Sorry, folks, but I think Patty Williams is a reach. If Mary Jane were Patty, why wait this long to exact her revenge on Jack? It doesn't make sense to me.

Does anybody else LOL when a character says, "No, I am not Okay." It always reminds me of the infamous Brenda Dickson!

Monday's show is awesome! I'm not going into details but I loved the scenes at Crimson Lights. And now I'm convinced that Gloria will be Katherine's daughter if only to intensify the angst of it all.

Believe me I agree, but unfortunately I see it going this way.

LoL, it's silly but I forgot my password and was too lazy to recover it. So, I finally did it tonight. Actually, I did try once awhile ago, but I got frustrated cause it wouldn't work, but it worked tonight!

Oh sh-t I forgot to add that Nia Peebles gave the performance of the year on Monday. Simply flawless. I'm surprised there wasn't more kudos in here.

ETA: I really like Colleen/Rafe. Nice touch there. Also, well done in the reveal that he was gay. It was simplistic, natural, and respectful.

I just watched it and she was brilliant. My favorite part was the slap, it looked like she really hit him hard and I could watch it over and over again. Neil is such a piece of dog crap.

My fear now is that we're going to have Niel/Tyra running around acting like Cane/Lily. Barf.

There was a lot I liked about Monday's show. Jill warning that she's about to blow and planning to tell Ashley about Victor's betrayal but not getting the chance. Jack and Adam having their first conversation since Adam got out of Jail and the dialogue was awesome. Maybe you can keep Zapato and train him as a seeing eye dog, lol. Cane finally did the right thing. When he picked up Chloe in the hug it actually made me smile and Cane has never made me smile. Unfortunately every other show this week has been ruined by the Kevin storyline which should have ended a month ago. After seeing this Monday's show, I think there is hope for the Y&R again.

I just want to say [ a ] LMAO, and [ b ] I totally understand.

Which is why Y&R confuses me...this could be a major draw for them...she actually has some emotional range...why don't they USE her? Although, maybe, that will change?

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
