I didn't see that. If they are trying to depict confident women then I agree the message is lost. I see women who would like to be confident and try to act upon what they perceive as confidence but have much to learn and move way too fast for their own good. They need to work on insecurities that they have, Keisha tries to use her booty to symbolize she still got it but it seems that that's a mask for aging and not being that young girl anymore. Val may have compromised herself for a man and she has to get over that the right way, she got lost in those moments a few times. April err, I don't get her emotional issues yet right now it just looks like she married too young.

I'm surprised by some of the dialog on the show. I'm not offended by it but I was surprised that April's husband, immediately after sex, said when he was inside her he wondered where she was. Very risque for VH1. The show feels like a late night soft porn flick on cinemax. I wonder what's next for April. She only seems upset that she got caught and not because she cheated on a great guy. Val is well... Val, and Keisha is still doing her player thang. Why does Rick Fox show up on every single Black tv show. :lol:

Is it me or was April's husband the dude Maya was cheating with on GH?

I notice a lot of these new black shows like this and The Game want to be soaps, but they're afraid to commit and hold that title. The writing is also terrible. I wish they would've staffed this with a staff of experienced daytime soap writers. It would certainly imrpove the quality of these shows.

I wondered the EXACT same thing when I was watching that GH episode! I think it is him.

Enjoyed the second episode! I'm so glad the show isn't done with K.C! Stacey Dash and Tilky Jones light up the screen as Val and K.C wub.gif Anyone else love them as much as I do? I really hope they end up being more than friends. I think Val should stop her dating search and just pursue things with him!

Loved the April drama. I thought the scene where Darryl confronted her for cheating on him was a little cringeworthy, though. LOL that Actor (Darryl) wasn't doing to hot to me.

Still not feeling Keisha but that love scene she had with Malcolm was HOT!

"You should have kept your legs closed then just like your keeping your mouth closed now" Go Pilar Sanders! I was hoping she'd smack April but her words were effective enough. Did not see April being exposed this soon. That was fast but I guess that was needed to set her up as a single lady and recent divorcee.

I didnt like how Keisha's man slept with her after he exposed her past. He didnt bring up his missing jewelry. He didnt realize she stole it last week?

Overall I found the second episode better than the first. Val continues to be my favorite

Guza and Higley are free :lol:

I opened this thread not knowing what this was, and it sounds awful. I just don't know what this trend is all about with a never ending stream of shows about gaggles of girls defined by their matrimonial state. How many shows are there with "wives" in the title? I guess this is the opposite. And this seems to be a female only obsession. Are there any shows with the word "husbands" in the title?

    • They’ve been really nailing the fall out super well and your whole post really highlights some of the great parts and ramifications we’re seeing.
    • I like that this episode highlighted the ramifications of what Eva and her rotten mama did. They were so focused on Ted and Nicole, not even realizing that other people would be affected. Eva thought nothing of what she did to Mona bc she was sure no on would hold anything against her but Mona is right in that they ruined her reputation with the Duprees. They dont blame her but they will likely never trust her judgement again. She has to walk by them feeling the guilt and shame that she'll never live down bc she unknowingly played a role in the hell that was unleashed. Not to mention the trauma and trust issues she no has bc she genuinely viewed Leslie as a friend   And poor Laura nearly died when she had that car accident and then had a heart attack and infection bc she was poisond. She's been recuperating for 3 months. She missed her trip to Hawaii and no idea what impact this has done on her relationship and her own plans but no on was thinking about that.   Eva and Leslie need to be made to feel like ish bc this was bigger than just Ted and Nicole

    • Understand your point.  But I usually see Reginald's mustache twirling villainy as ultra campy bordering on comedic (albeit unsuccessfully).  And upon Reginald's exit, most of the overt camp/comedy seemed to cease. And although I'm aware camp and comedy are not exactly the same thing, I tend to throw them together anyway -- especially when discussing soaps.  You are correct, Mary was not played for laughs.  When I used to term "let's play everything for laughs" I didn't mean literally everything or every character was comedic. But TPTB put so much effort into comedy, it did tend to eat the show for a few years (again not literally). I'm just expressing my perspective on the topic, and lots of folks probably disagree.  That's cool. People who like comedy on soaps tend to defend it, and folks who don't like comedy (or think it want too far) tend to criticize it.  Whichever side of the fence one is on, it sure didn't help the ratings on AW. 
    • Nope, it was not just you, I had the same issues. Most either disagreed with me, or just ignored my comments. But, I most definitely would have liked for them to take another route, even to add sheer variety in the storytelling. It is what it is, the story is a hit with the fans...
    • You may be a casual watcher, but you got SO much right.
    • I've been eagerly awaiting Kate's first episode under the new writers, and I wasn't disappointed. I started reminiscing about all of Kate's misdeeds when she said how good of a liar she was and how she saw right through Roman's lying. I really buy this matured, but still wise Kate in 2025, and the fact that you know under the right circumstances, the more ruthless side is always there, under the surface. Hopefully, with Roman about to confess, we get the full truth about just what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot, then all the major suspects will be eliminated, just for the writers to throw in that wrench that's waiting for it's time to shine. Everytime Brady thaws even a little bit towards Kristen I immediately get concerned. I was entertained by their fight, and it was smart to mention Kirsten having no friends, let alone positive female relationships except for Lani in regards to why Rachel is such a loser. As a viewer, do you think Stacy Haiduk as Kristen was at all thinking about her former friendships with Jennifer and Billie in that moment? I wonder if she's even aware that they were, or who Billie even is. Anyway, I do wish Kristen could have also thrown in Brady's face that he's literally the biggest slut in Salem. Rachel seeing and possibly hearing about him going from woman to woman would also negatively affect Rachel's negative ideals about women, and possibly her own self-hatred. I thought Doug's favourite class being English lit was a good through line from how impressed he was with grandpa Doug's poetry book to Julie. Hearing he dropped out because no one at home cared just made me yearn for more information about Charles LeClair as a father and person. Maybe it was this time that Robert LeClair was dying so Charles was distracted and it all fell apart after that? Alex with Kristen today is the most interesting I've seen him written. He was smarmy and cold and for a quick second looked like he was enjoying playing with Kristen clearly throwing herself at him, but when she dropped her facade he became merciful, but still unwilling to budge. He would have fit in well in the more complex 70s era as a cad with a heart underneath his bravado. However, and I can't stress this enough, I absolutely despise whenever he calls Philip, 'Phil.' It just itches my brain in all the wrong ways.
