Liberty City

TWO MORE YEARS! TAKE THAT HATERS!

Exactly it. Probably thinking it clicked with Eli and Lani and hoping it will click again, and it does not.

As of today: Alex Alegria (Tomas) is now recurring.

original release date: Wednesday, April 15, 2026 | writers: Teresa Zimmerman, Danielle Paige | director: Anthony Pascarelli Thoughts: Anita is having a bit too much fun delivering the news, but I love this for her. It is truly wonderful that she only has a few more rounds of chemotherapy left to undergo at this stage. Tomas, trusting Katherine is a mistake. Her mouth is big enough to sell out anyone's secrets before it is too late to hold her back, to spite her tongue. Hayley is really doing her best to try and sell her con to Bill, but I suspect she will not be successful, and hopefully she will get her due before Bill's life is too far gone to save. Dani's look at Anita and Vernon taking about Sharon and Tracy sparks interest in me; she may have called Andre, but I know she wants to call Bill, too. Baby?! Baby?! Bill Hamilton, you might want to run and hide, because it looks like the child bride is about to snap your neck off. No bueno, even though I know it felt right to say it. Even with her so-called makeover, Dana is not as high on the scale as she thinks she is. Of course Katherine would have thought Eva was following her... nasty, self-centred cow. Hopefully with Anita's improving health, Katherine's demeanour can improve. Including Eva was a good start, but there is so much more she could and should be doing. Not Dana running that "baby" into Hayley's face. That is not something you want someone like Dana overhearing. Ouchies. Notes: Both Zimmerman and Paige did outstanding work today on the script. There was a fluid flow, some really great dialogue, and a nice array of characters that didn't feel like too much was happening.

Yeah, Jada and Theo do not work for me, either. It seems like a holdover to see if they can get Brandon Beemer back on set and retry that pairing for the one hundredth time.

Using the Helvetica typeface is a choice, but I'm loving everything as a second part to Confessions, which is bold to live up to. However, this feels more promising than MDNA or Madame X, which were messy eras.

Overall, a good day, but trivia night? No thank you. That's about as bad of an idea as a bookshop.

We still have an A opening and a B opening; the new "A" opening debuted on April 8, and the new "B" opening debuted on April 9. Alex Alegria is out of the opening, but as of April 8, he was still on contract. some of the moves had to do with slide transitions (i.e., Bradon Clayon, Marquita Goings, and Jibre Hordges moving from the A opening to the B opening). Very smart on their parts.

Hoping this lives up to its predecessor, because Madame X was promised to be something it was not.

original release date: Tuesday, April 14, 2026 | writers: Natalie Minardi Slater, Skyy Sandifer | director: Michael V. Pomarico Thoughts: I can only imagine how much Anita's heart must be beating in her throat with new test results coming in. But it is always better to brace oneself. Hayley and Randy are getting more and more lax in their deception. They must be following the basic principles of deception (a.k.a., How to Be a Con Artist for Dummies). Randy needs to be careful: Lynette is smarter than he and Hayley combined. The true con artist. Moments like this, one's life flashes before their eyes, and her words with Dani show just how far their relationship has come in the past 12½ months. Naomi, if you wanted a drama-free day, I hate to say it but your sister is not the person you should have gone to. 🤣 I get why Bradley is trying to ignore Jacob's persistent texting (this is why I hate texting in general), but it is just making things look more suspect to Nicole. I know Bill told Tomas that he believes Hayley is being manipulated and conned by Lynette... but I hope that he is able to see through Hayley's less-than-stellar and believable lies. Anita relying upon Sharon is still wonderful. And I love that Sharon is able to give Anita a solid laugh at Tracy's expense. Okay, Lynette, get yourself some Randy. Enjoy that romp in your hotel room. The maturity of Dani has been breathtaking, and I love seeing her as a voice of support to Nicole right now. Thank goodness it is good news. Knowing that she is inching closer to a lumpectomy is fantastic news! What a relief! Not the split screen of the conning cousins at the end. Whew. What a visual. Notes: Breath of fresh air with Slater as a breakdown writer. Classic soap script with ease of flow. Nothing felt out of place. And despite Sandifer's background, she is quickly becoming a fine scriptwriter. Tamara Tunie (Anita) continues to shine in this storyline. Her delivery is authentic, heartfelt, and most importantly, real. There is nothing flowery about what is being told, and I appreciate that through the writing, Tunie is able to keep everything rooted in realism. The continued use of FaceTime is so refreshing. And it is done in such a realistic, seamless way that it feels like they're being done in real-time. Amazing.

Diane vs. Nikki, even if temporary, was soapy goodness rooted in those characters' histories.

ALL the way! Brooke has become beyond unbearable. BEYOND!

So they essentially traded Phoebe for Hope. Hilarious, haha.

I mean, we saw how it went down when Jack Deveraux on DAYS went MAGA against whoever it was he targeted.

Yes, they are. I cannot remember but was Phoebe like this, too? 🤨

Likely that I say it and won't explain to certain people [who are ignored] as to why, as if they're owed an explanation. And if it's so tedious, they can place me on their ignore lists like they're likely on mine.

He really would. He'd turn on everyone so fast, and I adore him for that.
