I just saw it and thought Angela Basset did a good job with the directing. It was well put together and the acting was good.'

However Im upset that they called this thing Whitney when it wasnt about her. It would have been better titled Whitney and Bobby since it was exclusively about their relationship. Nothing about Whitney's childhood and how she became a star. I also hated how abruptely this thing ended. There was like a good 15+ years of her life left! If they were going to make this about Whitney and Bobby, dont stop just as problems star. Go through the ups and the downs and that includes their divorce.

I will say that at least Lifetime was able to use her music so it didnt end up the mess that Aaliyah's movie was

Whitney was doing drugs before Bobby and she got him into drugs and not the other way around? Did Bobby Brown consult on this film?

Them love scenes were pretty risque. I wasnt expecting to see Bobby's head between her legs and him pretty much nekkid. Remember Bobbi Kristina got all offended that AB didnt choose her to play Whitney. Did she really want to do those scenes against someone playing her daddy?

I imagine a lot of people will call her an opportunist, but she kept silent after the likes of Bobby Brown dragged her and dragged Whitney through the mud for years. I'm glad she is telling her story.

I still remember all the rumors about "Nippy" BITD.  Depending on what you heard or believed, she was a lesbian, a two-timer (Eddie Murphy AND Randall Cunningham) or an all-around ho.

I watched Robyn's Dateline interview a few hours ago, and I agree.  Their friendship was long and intimate and I have a feeling Robyn knew Whitney at her most authentic self.

I do think Robyn was Whitney's soulmate and the one holding her together as much as she could. You could tell in that Dateline interview how much Robyn still loved her and how much it stung to be cut out of Whitney's life when she was.

 

I don't think anyone knew Whitney the way Robyn did, and despite Cissy's (and others) objections, Whitney brought Robyn along before and after she experienced success. Probably because she trusted her deeply and knew no one would look out for her the same way. And really, we've already seen that no one else in Whitney's circle had the same kind of respect for her - especially her own damn family.

    • I'm really liking Izaiah and Eva so far. And why can't I help but feel that something might happen to make Jessica stay in Fairmont Crest permanently? 
    • So Pam didn't create her? I thought she had the whole of 87-88. I'll look around, thanks for the point in the right direction.

      date: Tuesday, November 18, 2025 | Jamey Giddens, Danielle Paige | Steven Williford Samantha, accept the fact you were in the wrong and do not deserve your digital devices. Do not like it? Go upstairs. Read a book. Do some knitting. Bradley and Martin's "we get it" to Tyrell was hilarious and absolutely a parent's thing to do. Loving a bit of history of both the Duprees (via Eva) and the Hawthrones (via Izaiah). So cute. Poor June. I am sure she did not purposefully mean to mess up; we have all been there working in customer service. Shake it off and keep on keeping on! Not twice a week for Vernon's cobbler order... Sharon must be using that as payment for their meetings. I appreciate that Ted still cares about the Duprees despite the end of his marriage to Nicole. Not Dana using Peaches' crisis as a way of taking Ted's attention away from a co-worker. Girl, do not be so obvious. Bradley is a man after my own heart with a simply divine chocolate milkshake. That is the way to go. Dana really needs to dial it back. Money will not buy her everything she wants and she will realise it soon enough. And I doubt Shanice is scared off by her idle threats, either. "With all due respect, Ms Thomas, this isn't a shopping mall." Oh, Dr Wilkes just owned Dana's arrogant ass. I love it. Wigs and personas? Okay now, Shanice ate with that read. I like that June assured Bradley that she will not replace him or Martin in the twins' lives. And that blood does not make a parent. Words never rang more true. Jessica reading Samantha was amazing. Dana would want to involve Ted. Her obsession is crossing beyond dangerous boundaries. Not Dana catching Vernon leaving Sharon's room at the country club. That is not good. Not good at all! Notes: Ugh. Not another breakdown from writer2. This week was going so well. Thankfully, Paige is an outstanding scriptwriter (one of this soap's best), and her words today are excellent. The food at Orphey Gene's does look bomb, so I do not blame any of the characters for uptalking it. I would eat there daily if I could. And gain hundreds of pounds, too. David Lami Friebe (Izaiah) continues to make me sick watching him, but he is nice to listen to. I still really like having June as the central person hub at Orphey Gene's. That familiar face you see when you walk in and have scenes. Dana wanting a second opinion means we could have an incoming doctor, right...?

    • I am sure "no one cares" and it's not a big deal to some people, but this thread is full of certain posters calling out women's ages, their viability to have children at like 35, and their nail polish, but we celebrate everything Chandler Massey does and applaud any male shirtless scenes.  And then posters walk back being like it's just a joke and weren't serious lol.
    • I'm so glad she's still on the show. Seems like she may have dropped a hint about the real source of conflict between her and Dee, too. 
    • I don't know how reliable the information is, but from what I've read, he joined GH in 1977, and Alan (who started airing in September 1977) was one of his creations. That should have been enough time to get the show in better shape by the January 1978 episode we saw, but then again, shifting from a 30 minute to a 60 minute format is a big transition, one that requires a lot of filler scenes like Monica having a long flashback to a scene that must have only played out a few weeks earlier. 
    • I agree. She said, "I do," and then decided, "I don't." I wish Nikki Abbott had been a longer duration. I wholly prefer Nikki with Jack than I ever have with Victor, and today's episode proved that. And I never minded Ashley with Victor.
