The only example that I can think of is that doctor he ran out of town for allowing his mom to die from surgery complications. And I think he also chased that other guy out of town that had an affair with his now ex-wife. Other than that, I agree. They really need to start making him a lot more menacing and threatening. BTG should be taking a page or two from Law & Order: Organized Crime, (but of course it doesn't really need to be nearly as violent or gruesome as that show)

Sad to hear that Joe Don Baker has passed away. I loved the original version of Walking Tall and I've seen it multiple times. I remember watching it for the very first time at 13-years-old at my grandparents' house and being so enraptured by the film. At least he lived a pretty good and long life and he had a very solid and memorable career, so there's that. I hope he rests in peace.

Oh yeah, definitely! I actually like this storyline because it's very realistic and we are definitely starting to see the cracks in Ashley and Derek's relationship. I also like that they are finally starting to develop Ashley as a character and putting her in scenes with her mom Jan also helps a lot. I'm not so sure about Ashley and Andre as a couple though and I'm also still sort of on the fence about Andre/Dani too. Maybe if the writers continue to flesh out Ashley as a character and give her a real purpose outside of Derek and Jan I might eventually warm up to them as a couple if the writers actually intend for them to be a real thing long term. I'm not entirely convinced that Andre/Dani are in it for the long haul and I feel like they should have kept Andre as a womanizing lothario because at least he would have something of a personality.

Who do you think would be good for the show among the ATWT/GL cast?

Interesting. I definitely think that it's possible that Jan could be a former lover of Joey's from back in the day, maybe back when he was still married. I won't be surprised if it comes out at some point that Jan used to be an escort or something.

Is that even still possible? I thought that too at first but with Jan saying that she's never lied to Ashley about who her father is... Does Ashley even know who her dad is?

This was definitely one of the best episodes so far. So much to unpack. I'm really disappointed with Ted. I honestly thought that maybe he would come clean and maybe try to explain his side of things, but nope! He was denying everything. Also, I was not expecting to hear that Nicole and Leslie were pregnant at the same time. That can't simply be a coincidence. For a while I wasn't so sure of the fan theory that Kat and Eva might be twins or switched at birth but after today's episode I can't help but wonder if it might even be possible. If the writers really want Nicole to eventually warm up to Eva and accept her, I won't be surprised if it eventually turns out that they are actually twins and Leslie stole her or something. And I'll be honest, I actually really like the idea. I don't know where the writers are even going with the whole Ted/Nicole/Leslie thing, but if Ted doesn't end up having a drastic personality change with the recast, then I can eventually see Ted and Nicole reconciling. At the very least for the time being I can see Nicole asking Ted to move out and he ends up staying at a hotel for the time being until he gets his own place. If not... then I guess Dr. Carlton is waiting in the wings...

Okay... so Joey runs an escort service too? Looks like that's a detail that can give rise to potential future stories and plot twists. Yeah, I know that Joey is very scummy and diabolical and he's a horrible person, but he does have chemistry with Vanessa. Two things can be true and they don't have to be mutually exclusive. And am I horrible for secretly hoping that Joey somehow sticks around as a long term villain? I mean, Bill and Hayley can't be the only antagonists on canvas and we don't know how much longer Leslie is going to stick around once her scheme is unraveled. And I will say that Vanessa and Doug also have a lot of chemistry, which is surprising given the current state of their marriage. I also was not expecting Leslie to walk in on Kat taking a picture of the family photo with Leslie and Eva. I wonder what's going to happen to Kat now. I feel like the main reason why we really haven't had too many scenes with Chelsea and that couple is because TPTB might be worried about the potential backlash they might receive and how viewers might react. Just speculation.

I didn't even realize that New Jack Swing was an actual genre. You learn something new every day. I definitely think the show should build a family around Joey especially since he's got a lot of potential and he's a very interesting and compelling character. He's obviously being positioned to be the big bad of the show especially with the show softening up Bill lately. And since he's already mentioned an ex-wife, maybe they could introduce the ex-wife, (assuming she's actually an ex and not the actual wife), and their kids if he has kids at this point. Maybe those kids could be in the same age range as Kat/Chelsea/Naomi/Jacob/Tomas/Veronica and Doug's twins, etc. I would be fine with Tomas's family and Jacob's family serving as middle-class/working class people.

I got to say, I'm really impressed with Tamara Tunie's acting; I never realized until now just how good of an actress she really is. And until recently I only knew her from her recurring stint on Law & Order: SVU as M.E. Warner.

I noticed that Derek really seemed uneasy and uncomfortable with having his picture taken and also when Andre was interviewing him. I don't know if it's a character trait or what but it's something that I keep on noticing. No way in hell I'm walking away from this show. I already washed my hands of GH and Days; I am not giving up on this show too. Besides, it's still pretty new so hopefully there will be some improvements down the line. Oh yeah; Bill is definitely going to have a major medical crisis at some point. I also won't be surprised if it ends up happening in open court.

So if Chelsea is really going to quit modeling and go work in this fashion design company with her cousin Kat... I wonder when we're going to see Dani hire some new models? I mean, sooner or later there's going to be some sort of casting call for a new character that's going to be a model or something, right? Also I won't be surprised if eventually at some point down the line we're going to find out that Joey has some lost lost kids somewhere.

I'm not really surprised at how Florida turned out. Good for Wisconsin though. We definitely need more good news.

I'm probably getting a little bit ahead of myself but which couple do you think is going to have a baby first - Naomi and Jacob or Bill and Hayley? For some reason I feel like it's Bill and Hayley but I'd like to see Naomi give birth to another Dupree grandchild eventually.

Well, that's different from having a romantic interest. Honestly, since they are not using Nina that much anyway as a character, they should just ultimately write her off by having her go crazy and insane while ending things with a big bang. Big bonus if she somehow manages to have both Willow and Drew killed in the process.

I'll be very surprised if Nina is paired with anyone on this show ever again, especially since she's been so drastically back-burned over the last year or so and this show doesn't seem to have any real interest in her. I feel like Nina may more than likely remain single for the rest of her days or at least for as long as this show continues to be on air. Honestly I think she's better off single anyway and she is better off as a supportive friend and talk to than being a viable romantic interest to any potential leading man.

Amen! Then who the hell is her favorite kid then?

I also blame Jamey for that debacle. I'm still pretty sore and pissed about it to this very day. So utterly disrespectful and insulting to Philece Sampler's memory.

Color me shocked that Theresa actually apologized to Xander for what she did to him and Maggie. I was also kind of annoyed at Xander telling Theresa that she needed to stay away from Maggie, Sarah and Victoria. Seriously, if Maggie wants to continue having a relationship with Theresa and is willing to forgive her, (I don't know if that's the case at this point), then why should Xander interfere? She's clearly a grown woman. I was even more shocked that Alex actually didn't yell and scream at Theresa and called her an irredeemable piece of garbage like I thought that he was going to. Although I think Theresa should've apologized to Alex too. Are we sure that Ron is actually writing this stuff??? I highly doubt it. This has GOT to be the new writers.

You mean Mona?

I would fully be on board with a Shawn/Jada baby. Jada is actually a solid character and deserves so much better than to languish in a tepid and boring pairing with Rafe. Besides, Shawn and Belle are pretty much played out and they both need to move on from each other.

Is it me or does Theresa's exit sound final? It feels like the writers are basically closing the door on her as a character for good, which would explain Emily's comment about "tying up loose ends". I wonder what kind of life-changing news she gets that forces her to basically leave town on such short notice?

I'm glad that Theresa's aware that Brady may never forgive her for the incident with Victor's will. And I honestly don't think he should. I'm surprised that he even allowed her to hug him. I'm even more surprised that Theresa doesn't actually want Tate to give the baby away. I figured that with her being so horrified and appalled at potentially becoming a grandmother, that she would want Tate to get rid of the baby as soon as it's born.

If that's the case, then maybe it's time to cancel this show. The 60th year would be a good time to just end it at this point.

Yeah, the new writers have plenty of mess to clean up. Ron has ruined so many characters in his tenure that I don't know if any of them can be salvaged at this point.
