Vee, you’ve been saying since February 2025 that Joey has a limited shelf life. In the meantime, he’s landed a spot in the opening credits, gotten his own set, gained a sister, and the Abbotts have declared him a hero. On top of that, the very event your theory is based on (Joey killing Doug) looks more and more unlikely.
(Other things you got wrong include saying Ted and Shanice kissed at the beginning of their romance, which they didn’t. And another prediction that didn’t exactly pan out was Dani and Bill reconciling by Christmas 2025. I mean this more as an invitation to a little self-reflection than anything else.)
Deanna talking on the phone while watching a picture of the supposedly dead Doug is straight out of Passions. Come to think of it, when we eventually find out that Doug, Kenny, and Lynette have all been stashed away in some version of Melaswen, it’ll be a twist worthy of Jim Reilly.
I’m happy that, for the second time in almost a year, we actually got to see Izaiah doing his job as a mentor.
I have to admit I’m enjoying Pamela —or rather, I appreciate Cady’s attempt to entertain us with her campy performances. But if running a modeling agency means stopping random people on the street and asking them to model, it starts looking less like a modeling agency and more like a human trafficking ring.
I can’t wait for the next medical drama where Eva rejects Kat’s liver. 😍 I’m also glad Chelsea has gifted us yet another therapy-speak buzzword to label Kat with: “donor remorse.” I wonder what percentage of organ donors actually suffer from donor remorse?
May I suggest the writers give us a nice romance between 45-year-old Noah and 37-year-old virgin teenager Samantha?
I can’t stand Nicole. That woman is completely repressed. It makes me laugh that Naomi calls her the epitome of class. I know that’s exactly what the writers want us to think, but all I see is a woman who constantly represses her instincts and desires.
I have to say I’m enjoying Ashley Jones, and I’m glad they cast an actress against type. What completely baffles me, though, is the weird incestuous undertone in Heather’s relationship with Joey. Was it really necessary to imply that not even Joey’s own sister is immune to his charms? And they’ve barely introduced her before they’re already talking about yet another unseen character (his ex-wife). These writers can’t tell stories with the characters they already have.
Another bizarre example of characterization is Heather not knowing Joey was a cook. The writers explained it away by saying he only learned later in life because their father looked down on cooking. But… doesn’t Heather have Instagram? Doesn’t she keep tabs on her own brother? What kind of mob woman doesn’t gather every piece of information she can about the people around her? It’s the kind of unnecessary layering that only makes the writing more convoluted than it needs to be.
