Gatecrashers

I know we're in July now, but I just wanted to say that I completely agree with you. I thought I missed something - like 80s prom purses were trending on TikTok and you were disappointed that BTG wasn't featuring them. Damn, I need sleep. And, yes, that bag is embarrassingly dated. Jeresa is usually on top of trends, too.

That's true. I don't remember that, but I remember the story. I hope that with her own show, she is more focused on a particular end point. It seems like she started with a solid bible, so there's that. My fear is whether or not she will be willing to pivot on stories that she already planned that are failing or unpopular (looking at you, Ashley). So, she's kind of like the folks that were liaisons between P&G and CBS back in the day for ATWT and GL, before they eliminated that position? And, I'm also assuming NBC and ABC had similar liaisons between them and P&G for their P&G soaps in the 60s - 90s?

Is this a thing? Seriously asking...

They're way too young. I think they're maybe more like the Pointer Sisters.

As a huge GL fan, (and I can see from your avi that you are, too), please take this back.

Yes, and weather in Georgia in July is not always pleasant. It can get quite muggy. I stayed in New Orleans and can attest. It's even muggy up here by NYC right now.

I think they were referring a tweet or Instagram post from earlier this week - something about "it's called long story for a reason..."

We should just be real - we just don't like Ashley. Dani was using him for sex, too, before she "valued him as a person."

That's my mother's name. What is wrong with it?

Tomas probably feels concerned about Kat's welfare and doesn't want to let her down after her giving herself to him. He feels that if it doesn't work out, she will regret what she has done. He's actually a good guy. He could have slept with Eva that day she came onto him, but he didn't, and you know he has blue balls by now with Kat. Also, he didn't know Kat was there and he still refused. He really seems to care about Kat and has a heart. Then again, his actions as Bill's spy say otherwise...however, I don't think he would intentionally hurt women on his own or without a carrot dangled in front of him (like a potential partnership). Or... Tomas DOES have feelings for Eva and is trying to spare Kat any extra heartache if they do not work out and he eventually ends up with her sister.

Or, the Duprees are worse than we thought...

This whole storyline is giving me David Grant flashbacks, except he wasn't rich, he was middle class, so he ran in the same situation.

Yeah, not a good look on "No Kings" week.

Way too young...

You mean the probable racist f*ck? But, honestly, do they have a choice since there is no tangible history to play on? They had to make artificial backstories or there would be no plot moving forward. And, tbf, even decades-running soaps create artificial backstories for long-established characters all the time (especially when it comes to children that they never knew they had, or back-from-the-dead plots).

I think this is what they are trying to do with Derek/Ashley/Andre/Dani. It's not working. I wish they gave us more time to root for Chadison. They needed a obstacle or two so we would have time to really relish their chemistry and cheer them on.

Who can Derek be paired with?

Team Derek for sure, but my straight friend is Team Ashley, saying, "No man will force me into marriage if I'm not ready." Well, what is she waiting for?

Honestly, I still enjoy everything about the show (except Ashley).

She might be using Anita like she planned to do before. If so, I suspect Tracy is not in on it. I'm not sure if this was revealed yet - I didn't watch 6/11 yet.

Love this! You are both adorable. Wow

Totally here for Anita dumping Sharon in the past for first Dante Green, and then Vernon...

It's been 3...

I feel bad for judging a child, but, to be fair, she's over 40 now. My daughter was into Halloweentown when it reran on the Disney Channel in the 2010s. I wasn't impressed then, either.

I remember thinking that he was fantastic after Reva's 1990 "death," with his grief and attempted relationship with Harley. I also remember the cute Marah, not the toothy chick from Halloweentown.
