I don't recall any scenes with Erica at Nina's wedding. She was probably in NYC at the time.

I love her so much! ❤️

Are these Palm Springs episodes repeats from last year?

Genie Francis wore a Geoffrey Beane wedding gown. LOL! I remember it was big news back then. I couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. The dress was ringarde at best.

I think social media engagement is part of actors’ contracts, so maybe the actor didn’t have a choice.

You are a drug pusher. I will not! I need to abstain. It's Lent. 😊

Colin was the second actor to play Josh. Scott Kinworthy originated the role. I thought he was a decent actor. Remember when Josh and Dani Frye hooked up?

Tyrell's sweater-shirt looked so itchy that it made me feel uncomfortable.

I just can't with Bill and Hayley today when they got home. Their reaction to the picture frame and bottle of wine had me cracking up. It felt like a hilariously bad Sesame Street skit—"Who stole Cookie Monster's cookies from the cookie jar? Elmo, was it you?"

That deserves a triple slap Erica Kane-style.

You asked Hal if he read Megan's seedy memoir?

I always thought Scott Thompson Baker had great charisma. His character made a strong entrance and quickly became part of a major storyline, holding his own the entire time. He had incredible chemistry with Cady McClain and Teresa Blake (whatever happened to her?).

OMG, don’t tempt me! I refuse to click that YouTube link—I still vividly remember that scene as incredibly HOT HOT HOT!

I felt really uncomfortable reading the chapter where Megan called Agnes a homophobe. That accusation seems hard to believe, considering how inclusive Agnes was in her writing—especially with characters like Lynn Carson, the lesbian psychiatrist for Devon on All My Children, and Black characters like Carla Gray on One Life to Live.

I agree. Sheila Ducksworth appears to be a reasonable and supportive leader, at least based on her interviews. She seems like the kind of manager who prioritizes setting people up for success, which is likely a refreshing change from previous daytime executives.

This is just my guess, but I think Megan's bitterness toward Susan comes from the fact that Susan always praises Agnes and Lorraine—especially since Lorraine was invited to the 92NY event while Megan was not—yet tends to overlook Megan. While Megan did provide Susan with substantial material, like Bianca’s anorexia storyline, I always preferred Erica’s character when Agnes or Lorraine was in charge. Under Megan’s writing, Erica—and many of the female characters—often felt like perpetual victims.

I don't think Ben Gavin, the actor playing Derek, is going anywhere because his most recent story on IG shows him moving his family to GA. (I assume he had been commuting until now.) Of course, cross-country moves don't stop employers from dumping their employees. LOL. Truly starving!

I just can't. What were the powers that be thinking with Fusion? "We need to be more like Sex and the City! We need to be more like Lipstick Jungle!" Why couldn't they just relax and let the show be itself?

I completely agree with everything said. In her memoir, Megan McTavish presents herself as the smartest person in the room, and also comes across as overly bitter. Her tone suggests a "it wasn't me, it was them" attitude, deflecting responsibility for any shortcomings. Furthermore, she uses her writing as a tool for vindictiveness, particularly targeting James Kiberd and Cady McClain—regardless of what they may or may not have done. This approach undermines McTavish's credibility and makes the memoir feel more like a personal vendetta than an honest reflection.

I have never seen this. Oh my stars.

The Risa story is blah.

Well they did show us that Ashely could deliver a baby in an elevator in week 2 of the job.

I enjoyed the crossover as well. However, I felt that reuniting Bianca and Miranda happened too soon. I think Miranda should have remained on OLTL for a few more years. While that would have made Bianca unhappy in the short term, it could have created more storytelling opportunities down the line—similar to how Erica and Adam’s first divorce was later revealed to be invalid and revisited years later.

She's definitely coming off as a psycho. She remind me of Janet from Another Planet, although Janet had more layers to her. Hopefully, we see more layers to Leslie because the character has potential. I don't want her to be written into a corner.

Yeah I thought that was strange. But maybe the actress had the day off.
