Wes, Laurel & Connor are my absolute favorites. I hope he's saying what I think he's saying because I want to see Michaela's reaction to THAT!

The court room scenes are becoming the most boring thing about the show at this point.

The male lead of this show is annoying me with how stupid he is, or maybe it's just the way the actor is playing him. His gullibility makes me want to push him off a cliff. "You're calling Lila's phone?" I mean really, did we really need to know that? Or is he just inanely stupid.

Annalise, says the same thing each episode. This is the time where you prove your worth.

Micheala Pratt, is becoming my favorite of the bunch.

The naive guy who apparently was in Harry Potter is quickly becoming the weak link which is sad cuz as a person of color I was hoping he'd stand out and be the one to root for. instead he comes across as very weak and dumb. His voice is very childish and I just can't take him seriously.

That aside the cast is really really good. And the dynamics at play between the 5 of them working for Annalise is really starting to get good. I didn't like how the gay guy took pleasure if making Michaela suffer over her fiance...that was a low blow. But the guy does it so good.

Frank developing a little crush I did not see coming. And the way the case this week just stalled was sort of weird.

Oh snap! I didn't see that coming but I ain't mad at it. Shaw was hot. But she foul for leaving her kids. I hope she gets hers... I need this to pop back up. I'd drop the case personally but that's just me.

I loved her line to Michaela... it is so true but it could be said to and about anyone. I need these people to get flashlights in the near future.

Annalise should not be trusting that cop, I'd pick one of those kids before I'd go to him. She humiliated that man on the stand and she thinks he's going to help her all willy nilly?

Connor was so swole that he loss his prize. I like Laurel, a lot... I was so indifferent to her before the show but I really like that character.

Oh hey, another Orange Is The New Black actor... Ms. Alysia Reiner at the end of last night's episode plays(ed) Fig.

Did you see his other pics SS? He posted like a crap ton right before S2 of OITNB. He used to be like a trainer or something dealing with weights. It just looks so off when you see his head/body ... but he built. Mama like.

I think the case of the week should be done away with.. perhaps make the case span a couple of episodes instead of one episode.. have multiple cases that start, climax, and resolve at different speeds. We could get to know the five players, two law associates, plus Annalise better this way.

I had high hopes Annalise would be a ball buster.. but the way she acted all weepy with copy man in episode 2 reminded me of Olivia Pope... ugh.

I found it believable but they played it too straight. They should have played this out a bit longer, had him drop hints maybe about him knowing something she didn't and have her slowly unravel on what his secret could of been, maybe even start a triangle. But at the same time I am glad it was a non-event because the boyfriend is a dead end actor, who is the least interesting of the three of them and Scandal doesn't need to start up this C story anyway.

I did find him kind of mean spirited, but it was also written oddly. It seemed like the guy wanted to bond with her over the fact that they banged the same guy, mean while Micheala was having this crisis of faith over her boyfriend. Just really weird cross purposes there.

I agree with them needing to do arcs, instead of the procedural case of the week. I don't care about them and it's becoming formulaic. As to Annalise's character I like that they are making her multi-dimensional and giving her vulnerability underneath the tough demeanor. I think Viola Davis excels at that kind of vulnerability which is why she was given that Academy nomination for The Help, and given that killer scene at the end of the film. But I do question her frame of mind, she strikes me as being a character that is very grounded but at the same time about to collapse underneath all of the weight and pressure. She's had three or four exchanges already where she's about to crumble over various men in her life. Be it her husband, her student and her boyfriend. Why are these men so important to her, and why do they effect her so? For this reason I actually think Olivia Pope is a more stable and healthier character of the two of them. I have no doubt that Olivia would shut everything down in the White House and then have a nice date night with her chosen man, Annalise feels like she's about five or six steps away from a breakdown, given the wrong day.

I want to support Shonda as a producer, but this show is already a frantic, hideous mess and has lost my attention. The acting is poor, especially from Harry Potter kid. At least Scandal has a handful of fantastic actors (Bellamy Young, Jeff Perry, Darby Stanchfield, Kerry when she applies herself) to make up for the often weak, repetitious, and contrived writing. HTGAWM has Viola, and forgive me, but she seems uncomfortable in this role. This is an Angela Bassett role, in my opinion.

Need to catch up on Parenthood.

    • Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      Got another sad news from the Bahamian community (not a celebrity)  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJMSrYCgyes/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Former Bahamian Senate President J Henry Bostwick, Husband of former 1st Bahamian Female Cabinet Minister Dame Janet Bostwick is dead yesterday on his 86th birthday.    Thanks and for those who've aren't familiar with the talk shows in The Bahamas on this thread here, his talk show named The Freedom March with Dr Rodney Moncur that airs on ILTV and The Beat 103.5 FM Nassau every weekday afternoons. IIRC, he suffered a illness before he died.  Here's the link for his final taping of the show before his death: https://ewnews.com/this-is-powerful-rodney-moncurs-final-sign-off/
    • (video, sound up) https://www.instagram.com/p/DIopBYDOGwy/ April 19, 2025 theonlydaphneeduplaix I’m not a fan of running. I’m not a fan of biking. So instead, I do what I love to get me revved up!!! . What that 20 minute warm up always looks like for me. What do you love that gets your body moving? LET’S GO!!!!!!! #DanceItOut #NoExcuses #FitOverFourty #TakeYourBodyBack #FindWhatGetsYouMoving     .           .
    • One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
    • You're welcome. Fall 1982-Spring 1985 was the peak of primetime soaps. What a time to have been alive.
    • 1990/91 Cheers, Roseanne, A Different World, The Cosby Show, Empty Nest, The Golden Girls were still Top 10 shows, and Murphy Brown and Designing Women became Top 10 shows. It was the following season that I think was the transition season for sitcoms.
    • @xtr I loved Martin in Thursday's episode, he was almost a different character. I thought he was flirty, funny, carefree, and giggly. Glad I have someone to share my top 2 women(Nicole and Eva) with, I agree Nicole is the heart of the Dupree family, and also the heart of the show IMO. We rode into the show on the passenger side of her car, lol. What I am enjoying the most about the show, is that they did such a great job character building, because all I care about is the CHARACTER journey. Nicole, Eva, Leslie, Dani, Chelsea, etc. very invested in what's coming next. I even feel that way about Mona, Shanice, and Doug.  
    • I know we have discussed the fact that Another World seemed to be planning a location shoot in Finland that got cancelled. I came across this item from the syndicated Soapbox column published June 14, 1982. "Soap operas have been experimenting extensively with on-location shooting in recent years to enhance storylines and increase their viewing audience. A major drawback is the added production costs involved. Another World, for example, cancelled a special trip for Victoria Wyndham (Rachel Cory on the show), who was scheduled to shoot scenes in Finland. The producers felt that the high price tag, along with resentment of the cast members who also wanted to travel but were to be left behind. was enough to scrap the whole project."  
    • A few more thoughts about these last two episodes. I thought it was interesting how much disdain both Dani/Anita have for Eva. I thought it was amusing how Dani was calling her lying/conniving and how Anita pointed as if to say, "that part". They definitely are not here for her, and I could see them having harsh confrontations with her in addition to Leslie. I'm curious to see Kat's interaction with Eva on Monday's episode. I think it might be interesting if Kat (along with possibly Naomi/Chelsea) come around to Eva before Dani/Anita do. Of course, Kat will be understandably angry at her. But maybe a tiny part of her might feel sorry for her if she really does believe that she's Ted's daughter as well and that Leslie lied to her. I could see Kat confronting Eva again and warning her not to harm her family anymore. But I could also possibly see Kat admitting that what Ted/Leslie did regarding her was messed up as well. And maybe that will pave the way down the line for them to get along better. I also agree with the comments/speculation made in the threat that Nicole will eventually accept/probably love her someday as well. I still wouldn't mind if somehow Nicole ended up being her biological mother. They have both been acting like they care for each other in this storyline. Nicole somehow ending up being her mother would be soapy and provide some more interesting layers in this story. And regarding Andre/Dani's romance it seems like they are genuinely developing feelings for each other. I have missed episodes, so maybe more of this has been elaborated on. But it seemed like there was genuine affection between both of them when they snuck a kiss publicly in the hotel. And also, them both talking about going publicly with their relationship. I wonder what everyone's reactions will be should they be caught by someone together. Of if they flat out tell everyone about their relationship.
