What I found odd about Ted recognizing Silkpress is that they made such a point last week that he hadn't recognized her last week when he passed her by. Something is definitively off, though would they already pull the ole twin switcharoo trope?

Martin is clearly older than both Kat and Eva.

Rafe is an anti-chemistry guy. He just works as a mean boss. Jada and Shawn is someone I would really really like to see. Especially a baby. Jada would solidify her place on the canvas with a Shawn baby. And then Belle can go and die in a ditch or something.

"UNCLE ANDREW" Bring back Andrew and make Dimitri become obsessed with him. I love how Doug III basically delivers all his lines flat but we forgive him because he's sort of cute.

I feel like we need some quality writing to this soap ssstwitter.com_1741670576974.mp4

Åh, låt livet komma livet komma nära! Men älska mig för den jag är! Se alla ögon alla blinka stjärneljus... Min enda längtan nu och här, älska mig för den jag är.

I mean, it'll drop because the premiere numbers will have inflated this week a bit. Hopefully we're talking more about a drop to maybe 1.7m viewers on average with maybe 0.25/0.35+-ish average in W18-49/W25-52. It could then build from there.

TBH, it sort of underlined for me how they need different styling. It's not just the hairstyle, but the fact they all have facial hair and none of them really stand out by their personal clothes style. They could certainly get at least one of the guys to go clean-shaven, or even go for a fuller beard. I think clothingwise they could certainly do more - right now I feel Ted is the only guy with a distinct style due to his preference for polo + jacket combo.

The daily breakdown is encouraging. It stayed above 0.20 all week and while it hit a low on Friday, so did the others in the CBS line up. Shame daily total viewers weren't included.

Okay, can we just kill off Ashley and Derek in a nasty housefire and replace them with Shanice, Diego, Pamela and Jan Lindström? Diego certainly fills my meathead quota.

Watching Friday now and Shanice is s-e-r-v-i-n-g. This bitch wants to be a regular so bad and I'm here for it! Also, I don't care about her wig, Silkpress Sheila is and will forever BE Silkpress Sheila @Cheap21

Hulu (and Peacock) has a rolling chart (ie tracks the last 24 hour period), so both General Hospital and Days of our Lives tend to show up between the places of 5-10 on Mondays through Fridays.

Buy it? On her salary? She probably went through Cher's garbage can.

Good for Ron for getting a last hurrah. (Watch this be the thing that got him booted and not the Body & Soul crap 😂)

I love a good, long-awaited reveal.

Aaah, thanks.

What does "AMA" mean in this context?

I agree - I don't think "cousins" have quite the same sting to it... plus Eva and Kat would have no reason to go at each other if Ted isn't her father. Also, I'm not sure how you can't call this anything else but a hit, especially since it did exactly what it meant to do. It increased the time slot viewing significantly, won the time slot and increased the flow of CBS Daytime in general as both Y&R and B&B seems to have benefited from it. It also did amazing in the demographic they targeted it for - African-American women. It's hard not to spin this as a huge success. But of course it's week one and daytime soaps are a marathon, not a sprint etc etc.

Next week will feature Derek's best acting yet!

I wonder if Cady was one of those things they re-filmed tbh - Pamela seems better matched to Nicole, while Vanessa's messiness seems a better match for Dani.

Could also be a precaution to see if the recast works out? Though I feel like they're wrapping Ron's stories at this point. I think his contract ran out rather than was fired, so he'd know he'd be winding down at this point I'm guessing and perhaps some inputs from those taking over to ease the transition.

I'm definitively interested to hear more about seasons 5-7! But hopefully they'll bring back Chip, Chuck and other people from in front and behind the screens if they get that far. I find it interesting - the show was very messy at the time with backstage issues.

I mean, he did make everyone else look better by default. Still not as good as Charity Rahmer, though.

Maybe it's just me, but I sort of enjoy Savannah. I wouldn't mind her being a recurring confidante to Joy or something. Also, it feels like they're winding all Ron's storylines down. I assume they must've been setting up for the writer switch at this point?
