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.

    • Your haughtiness amuses me in return. Like you think you know ALL?
    • I've seen this error before. I think it should be okay in the future.

    • Ted has been icky and giving off bad guy vibe from the first moment I saw him. I have a sensor for that and it was beeping! So...don't put all the blame on Silkpress. The woman needs a good psychiatrist, true... but Leslie is just one of the skeletons in HIS closet. Ted is even a bigger monster, because he's hidden.  IT WAS A PERFECT REVEAL. Perfect, because in the beginning of the show... Dani was envying her sister's marriage... In these first few messy weeks... her own misery and life spiraling was contrasted to the picture-perfect marriage Nicole and Ted seemed to have. (on first glance). What happened now... is very very smart writing. THIS IS THE MOMENT THE MASKS ARE FALLING! The message it delivers to me is this. It says - no matter how things look... they are not what they seem. You can't judge a marriage by how it appears to be. Aaaand in the long run... maybe the messiest-looking people (Dani Dupree, I'm talking about you!) HAVE less issues and problems than the ones that seem to have it all. The ones with the MOST skeletons in the closets and the dirty pasts.   It was an AHA moment for the whole family and the viewers and a way forward for Dani and Nicole to bond even more and realize they are MORE alike than they are different. Now it will be quite a different dynamic, because Dani will have to SUPPORT someone and not be the one getting her wounds licked always. And also another lesson. Some men are dogs. Not all of them. But a lot of them are. The difference is... some can't be easily recognized. These creeps have put very impressive masks. The show is doing this perfectly. Beat by beat. Exploring classic soap opera themes and stories. Real-life characters and situations, that are relatable and make you think... Hmm... maybe I need to dig a little deeper next time I say "these people are perfect" or otherwise. Maybe I need to think MORE. That type of storytelling. It's not easy to do that.  Brava BTG.  B-R-A-V-A!
    • I speculate that Nicole will go through cycles of numbness/grief/rage.  At some point later on, regardless of DNA results (or faked results), whether there was a baby swap or not, I think Nicole will forgive Eva, and eventually love her someday.  Nicole will come to understand that Leslie gaslighted/manipulated Eva.  Nicole will be her loving self, although more guarded than before.   Just my thoughts.
    • Lol. That comment was just silly.  I feel like The Guiding Light started it when they made me love Roger Thorpe. Leslie is pussycat in comparison and there is a lot of story to go  for her and Eva. 
    • Your posts continue to amuse me. I don't know anyone else who thinks Leslie and Eva should "hightail it out of town."  And listen, soaps have been FOR DECADES keeping around villains who we know would be jailed in real life. So is it crazy to think "they are just going to let this slide"? No. It's kind of hilarious to watch you take everything that happens on this show and distort it or lead me to think, "Huh???"  
    • I can't even count the amount of magazine covers and photoshoots KKL has been in the past few months. Shame that the show is not mirroring the success she's having. It would have been so great to see both KKL and Brooke be on top.  I'm still holding a grudge that Brad rewrote the company take-over to a nothing... and then nulled Brooke to being a romance beggar again.   
    • I'm also getting an error that I haven't seen before, but there's been a couple of different variations, so not going to worry about it for now.
    • Finally got to sit down and watch. Wow!  When LesDanLuAnn said to Ted, this your daughter. I started tearing up...... Eva got me.  I felt like I was watching a soap opera.

    • The drag was when Tad and Edmund went to Budapest (?) in 1997 to get Maddie back from Dimitri.
