Would be PASSIONS-style devilish if it was Andre's. You know, like some kind of twisted flashback that this show failed to show the audience? And at this rate with THIS show?

PREGNANT! Guess who? This time at least.

The structure of it all makes no sense. June is gone but she'll be back in about a month or two to resume her homelessness. Same for Elon and Marcel. They and their storyline are back after a month and a half or more. That length of time just makes you forget all about it.

Well it would be ill-advised for her to just tell the audience to, as you put it, chill the F out, since it's the audience who will ultimately make or break this thing.

MVJ's little tweet is funny to me honestly, because it personally tells me a lot.

To me, Elon has the potential of being somewhat of an OG Ted type. Not quite as classy, but having a sense of swag and badassness. First of all, remove those glasses and that cop uniform and dress him in some GQ magazine suit and voila. Someone suggested him being for Leslie. That would be workable because he might humanize her somewhat. Not that he'd be much of a boy scout, but one who understands her a bit more unlike others. But I recall, Elon is still supposed to be married to Jacob's and Luke's mom Darlene though.

I love how posting about characters' absence seems to make them miraculously reappear. As if by magic.

No dead horses beaten at all, because you're right. Utterly pointless.

I'm really liking Kat as well but for some reason I didn't expect HER to be the standout, but she is. She's almost reminding of a young black "Tracy Quartermaine." Sarcasm and all. Also, whenever Tracy disliked or perceived someone as a threat or enemy, she went on a mission to get rid of them. Kat's doing exactly that.

Where is Elon?

If this show had been created a long time ago imagine THIS BLACK WOMAN as Anita.

I like Chelsea and Madison. Two very pretty black women as a potential couple. But I really wish this show would've showcased two very handsome black men as a couple instead.

Somebody brought this up elsewhere which emphasizes why this NuTed appears as such a weakling. Why is Kat doing what HE should be doing? And that's everything he can to rid him and his family of this crazy woman. Kat is doing all kinds of things she shouldn't do but now I understand her more. She can't count on her father to eliminate this woman because he's a wimp. He's been too busy inviting her into his home and serving her drinks and offering her invitations to birthday parties. WIMP!!!!

Thotting aside, Vanessa finally acted more like a spitfire in these scenes. This is more of how she should be.

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.
