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.

@Taoboi Dr Jackie released a second apology.

I think it's time to move on now and stop bashing this woman's medical practice and, I believe, her genuine vocation in life.

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.

Tea came for Jackie's neck and I was here for it! Finally someone told that condescending bish to STFU! Jackie was so rude and demeaning referring to her as baby girl. Tea caught hte shade and responded accordingly

      -- Jesus, that was bad. -- If we're going to bash Will's face-making, we can't let Luna off the hook. All that scrunched-face crying was annoying. -- Still no explanation as to how Luna escape, leading to utter stupidity that she gets away AGAIN while Will just stands there. -- Meanwhile, the entire cast hilariously gets texts about the jail escape and heads to the beach house.

      I knew Ray Wise looked familiar (beyond How I Met Your Mother, which I also watched, where he replaced Eric Braeden!).

      GH really needs to keep the WSB honeypot away from Emma, and especially from Gio. If they want to put the two of them in a triangle with someone, it should definitely be with Trina. And, while I don't like Sidwell or this storyline that much, that was a really good ending. I didn't see it coming either.

      Guiding Light Discussion Thread

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      In regards to Long's 2nd stint, it appears as though she officially came back as head-writer between the 4th of July/Bauer Barbeque episodes 1987 and mid August 1987.. and then between April and September 1988 were episodes written by the scabs.  I almost count her having 3 stints head-writing Guiding Light since the writer strike lasted five months. In her 2nd stint, she seemed focused on the following: - Sonni returning from the dead thus keeping Reva/Josh apart yet again so she naturally turns to Alan and causes the ending of the Vanessa/Alan relationship.   I wonder if Maeve's decision to leave affected some of this because she was gone by January 1988, a few months after Long's return so she had to come up with a way to get Vanessa to take off (and it was to be there for Billy during a low point if I recall). - Phillip/Chelsea were pretty heavily focused on during this 2nd stint period and I liked their rapport. - A lesser focused story in the background was the Lillian/Hawk/Sarah situation - Formulating her next version of the 4 Muskateers with Cam/Dinah/Harley/Alan Michael... but in order to include a more rough around the edges Harley.. Dinah was softened quite a bit (though I did see a cat fight between Harley/Dinah where Dinah belted Harley so I think Turco could have played an edgier Dinah). - There also seemed to be a Spaulding takeover going on with Phillip trying to oust Alan.. and it affected his relationship with Chelsea. Post-writer strike, I noticed that the Phillip/Harley arc kicked into gear with him pretending to be 'my fair lady' with Harley.. but trying to set it up to look as though they were sleeping together.  That arc plus the aftermath of Maeve's death were what Long started when she came back after the strike. I don't know how the Alan/Reva situation would have gone had CB remained in the role and if the writer strike hadn't happened.

      I've only been solidly watching the show for the first time the past few months. I was familiar with parts of the show and some of the character just from being a soap fan. I do have to say that I am enjoying GH more than any other shows right now. Sure, it has flaws but it seems to move along fairly well, and most of all, the eye-candy. Damn, there are so many cute men on this show. Nathan and Michael are at the top of my list.

      I have to say that I was honestly surprised by the exit this week. With spoilers and casting news, it is tough to pull off an honest shocker, and this shooting actually made gasp out loud.  I would bet many of you would enjoy it, if you watch it more regularly, I know that has been my experience this month.

      2025: The Directors and Writers Thread

      I believe she is talented and maligned for a reason. I fundamentally disagree with what she thinks soaps should be. And I am far from a traditionalist when it comes to the genre. There are many direct sources of her behavior and bad decisions, and my own eyes watching ratings decline after sweeps bumps on her her shows, it’s pretty clear she survived in power, especially at GH, specifically because the genre was declining. I will not further derail this thread with JFP unless it is pertinent. But I finish with this. She was asked directly over the years if she regretted killing Maureen off from Guiding Light. And for years she said she did. But someone pinned her down when she was at Y&R the first time, Michael Logan perhaps, and she admitted what she regretted and would never do again is making the audience care so much about a character right before killing then off. The tragic nature of the story leading into killing Maureen is what she regrets, not that she misjudged the audience, or that she didn’t have the foresight to see how destabilizing that was going to be for that particular show.
