Matt Bomer (GL) stars in and exec-produces a new eight-part limited series Fellow Travelers, which has landed a series order from Showtime. “Fellow Travelers is a love story and political thriller, chronicling the volatile romance of two very different men who meet in the shadow of McCarthy-era Washington.” The story goes from the ‘50s through the ‘80s AIDS crisis.

All of this just to replay this tired triangle.

Honestly, the whole show is so disastrous that I barely notice whatever Kimberlin is doing now. Sheila has long overstayed her welcome.

Ashland framing Victoria for killing Rey could potentially have a lot of dramatic angles, but it feels rushed and sloppy. The Sharon/Rey/Chelsea triangle was likely a dead end, but you’d think they would have developed it more before *killing* the guy.

Totally. A lot of this feels like someone up the chain threw a gauntlet down and intervened (while the stories are still tinged with JG’s very *loose* structuring and pacing).

She’s terrible. Mark Teschner really whiffed on that casting.

If someone told me NuJordan was an actual robot, I’d think the actress was amazing. I prefer Tabyana’s braids like today. She looks great. More grown-up.

About effin’ time. But I guess she gotta get that bag. I can’t stand her (the motherly redemption didn’t work for me). She caped for that grotesque dude for way too long. I understand why, but that doesn’t mean it absolves her.

Wow, these writers are so in their little bubbles. Make it make sense.

At least it’ll take the heat off of Sally. I do wonder how Diane will interact with new characters. They’ve already put Allie in her corner. A team-up with Ashland would seem like a no-brainer eventually, but this show loves to leave obvious dramatic possibilities on the table.

Andy Cohen in the comments says Michael Corbett was his No. 1 daytime crush in the ‘80s:

For me, it was just a chemistry thing. It’s so hard to find, so when it works, I think shows should pursue it. I’m in the minority in that I don’t see as much with nuTrina (she’s been great and they work well together but I don’t feel the same way). But it’s also the way Spencer has been treating her. I’m all for the bad boy/good girl romance, but their interactions have begun to sour me on the pairing, which is a writing failure.

Renewed for another season.

I know GH plays the “make ‘em laugh, make ‘em cry, make ‘em wait” game, but the payoffs are so crap on this show. Don’t play that game unless you can make the wait worth it. It’s partially why I’m losing hope on Sprina.

Jack Harlow debuts at No. 1 with his Fergie-sampling “First Class.” He previously topped the chart with “Industry Baby,” his collab with Lil Nas X:

And that legacy has destroyed its daytime series.
