Why do we need a “To be continued…” on a fücking soap opera? 😂 @Veesaid they’d never pair Terry with anyone the show actually cared about. Hence digging deep into the archives.

Lol. That’s definitely part of it, but it’s also odd writing. TempTaggart said, “One mo’ gin” regarding Esme’s name.

Sam and Carly talk about Maxie being kidnapped by Peter as if they were making idle chat about the weather. Reminded me of Alexis and Sam being sorta “meh” over Luke’s death.

LOL at Thomas’s impersonation of Brooke. That came all too naturally for Matthew Atkinson.

Siiiigh. Such a good scene. AD was such a singular presence. She would have been more interesting as a Phyllis rival than SW, but of course they’d have had to write it differently. Alex would have instantly deflated a lot of Michelle’s antics. The shot of Phyllis through the handle of Diane’s purse was such a nice touch.

Ah, the series Kate McKinnon dropped out of. She does look good. JLaw is doing the movie version.

Totally a sitcom. I can’t with Billy’s “Man in the Mirror” speech.

It’s certainly a risk, as the Gossip Girl revival has shown. The Gale Harold stans aren’t happy that this isn’t a continuation. (But even the new L Word got pilloried with most of the original cast back.)

I don’t really mind it. The reality is that there’s just too much content out there for people to wade through without a recognizable title attached. This show sounds loosely like QAF, in that it’s about a group of friends, but that’s about it. I love the diversity and the New Orleans setting. I just hope it doesn’t get bogged down in black/brown/trans trauma and remembers to be fun and sexy.

GT would be a great addition to any soap. Although I shudder at some of the cartoonish Grand Guignol faces we might see in an emotional scene between her and Maura.

Steffy would not have snatched a phone out of my hand *in my own house* without getting popped, stepdaughter or no stepdaughter.

And I don’t think he seemed *that* odd next to AH, but we didn’t have any lovey-dovey stuff yet. It’s overkill for someone who hasn’t done anything that horrible. Maybe this is a long play to get viewers to root for Sally—have her horribly mistreated before her inevitable triumph—but it’s not fun to watch, and this is the namesake of Darlene Conley’s Sally Spectra, who could read a bitch for filth! It’s kinda degrading.

I actually think she’d look great with Drew/CM, but that would never happen. (Prove me wrong, GH.)

I agree. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was matched with someone disposable like, say, T.J.

Would they ever pair her with one of the show’s cis straight males?

Don’t miss HT at all. KA’s been very solid. She’s not as elegant as vintage Taylor, but she’s empathetic and very watchable. HT hasn’t been recognizable as Taylor in years. It helps that Thorsten is playing Ridge instead of Ronn Moss, so I can accept them on their own terms.

Steffy has a smart mouth. I hope Sheila gets her good eventually. (JMW plays her so, so well, though.)
