IA. Brandi is an alcoholic and her concern for Kim is fake. Kim is the only one that tolerates her (bc she's a drunk herself). They are toxic together and arent doing each other any good. Its disturbing to watch. Brandi is dead wrong for trying to come between sisters. She needs to back off

Kim: She is an a$$hole. I really don't see how she took the interaction with Kyle and Brandi the way that she did. Brandi must be passing her pills or sneaking her booze. She has some of the most easily hurt feelings for an adult woman on earth. She is pathetic!

Brandi: She and Kim have "been through more"? Really? I did laugh at "Kyle is an attention seeking whore, horrible sister, [bleep] of a bitch"...she also remained much calmer, sharper and nastier in the confrontation with Kyle. Brandi's a dirtbag, but at least she can keep it together when she's sober and really go for the jugular. I don't like Brandi at all, she's heinous, but she's met her match in Kyle.

Kyle: She's got this bad habit of squealing with hatred when she isn't getting what she wants. Kyle is furious that she has taken care of Kim, she resents the hell out of her for it. Kyle can't apologize to save her life. Her keen sense of melodrama and that frog croak of a voice she has when things get heated is a real treat. Kyle gets BIG when she gets angry and it's sort of like an overwrought child exploding into a tantrum and it's unintentionally hilarious. Her perfectly timed sigh of devastation when Brandi said Mauricio doesn't want her. You couldn't have written a performance better than that.

Lisa V: She broke my heart. It's the unspoken sadness of an adopted parent when they know that, deep down, in the heart of the child they've raised, those adopted parents aren't quite enough. And that's not wrong of Max to feel, but it's hard for a parent to bear. Particularly when she scooped him up and out of foster care, one of the uglier systems in the world, and gave him a beautiful life. She's handling it the right way, and Ken was right to add some levity with the "Well, your father was Japanese and your mother was Nigerian..." because it's a touchy subject. You could see how giving Max the information about his biological parents was the last thing separating him from total independence and being an adult. And that has to hurt. As an aside, she looked chic as hell in that black dress at the gay mixer.

Yolanda flies off to Italy. Whatever.

Eileen: She said it, it wasn't the time or place for Kim to try and "break the ice" between Kyle and Brandi! I love how Eileen and Lisa R are quiet comrades. Those daytime soap stars know to stick together and they really say nothing at all, as if they had some kind of blood pact when the show started, if so, that was damn smart of them. She makes me laugh with her common sense: "What do you do? Do I get a hose and hose them down?"

Lisa R: She's being kind when she describes Kim as sick. She's kind when she attributes Brandi's behaviour to being hurt. Lisa R is kind and fun and self effacing. I dig her.

Lmao.....if Yolanda has a "life" I sure as hell am not seeing it. Cuz her life seems very empty and boring. Especially now that Gigi has left. I did find it interesting that Mohammed left her 18 months after her son was born. Talk about a hot mess. I wonder how long they were married.

Your analysis of Kyle is interesting but that's usually how it is with some folks. They'll stay quiet and try to keep it all in. But the minute it erupts is nasty and ugly. I sort of see Eileen being the same way.

At least she gave up her endless bitching about "going to go get a Starbucks." Guess she FINALLY got the hint that nobody wanted to get a coffee with her except Brandi. (Which I'm sure she spiked with Bailey's)

With that said it really is sad what Lyme's disease is doing to her. I hope she can overcome all the challenges.

    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
    • I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.
    • Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April. 
    • How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.
    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion. 
    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
