original release date: Friday, February 20, 2026 | writers: Michael Montgomery, Skyy Sandifer | director: Michael V. Pomarico Thoughts: Vernon is in overprotective mode and I do not blame him. So sweet of Mona to extend her congratulations to Chelsea and Madison on their engagement, and damn, that engagement ring is beautiful! Madison has some good taste. Dang. Every single Dupree woman loves to go in on Anatasia, who keeps mentioning how Samantha is Dupree adjacent. Gross behaviour. But love that Nicole did not let it deter her from her focus on bringing down Anastasia and diagnosing her at the country club. Ms Mona is crushing on Randy; I have a feeling this could be a good thing or a bad thing. She wants that bad – down bad – to the point of inviting him to church. Not Dana accusing Anita of abusing substances. That is lowbrow. Wow. I am GAGGING at Vanessa's excitement over Samantha not having an escort and Nicole choking on her drink. That was hilarious. I have not laughed like that in a bit. Gossip dressed up like concern? Oh, that is a good line. Anita served with that. Mona's "have a blessed day" was giving the equivalent of "Bless her heart," haha. So Bill's donation came with a branch of the research opportunity in Fairmont Crest? That is quite interesting but also nice that he did that for both Chelsea and Madison. Donnell as Samantha's escort? That is a brilliant idea! Notes: Montgomery writes a solid breakdown and today was no exception. Much better flow than yesterday's breakdown. As someone who is not religious in the slightest, I do appreciate some background on Lent and those traditions.

It is brutal; it took the brilliance of the series but did not have the restraint of a network (ABC).

Fire Walk with Me is a masterclass and I'd love to see it in theatres one day.

I absolutely agree. Plus, let's be honest, had Valarie Pettiford come on as a new role, there would have been backlash, and some would even say, "She should have been cast in X role". And I agree; she turned the role into much more of an ongoing recurrence, which I like.

You yourself wrote: "I am hearing" is not confirmation, and per the board's administrator, it is requested those kinds of posts not be made. Not once did I mention this Zoom you keep tirelessly mentioning and persistently posting about ad nauseam. That is what I was referencing. And for the record, you do not know what I do or do not pay for, so making that assumption was quite a choice on your part.

"I am hearing" is not confirmation, which means it should not be posted. Are we really going back to this again?

Per today's end credits, Gayle King will appear as herself sometime within the next week.

original release date: Thursday, February 19, 2026 | writers: Jamey Giddens, Cheryl L. Davis | director: Sonia Blangiardo-Goins Thoughts: Regardless of the chemotherapy, that speciality menu at the country club just does not sound appetising. My stomach bubbled just hearing what was being made. Tomas meeting with Lynette? I wonder what he is trying to accomplish. Sneaky, sneaky, sir. Colour me surprised that Naomi showed up at the hotel room to check in on Hayley. Any feelings she may be feeling will be gone once the truth absolutely comes out. Dana really needs to back off of Anita and Vernon; the Articulettes are not going to be interested in connecting with her regardless of the prize package she may have won, and this is really not helping Anita's stress level. I am still not buying Elon's honest support of Jacob being part of this latest investigation; it does feel as if he is setting his son up. I cannot and will not shake that feeling in my intuitive gut. Oh, the way I would be dragging Dana from my table for her attitude and the poor manner in which she is handling herself. Looks like Randy is about to put his plan into motion... at Uptown of all places. Let's be smarter about meeting places. Dana? Sensitive? If she is sensitive, then I am a heterosexual. And not her virginity story causing both Anita and Vernon to immediately lose their appetite. Moving out? I know Jacob is likely trying to protect Naomi from the mess he is about to get mixed up in but it does worry me. Lynette is shaken by Randy's words. Oh, girlfriend was not thinking properly about this. Notes: I knew today would be a writer2 day. I could just tell from those opening scenes. Their worst breakdown writer. CUT THEM and hire someone more capable, please! For career con artists that Hayley, Lynette, and Randy claim to be, their continued public meetings are becoming a bit much. You would think they would understand how problematic and attention-drawing those can be. The re-dressing of the Hawthorne set is very nice; I would not be upset if the bedroom did not return and they kept the set the way it is now. Much more versatile.

I agree; sections are going to become way too messy in my opinion.

Considering the Beyond the Gates crossover already filmed, I doubt it.

Truly outstanding if you ask me!

They do in the spoilers section, not this thread.

original release date: Wednesday, February 18, 2026 | writers: Natalie Minardi Slater, Danielle Paige | director: Steven Williford Thoughts: Ugh. Hayley is such a whinebag. If you did not want to be under Bill's dutiful eye, then you should not have let Lynette suckerpunch you outside of Uptown. Love seeing Ashley and Grayson all giddy with each other. Their relationship is budding and blossoming beautifully. Bill would rely on Joey to assist him in finding the 'thug' who beat on his poor wife. Get it, Tomas. Confront that con artist child bride over her so-called choices. Nicole and Dani semi-mocking each other is hilarious. That sisterly bond runs deep. Shanice and Ted being like giddy school kids in those honeymoon stages of dating is super cute, and I love it for them. Derek, why the HELL are you on a date with an Ashley lookalike? That is psychopathic behaviour. Already taking after your new boss, I see. And she is way too uppity and try-hard. Not a cute look. At all. It is super sweet of Ashley to do the research that she did. However, it may have been slightly on the borderline of 'crossing the line'. Tavia? Tavia? What a name. But good on Shanice for providing some profound advice and friendship. Bachelor number three? Oh, Ms Nicole! You get yourself yours! Wow. Look at you, Ashley, giving some very sound advice to Carlton and also calling him out on his B.S.! We do love to see it. I love seeing Ashley and Grayson having such an honest conversation and owning up to some of their flaws. How refreshing. A little Febreze? Nicole. You are practically drenched in that spray attack. Carlton, you are a moron. Pretend you have never seen it and go with Nicole! Suck it up, sir! You are moving down my ranking. Caroline's loyalty to Bill should never fall by the wayside. She is deserving of so much more than she gets in her everyday life. And I know her friendship with Hayley is very much one-sided, but I like seeing them reconnect. Randy, your web of conspirators is going to be your downfall. Guess you will need to visit Lynette in her hotel room, woo her, and get the ring back. Notes: Minardi Slater is quickly becoming my favourite breakdown writer, likely due to her long-standing in the American daytime community. And pairing her with Paige, one of their best scriptwriters? A winning day! Kudos to Williford for continuing to display excellent directorial decisions; the new angle of the nurse's station at Garland Memorial is outstanding. And the lighting on this soap continues to be top-notch level as well. Beautiful! I see P&G are upping their sponsorship and product placement again. I am not mad at it, because it is quite a nice gag. Jen Jacob's (Ashley) fresh highlights are stunning on her and very flattering. She and Jordi Vilasuso (Grayson) just spark as a paired couple.
