I don't think Jeffrey is really in love with Wyatt, it's more like a twisted lust and childish clinging.

Unfortunately, that's common in poor and/or urban communities (some non-urban ones too), many mothers put a man before their kids and chitlin circuit writers never shy away from using it as a theme.

Yeah, it's crystal clear Perry writes and directs---there's no change of tempo or emotional depth. I have no clue about Perry's training in either, but it feels like a high school production.

And I hate making a character stupid simply to further the plot. There's no reason in hell Wyatt's girlfriend should have or would have reacted to Jeffrey in that simple, trusting manner---yet she did.

I wonder if AMC and OLTL airing aren't drawing in some new viewers. I've never looked---is his new comedy making good numbers as well?

It was very soapy (in this day and age) that they had that intense conversation in a hallway at the courthouse. Clearly, they didn't want to build a new set just for that scene.

Don't you just love how after ALL these years, with them all even going to the same church, that suddenly Benny's father wants to be a part of his life?

And then that lousy ass detective acts as if it's some high level CIA sh!t when it's only 2 dumb ass judges who can't see their hands in front of their faces. And if it's that dangerous (if anything happens to me, your son is innocent - LMFAO!), UM YEAH, in the middle of the courthouse corridor? Ok, Toilet Paper!

Now that I think about it that girl was a future Candace. Well Candace is a little more compassionate. There was an episode where she and her friend got all dolled up, went to a party at the frat house next door, her friend got raped at the party and she showed little compassion and actually told her friend to lie about it so her foster parents wouldn't punish her for sneaking out.

    • And her evolution was so subtly done. There was nothing like the depraved shows later on, like Game of Thrones, where they said a woman needed to be raped in order to find empowerment. The layers of Laura were what got me hooked on Knots, somewhere in the season 3 repeats. And I agree that her becoming a therapist would have made sense - look at how much her trauma over her mother drove her decisions early on.
    • I think that the problem with Laura was that she had grown to love herself and saw her value in both herself, her career, and her marriage.  She had this inner strength and confidence that Lynn/Bernard didn't know how to harness/write for because they were more interested in generating conflict amongst emotionally immature people. Karen/Mac and Gary/Val were all immature/stubborn to a fault even though they all had grown/evolved.  So the Latham's could key into their essence/history to generate the standard soap opera tropes and stories for them. Even the season 8 conflict with Laura's pregnancy and Greg not being cool with it didn't diminish Laura's fire and strength.  You saw how she was able to move on and live her life as a single mother because she'd already done that after Richard took off.   I saw her response to Greg's kissing Paige as 'that's my husband and I can't change him.. but once I find something better, I'll toss himself'.  She wasn't emotionally tied to him nor his money.. and I think that was partly why she was such a unique and interesting character in the nighttime soap world in the 80s.
    •   They actually had great chemistry to as friends in the scene I felt. A shame it was the first onscreen interaction. Looks better than Bill/Hayley’s house. I absolutely loved that! I feel the exact same way. This is just facts. Those scenes today between them were electric.
    • If The Real Housewives of Dubai is on hiatus/pause (a.k.a. done), then we need a way for Caroline Stanbury to come back to Ladies of London.
    • I hate quick snip scenes.  Such a tired hold-over from the 1980s.  And that nonsense does not belong on BTG.  Bring back the long scenes.  
    • Eva packing, thinking about how good the Richardson's house smells.

    • In light of yesterday's news...I figured it was okay to bump this up. And probably do a rewatch.

    • I don't really read spoilers, but Perry Shen seems to come and go so even if this is an "exit" it's probably not permanent.
