date: Friday, October 17, 2025 | Teresa Zimmerman, Danielle Paige | Phideaux Xavier Eva, put your googly eyes back into your head. Tomas made his [wrong] decision, so you should move on. You deserve to be the first choice and nothing but the first. So, the renewal is tonight? On the night both Nicole and Ted are getting served their final divorce decree? Wow. What a coinkidink. Katherine? A grown woman?! Aha. Delusional bitch that she is. Dana is delusional as ever, and her continued shenanigans will absolutely catch up with her. What a special gift from Nicole with the cufflinks and shirt buttons. It is chilly between Nicole and Ted, and I hate it. I really do. I appreciate those quiet moments between Bill and Naomi. He was saying all of the right things. Okay, I will not deny that vow renewal was cute... but he is still a deadbeat for doing what he did. Not Naomi reading Bill the riot act about his looking into Dani's marriage. Whoopsie. Everyone is noticing this. It is not so secret anymore. Poor Nicole. Sweetie, just admit you still love Ted and that you do not want the divorce decree to go through. Do it before it is too late. Did Tomas just smell Katherine's clothing? That is a bit too much for me in this specific moment. But Tomas speaking in Spanish? Mmm. That was sexy. Not Dana tripping the fire alarm. That was not cute, Dana. At all. Notes: I do not know if it has to do with Tracey Thomson coming in as co-executive producer, but the post-production has changed for the better. We have a less green look, and it is feeling a bit warmer and more natural, especially in the Richardson home and Fairmont Crest sets. Not Anna Mae! From Nutbush, Tennessee. I like that little nod. The "Anna" wig came out of retirement. I see. I see.

@Errol Do you know if they will be streaming the red carpet? It starts in sixty-six minutes.

Not sure who Penelope is, but she cannot act. Whew. Poor Naomi Matsuda having to carry two deadweights. Poor lady.

So, either Sharon Newman does not know her alphabet, or Sharon Case cannot pronounce Massachusetts, because she skipped some names.

@carolineg Another day, another count. 🤣

date: Thursday, October 16, 2025 | Sara A. Bibel, Lynn Martin | Phideaux Xavier The con artist child bride is wasting no time allowing her wicked ways and sinister ideas to come to light. Jacob is trying a bit too hard to persuade Naomi to keep the baby. Thai food? Not my thing, but it does sound delicious, especially if it is spicy. Sometimes spice can be delicious if done right. Oh Lord. Dani and Pamela need to watch more horror films and their parodies... you do not let Dani go up first! Ha. And not the "You've been robbed" line from Chelsea. Naomi continues to say the same thing, and it falls on the deafest of ears. Jacob needs to accept what he did when he married Naomi, unless he never did accept it? The con artist child bride is slapping it on a bit too thick; she needs to lessen the 'sweetness' a bit. Oh Chelsea, sweetie, you will be okay without all of those fashion items. I promise you will. It is not the end of the world. Pamela, dahling, what is it you have on your mind regarding Andre? Oh modeling. I see it. The con artist child bride is not being subtle at all, and it is glaring at this point. Wrapping up the 'special' cupcake in its own wrapping. Sweetie, for a con, you suck at it. Why do I feel like the family curse is code for he was never told about the babies, or it was not someone June expected to raise children with? Oops... thank goodness Naomi spat the 'special' cupcake out; otherwise, the con artist child bride would be on the hook for two murders! Smart of Naomi to go to Ashley about this. Okay, so that re-proposal was romantic, especially with Tyrell! Notes: There is no way they had Samantha playing with someone's leftover French fries and ketchup. Whew. It was a choice. I like the use of flashback inserts to tell stories without having to do it with "remember back when?" text. It is smart. I still love seeing June as a fixture at Orphey Gene's. Reminds me of wait staff I have known at restaurants that I always circle back to.

Pretty sure it was because Eric Braeden agreed to return to Victor, and Russ' Tucker was too close to that Victor-type role.
