I think they may look at which characters are really drawing interest and might adjust the writing to that. Rondell really is one of my favorites. She's cute, funny and it looks like she has two potential love interests. I do think that her and Kent may get together, but I could see Greg Peters falling for her down the line. I was glad he didn't orchestrate the attack on her. I could see a situation where she saves Greg in some way down the line and he falls for her.

 

I thought that Robin Givens was a bit more toned down in this episode, which I think was a good thing. Maybe we will see more layers to her as she interacts with TItus more and maybe if/when her other sister may show up. I did like her scenes with her mother last night. I could also see a situation where she ends up falling for someone else down the line, maybe someone else kind of messy.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Robin Givens was a pretty serviceable actress, when the scripts and direction were right for her.  Just a guess, but I think what people are complaining about may be the end result of years upon years of doing not so good movie roles.

 

 

 

What I really want someone to ask Givens about is that Drake tattoo.

Ambitions ratings have fallen apart without the Have and Have Nots lead in. Ambitions was either 11th or 12th in its timeslot among people 18-49. Pose is clobbering Ambitions in the younger demos, which advertisers love. Ambitions skews very old, which advertisers don’t like.

I wish ratings would pick up for this show. I am continuing to enjoy it and I would like to see it do well.  As a whole I do like a lot of the characters, exceptions being the love interest for Evan/Stefanie's daughter, Bella, and I'm also not crazy about Evan.

 

But I am loving Titus and the actor who plays him. (And I really like his speaking voice.) I also really like Rondell. And I think that Robin Givens has toned it down at least a little. I think that show overall is decent and the plots aren't really OTT like the plots on some night time soaps are.

    • Someone has been posted episodes from 1994 and Jill Powell (Marcy Lafferty) has a hot storyline right now. Just googled her and in real-life she is now openly out as a Lesbian with a transgender son. 
    • Did anyone else notice that DAYS has not been in the Top 10 most streamed shows on Peacock this week??? I find that very strange considering how good the show has been, especially this week.
    • Cast changes in 2025 (so far, not much has happened): GZSZ Pauline Afaja (Flo Kästner) departed on March 10th, 2025. She had only been on the show for about a year. Flo as a character never really clicked with the audience. Her final storyline involved her catching feelings for the much older Nina Reichelt Klee Ahrens Navarro out of the blue – while she was in a relationship with the wheelchair-bound Jonas Seefeld. Onno Buß joined the cast as Julian Kaltenbach on January 31st, 2025. Julian is Matilda's twin brother ... and another illegitimate child of Jo Gerner. Charlott Reschke, who had played Johanna Flemming on a recurring basis from 2015 to 2024, returned at the end of May. The 20-year old actress has now been placed on contract. Last week on GZSZ:

    • GH on Hulu, their Top 15 list, now for the second consecutive day ... #1.
    • From PKWaddle, ex-soap journo & fan & one known only to give good intel, in a post on my FB soap group: #1 Peacock shows 10 of the past 12 weeks DAYS in their TOP 3. #2 DAYS is now more ahead, currently at 10 months & 1 week.

    • Not to ramble too far off topic but it happens a lot with comics too, especially only wanting to keep cheap talent around and pushing out creative voices. There are some patches where creatives can go to start their own worlds...wish that was true with soaps, but who knows, maybe it can happen someday. I never thought we'd get a new soap this year.
    • Very true & also at least in the case of stand-out HWs, it is fraught with exhaustion & burnout.
    • Plus we are never going to have a Shonda Rhimes, a Dick Wolf, or a Chuck Lorre of daytime -- a single brilliant person who could come in and change the genre -- because Shonda, Dick, or Chuck would only be able to work on one soap opera at a time, not three or four at the same time as they do in primetime.  As long as TPTB insist on the 60-minute format, we will never have another super influential individual like Phillips, Nixon, or Bell.  They simply would never have time to do more than one soap opera at a time and that would stifle their influence overall. Thanks. So maybe this is happening to some degree in other entertainment genres.  I don't keep up with the particular franchises you mentioned, so I was unaware.  I appreciate your perspective.
