Liberty City

Or flat-out fired after 25 years at a company. 🤐

Not a return I had on my 'must-have' card... and if he turns out to be who I think he is... it could be good, but it would also be... recycled as frick.

Absolutely; I felt like when he debuted, there was slight chem-testing of him with Kirsten Storms, and I saw it then.

TV Insider is claiming he is not back as Nathan West.

Hence why Josh Swickard should have just been a Nathan recast; it would have shifted the role a bit, but it would have worked out.

date: Monday, August 18, 2025 | Michael Montgomery, Jazmen Darnell Brown | Anthony Pascarelli Confirmation: Dana's full name is Dana Leslie Thomas, so when she is 'Leslie', she is just using her middle name. Okay, Buffy Anne Summers tea. Nicole and Vanessa are four or five sheets to the wind; they are enjoying themselves, and I love that for them. Shocked that Ashley asked Shanice to be Derek's physical therapist; much like Ashley having a conflict of interest, would Shanice also not qualify for that, considering they have been semi-dating? A colleague at Uptown? Is this a setup so that Nicole can run into Ted? Well, Peaches came with receipts for Dana. Wow. Vanessa is not pleased to see Douglas with a drink in his hand and attached to his mouth. We have got Nicole meeting up with Madison... I would like to think this could be a work-based friendship that could blossom! "The whole truth according to Peaches." What a sentence; poor Eva is overwhelmed by what is going on, and I do not blame her. Look at Peaches flirting a bit and then giving some unsolicited advice that might just help Ted out where Nicole is concerned. Vanessa delivering the ultimate blow: keep her happy or she is cutting him off! Do it! Poor Derek... confined to a wheelchair... should have stopped trying to do more than your body was meant to do, or you should have been in better shape. Notes: I truly, deeply hope that the writers keep Shanice leveled out, because episodes like today prove she is much more accessible and likeable when she is not being the gossipy gossip or being unprofessional at work. And Ernestine Johnson can handle that kind of material. I just noticed: why the Hell is the pocket on Derek's hospital gown in the middle? So awkward. The music in the scene where Dana and Eva were celebrating was a bit too loud over the dialogue. They could have dialed it back a few.

And we used to shoot from within the fireplace? So many more angles that were filmed from during that first season.

With dining area, use of the overlook, and the original Forrester Creations set, too.

Jordi? Playing gay? Never in my wildest of dreams!

Technically, the outdoor façades at Assembly are meant to represent New York brownstones, Tribeca, European cities, and New Orleans. The one that is for the Richardson/Smith townhome is what they classify as their "New York" façade.

Ashley Jones (Bridget) showing the beach house and the Spencer home, plus a small preview of Liam's home. As well as the exterior/interior of the Forrester mansion.
