I speak from personal family experience when I say that it's not even remotely unheard of for a man to claim, or have contact/relationships with some of his children and zero with others. I have cousins in their forties who I'm just getting to know via Facebook, while I had close relationships with their half-siblings all of my life.

Great show!

First things first...someone please tell me when did praying get to be so damn sexy! Andre and his therapist were blazing. I was hoping that she was about to give him some physical therapy. And so did he by the look on his face when she said pray after he started to go in for a kiss. I don't like to be foiled like that. Not one bit! I am going to need that [!@#$%^&*] to happen. ASAP! Writings wise it make sense for Andre to want to leave Rhonda since he has given her his proxy. That will be a nice little fight there for next season. Besides, I can't get with Rhonda. She's just not my kind of bitch. I did try hard to like her because I love a social climber/gold digger. Moving on. I was hoping this would be more about Andre but I see that they couldn't spare the airtime. Had to show Hakeem and Jamal sanging. *side eye*

Lola. How dare this show tempt my ovaries with such a cutie and snatch her away. I can't decide whether Lucious is the father or not. I am going to say that he is. And i will assume that he is letting her go with her mother because his little fantasy that he cooked up with Cookie isn't going to happen. Or because he doesn't necessarily want her around reminding everyone of his nefarious deed. Or maybe he is just being kind to the mother and the child who obviously missed her mother.

It was amusing to watch Lucious catering to Cookie's whims trying to satisfy her. I like this turn about of him wanting her with her not wanting him. He is going to kill Malcolm when he finds out that Cookie has slept with him.

I am also going to need Jamal to stop sticking his forehead to guns like he has a death wish. I really do wish Lola was his. I am not sure that he and his new boyfriend are equally yolked either. Although Lola isn't his, Jamal will probably want kids one day. New boyfriend doesn't seem like he would. Too bad cause they are so pretty and sexy together.

Vernon is has a drug problem. I always wondered about the to which he is shown randomly talking to in the park. I just assumed a friend but now I believe that is his sponsor.

I am not mad at Lucious for getting rid of Camilla. Am I to believe that she was genuine in her feelings for Hakeem? Spare me. I will never believe it! Never!

Where's all the discussion, people? Last week we had like 10 pages by this point, lol. Jamal with hair? OMG, bad hair department day. Andre and Jennifer Hudson. Hello!!!

"Pray with me!" never was hotter. Those prayers consisted of eye fucks. LMFAO!

Who cares about Camilla, Hakeem? Cougar lady can just be gone.

Raven looking like a hot mess. Yikes!

See now, I don't even think Lucious was lyin'. That baby is definitely his.

    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.
    • Wait - so no Will, Jack, or Jen at John's funeral? That’s just weird. What was the point of bringing them back then? Did Julie and Maggie even show up? I mean, seriously.
