There is no doubt that Kat is entitled but of Tomas doesn't like that he should end their relationship instead of playing her against her sister.

Accidentally spilling a big cup of ice water would do the trick. Derek couldn't hide feeling that.

There is a lull and that sometimes happens on a soap after a big story line. The show wants to make a big splash in the first year and have lots of excitement happening, but the pitfall of that is that you end up with weeks that a lulls until the next story line or an element of a story line picks up.

Saw the ending of today's episode and thought it was comedy. Brad Bell is almost like the Tyler Perry of daytime. He loves doing cliffhangers that end up having no substance.

Derek's bitchy tone toward Shanice was so uncalled for. He is putting her ethics in the middle of his desperation to hold on to someone who doesn't really want him. And Ashley is still playing games because there was no need to call Andre over other than to get his reaction. Anita is so caught up in Dupree excellence that she is pushing Chelsea too hard. Kat groveling to Tomas was not on brand for the character. He does run interference for Eva too much. Hayley's insecurity makes her a weak homewrecker. She secured the bag but is still threatened.

To be fair to the writers, aspects of the character's professions have played a role in story lines to varying degrees. I think the professions will be showcased as story line dictates.

Ted only succeeds in making Leslie go further down the war path. I thought she was going to steal his underwear, but it was only his tie. Tyrell is such a bully when it comes to Samantha seeing June. After he brought a strange, grown man into their home he has no room to judge anyone on who is a good choice to be in contact with.

Was tuned into CBS while B&B and saw Thomas' meltdown. Thomas about to attack Brooke for ruining his family was insane. He's very much old enough to know that his family is not going to be ruined by his mother not being married to his father. But this is the same way Rick once went off on Ridge for somehow ruining his family. Bell is so obsessed with this weird family issues.

The Duprees opened the door for Leslie and the proceeded to believe all the obvious antagonistic lies she was telling them. They let her play them when they could have easily avoided it. Ted is in a really bad place, so he can eventually come back from sleeping with Leslie. If he actually sleeps with her. He may end up passing out before performing and then she misleads him into believing something happened.

I think Leslie will just say something happened. Ted will pass out drunk and she'll get into bed with him like they did something. But he has looked at her with thirst before so he might actually sleep with her.

Debbi Morgan (Angie, AMC) is playing such a ratchet character on Tyler Perry's Beauty and Black on Netflix. It is absolutely hilarious and a mess, but she is good at it.

He would have had an attitude if Dani was with a man her own age or older. He likes her pining over him.

*Maya Wilkes voice* Yes it would, girl. That is just nasty!

Bill had no business trying to feel some type of way about Andre and Dani. The scene with Kat playing authority figure with Samantha was thrown off by the fact that the actress playing Samantha is too mature for the part.

Doug should forget about Vanessa because she is so disrespectful to him. And for some old dried up criminal of a man at that. But I think Doug is going to try and kill Joey but die in the process. Hayley's plan is bound to backfire. She is putting herself in Kat's orbit and Kat is not going to have anyone coming for bland, unseasoned Tomas. And Bill is not going to stand for even a hint of Hayley cheating with Tomas.

Knowing Bell he'll probably focus on Taylor and Brooke fighting over who is Jack's mother even though he's grown up. If there is one thing he loves, it's a back and forth between Taylor and Brooke.

It's not equal footing but I think Smitty has less moral high ground. You don't use somebody for sex especially not your spouse. The anger should apply to all aspects of the relationship. With that said, Martin made a terrible error in judgment, but Smitty is just being selfish and spiteful.

I knew some of you all were going to get excited over that scene.

Ted did make a fool of himself, but the Duprees deserved that read he gave them. Smitty is a raggedy hoe for what he did. He wasn't talking about "it's going to take time" when he was ready for Martin to scratch that itch. Ashley is nobody to fake a malady over, but Derek is probably going to do something dumb like that. Allison is genuinely crazy. When she called Naomi her sister-in-law I was cracking up.

Wrong thread.

Allison is definitely written realistically. There are insane fans that behave just like this. When Leslie threatened Vanessa with a racial discrimination suit I laughed out loud. I was glad that Vanessa didn't respond with "I can't be racist my husband is black" and I think the writers were smart enough not to do that. Ted made a fool of himself desperately seeking a cookie for his scheme against Leslie. Your wife's niece was kidnapped and you are all "look at me!!!". It was very selfish and inconsiderate.

BTG has a number of viewers that don't view the other CBS soaps, though. Cross promotion can definitely work both ways. I'm not saying it's necessarily being done to help B&B just that the same argument could be made in reverse (B&B needs help in ways that cross promotion won't help anyway).

A crossover with B&B hardly speaks of desperation. Nothing against Thorsten Kaye, but he's not even one of the MVPs for B&B itself so he'd hardly be a draw. If anything CBS is trying to draw BTG viewers to the other soaps since it is developing a following independent of Y&R and B&B.

Kind of hard to take a critique serious when the writer is has not watched enough of the show before writing.
