Also the major pimping of Ravi is inexplicable. Are we really to believe that this CEO who has lusted for Ashley and asked her to dinner would be so consistently rude to her? Not a chance.

 

Forcing RAsh is futile. Get me CAsh instead. DG/ED really worked well together before the trade to DAYS killed it. Plus it raises all sorts of drama with B&S! AND the Abbott/Barber ties. 

 

Other than Tessa, who intriguing, and Reed, who has a boatload of ties and is defined with his music, the other newbies are extremely bland and too many of them: Juliet, Scott, Ravi, Jordan, The Mean Girls. That's 8(!) in less than 4 months. Surely seeing Chilly and the Bella reveal, which writes itself, would have been worth far more than these screenwasters.

OK. So the latest 'real Newmans turn on Victor' is merely a short-arc to send EB on his break - presumably to promote his book. Forgive and forget when he returns - like the wretched Jolin reunion. BTW - What a bizarre interview on CBS This Morning. EB handled it well, but the questions were not at all what I would've expected and far too short.

I've mentioned it before but it's also so weird how over the years his accent has gotten heavier and heavier.  From that clip they showed - from the early 80's, he had an accent but it's nothing like it is now.  I thought he was doing it as part of the character, but his accent during the interview was far heavier - so it's it's not part of the character....it's just gotten much heavier over the years.

The show needs a continuity editor: Ashley telling Tracishe regretted blowing off Ravi, but he had fun with his college friends. Um, didn't Ashley join them for a drink after she walked out on the 'phone guy'? Just weird. And why make Ashley a hypocrite by doing the EXACT SAME thing to Traci! 

 

Nikki/Tessa scenes were surprisingly good - those actually felt honest. And yeah to Philly!

 

Boo to writers for making Victoria so hostile to her sister. However, when Victor does something to Abby, it will be Victoria's heart that is broken for Victor's machinations towards another sibling she hates. Gosh, it would work so much better if Victoria's revenge on Victor was HELPING Abby to gain control of NE. For a character Sally clearly wants to showcase, she has done nothing but make Victoria even more unlikable, if that's possible - the bad attitude towards Reed, Billy and Abby - terrible and all could've been written in a positive way and still reach the same result.

Yeah, except they could've put together an Abbott breakfast. We haven't seen that since Sally's first day - so much for that promising start. It's always great to see BM, but using her to push RAsh was far beneath her and the character's value to the show.

      I do think Vanessa was lesser than Reva and Alexandra in those runs, but I think Long also gave Vanessa a centerpiece on the show she never would have had otherwise, and she did bring the character back (I know Maeve had only wanted a break but if Long had not wanted her to return, she wouldn't have returned).

      7th Heaven reboot in the works

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      Well, Catherine Hicks did say once that the only way she'd agree to a reboot is if started with Eric's funeral. I used to love this show when I was little but I watch it now and all I do is roll my eyes. The writing was so heavy handed and honestly, the Camdens were a bunch of pretentious, judgmental snobs

      https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/19/benjamin-netanyahu-israel-take-control-gaza-uk-france-canada-threaten-action    Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will “take control” of all Gaza, as three key allies attacked his “egregious” escalation of the military campaign and blockade on humanitarian aid. Britain, France and Canada attacked Israel’s expansion of its war as disproportionate, described conditions in Gaza as “intolerable” and threatened a “concrete” response if Israel’s campaign continues. finance minister Bezalel Smotrich said Israel’s army would “wipe out” what remains of Palestinian Gaza.  “Now we conquer, cleanse and stay" ---------------------------- My thoughts: This is genocide, ethnic cleansing.  It's just evil and there's no excuse for it.  I'm glad Canada, France, and UK are making a statement, and I hope they back it up. There are some Israeli citizens who don't support what Netanyahu is doing, and I hope they are able to enact some positive change from within.

      -- I'm not unhappy that Nina and Carly had a bad fight including slapping and tackling and falling down. But geez, all that insane SCREAMING was over the top. It was three minutes of shrieking, and I thought it was all too much. -- And ANOTHER day of Dante ripping Gio and Gio again discussing his sins and failures. Make it end already. -- In the previews, Gio is walking the Nurses Ball red carpet with Joss. Uh...why??? I don't know why Joss is there at all. Doesn't she have some secret agent stuff to do? -- Chase is at the end of the previews, yelling into the phone "You want me to do WHAT???"  My guess is that's another fakeout that there's something important going on, and that Chase got a call to perform at the Nurses Ball. This show....

      Watching...   For the most part, today's show is boring and trending on fast-forwarding scenes.

      I figured that they would take Kat in this direction with men for the time being. I like those small bits of history from Tomas, but I still have not warmed up to him yet. A Pamela/Vanessa feud could be worth the watch.

      Part of me wishes Sarah Whiting had been exposed as a fraud, someone who claims to be Len and Patti's foster child, but whom Patti exposes right off the bat when she arrives in Henderson.

      I agree, and I think both could be true: Jane Wyman needed to reduce her work schedule due to health concerns, and CBS/Lorimar took advantage of that in order to cut costs, too.
