Howard has got to be the most charismatic person on TV in a lot of years! He's so wonderful and I'm getting JR feels. I do NOT say this lightly!

Because this is a soap, I'm looking for an out to this ALS sh!t! Let it show that a rival poisoned him and had the diagnosis faked or something! I need Lucious!!!!!

I NEVER thought that Terrence Howard was sexy. But, I'll be damned if I don't want some of Lucious Lyons. But then I was always a sucker for a man in a damn suit!

Definitely looking forward to Lucious straightening out the mess that is Hakeem. It's only right since he helped facilitate the problems between Cookie and the boy by keeping him from her.

I didn't used to think he was sexy either then I saw him on Broadway in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." He's definitely got something. His interviews often work my nerves and my mother can't stand him (Don't ask. It's a Cleveland thing.) but I think he's riveting in this role. Plus he and Taraji just have flawless chemistry.

You know I'm 1/2 devastated and 1/2 excited AF because I can't watch live tomorrow but that's only because Wynonna is in town and I've got some damn good seats! I can't imagine not watching Empire live (the only show on TV right now that I do watch live) but my girl Wy is not to be missed.

I have to stay off Twitter and I hope no one puts too much in their status update.

Spoilers are the devil. Completely ruin my enjoyment. I only do spoilers if a show sucks/is not good enough for me to care enough.

Which is why even those promos people post here and discuss openly have me covering my eyes frantically all the time.

Well these show is open with spoiling stuff in their end of show promos, so you do kind of get an idea of what's going to happen next week somewhat. But I do give Lee credit as he does leave out certain things in the promos. I feel like he displays all the glossy high-action/highly dramatic/comedic scenes but keeps the quiet more poignant scenes secret until the show airs.

    • I absolutely loved the last few episodes—devoured them! If Trisha and Ambyr’s performances aren’t Emmy-worthy, I don’t know what is. I wasn’t bothered by the lawyer girl not being at the gala from the start, or the grandkids being absent, or Vanessa being MIA. It just goes to show how unnecessarily huge the Dupree family is. And like Toups said, you can’t cram the entire cast into a single episode. Oh and the cue when Leslie was having that fantasy was epic, very DAYS-like. They should keep it and develop it   Minor nitpicks: Yeah, Ted seriously needs a recast—been saying that since day one. I still don’t know where he stands, and he just comes off as a generic nice guy. Not having Ted and Bill share a single scene since the show started? Huge missed opportunity. And not having Leslie get anywhere near Bill in one of her wigs? Another big miss. It really weakened the impact of her big reveal about Bill’s involvement. Now it just feels a bit like fan fiction. I’m totally confused by Vanessa and Doug’s “arrangement.” One moment it seems like they’re in an open relationship, and the next Vanessa acts completely shocked when Doug so much as hints at her “distractions.” Huh? Can anyone explain what’s going on there?
    • You’d think he would’ve learned after the way Sprina took off.  I hope we get a proper Emma/Gio/Trina/Kai quad, as friends, romantic rivals, etc. In the few scenes that the four of them have had together, I felt like there was a natural chemistry between all of them, similar to the way that Cam/Spencer/Trina/Joss was, in the beginning.  And, it would be a lot better than all this stuff with Kai’s surgery. 
    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
