It would be so much better if Vernon was firmer and more threatening toward Joey. There is room for them to all go down if Martin's secret comes out and that is the chess piece that Vernon should be playing. I like that Naomi is the one that notices Bill's obvious pining over Dani and calls him out for it. The way he was staring at Dani's table while Tomas was trying to talk business was pathetic.

Smitty was shirtless in front of Ted longer than he's ever been shirtless in front of Martin. Ted is clueless to that fact that he cannot grant Leslie grace without her making it into something it's not. Martin's opponent or opponents need to be seen at this point. Nameless, faceless opposition just doesn't work for this sort of storyline. With as many recurring players as the show likes to use it wouldn't be hard to bring someone on to stir the pot.

I certainly didn't mean to suggest you don't know the reputation of the magazines, I was just indicating that I think professionals still do values those publications.

When WGPR now WWJ-TV Detroit started up as the first Black-owned television station there were plans for a Black soap opera called "A Time To Live". This was in an old Department of Education report. WWJ-TV struggled to keep even news on the air during it's time so this idea was too ambitious to get off the ground. The only soap it ever aired was "Santa Barbara" amongst an assorted lineup of network shows. Ironically it is now a CBS affiliate.

Those publications are well respected by a lot professionals so it's likely that a few on the team have read them. It would be surprising if an Essence photoshoot isn't written into the show for one or more of the Dupree women at some point.

Hayley casually eating while Bill was choking was sublimely evil. Bill being so shaken over Hayley going into a bad neighborhood is hilarious. He has no clue that she is not afraid in that sort of place. It was a little funny to see Naomi fussing over Bill like he's frail and elderly, but Naomi is a the right adversary for Hayley to come up against when it comes to Bill. Ashley stealing meds for Grayson might come back on her especially considering how much the chief of staff hates her. That said, Ashley is finally in an interesting story.

I feel like Case could snag the Lead Actress Emmy. As absurd as Sharon Newman constantly being a victim is she does play the material well despite it being really ridiculous. Tunie might have a chance based on the scene with the letter from Barbara, but her strongest material has been this year so 2027 is probably her year. It's hard to imagine Trisha Mann-Grant not being nominated for Supporting Actress considering how much strong material she was given last year.

Is the shooter the same vicious person who punched poor Hayley Hamilton in the face and took her wallet?

Hayley's eavesdropping was a highlight of the episode for me. It was a throwback to small, classic soap opera devices. Grayson had a breakthrough on rather or not he is a character to root for. He is redeemable despite getting involved in the plasma scheme.

There was movement today and we can actually look forward to finding out what happens tomorrow.

Hayley knows how to manipulate a situation but there are too many moving parts for her to keeping deflecting from with indignation Grayson sure enough isn't getting any chicken soon unless it's from Garland Memorial nutrition. Nicole could have called or texted Ted about Martin. It was hardly a "fire" that required an in-person visit.

I watched a few episodes of Good Times recently and I realized how melodramatic Thelma Evans (Bern Nadette Stanis) could be, especially when it involved boyfriends. When she left Ebe she walked out the door while her family was still in his apartment, lol. That said, Good Times was full of soapy moments. On Golden Girls there was a scene where Dorothy said she felt she felt like she was on "Ryan's Hope" when she was telling off her married boyfriend.
