Married to Medicine

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

LOL...this latter half of Married to Medicine is not gonna be good to Jackie. Her first was CRACKED when she learned where the couple's trip was going to be. Good. She needs to be put to work. Im gonna be here for Sweet Tea coming for her next week.

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.

    • They've added Billy's house. But we don't see 6 or seven sets per episode. Instead it's CL,GCAC,Society and Jazz Lounge everyday and if we're lucky a home or office set. So many characters don't have a home or workplace. And I think they could be clever and use a basic set as an office for different characters. eg hide a window with a bookcase, move a new desk to a different position, new furniture, artwork etc . But I guess that requires a crew and that isn't in the budget.
    • Natalia is back. GH is becoming ff material once again. It's a shame they can't keep up the momentum they had two weeks ago. Lucky is a loser and so is Frank.
    • I wouldn't say Y&R has the smallest budget, nor would I say DAYS has more sets. Y&R has been adding more sets⏤which is great, given their lack of an overnight set crew⏤and they're not the same set re-dressed as something else (like DAYS historically has been doing for years).
    • That’s exactly it. Entire episodes are just two people sitting in a restaurant yammering on about CEO’s or getting coffee in the middle of the night at the always empty Crimson Lights. Where did I say anything that’s wrong?
    • Anita got over being sad and guilty like whiplash. I guess she just needed a Vernon pep talk. Yeah I’m sorry I don’t see the chemistry with nu-Ted and Nicole at all. When Maurice was in the role you could truly feel they loved each other so much and couldn’t keep their hands off each other. I just don’t see this meek at portrayal giving any sort of chemistry. Couldn’t have said it better myself. I wonder how people felt in the 80’s when Drake replaced Wayne as Roman.
    • No question that DAYS has the lowest budget of all the soaps. The only way to overcome that is with good writing, which we are getting on DAYS as of late. More movement? I have to agree. DAYS just feels like it has more energy and actual physical movement among the characters. Scene after scene on Y&R is with two characters sitting at a restaurant table or on a couch having a conversation. It's static -- and it's lazy.
    • JC memoirs Not Young Still Restless she writes negatively about some people. VR memoirs The Women Who Raised Me from what I remember did not really delve into her time on Y&R. VR "novels" Secrets of a Soap Opera Diva and The Young and the Ruthless: Back in the Bubbles its pretty clear who some of the characters are based on.
    • -- I agree that they've taken Leslie's camp as far as they can take it. That works only if there's also a real character there, and we're not seeing that. Every scene with her is game-playing. -- Laura couldn't call IT to have that Notes program straightened out? I get it -- we need to see that Eva is desperately needed, even though she was hired with nothing on her resume that told us she was a tech wiz. But the only person Laura could think of to call was Eva??? -- I would feel more sympathetic to Eva if she didn't continue to cover for her mother, essentially playing both sides. Again, I get it -- we need to see a daughter traumatized by a lifetime of control by her nutjob mother. Still, there's nothing about Leslie that Eva should side with at this point. -- I had to LOL when Anita said she has to call her agent to call off the reunion concert. Huh??? You mean a concert was planned and scheduled even though we haven't heard these three sing a single damn note together?  -- Are we supposed to be taking Anita's side in this Anita vs Sharon battle? Because I'm not there. One day Anita is sad, despondent, and regretful, and the next she's firing back at Sharon and Tracy that "You two are as much to blame as I am."  -- I agree that we need to see the help hired by the wealthy on this show. It's a missed opportunity. -- I continue to like Keith D Robinson as Ted. I think he has more chemistry with Daphnee Duplaix than Maurice Johnson did.
