Unfortunately, the ratings don't look too good. 0.1 rating (same as last week) and 195,000 viewers (a slight increase). These don't seem like numbers that would warrant renewal. .Not being after GIRLS but rather after a new show has really hurt LOOKING. We might be looking at the last season :(

Lol I'm gonna keep an open eyes. You know how it is with soaps. Characters you normally despise all of sudden become tolerable or even likeable once they're paired with someone different or unique. I think this could definitely be one of those situations.

Regarding your post about the ratings it is what it is. I'm in it for the long haul and to the end. I hope the end doesn't happen for quite some time. But I put it down to the the fact that the new show before it isn't that great.

Halfway through Episode 2...so will need to see about a new laptop if it keeps being lik this...lol...and I LOL so hard at that bum...if only because we have one of those by my workplace as well...which is in the gay part of town.

I know Pat/Kevin are wrong, but they were adorable on that bus. And as usual life is getting me down in the dating department so I can't help but le sigh over what I saw. But I also like the subtle little cracks I see in their relationship...because the guilt is all over them.

More later...I hope...

It's funny you should say that. lol. I had a similar (of course) situation with two separate people this very weekend. Short verison...one I am sure is now currently doing just what Pat/Kevin are doing but who am I to judge since I was the original Patrick I suspect...but I said no. lol.

And the other one...is single, but I had his back over a breakup this past week for a week and after a longer period of 'what is going on,' I faced him down last night...and it didn't end well. So since we work together...well...awkward today. So much so I finally had to call it out...something I don't like to do at work. But we have known each other by now that I know when someone is being not-like-themselves. So we are navigating just being friends, but then he has moments where before we talked last night, we kinda comforted each other. And he kinda hinted at that tonight...but I had to back off because I didn't want mixed signals to happen when they know I am interested.

Okay, rant over. lol. But yes, I see what you mean

ETA: Nearing the end of Episode 2x2 and le sigh...Richie. That is all. lol.

YAY!!! CAUGHT FINALLY SO...

EPISODE 3

DOM: I'm enjoying the conflict. I can't lie. I am. It is just so realistic to me. My first serious relationship was with a Russian and one of our recurring problems was the fact that I did not (at the time) have as concrete of a direction for my dreams, but I had a dream. And he would always try to get me to think in terms of stepping stones to something better. Sometimes it would be vice versa. While help is nice, the point of getting the dream is that hopefully you did it versus you got help to do it. And that is what I see playing out with Dom and Lynn. Yes, I know Lynn means well versus my Russian, but Dom doesn't know that. lol. And now Dom is probably going to doubt his ability to get his dream...which will cause conflict in the relationship.

AUGGIE: Still not a fave, but nice to see him working on being a better person. I am also suspecting that if Richie finds out about Pat/Kevin it is going to be from Auggie's big mouth.

PATRICK: Patrick, Patrick, Patrick. SMH. Funnily enough, Him and Kevin after this episode (without the drama) reminded me of my OTHER serious relationship. Lol. The talking. The quick kisses. The cuddling on the couch when they could have gone straight to sex. It is given all of this structure so it's not JUST SEX...which it really has been up until last week. I had read a review earlier that suggested the writers are doing for Pat/Kevin what they did for Richie/Pat last season...making them rootable even though you shouldn't be rooting for them. And the fact that Kevin let Patrick top him...yes, Kevin is falling for Pat. And that phone call at the end...yep, this is going to be messy...

From what I can tell...this season has been balancing the drama and the comedic moments pretty well so far making this season the dramedy that everyone seem to be expected last season.

And love Doris with her black chocolate. Just love seeing her and Dom period.

I cant wait 2 weeks for the next episodes...that's just torture.

I love how as they were cuddling the boyfriend called Kevin and they BOTH knew it. Things like that just interest me and make the show so much more realistic.

Have you seen the previews for the next episode? Something tells me that Richie will discover it on his own...he's a very observant person and unlike Patrick not self-absorbed.

The only thing I can see from Dom's POV is that if Lynn keeps going around town telling people that Dom doesn't want to own his own restaurant or just wants to be a manager it will make it very hard for people to take Dom seriously or consider his proposals. So from that aspect I can understand why he'd be frustrated.

    • I mean, he is but he's also still an ásshole.
    • The most beautiful thing about getting into a new soap opera is getting to know the characters yourself and figuring everything out slowly. And EON is one of the easiest when it comes to that. Pretty soon you are so well oriented in who is who and what are their motivations. I only struggled with the episodes before Mansion of the damned started.  Then after that it's pretty smooth sailing.    
    • I don't hate Hayley but she would absolutely cry about falling for Jacob.
    • @BroderickThank you for the reply. Such acting that they Sharon Gabet and the actor playing Draper still played their relationship after it's over. I picked up on it even though I had no idea about their history. That's such good acting/continuity.  Raven has just moved to London and a custody battle is now brewing for Jamey.
    • Ha-ha-ha, I thought it was Marland who turned Mike into a jerk, but apparently not. I get that they probably felt the Mike/Leslie story had run its course, but they should have at least let them have a kid. Especially since they were soon ensnaring him in a storyline with a woman who couldn't have children (Elizabeth). Of course, no one could have predicted there would be a dearth of Bauers a few years later. I remember this! I remember Holly sitting by the phone, desperate for Ed to call so they could stop the divorce. I forgot it was Rita who never gave him the message. What a bitch.

       But, yeah, this is the Rita I remember at the beginning: very determined to bag Ed. I contend that Holly never, ever got over it, never stopped regretting that the divorce went through. I wish at some point over the years they had let Holly and Ed reunite for more than a brief affair. It feels like a thread that was left hanging. There she is! I was beginning to think I had dreamed up the Rita/Tim/Evie triangle.
    • In the interview posted on knotslanding.net, William Devane described the Greg/Paige storyline as "juvenile".  From that interview I also got the impression that William Devane was on his way out near the end so he wouldn't have returned if there was a season 15.
    • Just started this show. I’m on episode 3. I’m starting to make the connections and understand the family tree better. Still will take time to fully understand everything but it’s exciting. So glad we have a new soap opera in 2025! Excited to join the discussion once I’m caught up.
    • Haley and Jacob had more chemistry in their small interaction than I ever saw between Naomi and Jacob. Same with Haley and Derek actually - that was one of the few times I can recall Derek ever having any life in him. 
    • -- Anita going through Ted and Nicole's wedding album. Really??? -- Dani defending Ted in her conversation with Nicole. Really??? -- Bill wants a child with Hayley. Really??? -- Many people are saying "Dana can't be Eva's mother" because of the way Dana treats her. Maybe she's not her mother, but that biological connection has nothing to do with it. Dana has functioned as Eva's mother all of her life. There's no reason to believe giving birth to her makes the difference. -- Hayley is hilarious for being so clueless and tone deaf when she comments on others' mistakes and flaws. God, she's dumb. -- Alex Alegria continues to suck as Tomas. Soooooo wooden. -- Ambyr Michelle stole the episode.
