I need to talk about how good Andre's "hubby time" thirst trap was.

Martin was controlling when he didn't want Smitty working, but I don't think he was ever really emotionally abusive. Smitty on the other hand was a little emotionally abusive with his "I'll sleep with you but not forgive you" stunt.

Kat said last week she didn't want Eva to win so that is still part of her logic. She is playing herself. Plus. I think Tomas likes that she is a Dupree and what that can do for him more than he "loves" her. Instead of constantly chastising Dani, Nicole needs to use some of her energy to read Tomas.

So Carlton was waiting around for Ted's marriage to blow up so he could have his chance. What a jerk. Eva made a complete fool of herself by taking Leslie's advice, but Kat's not respecting herself any better. Having sex in a closet in public with a man that slept with your sister is pretty pathetic. Joey is setting Marcel up. But I suspect that Marcel might have some insurance to save himself.

Valarie Pettiford is incredibly versatile. She was totally hilarious as Big Dee Dee on Half & Half and can also play totally serious with no problem.

So she's going to go from Carlton to this new guy so quickly after the divorce? She sure is getting around. Poor Ted doesn't stand a chance.

They may as well test him with Leslie too. She needs another man besides Ted to focus on.

Lol that reminds me of when Vinton Harper said Mama told him "get hoppin', you dumb bunny". Tomas being so clueless could as work well storyline wise as to why Kat likes him. As pretentious as she is she would like a guy less smart than her.

Leslie is quite the mother. Telling your daughter to sleep with her sister's boyfriend and then high fiving for details is pretty low. The old fruitcake and Leslie not knowing she needed a project manager was hilarious. "I wasn't naked...I was wearing a towel" was such a moronic line but Tomas is a moron so it was fitting.

She could simply adore Vernon, but dislike Anita. Anita needs a rival for top diva in Fairmont Crest. Another character that could shake things up would be the woman with the wig askew that Naomi mentioned, but I'd like to see Roxanne Reese in that part (she was the drunk lady on Martin). There need to be some other powers in Fairmont Crest besides the Duprees.

Obviously Anna knows Karla and they both know Clifton so it's not surprising they would make a video together, but I have to wonder if Anna might show up on the show at some point.

The way you just posted "Yes" was giving Ebony Jenkins, lol.

My guess has been that the Hamilton home was designed to reflect the poor taste of Hayley and Bill. Hayley has worn some tacky, garish outfits and Bill is a man's man who would have questionable taste in furniture.

"Does she smell like hand sanitizer?" was such an Erica Kane level insult. Petty, yet so dismissive and condescending. Hayley is getting a bit of comeuppance and is feeling what it's like when your husband is preoccupied with another woman.

Ugh, the show was preempted by the news about stupid P. Diddy being sentence.

Naomi said on a previous episode that she doesn't want children. I'm betting that she has an abortion and Jacob will not be happy about it (not a spoiler, just a guess). Unlike the rest of her family, Naomi did approach Andre in a less judgmental manner. She does have legitimate concerns for her mother and didn't harp on the appearances. Hayley mentioning pregnancy again was an eye roll moment. At this point she is making it more obvious that she feels like she needs a baby to secure Bill.

Nicole did once tell Carlton he could always make her laugh, so maybe they had some sort of tryst. But my sense is that Carlton is a fake friend that secretly wanted what Ted has and really hates him. That would be a classic soap plot.

Anita acts as if Dani is a teenager who needs a lecture. Her concern is more about the Dupree image than Dani's well being. Bill was completely dismissive of Hayley when she had a valid concern about him obtaining Dani's marriage certificate. I was glad that Hayley was able to clap back and say that Andre has his own money to shut down that stupid idea that he would stake a claim to any inheritance for Chelsea and Naomi. Donnell is going to be next on the hit list, but unlike Doug I don't think he will be a casualty.

Alex Alegria could very well be a Daytime Emmy Awards attendee one day, so be nice and don't objectify this professional actor.

What I also liked about today was Martin standing up for himself. Smitty was getting ready to pull the same number of using him for sex again, but he shut him down.

Characters can get their comeuppance in different ways and Eva is sort of getting hers. She helped Leslie plot against Ted and Nicole, now she has her own moment of embarrassment and shame (not public though like she arranged for Ted and Nicole though). Kat is absolutely ridiculous wanting to hold on to Tomas because she doesn't want Eva to win. Neither one of them is going to win with him because he is a loser. Nicole being out in public kissing Carlton is why her indignation falls so flat. Your ex's business partner and friend should not even be on the table for dating. And Carlton is shitty too.

Leslie and that caviar was hilarious. She is trying to be bougie so hard. I was hoping Eva thought Tomas sucked too. He is a rotten person for playing a game with two sisters who already have a terrible relationship. That said, Eva knows she is in the wrong too. Vanessa's remorse and regret is the perfect groundwork to lead up to her seeking revenge on Joey when she finds out the truth eventually. Allison calling in was very much classic soap opera psycho. I think the actress is really settling into playing the nuance necessary to make this character unsettling and not just generic crazy.

That's more a 227 wig than the Jeffersons. Marla Gibbs had that style around late Season 2 through Season 3.

Now another McBride is going to get a target put on them by Joey. My guess is that Naomi is going to have an abortion and Jacob is going to be upset about it. This will be the marital trouble they face that was mentioned in the article about Jacob's brother showing up.
