Liberty City

I did not get that at all.

week ending May 23 Monday, May 19, 2025 – Episode #055 Derek and Ashley reach a breaking point, Dani finally defines the line between sex and something more, Doug scrambles to cover his lies before they destroy everything, and Leslie proves she’s not going down without a fight. Tuesday, May 20, 2025 – Episode #056 Anita opens the door to her past, Ashley’s heartbreak threatens to undo her, and Eva leans into the one person who believes her. Wednesday, May 21, 2025 – Episode #057 The Duprees navigate heartbreak and hard truths as Eva makes a fateful choice about her mother, Ashley and Derek confront what’s left of their love, and Chelsea opens up about who she is — even if it hurts. Thursday, May 22, 2025 – Episode #058 Eva pushes back against her mother’s delusions, Anita and Tracy unpack old wounds, and Nicole, Ted, and Kat confront a chilling possibility: what if Leslie’s lies are just the beginning? Friday, May 23, 2025 – Episode #059 Anita and Tracy finally confront the betrayal that tore them apart; Ted corners Leslie with a devastating accusation; Doug begins to connect the dots about Joey's "friendship" with his wife; and Martin's lack of communication frustrates Smitty.

Not to mention, there are an equal number of men versus women in each opening: seven women and five men (including the core four Duprees).

You might be going crazy and overthinking, because that's not how it goes. 🤣 Right now, it's the Hamiltons versus the Richardsons in the openings, with Alex Alegria/Buglioli/Ben Gavin with the Richardsons (Opening B), while Jen Jacob is with the Hamiltons (Opening A). Opening A: Brandon Claybon Timon Kyle Durrett Marquita Goings Jibre Hordges Jen Jacob Mike Manning RhonniRose Mantilla Arielle Prepetit Opening B: Alex Alegria Lauren Buglioli Sean Freeman Ben Gavin Trisha Mann-Grant Ambyr Michelle Colby Muhammad Keith D. Robinson By your reasoning, the opening should be (and would make zero sense): Opening A: Alex Alegria Lauren Buglioli Brandon Claybon Timon Kyle Durrett Sean Freeman Ben Gavin Marquita Goings Jibre Hordges Opening B: Jen Jacob Trisha Mann-Grant Mike Manning RhonniRose Mantilla Ambry Michelle Colby Muhammad Keith D. Robinson Arielle Prepetit

All depends, really. Whichever opening had Johnson would have had to change; it's not like he was in both openings.

Maria Howell is Tracy, per today's end credits.

Tuesday, May 20, 2025 – Episode #15716 The who's who of Port Charles arrives on the Nurses’ Ball red carpet. Lucy fields a crisis. Anna gets an idea. Portia receives an offer of friendship.

Josslyn has some choice words for Willow. Thursday, May 22, 2025 – Episode #15718 The Nurses Ball continues, and secrets explode. Drew is confident. Ned and Olivia issue a warning.

Mac is relieved. Trina is worried. Carly receives an offer.

She didn't want a hotel room; doubt she's going to want the apartment room, either. There was no reason to re-arrange the other one. This was the most logical move.

date: Friday, May 16 | Gregori J. Martin, Lynn Martin | Phideaux Xavier Anita and Vernon versus Bill – I love it. Is Vanessa a dominatrix? That's kind of kinky, and Cody seems to love it, too! I love seeing Dana and Ted's dynamic right now; you can sense some kind of passion, and it's differing on both sides. I appreciate us building a connection between Bradley and Nicole. So, we've got the names of the Articulettes: Anita, Sharon and Tracy. A one-night-only kind of performance. Hoping they can pull this off. Dani and Pamela are a hoot together; I love their banter, and I'm so happy to see this friendship continuing to develop on screen. The anvil of Jacob and Naomi liking June being around; that's got to lead to something, no? Douglas, stop playing powerball with Joey. So Nicole wants to sell the house? Girl is jumping over divorce and right to the settling of the assets; thankfully, Vanessa has the keen sense to deny the offer to list the property. Notes: I like seeing different connections being built between characters right now: Bill and Bradley, Dani and Pamela, and Nicole and Vanessa. It's nice seeing things settling. I loved the scene of Pamela cooing over Joey's Instagram, given Cady McClain and Jon Lindstrom's real-life relationship history.

Was confirmed months ago.

It's giving Ashley as "type A" personality, while Derek is giving "type B" personality, and they're clashing.

It's very smart, even if I don't love the choice of content creators. And it's hilarious Daphnée keeps doing lives on Instagram, when she's admitted she isn't the best of them.

ENOUGH WITH THE VIOLIN. I'M READY TO BURN IT.

date: Thursday, May 15 | Teresa Zimmerman, Judy Tate | Anthony Pascarelli Uh-oh, trouble is a-brewin' between Bill and Dana. What could come out of them meeting up? Derek is a complete slob; I'd dump him over it. I really would. I appreciate that Ted is not running away from his actions nor trying to really excuse them. He's accepting them. But I need more responsibility to be owned up to. Bill just read Dana to filth about her names and wigs, and I kind of love it. They definitely are giving villainous lovers to me. Ashley isn't this loose or at ease with Derek... but she is with Andre. This is proof that Andre is the guy for her! And just as I wanted to try and forgive Ted, he goes and tries to gaslight Naomi in defence of Bill. Ouch... imagine your "mom" forgetting it was your birthday. How horrible. Eva deserves better. Eva, you should've kept your mouth shut... because you just put Laura's accident back on Dana's mind. Once again, Katherine is smarter than a lot of soap cops; she may be in the business with Chelsea, but she should be going out for detective. And I am sure no one will believe her again. June is still being June; I pray she does not change to appease others. If my boyfriend keeps having to come to me after things have happened... that is a red flag to me that there is something wrong in our relationship. So, Dana does not like the word "crazy", does she? Because, if the shoe fits... maybe she would prefer clinical terms instead? The Dupree grandchildren love recording things they likely shouldn't be. Audio. Video. It's a trend/character trait. Yes, Dana has a very vivid account... let that speak volumes, Katherine. Do not fall for this bitch's scheme again. You know the truth. Seek it. Notes: "The role of..." voiceover is back, and I couldn't be happier about it. I miss those voiceovers so much. Welcome aboard, Keith D. Richardson, because you are excellent! Hitting the ground running, emoting, and most importantly, no rocking or swaying while you're meant to be still.

I don't mind her in the role. At all.
