I always laugh at this Truemans vs. Slaters fight. It gets particularly hilarious when Patrick has Mo in a headlock.

I hope Kat wears lots of animal prints on her return!

Today's episode:

Wow, Bianca mentioned Alan, so they haven't forgotten about him.

The scenes with Carol and that recruiting officer were funny and typical Carol.

I really hate Whitney when she's in all-Billie mode, like she was today. He's not worth it, ugh.

Mo's homophobia. :lol:

I really enjoy Denise and Zainab's friendship. They didn't have to play out the scenes with Denise first being back at home with her family, but I'm glad they did. I can understand Chelsea wanting to leave after all that's happened.

Had I not already known Phil would slap the sh!t out of Peggy, I would have been shocked by the cliffhanger. Though, didn't Grant also slap the sh!t out of her once too?

I'm looking forward to Thursday's episode with Lisa's one-off appearance.

Grant did slap Peggy, but it was more of an accident. Phi deliberately slapped the hell out of Peggy today. I can't stand her or her cretin sons. It was only a matter of time before they turned on her, but that slap was damn disrespectful.

I didn't really enjoy today's show. However, it was good to see Denise home. I don't blame Chelsea for wanting to get away from the Square.

I like Denise and Zainab's friendship, but I can't get over how poorly Zainab has treated her own son. I hope Denise confronts her on this issue when she finds out that Syed is gay.

I'm glad that Carol is getting man. I can't imagine him putting up with her for very long though.

Mo's homophobic comments were perfectly stupid. I love Kirkwood throwing that rubbish back into the faces of the bigots watching and making them feel like fools.

I think what really stung Phil and got that reaction out of him was Peggy of all people calling him a bad father and saying Louise would be better off without him.

She's done nothing but whitewash the mistakes of her children and stick up for them when she knows they're wrong. It's a bit surprising that she told Phil that.

Mo: Last thing we need is YMCA blasting off at all hours! :lol:

True. Where Peggy is concerned it is usually the woman's fault never her precious sons. Every once in a blue moon her eyes are opened and she sees them for the monsters that they are. It isn't a coincidence that Grant "accidentally" slapped her when she was confronting him about his violence towards women and mentioned that Sharon was right to leave him. You can check out the clip on YT.

Michelle was a strange character in that she was often a very selfish, dour person, but I usually couldn't help feeling sorry for her and wanting her to get what she wanted, even when she was being pretty callous (like the way she treated Lofty). Susan Tully was an amazing actress, ridiculously underrated.

Without her there is no real reason to ever see Michelle again unless they find a brilliant actress to take the role over and they know how to write Michelle, which won't be easy.

    • I wonder what Dana and Hayley's first scene will be like. Dana has fear/contempt for Bill, but I can imagine Hayley being curious to meet her.
    • Daphne was just FANTASTIC today. I know people wanted histronics and it may still come but she was pitch perfect today. As much as I like Maurice she's gonna need someone just as strong now and it's just not him   
    • Today's episode was one of my favorites so far! TT's Anita standing up to Dana was perfect. I was surprised with how restrained Dani was, in some scenes, I forgot she was there. The ending "Amazing Grace" montage was brilliant. I like how Vernon's reason complements Anita's emotion. DD was terrific portraying her mixed sense of betrayal and humiliation. I liked her comment about how she condescended to Dani after her breakup with Bill, unaware that she was also married to a cheater. I am going to miss MJ as Ted and I don't agree with the criticisms of his acting. His conduct on social media is a different story. I agree that BC's Martin has come into his own. He and MM have also discovered some chemistry which allows them portray a believable couple. Eva is the most empathetic character for me. Seeing get locked out of the apartment was heartbreaking. I also liked that the writing for Kat has been much more nuanced than one might have expected just weeks ago. I liked the expression on Kat's face at the end when she was embracing Nicole. Kat has probably never seen her calm, poised mother so upset. CM's face portrayed a sense of discomfort now that the carer/child roles have been somewhat reversed. I believe now more than ever that Kat is Ted and Dana's child. Eva is Ted and Nicole's child. Dana switched them as insurance - if Bill came after her to take or harm Eva, Dana would reveal that Eva was actually a Dupree, giving her some protection. She would also be secure in the fact that her birth daughter Kat was ensconced in the privilege and security of the Dupree family. The way Dana raised Eva - "weaponizing" her instead of nurturing her as a loving mother - also aligns with this theory. 
    • @Paul Raven - thanks for reviewing the content for accuracy.  You know, the nice thing about AI is that you can teach it things, so I am having it review the classic AMC Tumblr to increase its accuracy.
    • If you begin where they suggested (#6077), it's VERY easy to follow because it's right at the beginning of a new storyline.   Another story is winding down, but it's fairly easy to catch on. The central characters in both stories (the one that's ending & the one that's beginning) are members of the Madison family.  The Madisons have recently moved from Hollywood to Monticello.  The father (Owen Madison) is an ex-movie producer.  The mother (Nola Patterson Madison) is a washed-up, alcoholic actress who can no longer get a part in a film.  Owen has a daughter named Paige Madison, and Nola has a son named Brian Madison.  The Madison family left Hollywood primarily because the daughter (Paige) had gotten involved with a group of "renegade" young political activists who stole some guns to furnish to South American revolutionaries.  Paige Madison is being targeted for assassination by various members of the group (known as "the Tobias gang").  As a result, Paige has a full-time body guard, a former Monticello policeman who resigned from the police force because he accidentally shot & killed a 14-year-old boy who was armed with a cap pistol.  As the new plot (a movie called "Mansion of the Damned") takes shape,  the existing plot about Paige, the assassins, and the bodyguard comes to a conclusion.  The other characters on the show are all playing supporting roles to these storylines, and it'll be easy to figure out who they are and how they come into play.  
    • Anita said to Leslie what I was always going to wonder. Where can a woman like her go from here? Given the circumstances and all.
    • I think she's her daughter but even if she's not, I can see Nicole forgiving her. The Duprees were kinda painting Eva out to be a victim of her deranged mother today with the way Anita was laying it on think on how horrible a mother she was. Even Nicole used language such as Eva being weaponized against them. She's a psychiatrist and can see that this is a clear case of emotional trauma and manipulation. Nicole is in her feelings right now as she should be but I think she will realize that Eva isnt the villian here and is a victim of sorts on her own
    • I do actually. Nicole seems like the forgiving type; plus she is a Psychiatrist. It is probably easy for her to be sympathetic. Absolutely agree.
    • Dana has proven to be beyond unhinged from day one.
