Ms. Kane in Africa. Discuss, bitches! :D

Erica was Erica today. :wub: Loved how she was telling Kwak off. I kept thinking how much better those scenes would've been if Brooke was inserted in place of Krystal. Oh well.

With Krystal those scenes were cute, with Brooke they would have been classic!

I hated how Erica's first African scenes were wasted on a computer chat with Ryan.

Oh, Lord, now Scott's lusting after Annie! So much potential wasted with the Adam/Annie and Scott/Marisa pairings.

Speaking of wasted potential, the Randi/Frankie scenes where she opened up about growing up in foster homes could have been a powerful way to explain her character's motivations, but Denise's line readings just ruined them.

Once again, Debbie and Darnell were good, but imo Angie forgave Jesse too quickly. Where's the payoff?

A fan at SSW told Darnell that, after calculating that Jesse had been gone for twenty years and had a 19 year old daughter, clearly he was able to forget about Angie and have sex with another woman after a mere three months. He jokingly said not to blame him. He didn't write it, so don't get up in his grill. But the woman said her point was if Angie were any other black woman, like herself, Jesse wouldn't have been forgiven so easily.

I wholeheartedly agree. It's cute that this latest lie gave Angie and Jesse a couple days worth of drama, but this is Jesse's third HUGE lie within 18 months. If he were my man, there would be a nice little dog house out back with Jesse's name on it and a fresh bowl of Alpo.

Ugh!! UGH!!! Rebecca Taylor!!! I. Can't. Stand. This. Chick's "writing!!!"

Annie: Adam shouldn't be spending all that money.

Scott: Because you want Adam to spend it on you?

Annie: I'm just saying Adam should worry about his family instead of giving it to Zach.

Scott: His family, meaning you?

Annie: Zach is the husband of the woman who murdered Adam's brother. He doesn't deserve Adam's generosity.

Scott: That's because you want Adam to be generous with you.

Annie: We have a wedding to plan, a life to live. Adam needs to focus on that.

Scott: As long as you are the one Adam's focused on?

Annie: It's Adam's money.

Scott: And you want it to be your money, too.

UGH! Saying the same damn thing sixteen different ways! I HATE THE DIALOG!

Angie did forgive Jesse waaaaaaaaaaaay too fast after she said serious trust was breached *again*. She said she'd help Jesse and Randi out of their trouble but she and Jesse would need time to deal with enormous secret and betrayal...then the next day she's having a date night and playing kissy face like nothing ever happened. Makes no sense, imo.

I keep hoping Vasi is gonna dial it in and bring it, just a bit...with so many terrific actors around her. Nada. Zippo. Bupkis.

The dialogue with Annie and Scott was bad, agreed. AM will struggle with his this darkness they're trying to give Scott. Mayfield's been getting better lately, imo. I wish Annie was going to be cheating on Adam but it looks like that's where we're headed.

Did KWAK invite LaKane to Africa to help the starving kids just so she could be a smartass the whole time? She knows Erica came up from nothing, Erica made her own way more way up more than Krystal ever did. I hope the dialogue is a little more aware as we go along. The Odd Couple appeal of this trip for them could be fun along with the good message of helping feed those kids. Thanks to Susan, Bobbie and others who made the trip and are speaking for Save the Children.

Please stop with the readings from Kendall's book about Zach. KTHX.

Ugh! When they flashed back to her miscarriage a couple of shows back (I didn't see that actual episode) I was astounded... at how BAD that was. It was "Ouch! This miscarriage thing hurts!" caliber.

ETA: Oh! And I cracked up during the scene in the Pine Cone. Randi's telling Natalia how much she enjoys when the baby grabs her finger -- and Vasi literally stops, puts her finger in the baby's hand, and then continues on. It's like OMG! My first instinct would've been to put my finger in the baby's grasp before reading the line to make it look like it was in the moment. Not like "Oh, yeah! Wait a minute. There!"

I wish they hadn't done this Annie and Adam story. Adam is such a side player and the more they twist Annie into these various knots, the more she becomes a cartoon.

    • I thought the same thing outside of Sprina and early Chase/BLQ, but Sinn made me a believer. And that scene sealed it for me. I've been with them ever since.    But yeah, I do feel what a supercouple is...now...has definitely evolved and changed though. That fact, for me, was why Finn and Steffy really stood out for me because while they are their own thing...I don't at all doubt they love each other...no doubt. Making them like the old supercouple at the same time. Liam who?  IKR. 
    • While I criticize their hiring, I fully recognize that they didn't hire themselves. TPTB hired the actors and wrote for them. And no, no one would've been able to step into Bernau's shoes. Pilon at least conveys a certain Machiavellian menace . RR is just wrong for the role, but the subsequent writers all seem obsessed with pitting Alan and Phillip against each other over women. The Lewises, no matter what you think about them, only passed one woman 'round. Alan and Phillip passed around three---Blake, Beth and Olivia.    There is a moment when Van tells Alan--if we marry, don't screw me over or you'll regret it. So I wouldn't doubt that Van would've been the trigger in Phillip's takeover had Maeve stayed. Instead, Henry ends up tipping the scales, while Josh kind of gums up the works (I guess, I haven't watched all of it, I don't think most of it is up.) If they wanted a triangle, they had one--Alan/Van/Ross. With Alan and Ross' history, it practically would've written itself. Maybe our thinking is wrong...maybe Long would've put Van and Ross back together, and broke them up to set up the triangle.  I do think they were flirting with the idea of Rick/Chelsea after Johnny left. There's a point when Mindy comes back to town where Chels thinks Mindy doesn't appreciate Rick enough. I just think that it would've been too weird, having Rick fall for another one of Phillip's ex's, and Mo being her sister and his stepmother. Y'know I am all about any story that gets Van away from ****. Developing amnesia, becoming a bad lounge singer named Panessa who performs poetry in the park. ANYTHING. Did Roger and Billy ever have a conversation after Billy got out of jail? I know Roger told Vanessa he'd been paroled, but I'm not sure they truly crossed paths again. Part of that's timing, but I also think TPTB really just didn't want to bring up that past directly.
    • I picked a random episode from the beginning of November. Visually the show does look great. I was shocked to see quite the love scene between Claire and Holden. The LA bar set looks fantastic and there were EXTRAS! Still not a lot of characters featured in the episode. Liked some of the new music cues.
    • I saw the Lull scenes on X today. Why did they paint Lunacy into a corner? LY has been a gift to the show. Unless she's moving on, I don't get it. So Brad takes Luna out of the show and leaves us with Will, Electra, Remy and Deke for the younger set?

    • Even on mute, it looked all kinds of ewwwww to me.    That said...BILLY FLYNN though. MMMMmmm. I was not expecting all of that under those saggy clothes. 
    • I feel like they finally noticed in the viewing and online opinion that Dani and Andre are where the lightning in the bottle is FINALLY, SORRY, ASHLEY and started to run with it.   That said...I do still worry because it's clear MVJ wants to play Dani/Bill since they were one of the main A stories...helped by Timon and Karla also having great chemistry.   I honestly think they were not counting on a full blown triangle where people are taking sides. Go 'head, Karla Mosley!!! 
    • Like I said before, I was worried, but Jazmen really does have a thing for taking breakdown writers that are not my favorites and making lemonade out of lemons. I'm glad he's sticking around.   That said...I think today was the first time I found him having slang in his scripts jarring. Uh oh. lol. 
    • Count me in on not wanting Bill/Dani to be end game. It takes two to tango, and I think that Dani wasn't this wounded bird in that marriage especially when it has been implied that she's been mentally unbalanced for sometime now (and I think that could be part of the reason Naomi is just damn angry all the time). Dani will break Andre's heart in the same way that Bill broke her heart.  
    • I really hope the writers truly notice that Dani and Andre work and change plans. At the end of the day Bill was still a serial cheater and married his daughter’s best friend. Eva and Kat is my favorite rivalry on soaps.
    • You and me both. As it should be! Watching right now and just getting my life cuz their absence on my screen has been felt.
