Joey has been an issue for me because he has so much control over the powerful Black characters including the family that built the community. The hospital chief of staff seemed like a standard rule enforcer, but the Black characters didn't really seems all that threatened by her. The character prototype for Vanessa was initially listed as being Black so that probably accounts for a lot of how Dani and Nicole interact with her. Depending on the order of casting they may have switched Vanessa to being White because it would have looked really problematic for a successful Black woman to crap all over her successful Black husband for a criminal White man.

I went to KSJ's homegoing service and it really moved me to see how much he impacted his castmates even the ones he didn't share a lot of scenes with. He would have definitely been a good part of BTG.

She did fix her face and get it together to be fake happy for Ted, but Nicole's pressed face was beyond obvious for a second.

Nicole told Ted to stay out of her business yesterday, but inserted herself into his today. She's still having issues moving on and was very pressed. Couldn't stand that nasty reporter at Dani's house, but she handled him well. And of course Bill would have notifications on about Dani.

Nicole's visit to Ted was totally unnecessary and braggadocious. And her lecturing anyone about judgement was hypocritical when she looked down her nose at Dani regarding Andre and threw a fit that she wasn't notified. Carlton's angry streak really showed today and Shanice was right to put him in his place. Nicole should be worried about knowing who Carlton really is instead of lecturing Ted.

At the very least Nicole is being intentionally exhibitionist and is juggling two men at the same time as a coping mechanism. Going from slightly conservative apparel to clubwear is spiraling. I don't think saying a character is a ho is sexist, it's just an opinion. Some people say they've had ho phases and I think that is what Nicole is trying to do.

Nicole reacted to seeing Ted with Shanice by sleeping with Carlton and now she's reacted to Carlton's attitude by sleeping with Kial. Instead of making up for lost time she's spiraling and being very public about it. Hoe is a strong word but those vibes are definitely there. I am still banking on her utilizing the escort service.

It wasn't stated outright, but Jasmine Why and Nancy Oleson 2026 are on that "we're better because were light skinned" thing. The writers really need to utilize Kat to go up against Anatasia because she will read her to no tomorrow. She would have really ripped her a new one for that crack about Anita. Carlton is displaying a possessive streak. He agreed to not be exclusive so he shouldn't be angry about her being out with another man.

I have that problem too. My name is spelled differently than the common spelling for it.

Another phone error today. Hayley's name was spelled as Haley on Bill's phone, but the character has been listed as "Hayley" in the credits. Jacob is going to end up have to beat somebody up to pass the loyalty test. Lynette is fixing to blackmail Hayley with that ring.

Vote for the show in the NAACP Image Awards like Ernestine and Tricia told you to

I was so glad when Andre ignored Bill's call. Bill had no reason to call Dani because it wasn't like it was an emergency. Jan tries too hard to get others to grant Leslie grace and that's probably going to blow up in her face. Leslie hasn't even changed like Jan claims. Hayley will turn on her woe as me act, but I don't think Bill will pay attention more than two seconds. He's too busy trying to get Dani's attention now that she's married.

Ted talked about getting a new place and of course we have Leslie's gaudy new house in the works, so those are some potential sets to look forward to.

That's the one soap on the air that I have never viewed so I've never seen the sets, but one soap having a variety of sets is good to hear. The structure of the writing shifted in season two so maybe BTG will make some changes with sets to go along with the more laser focused writing.

Sets are an area where the show has yet to get into a groove. Unfortunately this seems to be an issue across all soaps at one point or another. I agree that Joey didn't need a set and Vanessa's house could have been a place for them. That would have also allowed for tension from Donnell and Deanna feeling some type of way about Joey being in their father's space.

It's a soap. Don't take it so seriously.

Butt floss, lmao. The fact that Shanice used a tissue to pick them up is one of the minute details I like about the show, because Shanice is definitely the sort of person who would not touch strange underwear with her bare hands. Obviously Derek is right about Grayson, but all he won't get through to Ashley because he's cried wolf and acted like a weirdo.

Taylor have a death wish because messing with Sheila Carter's husband (or even a crush) is asking for a whole lot of trouble. Sheila is insanely violent when it comes to men.

Drew Barrymore debuted during the pandemic so perhaps she built up a following that way. Or it's just one of those shows that has a weird quirk for longevity.

Anita scaring Anastasia like she was going to hit her was an excellent way to embarass her. When Nicole was prancing around in that dress she seriously gave me

I knew exactly what Hayley was trying to doing when she started showing Izaiah pictures of Winterfest. No dignity at all. Naomi's comment about Martin having staff to write postcards reeked of being privileged and elite. Chelsea is not going to do well with a long distance relationship.

I think that the show wants to avoid the idea that Black women don't have long hair, because many do. Anita's hair being curly could easily be explained as her using heat straightening where a simple wash would revert the hair to a natural state. Of course further hair loss is going to be expected but symbolically cutting it was Anita taking control of fate by not prolonging the process of hair coming out in clumps. With a shorter cut there is less hair to come out.

The obvious answer is that scalp cooling would take away from the storyline. Losing your hair because of chemo is an expected part of a cancer storyline. Side note, but Sean Freeman is presented on an awards show on BET. I just heard my mom say "That's Andre" lol.

I've said it before: Hayley is King Magazine and Dani is Essence. Hayley's clothing choices fit with her being all about male attention and ego whereas Dani is fashion focused.

Epic slap. She was like "breathe, mutha[!@#$%^&*]a!"
