What sense does it make to want to be able to make the right decisions for someone who may not be able to do for themselves but not see who might have POA of said person?  That's just ridiculous!

This whole Dina story is a mess honestly.

[Faulkner]

Weird that Victoria told Devon that JT's "wife" served him with divorce. Uh, Mac is Devon's first cousin.

 

Beall is such an auteur. You can recognize one of her scripts right away.

Damn such revisionist stuff coming out of Phyllis' mouth. Sharon was never jealous of her and Nick. It's actually the other way around. Also Nick was NEVER there for Sharon when Cassie died, he was busy screwing Phyllis. Who wrote today's episode?

[Faulkner]

I didn't see it as a writer's oversight. I saw it as Phyllis playing the victim and misrepresenting things, which is in character for her.

I caught last 30 minutes today. Could someone tell me who MM was playing? Is it Hilary 'new age' sista? I wasn't feeling it and I don't think MM did either. 

 

The Sharon party had brief moments that worked. It felt like someone had interesting concept, but it missed with disjointed writing. That said, I like the way they are writing Sharon, so it's easy to give them a pass. 

 

I liked JT's scenes with Cane, Reed and Victoria.

 

Abby/Lily friendship was long overdue - I used to complain that Lily only confided in other family member like her Dad, which was ew.

Yeah, I'm not buying Hilary as nuOprah. It doesn't feel like an authentic transition.

 

This is the umpteenth time they've ended the show with a Cane/Lily cliffhanger. Do they really think we're that invested in this story?

Mishael seemed to be having a blast to me. All the actresses did except MCE, possibly. She was supposed to be drunk but didn't play it until she had a line or two. Lol

 

 

 

Devon having something to do.

I tuned in for 10 minutes.  I liked it.  Shocking for me.  The girls party at Sharon's house was kind of on-time right now.  Shocking, but I liked what I saw.  I don't like Hillary being the ringleader of a girl's movement but you can't have everything.  I was surprised, and thought what I saw was better than anything else I've seen on a Daytime Soap in the past year or so.  Maybe a couple of years.  And I can't believe I said that.   

[Faulkner]

To me it felt like mid-2000s AMC, which isn't shocking since Amanda Beall wrote it. It's great when several characters with history are in one room together, which doesn't happen that often these days.

“You brought Phyllis...to my home.” I died laughing. Sharon’s party was great. 

[Soapsuds]

The all girl party was a good idea but still fell flat for me. It had more to do with MM acting. I can never ever take her character seriously.

They forgot to invite Lauren though...

Lol I totally didn’t even realize they forgot Lauren. That’s how inconsequential they make her on this show.

 

I will say today was the most like Michelle Stafford’s Phyllis, that GT has been written. The victim hood when she’s the one that broke up Sharon’s marriage. Classic Phyllis.

[Soapsuds]

If they really wanted for the all women's party to work they should've had everyone there....like Jill, Victoria, Lily.....both of Billy's gf's there with Jill fighting/arguing...etc...etc.....

 

But having Tessa there...ugh...hate her!  When is she leaving??
