Liberty City

date: Monday, September 22, 2025 | Teresa Zimmerman, Jazmen Darnell Brown | Michael V. Pomarico I think it is nice that Bill is wanting to have regular dinners with Naomi and Chelsea, and their respective partners. Just hoping he keeps it up. Douglas, you are approaching a very fine line with what you are suggesting and your ongoing behaviour. An Anita Dupree drag queen would be the one available to perform a drunken, regretful Vegas wedding for Andre and Dani. Well, we are revisiting the relationship with the deadbeat and Eva. Let us see how it goes. Anita in pure matriarch mode, whether as a mother or a grandmother, is such a beautiful fight to see. It is heartwarming to see Douglas and Vanessa begin to reconnect. I am just hoping it is not a 'too little, too late' situation. I do like the budding friendship between Caroline and Hayley, and I hope it will not end when Bill inevitably divorces Hayley by the year's end. Good on June for improving at her job; she definitely has the positive attitude needed for working with the public, especially in food service. Well, Andre just married the wrong woman. I wonder how long until an annulment can be filed. This is impulsive as frick. And it surely will not end well. Aw, June is adorable meeting Anita Williams. True fangirl moment right there. And I love seeing everyone be so supportive of her, as well. She needs more of that. Notes: I adore that Tamara Tunie (Anita) is playing a drag queen version of Anita. That is brilliant! And she is playing the frick out of it, too. Did we get the word 'orgasm' during the afternoon? Oh. I love that. I love that we are still not afraid to use language on this soap.

Catching up on the past two weeks of episodes. While I am happy that Andrew is being pushed towards someone who is not the battleaxe of Wendy, I hate that it is child-looking/acting Holly. He deserves better. Also, I am so far liking nü Elle Robinson. Definitely a different vibe, but enough time has passed that it works. It is just a shame we got this right at the end.

But they made LOVE! (You know that'll be Bradley Bell's delusional reasoning). Plus, I find it hard to believe she's pregnant this soon after raping Will.

Don't pay them any mind.

date: Friday, September 19, 2025 | Ron Carlivati, Judy Tate | Phideaux Xavier Bill looks a bit perturbed and dumbfounded at how chummy/close Joey and Vanessa are. But Vanessa is playing the role well. She loves this. Dana is continuing to play in the faces of the Duprees, and it is becoming off-putting. Find a new beat to play. Dani needs to lay off the alcohol and hope there are no guns around. I am going to need Eva to smack (literally) some sense into Dana: Ted does not want her, has never wanted her, and will never want her. She needs to move along. Of course Bill would sell out Douglas and flat-out tell Joey what he wanted. C'mon, Bill. Both Douglas and Randy absolutely suck at the meaning of 'hush-hush', especially Randy, who is meant to be keeping a low profile. TELL IT, EVA! TELL HER THE TRUTH! This is what this delusional whackjob needs to hear. I hate when people use their cell phones in dining areas, too. You are around people and with your own company. Have a conversation and be present, or stay home. A flashback montage of Andre and Dani already?! This is too much for a couple that has no longevity. Eva is playing both sides of the fence, and she better be careful, because one slip and it could end poorly for her. "Go screw yourself," go Miss Anita! Tell her where to go do that, too! And she is ready to take her earrings off? Oh, Miss Anita will not be played by Dana and her games. I love seeing this side of Anita Williams. Vanessa is putting up a mirror for Nicole, and it is something she needs to have in her life. I appreciate hearing more about Barbara's beginnings, despite it being for Dana's benefit. But this is a nice moment for a moment. Uh oh, we are about to get a Nicole versus Ted moment, and this is going to be good. Ah, another mention of the University! Hoping we get to see it soon. Not her having some Cinemax-level sex dreams on her couch. Damn. Poor Nicole is heartbroken. This is so unfortunate. So, so unfortunate. Notes: I could tell the 'writer' was today's breakdown writer with how fast-paced the first scenes were. Main titles within two minutes of the episode starting is insane. Thank goodness their scripts will be done at some point. I am sorry, but this hairstyle of Ambyr Michelle (Eva) is not working for me. I hope it is temporary, and her O.G. hairstyle returns. That was her best. I have said it before, and I am saying it again: the food at Orphey Gene's looks absolutely delicious, home-cooked, and fresher than fresh. I would like some immediately. As good as Trisha Mann-Grant (Dana) is at playing it up camp, I do love how subtle she can play the scripts, like in those scenes with Tamara Tunie (Anita).

I do wonder if the writing is going to shift again, although Eva always maintained she loves her "mawmuh", but not always what she does.

date: Thursday, September 18, 2025 | Christopher Dunn, Cheryl L. Davis | Michael V. Pomarico Aw, the child bride wants a drink... as if she did not "miscarry" a short bit ago. Never even pregnant. Ugh. Andre. Ditch Dani, go find Ashley, and be TOGETHER! That way, when Dani ultimately reunites with Bill, you will not be dragged down by it. Vanessa is getting so turned on by money laundering. Oh, have we got a budding criminal on our hands, and she wears it oh so well. Douglas, you are going to get yourself killed. And Randy is only trying to prevent it as much as possible. Tomas, you are doing too much for this ungrateful little brat bitch. You deserve way better. Speak on it, Randy! Speak the truth! Oh Vanessa, sweetie, if only you knew what Joey knows, because it would change your point of view. Not the move in question. Joey, you are not going to like her answer. I just know it. Randy, be careful: you are in public and trying to avoid Joey. This is going to attract attention you do not want. Tomas, you are doing too much for this ungrateful little, whiny, spoilt brat. She does not deserve this. Katherine is delusional and thinks it is all about her and her own point of view, and it is not. Entitled brat. So Vanessa used Joey's escort service? Interesting. But comfortable with your spouse? That is very, very telling. But there's nothing wrong with having a strong sexual appetite. I love a woman who knows what she needs. So, now Douglas is relying on Bill Hamilton to help fix his mess, I mean marriage? That is very interesting. At least it is not a couch this time... Andre and Dani are drunk in a very public place, and that is not a cute look for either of them. No, bitch, it is YOU! You ungrateful, spiteful, ignorant piece of trash. Tomas, dump her ass. You are better off without her. Period. PERIOD! ARGHHH. You did it again, you ungrateful bitch. Tomas, you absolutely deserve better than this trash. Notes: Christopher Dunn writes some outstanding breakdowns. He is not my favourite, but he is in the top three. It is a shame he is exiting his role. I can totally tell Lauren Buglioli (Vanessa) and Jon Lindstrom (Joey) enjoy working together, and it shows in their chemistry. Loving these two together. It is yummy soap goodness. This show knows how to direct and produce love scenes. They have got it down to a T.

I said what I said, and I stand by what I said. Perhaps if she wasn't such an annoying, self-entitled bitch, Eva wouldn't have had the chance to show Tomas what he DESERVES, which is a whole lot better than some snot-nosed bitch.
