I saw a lot of Nadal/Djokovic memes surrounding the match due to their countries of origin. And yeah he’s already mastered the drop shot. I saw Ben R. basically orgasming over Alcaraz, saying he’s the first young star he’s seen in his career as a reporter…

It’s a cool teaser. They used to do these more often. Like the one they did for VPR before it premiered. They probably just used footage from the show’s intro shoot. What has Caroline done to her face?

Harry Styles’s new song. It’s cute. Very 2000s indie pop.

I heard the Alcaraz/Kecmanovic match was outstanding.

Today was… not good. But I feel kinda meh about the whole show right now.

Steffy, you dumb f—k.

These shows are so timid that there’s no way that the Asian outsider to the Abbott family would have been a schemer. Although it would have been more interesting if Diane had manipulated her more beforehand. Allie certainly could have been more of a grey character. Right now, it seems like they’re going in the direction of bland do-gooder.

Exactly. Nick does nothing and hasn’t had a successful pairing in years yet isn’t disposable. Ditto Billy, who is an albatross who’s been relegated to podcasting as a story, yet isn’t disposable. Adam was “dead” and is playing the same old stories, yet isn’t disposable. They are thirsting to get back Michael Mealor as Kyle. They let Noah mope around the canvas for a year with no love interest (except creeping on a lesbian) and yet he’s not disposable. They say they want to have a “new beginning” and rebuild the Abbotts (sans Ashley and Traci full time). You’re telling me Jack’s oldest son has no value to the show alive, when he could easily be paired with Sharon, Chelsea, Victoria (post-Ashland), even as a spoiler for Amanda/Devon, the list goes on?

Ooooo.

I think they just don’t have a place on this show for an Asian leading man, even if they slightly DESORAS him. JG is too entranced by Adam/Billy/Nick, who are all tired.

It just makes me irritated that the scion of the Abbott family is considered so disposable, especially after avoiding even mentioning him for 25 years like he was fûcking Beetlejuice. Why did JG bring back Adam? That story was done and dusted. There were plenty of dynamics to dig into with both Keemo AND Allie. Keemo was a complete blank slate they could have taken in any direction. They could’ve even included Diane in that story if they wanted.

That is so obnoxious and unimaginative.

I actually don’t… mind the mustache with the soul patch above. Sorta balances it out. It’s the unkempt mustache we saw on the show that bugged the sh!t out of me.

Capi from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

Him and Azarenka. At least she admitted she’s got personal drama.

I thought he did ok on AMC and at times on GL. DAYS and Y&R were disastrous.

Oh I thought he tested positive during the Adria tour. My bad.

How many times has he tested positive? Is this his second or third time?

If we had a stronger sense of Esme being this demented prodigy doing Ryan’s bidding, I think I’d buy it more. But they are sorta not wanting to show their hand there. Ok, Tabyana turned it out today in her scene with NC.

The Cassadine men’s loyalty to Esme is just befuddling to me. I don’t buy it.

Avery Pohl is doing a great job as Esme because I just want her to be eviscerated. Spencer… god. This scene with Trina at the police station. None of it makes any sense.

Surprised he lasted this long. I guess without Paul, they needed a detective. Zero chemistry with anyone he’s been paired with on this show (I didn’t see it with Mia, even though I know some disagree). He’s got talent and sex appeal. These shows don’t quite know how to wield it.

She did tell Finn, which at least gives her some cover, I guess.

Exactly. Bring back up. I know part of the fun of soaps, like trashy horror films, is predictable stupidity, but it would be refreshing if a character were actually smart (for once) and Sheila simply outwitted her, which would require some thought. This is just suicide.
