrupted; now I know why the scroll appeared at the beginning of the episode.

date: Monday, April 7 | Christopher Dunn, Jazmen Darnell Brown | Phideaux Xavier Not the catch-up notice scroll at the beginning of the episode. Hope this does not mean we're going to be interrupted? That couch is cursed for the deadbeat; who'd be run over and/or hit with an emergency brake? Laura! Have not seen her since the premier week. Thought she'd never be seen again. Dana, now is not the time for the dramatics, and there is no way you'd give a Viola Davis-worthy level performance. Never. August 28?! We're planning well ahead, aren't we?! Lucy on GH is working one month before the Nurse's Ball, and it shows. Bradley deserves a hell of a lot better than Martin, and Martin (a.k.a. deadbeat) deserves nothing but misery. Samantha and Tyrell with their great-grandparents?! Oh, I love this. Mona... woo-hoo! I've missed this fashionable diva! Oh, Tyrell is smart in the mouth, but smart in the right kind of way. Part of me feels like a naked photo of Tyrell is what's been spread around school. The scandal of it all. These scenes with Dana and Ted... not going to lie, I can kind of tell why they're swapping out Maurice Johnson with Keith D. Robinson right now. It's glaring in these scenes why it's happening. Eva, I don't think you were meant to see that. Retreat. Retreat immediately and don't turn back. Save yourself! Hey deadbeat, I'm sick of you! So sick of you and your arrogance. The anvils keep dropping, re: Nicole and Ted's marriage. Oh, Viagra discussion?! This kind of tea is brilliant. Anita is very forthright; she sees what is coming. Another Febreze ad? At least this one was quick. Vernon has such a poignant way with words. You can tell he was a politician who was effective in his day with this montage. I love this. So, so much. Dana in her nurse wig. NURSE is right. #IYKYK

It's what I am hoping for, honestly.
