Liberty City

date: Tuesday, July 29, 2025 | Teresa Zimmerman, Lynn Martin | Phideaux Xavier I am beginning to wonder if June might be schizophrenic or suffer from a more serious mental condition that has gone untreated for several years. I adore what Andre is doing for Ashley; it is beyond romantic. He is a keeper! #Ashdre/#Andley for the win for me. Joey putting the moves on Vanessa (who is pretty in pink) while the innocent bodyguard just stands there! I understand why Regina is putting the pressure on June, as there is a lot of hurt there, but part of me feels like June has buried that part of her life so far down she cannot unearth it. I am glad Eva is onto the kind of mentality Dana is trying to sell. It will not work. Uh-oh, Katherine is fully disconnecting from Tomas already... this is not going to end well, is it? But I would like a sweet treat, Tomas! Andre is too smooth for words; he is smart-thinking, not taking her to the restaurant but ordering takeaway and creating Paris in his own personal space. Well, here comes Dougieboy ready to gamble his wife's money away, and he is cöckblocking Joey and Vanessa from getting it on! And he brought Drake, awesome! I love that Ashley was admiring Andre's photograph, which is very nice to see! The chemistry is fire! What the Hell is Douglas doing right now?! He is pushing buttons that should not be pushed. At all. Katherine is in trouble... and I am here for it. Here comes Ted laying down the law! Eva just connected the dots to what went down between Katherine and Tomas, and she is utterly crushed! Poor girl... always the second choice to others. Joey is about to bug Douglas' car, but why do I feel like this could backfire onto Vanessa at some point? I wish Katherine would stop lying to Tomas. Just be honest about how you feel about the experience. But Tomas is laying it on like extra-hold spray right now. Notes: Lauren Buglioli (Vanessa) is giving Elle Woods in her pink outfit. I love it. And she plays the Elle-lite type character extremely well. Someone who visually seems the 'dumb blonde' but is as smart as they come. I appreciate the split-screen phone call instead of just flipping back and forth between sets. Again, more unique production choices. Plus, the iPhone text template? The best of any soap. Trisha Mann Grant (Dana) continues to provide camp but not too much of it. She is just enough camp to not explode all over the canvas. Damn. Jon Lindstrom (Joey) would scare me enough that I would be soiling my boxer briefs. Keith D. Robinson (Ted) is MAGIC! This is how you do a recast! He embodies the role, and I love it; a range of emotions. Ambyr Michelle (Eva) continues to be a standout talent. If I were Michele Val Jean and company, I would keep her happy and lock her down when contract negotiations come around, because I could see her exiting for primetime and film.

I am pretty sure we have; I think Tyrell's bedroom is the dining area just redressed/filmed tightly to appear as if it is a separate set. To me, Orphey Gene's is the answer to Y&R's Crimson Lights; as for Java, the original set was beautiful (so small by the end) and it seemed the shift on the Diner was more used in those final years.

I am okay with Naomi not having an office, based on the kind of law work she does; she willingly turned down a chance at working at Bill's law practice, so her having an office would contradict that decision.

I am here for Gizelle, but I can do without the other one; she should have been 'rested' after her first season.

It is episode one hundred today.

Considering Josh Griffith has never had a long-term vested interest in the character of Chance, I am not surprised this was the direction he ultimately took with the role. Conner Floyd honestly deserved better as an actor, and I am hopeful his time as Chad DiMera will be more rewarding.

Totally not the crossover I was imagining, but I am excited about this.

Except, in this situation, this is not a Friday promo. It's not the one that aired at the conclusion of Friday's episode. It is a spoiler.

I think, in terms of appeal, Fenn would have been a more viable follow-up to Roseanne and Sally Struthers in terms of campiness.

Some may not have seen the promo, or do not watch promos; if it has not happened, in-episode, it is considered a spoiler.

Mm-hmm. Gagnier confirmed she was called by Mark Teschner if she was available the next day and then was filming the next day. So, I am pretty sure a rewrite was unavoidable.

Holly Gagnier (ex-Jennifer, GH, et al.) just revealed her casting was a last-minute replacement for Sherilyn Fenn (Twin Peaks), who had to drop out, due to a family emergency

<< the face of a woman ready to be "Mrs Drew Cain"

date: Monday, July 28, 2025 | Gregori J. Martin, Jazmen Darnell Brown | Sonia Blangiardo-Goins Ashley versus Shanice is going to be good, especially since it is an in-job conflict. So, Dana cannot get a job nor pay for the meal she invited Eva out for? If you cannot pay, then do not invite! Easy as that. Poor Katherine has nothing but regret filling her face, and I hate this for her. So the woman Naomi called was Regina? Interesting. I love the continued flirting between Andre and Ashley. The chemistry is fire, and it is so easy-going! Yes!!! Good to see Ted doing his work. Just a shame it is being done in his temporary living situation where Ms Dana can and does show up whenever she damn well wants. So, Dana wants money and for Ted to keep another secret? No, thank you. And good on Ted for saying no, too. Oh, Ms Regina is not having it right now. She wants nothing to do with this. I can tell. It looks like Andre wants to take Ashley out, and I hope she goes. She deserves to be pampered by a real man who admires and wants her. How does one blow $50,000? That is insane. Good, Ted, continue threatening Dana. It is not getting through that thick skull of hers. Single-handedly? What about Alan? Does he not rank in your life, Dana? I definitely feel like Katherine's expectation versus reality of sex is what she is experiencing right now. It does not sound like there is love lost between June and Regina; in fact, it sounds like she is happy to not have June in her life at all. But that photo... of the children... could we [finally] be getting an answer to this mystery? Ashley wants to go to Paris?! I do not blame her, because Paris looks outstanding. Ron and Cecile? So they are her children, and they ended up in the system. Interesting. You are right, Dana: Eva IS smarter than this... to trust you and align herself with you. Ugh. Shanice. You are annoying as fück. And beyond unprofessional and petty. Get a grip. Caroline is seeing that post-sex glow from Tomas! Kind of love it. Is Eva trying to provide a workaround for the money? Honey, please stop trying to help Dana out. She set you up, locked you in a closet, and cost you damn near everything in your life. Andre pulling out all of the stops, short of traveling to Paris, for Ashley? I would fall head over heels in this moment. So sweet! Speaking of June... like clockwork, here she comes! Stunned to see Regina, but of course!! Notes: GoFundMe! Again, more real-world references are being mentioned! The music in Orphey Gene's is so easy to listen to. It is a complete vibe. A condom wrapper! What a surprise! So we do have safe sex in the daytime! Yes! And... was that a Magnum wrapper? Ooh, la-la! I appreciate more real conversations happening on this soap. It is a breath of fresh air from the usual bull we endure in American soaps. Jacinte Blankenship (Regina) is doing well at being emotionally removed, but when she is meant to be emotionally available, she is still a bit cold. I wonder if it is an intentional acting choice. Ambyr Michelle (Eva) is a star! She owns the role she portrays. Andre has a place to live! It is a very chic set and suits him.

I don't see West going anywhere right now, thankfully.

I'm not surprised; Griffith never gave a damn about the character, and wasted Floyd as an actor.

For me, Alegria embodies what Tomas is to be. Whereas Claybon is swallowed by the material and is carried by his co-stars, much in the same way Marcus Coloma was on GH as Nikolas.

Bold but I made it, and I stand by it.

I am glad the contract was approved. Congratulations to the all of those involved.
