I felt like I was watching a karmic full circle. It took me back to the way Quad and the others iced Mariah out if the show. Now, it wasn't just Quad, it was Jackie, Simone and Heavenly too. M2M can be ruthless in cutting people. It's like watching an Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority chapter tell a pledge that they do not cut it as an AKA. So it was with the Quad takedown. 

What strikes me is what a narcissist Quad is. She never fathoms that anything is her fault, it's always someone else's. While this M2M season was filming, Quad went on Carlos King's podcast earlier this year crowing about how the season was a 'bore,' how Dr G and his wife were a bore and production begged her to come back and pay her her 'worth.' She was triumphant. Cut to December, and I'm watching the flop resurrection and wondering what the hell Quad was thinking. That contrived nonsense fell flatter than a pancake. Phaedra belatedly realised this was a hot mess and ran from the situation she set up like her house,was on fire. Quad hopped out of that coffin and immediately went into victim mode, blaming all and sundry for hurting her. By that point, the cast had her number and turned the tables on her. If they were so terrible, why was she coming back to beg to be part of the group? Because of the show, and only the show.

As a narcissist, Quad still cannot accept her role in how everything deteriorated. I remember in S1,  Quad was an afterthought. She decided to change all that by turning on the two people she felt were 'holding her back' from true greatness and the next level: Mariah and her husband. As usual, blaming others and acting the victim. This time around, there was nobody left to blame, although she went back on Carlos King's podcast this week to discuss it. CK blew smoke up her ass and told her she was the breakout star of M2M. Excuse me? Breakout? Is she Nene? Bethenny Frankel? Wasn't Sister Circle cancelled (checks notes) two presidents ago?

I'm sure she'll be back, though. As Heavenly said (and I'm loathe to agree with Heavenly), Quad is a user. But she is a lightening rod. I'm not sure Phaedra is a fit for M2M, but Quad does have history with the group. Some corners of social media think her leaving will harm the rest of the season. We will see. The whole thing was compelling viewing but also uncomfortable to watch, especially given that it was Simone and Jackie that sealed her fate.

And speaking of Dr Jackie...

I saw that. Dr Jackie has been up on a pedestal and some of that was starting to crack when Buffie was on the show. I'm thinking she will come back from this, though, but her image her been dented, no doubt about it.

"DONE WITH IT.'

 Yes, the main complaint was that there was no actual apology in that statement! I think Dr Jackie will be forced to release a better, second apology by her team and it may sound a lot like her apology to Buffie at reunion.

Agreed. I dont think there's anything more she can do at this point

Thats not an easy trip too! It takes 6 hours to fly to SF from ATL and then another 2 hours AT LEAST, with no traffic to get to Napa. That has got to be one of the most exhausting way to get fired. They didnt even do it in the morning after she rested. They were no, get your butt up at 1:30 AM so we can terminate you on the spot. That was savage

Heavenly legit is morphing into a Phaedra clone. She is even letting Phaedra dress her down to the wig

Why is this new news to Contessa? Buffie made this claim 2 years ago and has been consistent in her story. 

And the only people that'll be called on the cast is Mariah, Toya, and Simone because they were in the closet. Production will be called too. However, I think Contessa is blowing hot air. Scott will talk her off the cliff b/c if they get Bravo wrapped up in a lawsuit, Contessa will never be invited back either as Bravo will have to hire legal to defend themselves.

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.

      Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

      BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this.

      Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.

      Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
