I just streamed Gloria's return and it honestly felt like a Pratt episode because it made no sense. Yes, I love Judith Chapman, but Gloria not being aware of Chloe being back and that's she with Kevin? Cmon. Gloria was all over 'FacePlace' as I recall and are we to believe that Chelsea wouldn't mention Chloe to Anita who would go to Jeffrey etc. Again, like so many Pratt episodes the individual scenes were ok and provided good laughs but it just rang completely false. If Gloria said I came back because things were getting too tight with Kevin/Chloe, I'd buy it. And even though we really don't need another woman in Jill/Nikki age group, Gloria does pull together a lot of characters that need some cohesiveness.

Well, to be fair, who would tell Gloria that Chloe and Kevin are together? I doubt they'd advertise all over "FacePlace" and Michael and Lauren know how Gloria feels so why would they say anything? I agree it was kind of jarring she didn't know but when you think about it, it makes sense she was in the dark. Why would Chelsea say anything either?

 

Today's episode is really enjoyable. I really like Thompson as Billy. So, haters gonna hate but I think he has great brother chemistry with Maitland and Davidson.

 

Devon and Hillary actually seemed like a couple in love and Oregano's former place is decorated really nicely and Hillary looks AMAZING and FLAWLESS

Chloe has been living with Chelsea for almost 6 months.  And I can't believe that Kevin, Chloe and Chelsea wouldn't have posted a single picture that would 'reveal' that Chloe and Bella aren't in their lives. No Bella/Connor at pumpkin patch pix, etc? Right. Not to mention the GC Buzz piece that makes it clear that Chlesea/Chloe are tied to hip. If Gloria wasn't established as social media savvy, I'd concede it. She'd definitley have seen the GC Buzz viral video of Mariah aka Kevin's 'best bud.'  Are we really to believe Gloria not only cut herself off physically from her children, but also stopped monitoring their every move? Again, it's not a big deal but it concerns me that the writers are falling back to quick staged plot points to fill airtime.

Gloria not knowing about Kevin and Chloe getting back together isn't that big a deal for me. They literally just started dating again and they've been keeping it on the down low. Chloe just moved in with him like what? A couple weeks ago?

I thoroughly enjoyed today's show. 

 

Jack playing grinch is understandable. He shouldn't accept billy or forgive him. However, I think the show has effectively made him the bad guy. And PB managed to convey some regret in Jack's stance in not forgiving billy and phyllis. So it's clear that phack aren't done. And as I thought earlier, Lauren's story is going to really be a phack story. Next Christmas, they'll be together. Operation redeem Billy is in full effect. A gift for Mrs Martinez? I guess. 

 

Gloria was funny but I didn't enjoy those wise cracks about that child. She has no reason not to accept Bella. Chloe isn't foisting her on Kevin any more than she did Delia. What's the difference? 

 

Devon and Hilary were great. And I agree with @KMan101 in that they finally looked like a couple in love that actually like each other. Even when Hilary was curbing him earlier in the episode, it had more affection to it. More authenticity. See, Hilary can scheme and win without those looks behind devon's back. It's unnecessary. 

 

I see folks saying devon is weak for giving her what she wanted but really, he didn't give in to anything. He still expects her to uphold the same standards as before. He's given up nothing. 

 

I also appreciate what they are doing with the agent. He's making it clear that hilary has a huge career ahead of her and could go anywhere but she's choosing to stand by Devon because she loves him. At this point, the audience needs to hear that over and over.

 

Lily needs a story!

 

Each set was lavishly decorated. Those trees were gorgeous. The show looked lush and like the residents are wealthy. Mal has done a great job with that.

    • And it will also eventually air S2, which will air its finale in Canada this Thursday, May 15th! https://tvline.com/news/law-and-order-toronto-criminal-intent-season-1-2-the-cw-1235449356/ As an American that has managed to watch it in real time, it's very good. Frankly, I think it's the best of the L&O franchise as of now.
    • You are getting like me. It's getting to the point that without any Damian sightings...it's been the fashion that is holding my interest. And it should not be that way at all. 
    • I don't mind Jan either. If anything, they could be using her more to get her daughter's POV. Not to mention her role as one of the Have-Nots.    I also don't mind the local talent. Just look at soaps that were in NY or the shows that film there, they always go for the local talent and we get to find new faves. 
    • I'm not going to watch (because...well...that M-dude...lol) but knowing the history between Henry and Roger, I could see Henry wanting to enable Hart to stay independent of Roger. I could even see it as Henry having the last laugh at Roger. Roger hated "the Henry's" of the world, which basically meant anyone who had money and social prominence. Twice Roger swindled Henry out of a chunk of his fortune, so giving some to Hart, who hates his father, is a form of karma.
    • Ashley and Derek have to go- they really throw off the pace of the show.  Today was the first time I fast-forwarded through their scenes. The writing and acting is just bad for both characters.
    • Jon is stuck in a story that isn't popular but with Cady I feel like the issue is that she was clearly thrown in with no real purpose. I still don't understand why she pops up. I recall early on it being said she owned a spa but we've never seen it. That could've been an interesting location for people to meet. She also could've worked better as Smitty's mom, but instead we get this random agent of Dani's who pops up twice a month? A total waste. I mostly agree. I do feel like Jan could be elevated with a name soap actress, someone like Judi Evans or Kassie DePaiva comes to mind, but they're limited to who is in Atlanta. Keeping that in mind I think the current actress is fine. 
    • It's great to see. My thoughts might be a little different, but for the most part, I am excited and interested in most of the storylines. Yeah, you're right. This is probably how she (Dani) normally acts. And, I do not like it!  I agree; this is another distraction while she heals her wounds. If I weren't an Eva fan, she helped me root for her even more. As I said a month ago, I hope they take their time with her modeling agency. I would love to see her face a few obstacles before becoming a huge success. 
    • I like that there are a lot of local performers on this soap and I'm glad they've resisted so far on hiring too many soap performers.   Cady has been awkward on the show thus far and Jon seems to have polarizing as well. I say focus on the local talent and giving those people a job and exposure.. and leave the P & G soap opera performers in the past.
    • Who do you think would be good for the show among the ATWT/GL cast?
