Was it a new episode? For some reason, I thought that they were rerunning an earlier episode from last year or before. If it is new, then I'll catch it at some point.

Re: Cissy's aversion to Whitney's (alleged) homosexuality. I can't say that I'm surprised that she'd say that, as she never struck me as the kind of woman that'd have a live and let live outlook when it came to this. I'm not sure how I feel about the claim (as per what I'd read in the Jezebel comment section) that she had a long history of being homophobic, though....

After watching that Cissy interview on OWN, I checked out some online clips of The Houstons: On Our Own. It made me SO SAD to see how Bobbi was brushing off her grandmother. I don't see Cissy's book as disrespectful, or trying to "cash in" on their family tragedy (Pat, OTOH...). I think Cissy is devastated, alone, trying to work through her grief, and trying to get the last word, so to speak, on her beloved daughter. What's been said about Whitney for practically the last two decades of her life has been terribly disparaging and I think Cissy just wants the world to know who her daughter was at her very best.

Honestly, I don't think Cissy even knew who the real Whitney was for a good part of the last 15-20 years of Whitney's life.

We'll never get it, but that's why I think Robyn's "testimony" is the missing piece in this Whitney blitz. By all accounts, that was the defining relationship in Whitney's adult life (before their supposed falling out), regardless if it was anything sexual or not.

I agree. I think she would rather focus on and lift up her daughter's best and brightest qualities as she knew them.

I think what was said/unsaid in that OWN interview and by Robyn and others really says it all. I think Cissy has her gut instincts re: the Robyn relationship but without solid proof she'll leave it at, "I don't know for sure."

    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.
    • Jordana Brewster is making a new movie. https://deadline.com/2025/06/rob-riggle-jordana-brewster-the-pirate-king-1236426287/ Kelly Rutherford posing for a magazine cover with her son. Kelly Rutherford Photographed with Model Son Hermés, 18, Years After Custody Battle  
    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested.
