I liked Katherine's reaction to Amanda's attempted suicide. She actually does love her despite the way she treats her.

LOL at Candice calling Wyatt a thing. Ugh though to Jeffrey manipulating the breakup of Wyatt's relationship. He is abusing his power as a professional to further his obsession

ugh with Selene's skank ass? Doesn't she have a husband? Is he not giving her any at home? She is so thirsty. LMAO at Jim telling her he never loved her.

So it looks like Amanda may blame Candice a bit for her rape. Good. I think it possibly adds some layers to her as she was too cookie cutter naïve good. She needs to start lashing out and showing emotion.

Wasn't Amanda raped like 2 days before her suicide? She can already tell she's pregnant? Please tell me this is explained bc she is inexperienced and just dumb. I knew she'd either be pregnant or have HIV, but dang, this is happening fast if they are going that route. I had to laugh when she said she was pregnant bc its so ridiculous. "I feel it growing inside of me"

Amanda: "So you're saying Im too dumb to read a pregnancy test?" YES!

Anyone else think Wyatt's girlfriend looks similar to Brianna Brown?

Just caught up with the last two episodes. Or Lordie. OK We've been told how incredibly smart Wyatt is and he has squandered that with the drugs... I don't know what made them think he was smart. He has no idea what a friendship bracelet is. *pause* "What's that?" He still needs "evidence" that Jeffrey is in love with him? (Oh and I thought Wyatt gave him that bracelet from before, but now we're told that Jeffrey fetched it out of the garbage...) But Jeffrey has the emotional intelligence of an 8 year old with a crush on her best friend's older brother, so... How he got a therapy degree is amazing--maybe he was raped by his prof too.

Wyatt and how he delivers every line passive aggressively exactly the same--even the "nice" ones is hysterical. As is that detective who apparently now kinda has a heart....

OWN must be making a big profit on this--each episode looks cheaper than a PP online soap.

If Wyatt knew that Jeffrey retrieved the bracelet from the garbage, why did he confess to having given the bracelet to Jeffrey? I'm keeping my eyes on Wyatt!

The scene between Benny's father and the detective was all kinds of heinous! No audience should be subjected to that, and it's so unfair to ask. Wow!

And why in the sam hell does Benny's father look like Johnny Witherspoon?! It's so distracting!

I knew Candace was probably raped and that's how she lost her virginity. I guessed that before Amanda got raped. I guess all the young people on this show are victims of sexual assault.

Jefferey was so pathetic in last night's episode.

It was probably a bf of Hanna's that raped Candice and that's why she hates her mother. If she knows, Hanna probably accused her of lying or even seducing him to hurt her and their relationship has gone downhill since

Is that you Tyler?

Jefferey was so pathetic in last night's episode.

Him crying outside the hospital room was so pathetic. Wyatt is hot and has a great body but what are you in love with? He talks down to you most of the time and clearly doesn't like you. Damn there are plenty of men he could be with but you know Tyler living vicariously through this character.

I cringed when Candice was like "I've been around gay men all my life. I love the kids!"... idk why it was just forced.

If Wyatt knew that Jeffrey retrieved the bracelet from the garbage, why did he confess to having given the bracelet to Jeffrey? I'm keeping my eyes on Wyatt!

Yeah, honestly I'm actually on the fence if that was just a clumsy re-write (or they forgot the original story) or if it was meant to be part of Wyatt's clever test. LOL The way this show is, it could be either...

Why was Wyatt's girlfriend SOO nice to Jeffrey when he came over? Another truly stupid character? He's been a huge jerk to her and implied they were barely ever friends, yet she runs up to him and gives him a hug?

All of this time I've doubted that Tyler Perry truly scripts all of these shows himself (I mean how busy is the man--quality of his work not withstanding) and had a team he just doesn't credit. But the dialogue for every character is so similar, maybe I was wrong. It's all written in the same "So how are you?" "How am I?" "Yes, how are you." "Oh, I thought that was what you said well how do you think I am?" "How should I know how you are?" style with a clever or funny (or half the time a tries too hard to be clever or funny but fails) quip or insult or metaphor thrown in every so often--honestly Wyatt's odd thing dialogue to Jeff about how he's using his words like pennies to fill a piggy bank or whatever was just "Huh?" to me. (I mean I get it but it was a clumsy metaphor at best.)

Welcome to Tyler Perry-land! (I kinda hate saying that because sexual abuse has been a personal issue within my own family and an important subject but the way Perry deals with it is just so camp.)

BTW here are the brief write ups for the final three episodes of this half season:

14 "My Name Is Veronica"^[24] August 20, 2013 (2013-08-20) TBA Veronica collects enough evidence to send it off to David, which in turn exposes the conspiracy. Katheryn gets nervous when her secret almost goes public. 15 "The Truth Will Set You Free"^[25] August 27, 2013 (2013-08-27) TBA After her secret is reveled, Katheryn tells everyone what she really knows about Jim's secret activities. Jeffery finally discloses his love for Wyatt. 16 "No More Hiding"^[26] September 3, 2013 (2013-09-03) TBA Jeffery tells his parents that he's gay. Hanna discloses that Tony is actually Benny's father. Candace informs Amanda that her parents are keeping her inheritance.

Absolutely!

Is "the Kids" an affectionate gay term I simply have never heard before--maybe around black American culture or.... umm something? I believe she ud that term a while back as well. I can see Tyler at his laptop so proud for knowing to use that term

Is that you Tyler?

LMAO!

Last night's eppy was a mess! 50 steps forward [with the prior eppy] and 10 million back. The only saving grace for me was Veronica!

Kathryn loves her daughter? WTFev! Sh!tty time to break that news to her, Hannah.

I agree. I truly DID feel like I was watching Passions last night.

We've had 13 hour episodes and... how much story? I mean even the 30 min PP soaps which must be on a similar budget had a TON more story by episode 26.

Yeah it is, I guess because I know Tyler probably wrote it I cringed at it. LOL.

Show hit another series high with 2.141 million viewers last night. For all the sh-t I talk about it, I view more as a comedy these days than a drama. Helps me enjoy it more.

It's interesting, that the one soap staple Tyler hasn't touched on, is the pairing that the audience could support in wanting to see them together as a couple.

Candy and Jim

Wyatt and Jeffrey

Jim and Celia

Benny and what's her face
