Wow, they really wasted Lucky in this latest return. How could they botch it up like that? And I really hate what they've done with Nina. So she's going to betray the one person who's done nothing but be kind and loving to her after having moved past the fact that she pretended to be her long lost daughter for someone who isn't even worth it at this point? There is really no coming back for Nina, is there? I honestly won't be surprised if both Sasha and Willow end up disowning Nina and cutting her out of their lives for good. And Nina is going to be even more of a pariah and social outcast than she already is. Honestly, if the writers are going to make the entire town hate Nina, they might as well make her a full blown villain at this point and have her actually own it. Maybe losing Willow and the kids forever might finally prompt Nina to embrace her dark side and go full steam ahead with her villain era. At least make her the kind of villain people can get behind and enjoy, not... whatever this is. On the other hand, Willow delivering Sasha's kid in court is actually an interesting twist. Wonder what Sasha is going to name her daughter now?

If Barbara overdosed on pills then I definitely think it could possibly be construed as an accident. Otherwise then I don't really see it. It could also be likely that Barbara was just simply forgotten about and faded into obscurity because she was left behind and it was the other Articulettes that became famous. Also what I meant by earth-shattering was that Ted and Nicole's marriage is on the rocks and Martin, Kat and Nicole still haven't really fully forgiven Ted for what happened. Then again, maybe I'm just being a bit hyperbolic. I mean, Nicole still hasn't even decided whether or not she wants to file for divorce and actually I'm kind of surprised that subject has not been broached upon yet.

Holy hell, this episode... I had a lot of theories about what Anita's secret entailed, but I didn't think it involved this. What happened to Barbara was extremely tragic. Is that why Sharon is so angry with Anita? Because she basically holds her responsible for Barbara taking her own life? Wait, does Sharon even know? She has to know, right? I can't even imagine the kind of ramifications this is going to have on the entire town, let alone Anita's family. What are they going to think of her when they find out what really happened between Anita and the other Articulettes? What is Vernon going to think? I doubt he's going to be too happy about what Anita did? I wonder if Anita is going to feel so filled with guilt and shame over what she did that she might even attempt to take her own life. People think that Ted cheating on Nicole and having an illegitimate child was earth-shattering? I think this is going to be even more so, or maybe on the same level as Martin's secret, (but we won't even know for sure until it's eventually revealed, whenever that is).

How much longer are Sharon and Tracy actually going to be around? I really hope we find out what Anita's secret is especially if they're going to be gone soon. I'm going to be really annoyed if we wait months on end to find out what it is. We still don't know what Martin's secret is even though it's been nearly 6 months. I can't help but think that maybe Anita might've had a hand in sabotaging or even destroying some people's reputations and careers, as Sharon had alluded to. Whatever her secret is, I don't think it's necessary murder, but it has to be really bad enough that Anita's terrified of it coming out and ruining her life. Maybe she got involved in some serious scandal that could've ruined her career but she somehow managed to keep it under wraps. Also, are we ever going to get back to the corrupt partner storyline with Jacob or has that been officially dropped? I totally forgot about that until now. I won't be surprised if TPTB decided to drop it at some point.

Mona actually mentioned meeting Leslie at church, so I think a church set might actually be useful. They could even introduce a recurring character as the main minister/reverend.

Someone mentioned a while back that Katelyn MacMullen should be chosen as a recast for Ashley and I think that's a great idea. I'm still hoping that BTG poaches her from General Hospital and have her play Ashley. Also the writing for Ashley could use some improvement because right now Ashley is coming across as extremely emotionally unstable and neurotic. I can't help but wonder if that's supposed to be intentional.

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.
