Leslie has become much less like Sheila Carter now. The real Sheila Carter always carried this somewhat threatening and unpredictable vibe about herself, even when she wasn't having one of her meltdowns. Like you knew not to play with her or cross her. NuTed is still a NO for me I'm sorry to say. I can't believe how much in love and invested I was with OG Ted just to feel absolutely nothing for him now.

Come on Articulettes. Bring it.

I'm going to respond to you about this show. I've been accused of hating on it for some reason or another. But as a 53-year-old black man I do not hate this show at all. It heavily represents people like me, but I want it to be treated well and not just pushed with half-assedness, which is what I feel has happened on several occasions so far. Bad editing, bad cliffhangers, or no cliffhangers at all, disappearing characters with dropped storylines, etc. I can understand shows no longer wanting certain characters or storylines, but why the "Judy Winslow" effect? I'm really finding it weird that Jacob doesn't mention his father or his detective partner. Jacob was smack dab in the middle of them both.

I stated a while back about Andre being designated as a playboy. That's really not how he's being portrayed. A playboy is generally the male equivalent of a whore. So he should be acting more like Vanessa, having sex with everyone he can find. But he sleeps only with Dani and pines for Ashley.

What it's always been. SEX. Andre CAN have a story of his own. It's very easy to do.

Only Tyler Perry knows where the finest looking black men roam. I'm telling ya, he's a secret consultant for this show. 😃

Charlie's Angel's with a man in the mix. Perhaps all three of them are in the wrong businesses, and should start a PI business together.

And characters just disappearing with NO explanation and no further mention. Even after they were involved in a seemingly significant storyline. And I'm talking about Chief Elon Hawthorne and Detective Marcel Malone. Where are they?

FAKEOUT! Tyler Perry-style SMH.

Just another beat that they missed, and they seem to miss them often.

Leslie envisioning herself as Nicole is why I said PASSIONS. This woman is clearly not happy with herself.

He's a weakling, and I think his whole entire presence is deliberate.

NuTed has been rendered a 🐈 too. I wonder if that was the true intention?

This show is now PASSIONS. Tell me, who'll be the secretive witch (or warlock?) moving into the GATES?

See what I did?

Andre and Ashley just feel like to me some stereotype in the making. The latest news of white women with black men has not been pretty. I know we have Vanessa and Doug but they represent another side of the spectrum.

Well, this show is now attempting to step outside of the box a bit more? Next, Andre kisses Derek. Come on show in 2025, do it.

I have no idea WHY you keep talking about me. But I'm right, and you know it.

This show was a gamble on every level. It just doesn't have months of time to pull in the audience. I stated this before it ever hit the airwaves.

It should be better for a show airing in 2025. But that's just my take.

Steal her away from Y&R and make her "Sharon".

Lucy Coe wasn't even this big of a whore.

Too bad she ended up on Y&R. Actress Valarie Pettiford might've been "Sharon" because she sings too and does it pretty well.

For the Duprees to be the core family, other non-Dupree characters have brought something more to the table than they have. The two daughters are both victims at this point. Vernon hasn't done a whole lot besides coddle Martin. And I'm not too sure about Anita's singing past being all that interesting either.

TRACY!!!
