Now WTF did Nick keep the tube in his hand? Rofl I didn't know Nick ever came off this clueless. Joshua Morrow has the perfect look to play a character that would be easy to set up like that. Of course Austin Peck still holds the crown for the "Huh, what?" look and style.

He must really need a check if he's willing to portray another rapist. That's one type of character that it would be ugly to be type cast as and there's no way the producers didn't take Todd Manning into account when asking Howarth to take this on.

Ted being Leslie's friend would not work at all. She ruined his life and is not even sorry for having done so. Not to mentioned he just mentioned the attempted murder which makes friendship even less sensible. Samantha was completely wrong for blaming her behavior on Kat. She listened to a conversation that did not involve her and was not told to emulate adult behavior.

Nicole just wanted to sleep with Carlton and had to rein herself in from using him. Just like she was going to sleep with Ted, but got shut down by the fire alarm. I've said it before, but Joey's shelf life is limited and there needs to be some movement towards his downfall or at least him vanishing and leave Vanessa holding the bag.

It seems like Elon favors Luke so it's not inconceivable that he is also a crook.

Kat is most certainly too obsessed with ever now. Parking herself at Uptown to warn Izaiah after she already warned him was absurd. It's not like he's some bumpkin off the bus from Chadwell, Oklahoma that Eva is going to send spiraling into debauchery. She wants revenge on Eva, but I have to wonder if seeing Izaiah doesn't have her thinking about trying to trade in Tomas for a more exciting prospect.

Elon judging Izaiah after he has taken money from a criminal is rich. Ted making a scene was totally entertaining. Nicole would not be entertaining Carlton if not to get a reaction from Ted so she got the attention she ordered. And on a side note, Shanice really pushed the boundaries of not minding her own business. Samantha knows better, but at least she did this after listening to Kat and Chelsea as opposed to after talking to June so June doesn't get blamed for this.

That's one way to look at it, but Kat lied about parts of the story to make Ted look like a hapless victim and then mentioned Tomas for no good reason. That said, Izaiah can take care of himself and did not need a warning from Kat. She was just keeping the drama going.

There are 247 people on the planet with the name "Bacall" with 191 being in the United States. Lauren Bacall used her mother's Romanian surname of "Bacal" but added an extra L, so it's likely most people actually with that name co-opted it from Lauren and it has no real historical distribution for the most part. It gives fan fiction for the writers to use that name.

And she left out the part about Ted paying Leslie off, having Bill threaten her, etc. That trapped line was so silly. Nobody trapped Ted into sleeping with someone other than his wife.

So Nicole is going to act like she wasn't using Carlton to prove a point? Please. Carlton would not be a factor if not for being Ted's business partner. June spilling that shake was such a classic soap move. That boy is sleazy and June has been in the streets enough to know sleaze right off the bat. Hayley is going to find a way to blame Leslie for poisoning Bill should she need an out. Kat has Tomas, yet she still found a reason to interfere with Eva talking to someone else. Once again, she isn't really that into Tomas, but moreso enjoys the feuding.

Any more relationship trouble for couples would be overboard at this point. I think that is why Martin and Smitty's course was changed.

Tonya Pinkins was recently on Tyler Perry's Sistas oddly enough playing a wealthy woman who was lead of a girl group.

This is probably the show's way of touching on that sort of situation without being political. Although, there really are people who get caught up in the medical misinformation game without being political so that is is big deal too.

Vanessa running her son out of town for any man would be wrong, but for Joey? He's so unappealing for aspects of this story to work. I really do want Vanessa to get caught by both of her children. Naomi behaved poorly by trying to call out Jacob in front of their friends. If it's not working then she needs to end the marriage.

DAYS definitely pushed the envelope. I remember when Xander tried to make Leo think that they had sex and Leo knew for sure that they had not.

The "I broke his penis" scenes were clearly inspired by TLC's "Sex Sent Me To The ER". Hayley is very annoyed with Caroline and I have to wonder if she will cause Caroline to have an accident or set her up to get fired. Bill is supposed to be so sharp, yet he downs cold coffee just because Hayley told him too.

That man doesn't look or act anything like Shemar Moore. Maybe that wasn't intended to be racist, but it is rooted in racist thinking and stereotypes.

Vanessa mentioned Joey making veiled threats, but failed to pick up on the fact that he seems to be threatening her son indirectly just by mentioning him.

I was going to say he's too sharp for that, but considering that he has three children with three different mothers he enjoys sleeping around enough where he could be plied and conned with sex. Some how his algorithm started showing Brooke's Bedroom posts, lol.

Very interesting that Andre is apprehensive about having his picture taken. There might be some dirt for Bill to find after all. Vanessa assumed that Dani would agree with her because she's impulsive and worldly, but Dani is not stupid. The difference is that Dani was more willing to flat out call her number whereas Nicole was more diplomatic. She does want Donnell to leave so she can be with Joey and Dani saying it set her off. The last scene was very classic and something that felt very 80s/90s soap. Hayley poisoning Bill slowly and him being totally unsuspecting it so entertaining to watch.

Maybe she said more but all I heard her say was "it's in God's hands". For a soap opera written to reflect the Black community there are going to be some religious references here and there. That said, you don't have to be married to ask someone if they are sure that they want to give up on their marriage.

Leslie saved Ted from being used. Nicole was not going to forgive him, she would have slept with him and then gave him the same "it's over" answer afterwards. That's why Nicole said the fire alarm saved her from making a mistake. Not that Leslie was right for pulling that stunt. Not sure who Vernon was on the phone with, but I guess the Duprees haven't had their full of secrets yet.

It might not be a hint of anything to come, but Malachi Malik (Elon) posted a picture with Trisha Mann-Grant at a film festival. Leslie and Elon would be an interesting pairing and Leslie certainly needs to let go of Ted. Elon is unscrupulous enough for her too.

What I appreciate that BTG has done is develop the characters. The amount of storyline told thus far has been copious and it has paid off in terms of development.
