Liberty City

original release date: Friday, February 13, 2026 | writers: Sara A. Bibel, Cheryl L. Davis | director: Anthony Pascarelli Thoughts: Bill definitely has an inkling that It looks like Lia Whitmore is about to have her hands full because Carlton seems like he is getting ramped up once again. Calm down, sir. Dani, darling, what is going on to cause you to be reacting like this? It is not good. At all. Lia looks like she does not appreciate Carlton's demeanour right now and would rather push it off on someone else. No nonsense. We love to see it in our Chief of Staff. So Lia and Shanice are entangled together? Interesting. That is right, Hayley. Watch out because I sure as Hell know Ms Lynette could and would steal Bill away from you in a heartbeat. Poor Dani is overreacting at this point. She has got to take a breath and realise this is her decision to make, and it does not feel rushed or hasty. Ooh, Ms Lia is eavesdropping and definitely peeping on the shenanigans happening in her hospital. We do love to see it happen. This is going to be juicy, juicy, juicy. Reporter #1 is nasty in a sweet burnt orange suit. At least Reporter #2 is a bit more optimistic. She wants that Eye on Fashion exclusive. Why do I get the sense that Lynette and Randy had a one-time thing together? I am sensing some underlying tension between the two of them. Dani is a natural-born salesperson. She has this in the bag to sell Tatum's new clothing line. Damn, Reporter #1 is ruthless. That was below the barrel. What publication is he with? Nasty News? BA-BHAM! Dani just shut that reporter down so effortlessly, and I know that everyone watching that livestream absolutely is buying into it, and that Tatum's line will get attention for it. Ooop... not Randy denying Lynette's advances. That is just going to make her work twice as hard to get back into his good graces and his pants. I hate that Nicole is being made to feel this way when nothing in her personal life has crossed into her professional life. No more than when Ted's cheating because public knowledge. At least she has been showing up to work. Notes: Bibel and Davis are perfectly paired, and it seems to be their go-to pairing. I like it. A lot. Cecelia Sprecht (Lia) is cünty as fück. She clearly is a no bullshït kind of lady. I love it. We love seeing a hospital Chief of Staff that takes their job seriously and does not püssyfoot around. A side-set for the hospital? OK. I like it. A nice switch-up, just off of the Nurse's hub, is smart and works.

I don't think any living soul was rooting for Curtis, except for Donnell.

She seems strong in the role, which I feel I am going to like. And given that this is a definitive timeline role, I look forward to seeing how it all plays out!

I'd rather see Carole do an Ultimate Girls Trip.

original release date: Thursday, February 12, 2026 | writers: Natalie Minardi Slater, Skyy Sandifer | director: Michael V. Pomarico Thoughts: A steaming hot cup of Joe(y)? Dana doing too much once again. Vanessa is ready for the piping hot tea that Nicole is about to spill concerning the shift from Carlton to Kial. Damn, Carlton. Beyond rude just because you cannot keep your own jealousy/personal life out of your work one? Unprofessional. Good on Ted for calling him right out! Tame him! Kial is multi-talented? Oh-la-la, I love hearing this! Get it, Nicole! Get that talent! You deserve it. Not Randy clocking Hayley for her mugging scheme. That is hilarious. Love how supportive Vanessa is of Nicole, especially given how doubtful Nicole had been of Vanessa's relationship with Joey. I really appreciate the honest conversations Shanice and Ted keep having. It shows there is understanding on both sides, and I hope it does lead to something more in the future. Dana wanting the intel on Marcel's wife is hilarious. You would think she would be able to obtain this herself, via one of her multiple disguises. And Joey having none of it? And mentioning a therapist and joking about it being Nicole? That is hilarious to me. Damn, Bill. He is coming down hard on both Caroline and Tomas. It is very disappointing to see Hayley setting up these two innocents because of Hayley's motives. GO VANESSA GO! Set Dana straight and assert yourself. I love it. So much. Tomas is thinking right. But it could end up getting him hurt or wrapped too much into Hayley's con, which would be a bad thing. I like seeing Nicole and Ted having a cordial separation and that they are able to respect their boundaries as exes. Go, Shanice. Set Carlton right! Lynette is going to get what she is owed and is going to use Hayley to do it. But they are both dumb, continuing to get caught together. Notes: So glad it is a Paige day, because she does exceptional dialogue. This month has been very limited in the varied number of directors. I wonder if something has changed behind-the-scenes or if it simply came down to certain people not being available. The 2026 wardrobe budget is budgeting for Keith D. Robinson (Ted). He looks much more tailored than he did last year, and that makes me very happy. Lauren Buglioli (Vanessa) is delicious. I love seeing her continue to work! Dominique Madison (Lynette) is just too good. Dare I say... I almost wish she had been cast as Hayley and Marquita Goings had been kept for Lynette.

So, we have a wedding in the showroom before an actual fashion show? Pathetic. 🤣

Clearly trying to give Suzanne something to do when the easily could have returned Melissa. Hell, even Sarah would've been a choice. But creating a brand-new daughter for the simple fact of rehiring an actor? Nope.

I agree; showing skin does not make her a skank, a ho (hoe is a gardening tool), or loose. It's completely sexist to make these comments about a woman. Truly. And in 2026? Only in Trump's America.

Sorry but it looks cheap and boorish, with bad acting and writing. 😬 This trend of micro-dramas for social media is ridiculous.

original release date: Wednesday, February 11, 2026 | writers: Jamey Giddens, Danielle Paige | director: Michael V. Pomarico Thoughts: Francesca is just as nasty and snot-nosed as her grandmother. And not Anastasia calling her 'little orphan Samantha'. Whew. That is a huge hair across a bony ass. I love how horny Vernon is and how much he wants to be with his wife. Mmm, Nicole is playing her field exceptionally well. We love to see it. Goddamn, Dani. Not even teenagers are safe from your quick quips and sharp tongue. We love seeing it. Nice to see Samantha own up to her poor decisions, especially where Nathan was once regarded. Now, let's beat the Belleclaires! Uh-oh. It looks like Carlton is none too pleased to see Nicole is taking her non-dating status as freely as she is. Carlton, jealous is not a cute look on you. Be confident and secure. That is what is sexy. Jessica's disillusionment about learning to dance is hilarious. It is such a tomboy/teenage move. I love it. Vernon and Anita are smooth. Smooth like buttah! I love seeing them just get lost in each other's eyes. Why is Bill suddenly in the mood to be with Hayley? This seems like a setup to me. Genuinely. I love the confidence that Anita is trying to give Jessica. And naming her as an honorary Dupree? What an amazing blessing. Nicole danced so much that she wants to experience Kial... in his full glory, as do we all! Get it, mama! Notes: So glad it is a Paige day, because she does exceptional dialogue. We LOVE a Janet Jackson reference. Put some respect on that name. Daphnée Duplaix (Nicole) is playing her character with such an air this year, and it is refreshing to see. Not showing Camryn Jade's (Jessica) walk says that they are alluding to Jessica being named the crowning deb for the Cotillion. I am calling it now. Greg Vaughan (Kial) is so delicious. Whew. It is getting hot up in herre!
