Liberty City

@carolineg Mumbles nor the A.D.A. are on today, but your other issue is. 😘

I found zero issues with Joshua Morrow today; if anything, Sharon Case was distracting and overdoing it with her acting. She is who I found a complete issue with. Also does not help her face was blown up while crying. Whew.

date: Wednesday, October 15, 2025 | Ron Carlivati, Jazmen Darnell Brown | Michael V. Pomarico Dani's continued badgering and name-calling of Ashley reeks of jealousy. Just own up to the fact that Ashley is the one that Andre is meant to be with, give Andre a divorce and/or annulment, and call it a day. Judging from how Bill and Caroline are reminiscing, Dani was an attentive, supportive wife. The child bride is nothing like that. So the child bride is full-out playing Bill? I kind of called it from the beginning, and it is nice [finally] seeing those layers being peeled back after playing the doting wife for so long. If I were Nicole, I would slap the shït out of Katherine's bitch-ass face for speaking out of the side of her mouth in the way she did. Gross behaviour. I would be embarrassed to be her parent. Not Dana showing up in her dated, ass waitress outfit. That is desperate. She needs to read the damn room: Ted(dy) does not want you or your crazy ass! Mrs Shamilton? Dani has nicknames for days, I see. So, the child bride runs cons on wealthy individuals, with Randy's assistance? So, is her name even Hayley? The child bride/con artist wants her payday, and she wants it now... see, Bill, this is why you should have kept it in your pants! Not running a con for years, so this flat-out confirms, to me, that the child bride/con artist was never pregnant in the first place. OH SNAP! So, the nurse at the hospital was in on it? Damn... this con has been running deep since before day one. Nicole, sweetie, you easily could have taken your hypocritical, annoying bitch of a daughter to your office to have this conversation. Not in the seated area by the nurse's station! OH! She wants Bill Hamilton to die?! Not the life insurance policy deal. This is giving me Snapped vibes, and I am here for it. Not Caroline listing everyone who Bill has fired for telling it to him straight; whew, Bill does not play like that. Dana is playing her same old tricks: not accepting when someone says "no". That is not cute, sweetie pie. Not Randy setting the plan in motion to end Bill's life... just as Bill is opting to remain in his marriage to his con artist cousin. Notes: Ugh. Second day in a row with a breakdown by the writer. Scenes are so choppy when they do breakdowns, but Brown, much like Cheryl L. Davis, did his very best to turn it into gold. He is definitely one of their strongest scriptwriters, and I am so glad he (along with Davis) is sticking around for the next 200+ episodes! Welcome aboard, Tracey Thomson! Lovely to have you here with us! Love the use of flashbacks in Hayley/Randy explaining their con, as well as the newly shot scenes filling in some blanks. That is brilliant, brilliant work, and how you use flashbacks to piece together your story. Today's episode is clearly for the naysayers/negative annoyers who think they do not plan their storylines ahead of time because the reveal came together perfectly, and the payoff was worth it. Classic soap telling.

I mean, Katherine Kelly Lang's bra/bodysuit was visible, and it should not be. Not to mention, the way in which they keep dressing Rebecca Budig is laughable, at best.

Writers: Ron Carlivati Jazmen Darnell Brown Director: Michael V. Pomarico ** First episode with Tracey Thomson credited as co-executive producer and co-head writer.

As of October 15, 2025: Tracey Thomson is credited as executive producer and co-head writer.

Their costume design head needs to be replaced. I would love to see Glenda Maddox return, who was the costumer from 2015 to 2021.

Cohen is recurring, per the October 15 end credits.

Braun is recurring, per the October 15 end credits.

They just pulled off a big return without a single leak; kudos to the team at Hollyoaks for achieving that. Not an easy feat in today's age.

That nurse did not give a single fück about Sharon in that moment. She walked in, delivered news, and went off to do more important things, I guess. 🤣

Good; send it back to ESPN full-time at this point.

He did with Josh Swickard. #Charrison should've been IT!

It's been explained why there have been limited sets. 🤣🤣🤣 And it's far from a place to care about. It won't change. Move over that hill.

Surprised to learn the show was planning to recast Caroline Spencer after Joanna Johnson chose to exit the role; I wonder what ultimately changed in that decision. Hmmm

Oh, he pops up, too! 🤣

Do not know if this was posted, but prior to being cast as Felicia Cummings on General Hospital in 1984, Kristina Wagner (then-Malandro) auditioned for All My Children and Ryan's Hope.

I suspected it was a "play" this whole time.

@carolineg Mumbles and A.D.A. are both on today, but not together (thus far). The third piece of the puzzle also does not appear to be on.

date: Tuesday, October 14, 2025 | Ron Carlivati, Cheryl L. Davis | Anthony Pascarelli It is kind of cute to see Anita have phone call kiki's with Jackie Tyree, but Vernon looks petrified at the invitation to Thanksgiving dinner. That could be a hoot and a holler, though! Samantha, calm your ass down... you are far too jumpy. But if this is what Bradley and the deadbeat want, then go for it. Whew... the child bride is coming in hot, and Andre has very little patience for her shenanigans (as evident by calling her "lady" in a way which is not a compliment). Uh-oh. Vanessa is pissed off. Watch out, Joey. I have a feeling you will not be able to handle a pissed-off/turned-down Vanessa. The continued noise, caused by Dana's incoming 'shouse', has to be one of the best running gags, ha. The child bride is telling some white lies she is hoping to make herself believe to Andre about her marriage. Not Samantha trying to nab a glass of wine with her dinner. Girl, do not give yourself away like that. Not Vanessa ignoring what Joey is hinting at. She is fully thinking with her nunu and not her head. And not a job... whew. Vanessa, rein in Joey and stop this foolishness. Now, I knew Joey and Vanessa would be caught [again] at the casino, but I did not expect it to be that character. Wow. What a thoughtful gift from Dani to give Bill: the original key to the office space, with the dates inscribed. But it is an old present. Whoops. How sweet of Vernon to reserve Orphey Gene's for him and Anita. Now, that is pulling some weight with power and prestige. June is excelling at her job at Orphey Gene's, and I love seeing that for her. Poor Randy; witnessing this between Joey and Vanessa and then having to play it cool. Joey knows what a mind game this is and is playing it to the best of his abilities. Uh-oh, that's right, child bride: your husband wants his true wife... Dani Dupree Hamilton! So, Vernon does not play about sweet potato pie, I see. Bill remembering better times; loved it! i KNEW RANDY AND THE CHILD BRIDE WERE RELATED! I just did not see it as cousins... but damn, she has that Parker bite! Whew... I cannot wait to see where this goes from here. Notes: Ugh. Another breakdown by the writer. Scenes are so choppy when they do breakdowns, but Davis did her very best to make something work. Karla Mosley (Dani) is delicious in the role. You can tell she is having the time of her life, more so than in any other roles she has done in daytime. Hot dinner going onto a hot table should be placed on a place setting on a dining room table, not direct-to-table like Bradley did. Whew. But what a delicious-looking dinner and side. Seeing June continuing to be a prominent figure at Orphey Gene's makes it feel more home-like. I enjoy it. The turning down of the stage lights during Anita and Vernon's dance felt like a stage production, and I loved it. Timon Kyle Durrett (Bill) and Mosley shine in scenes together. I also loved how Dani's fashion fit the time when the law office would have been given to Bill as well!

I hope this is an outcome that Arianne is happy with; no one should have had to go through what she (and the others on that set) had to endure at the hands of that abusive P.O.S.
