"THIS is an ass" rofl

Anika can't really go head to head with Cookie, so it looks like she's going to try and use Porsha to get at Cookie.

Jamal isn't all that bold and brave, it appears. He did exactly what Lucious wanted him to do and that was be pretentious.

I was glad Andre threatened Vernon for putting his hands on him.

Courtney Love was good, I enjoyed her character. Very representative of those artists that crack up later in the careers.

I also don't like how Cookie is being written to her other two sons. You just came out of jail & just going to bond with one of them & put her favorite song against the other.

Is she teaching Hakeem a lesson from the first episode. I hope Cookie hears him calling Camilla mother. & bonding with Anika will open her eyes to what he needs.

Yes, that is what I'm saying. The look she gave Hakeem when she walked off with her fav, Jamal, was not written very well. This young man is not some joe competing with her son. Hakeem is her son, and while I don't expect her to kiss his ass, I do think she needs to keep trying. If Hakeem is a mean little !@#$%^&*], Cookie needs to look in the mirror. She didn't go to jail on trump up charges, bitch was a drug dealer. SHE is the reason Hakeem didn't have a mother, so he has a right to have an attitude. I was not happy with what I saw yesterday because it did Cookie no favors. Be bad ass because those are my favorite characters, but don't give the audience a reason to hate you. It just wasn't right, and I hope this is fixed STAT!

She also needs to make some time for Andre. I think they are doing too much with Cookie while ignoring what a terrible mother she is. Alexis Carrington had her favorite (Steven), and while Fallon annoyed the crap out of her, we know Alexis loved her children. We are not getting that from Cookie, but we should.

    • On GL we only saw young GA's Philip in very short shorts but on AMC we saw GA's Alec McIntyre in a speedo. 
    • I mentioned that last week and I am glad Tate and Sophia just realized that today lol.  I think the show is just tying up some of Ron's loose ends.   You would think Brady, Holly or even Marlena would have perhaps pointed out the age thing to Tate at some point. I am not sure I like this shift in Sophia's characterization though.  MK played Sophia as someone who always defied her mom's rules-she just didn't get caught.  She was openly trying to steal Tate from Holly with no shame, showing up at the Horton cabin in bikinis to seduce him, and blackmailing Holly to work all her shifts at the Bistro.  Once the recast started the show has acted like Sophia's lived in her room, sheltered her entire life lol.
    • I thought Dante was going to put hands on Gio
    • If Jordan never appeared again, I would absolutely not notice or miss her.  So, while Brook Kerr has her flaws, she at least appears to have a pulse and a personality as Portia.
    • That's because India, or the India MKA ended up playing, was created due to the fact that both she and Kristi Farrell were liked by TPTB, but the part they both read for didn't exactly fit either one of them so the show created two brand new characters for both actresses to play (India and Roxie) and opted not to cast the character they were intending to cast (A cousin of Beth's). I think that's why the show seemed to struggle at first with how to write both India and Roxie in their first months on the show because the characters weren't ever intended to exist.  And yes.. Grant A had a great body... but I didn't find him hot when he was playing Phillip.. only when he was playing Alec on AMC which baffles me since it was the same actor in both parts LOL  
    • I shared this on Twitter and good grief the comments. Steffy fans can be such vile real-life human beings over a fictional character lol.  
    • I remember Michael Logan interviewed L.A. actors/production staff about the movie. Susan Seaforth Hayes said she was dying to know Susan Lucci's reaction.
    • Thanks @Franko  @slick jones You may be interested in the Elisabeth Shue mention. I have to laugh that they apparently didn't even know Teri Hatcher was on Capitol. I have scans somewhere of SPW talking with soap actors about Soapdish. Some, like Mary Stuart, were not happy. I never had a lot of interest in the movie myself. 
    • I never had much of a problem with Brandon Claybon's performance as Martin. He has gotten much better though. While I enjoy his confrontational scenes, I must say his lighter, and carefree scenes from Thursday's episode are the ones that stood out most in the last 3 days (to me).   I agree with all of this!
