WOW's it's Tuesday and no comment's on Sundays show.

Well I say that this show is back with a vengence right up there with Season 13

I loved Carlos and Gaby & Susan and Lynette.

Terri and Felicity have such a good rappaport together.

I love the gay neighbors what a great addition to Wisteria Lane.

Next Episode looks to be good to.

For those who are interested, "Entertainment Weekly" reviews DH in their Television section this week. It's a very positive review. They give the new season an A-, and among the highlights ~

~ they praise the way the new characters have been introduced

~ site DH as proof that comedy does work well in the 1-hour format

~ claim that every single housewife has good material this season

~ suggest other shows use DH as a template

I know it's queer, but this show really moves me every.single.week.

Felicity Huffman just nails it, time after time. I was so touched by her performance at the end of tonight's episode, after Lynette learns that she is cancer-free. When she looked over and saw the opossum, I lost it. What an actress!

The other part that really moved me tonight was Danielle and Bree. Normally I am not a big fan of Joy Lauren, but she was really solid tonight. Marcia is always spot on.

I know Susan's storyline was secondary tonight, but I think the character is the heart and soul of the show, and one of the few characters with a conscience. I really enjoy that they are exploring aspects of she and Mike's marriage. I like it that Susan is concerned about this issue.

And then the whole Gabrielle/Victor/Edie/Carlos drama. Man, this show is firing on all cylinders, and that's to say nothing of Katherine, who wasn't really involved tonight for once.

I am pretty damned impressed with all six episodes of this season so far.

ETA: In all honesty, and I know I say this often, but the Lynette scene at the end tonight is one of the all time best IMO. They spent so much time building up her obsession with that damned critter, that by the time she finally saw it dead at the end, it was so effective. And FH is one of those actresses like Erika Slezak: when I see her cry, I have to join in.

There is a lot of talent in the DH cast. A LOT!

this episode is hitting to close to home for me, because of the tornado. But whats up with having no loud sound when the tornado was coming near, it would of been louder than hell. I really felt for mike tonight and susan when he asked for her pain pills that the doctor prescribed to her, he looked so vulnerable and pathetic, a real low point. I was so happy when adam's bitch died, she was annoying as hell. OMG, I hope lynettes kids/husband are alright, that house they were in was demolished.:(

This episode was absolutely amazing. From the effects (sound was loud, sorry, the voices could barely be heard), the tornado, the developing of relationships, the twists, John's (apparent death), Sylvia being taken by the wind, and that cliffhanger! Felicity Huffman's reaction was PERFECT! And the sight of The Lane being so destroyed was chilling.x

Great episode. I hope Tom and the Scavo kids (well maybe not Kayla, hehee) are alright and Ida too. I also hope Carlos is ok. Glad that Victor's dead and loved the tornado taking crazy, irritating Syliva up in the air and killing her too(probably). I wish Julie, Dylan, Danielle, Andrew, Bob & Lee were part of this show as well.

okay, so IMHO that ending wasnt a cliffhanger at all. why? because in the begtining they said one housewife would lose a husband (and something about a friend to y/n?). well Victor was gabbys husband and hes dead (well.. i think so anyways). therefor i assume Tom & the kids are fine.

but it was a good episode. all except whats her name? wow. thats said. i really cant think of her name. the actress who plays eddie. she always ruines it for me tho.

how long has Eva been credited as Eva Longoria(sp?) Parker?

I thought for sure Carlos was going to die, especially after Edie and Gabby bonded. I hate that Victor was killed off bc I thought he got a bad deal from his hoish wife cheating on him.

This was the first time Susan didnt completely annoy me in an episode. Probably bc she wasnt being a complete clutz or idiot.

I couldnt stand the crazy woman Adam had an affair with. She was so annoying and I was hoping she'd get killed. LMAO at her final shot. I dont feel bad for Katherine and I still dont like her. I hope she and Bree dont become friends as hinted

Mrs. McClusky was right. Lynnette only knows her when she needs someone to babysit her brats and that poor old woman always does it for her.

I didnt get the end with Lynette. Was she looking at her house or Ms. McClusky's destroyed by the tornado with her husband and children in the wreckage? If its the latter, I hope they arent dead bc what a horrible thing to have happen to her.

    • I really like your analysis.   This isn't about a stereotype of black men being cheaters.  This is about a soap opera in which one couple was regarded to be flawed and the other regarded to be perfect, but there were issues underneath the supposedly perfect one.     Very good point that they started the show in these early months with a classic  sex and betrayal story to get people hooked.  I agree with you that we'll see more aspects and layers of all the characters as the months and years go by.
    • Oh, I didn't know that about Melgar.  She's not a GH alum I particularly follow obviously lol.  I remember she had a brief period of relevance when she did that web soap and people were saying she was a good actress.  Not on GH lol, but that's for the classic thread. It's just too much of a friendship. They can be pals or co-grandparents or whatever, but Laura should not like Sonny THAT much.  And who in life blathers on about how much they enjoy one another's friendship for multiple days/episodes?  Lol. The part of the audience that likes Sonny (myself included) should know Sonny sucks and just accept it.  He's an awful human and I hate him 90% of the time but I like him 10% more than anyone on this board lol.  I don't need Laura or anyone in town to prop him up to me and I doubt people that dislike Sonny would be convinced to like him just because Laura apparently has horrible taste in friends and husbands, but I digress.  
    • I do not buy that. I mean, I didn't go by Laura for years to be somehow accepting of rapist Luke. Why now would I go by her about our favorite narcissist Sonny? I wouldn't. Laura has never exhibited what you might call good judgment when it comes to people. I mean, she hasn't, you know?!!! Think of Esme!!!! Technically it was the 2000s. 
    • In the new Soap Hub Says podcast they now refer to Bill as BilltheFixer. I love it!!! The moniker fits. 
    • I see people saying this a lot but I always thought both things were plot points with a specific purpose. Martin running for president (something that would've been years down the line) was just to give us an opportunity to learn about his secret and that it involves Anita and Vernon. Naomi's lawsuit was used to develop her relationship with Bill and highlight his health issue. Those cases are almost always settled out of court so I didn't find anything odd about that, it was all about Naomi and Bill. I do wonder if Mike might've had better chemistry with Jen Jacob. At this point I feel he's right there with Derek in terms of being a weak link. He's a better actor but he doesn't have chemistry with anyone. These are the two characters I really hope they get a handle on in coming months.
    • From the original report, via Variety (December 2020): ❝ The project is currently titled Pine Valley, named after the fictional Philadelphia suburb that served as the setting for All My Children. In the new series, a young journalist with a secret agenda comes to expose the dark and murderous history of a town named Pine Valley only to become entangled in a feud between the Kane and Santos families. ❞
    • Yes; plus, it's supposedly the home of the trauma Alexis experienced when they were in that storyline, etc., a.k.a., another recycled and redressed set. Wouldn't surprise me, especially since Melgar did the "GH Live!" episodes and those weird-ahh outros we got. Although, given that Melgar has been more aligned with the views of ex-Jax, part of me feels like she wouldn't be asked back.  Probably because of Luke, and if Laura accepts Sonny, then the audience automatically will, too. I mean, because she does means you do, right?! Right?!
    • Yes, Portugal qualifying was definitely a shock. I'm not crazy about the Ukrainian entry either, but that was always going to qualify for obvious reasons.  I was a bit surprised that they had the video message from Cèline Dion already in the semifinal. I would have thought they would save that for the final on Saturday.
