I liked original recipe Mariah.. she was snarky and called a spade a spade... but the second she started interacting with Kevin, she gradually morphed into a Cassie clone.  If the show had done anything over the years to show she was trying to become like Cassie as a way to help Sharon... I could possibly buy it, but alas.. the show doesn't seem to know how to write for a character that isn't obsessed over a man nor has baby rabies.

I think that she really likes them plus in today's episode wants to take advantage of having the house to herself. She texted Charlie, probably so he can come up over and they can make out.

 

I think we may be headed for a storyline with her and Charlie where their relationship may end up moving too fast. A few episodes ago Charlie looked uncomfortable after they were making out a lot. He stopped the kissing. I think she's going to push the relationship to move faster than he wants, maybe even try and get him to sleep with her before he's ready.

Also think it's cringe worthy. Hilary can't breathe without her. And I wasn't interested in Devon and Hilary's reunion told through Shauna's POV. I'm assuming the show is attempting to present a strong bond between Devon/Hilary and Shauna without actually giving them the depth. Their interactions are all so surface. Especially Devon's relationship with both females. Hilary and Shauna's relationship with each other is a tad better. But still very shallow. Considering that Devon was Shauna at one point, why isn't he written to discuss that with her or even Hilary? Relate to her situation. Instead we just get both fawning over Hilary while she rages. Tbh, writers aren't even trying.

That is a good point about them possibly not wanting Lily to be a grandmother. That may be our saving grace and will keep us from this type of storyline for Charlie/Shauna. The questions remains what exactly are they going to do with Shauna/Charlie. And how will the news about Mishael factor into that. I'm guessing these scenes were filmed before the news of Mishael, so I wonder what they will end up doing with Charlie/Shauna, Devon and Hilary now.

 

This probably won't happen, but I would much rather see a storyline where maybe Shauna tries to press Charlie into sleeping with her and he actually refuses to do so, because he's not ready yet. I would find that refreshing.

 

That could create some distance between them and maybe have him feel awkward about his decision. She could even end up trying to date somebody else (they can cast a short term character) it doesn't work out and then she ends back up with Charlie and decides to respect his decision for now. Maybe she has a "scare" with the new guy but it ends up being a false alarm. Charlie could find out and offer his support and that could help bring them back together and have her really appreciate him.

    • In some ways, the scene of Greg kissing Paige in front of Laura (or at least when she's at home) is tough to take as it feels like they are building his next romance in front of the woman they are dumping from the canvas, but I do appreciate that Laura was in no way bothered. She knew Paige wasn't a threat, and she also knew that even if Greg did move on, she had come through worse and wasn't going to let herself be in a Richard-like marriage ever again. I'm also glad they didn't ever try to have her choose a wife for him - not a fan of that trope. (although she probably would have chosen anyone, including Leona Helmsley, over Abby)
    • YR did air on the West Coast, only BOLD was a full pre emption They'll probably remove the BOLD episode once they realize lol 
    • Today's episodes of B&B and Y&R are both up at cbs.com. No idea how this is a "full preemption." These morons need to get their ish together.
    • I may have to take a break, Ambyr has me dang near crying every time I watch.

    • I think @DRW50 had it right when he said that the Lechowicks couldn't categorize Laura as easily as they could the other women on the show.  Laura wasn't vixenish like Abby, nor was she was a heroine in the same mold as Val or even Karen.  She was entirely down-to-earth, and more the type who plays things closer to the vest.  Plus, her marriage to Greg was pretty solid (with Laura knowing exactly the kind of man she'd married) to the point where splitting them up and keeping them apart would've taken more effort than perhaps they were willing to expend. I mean, it's easy to generate conflict between Mack and Karen, because Mack and Karen are both very stubborn people who believe they can handle crises on their own; and it's easy to generate conflict for Gary and Val, too, because each is basically an overgrown teenager who'd rather suffer in silence than just express to the other how they feel.  (If only Val had swallowed her pride and just taken Gary back when he begged her to, lol).  But, unless you're Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, you'll be at a loss over what to do with a mature, adult relationship like Greg and Laura's that is built on each being 100% aware of the other's flaws.  Greg sniffing around Paige?  If that had happened while Laura was still aware, she would've just smirked or rolled her eyes and moved on.
    • B&B has uploaded May 8th episode to cbs.com and paramountplus. I wonder if it will remain or be removed?
    • -- Off, indeed. I wrote my rant while watching the show. Then I heard Dante mention manslaughter and Danny in the same sentence. Just over-the-top ridiculousness. -- Is Brad written off for good? If so, what a lousy exit. -- Portia is looking sooooooo dumb these days. Just clueless as to how she's coming across.
    • As usual, Dani makes everything all about herself.   Sweetie.. this isn't about you.   I think deep down, the Dupree would be relieved if Dani wasn't around.
    • I watched it all. I was fine with her on both GH and on PC. But, what you describe for Llanview would've worked really well. I just think the whole concept of moving her from show to show was  in big trouble from the start. And, there were some specific blunders, like MAX, GMAB, she had no idea whether she'd had a boy or a girl and he was at least a decade older than any of the others.  I did very much like the idea that Myrtle was her mom.
