I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one who felt Ashley was justified. Kyle comes off as entitled and dickish and Jack comes off as a delusional and narcissistic. I guess Kyle has RHOBH amnesia. Apple meet tree!

 

SN: they're giving Michael Mealor a lot of ass shots, maybe they're just looking for something that isn't there!

Wow didn't see that Ashley twist coming, but I enjoyed Ashley sticking it to Jack. Screw Jack and Kyle. Eileen Davidson was wonderful.

 

Jack reminded me of Kavanaugh with all that scenery chewing woe-its-me rage.

 

Who else thinks Tessa is behind the letters?

A shame. Stacy Haiduk isn’t working at all as Kristen for me. 

 

The Abbott fallout has been better than the Shick wedding, I suppose. Mostly because the actors involved have felt more committed to the story over time. I actually think Mealor/Kyle has done a really good job.

I decided to stream Friday (US). I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. And, yes, ED killed it. And knowing everything Ashley has been through with Jack (remember he blackmailed her out of the CEO chair after he discovered her paternity decades ago, the blood clause, etc), it's not inconceivable, she'd do this so he could understand how she felt. 

 

I actually like the actress who plays Lola - she's much better than the untrained SSM newbies. Looking forward to Monday (US).

Is this how ED will leave?  She'll tell them all to bite her because everyone will side with Jack and she'll just roll out?  I can't imagine the show without her...I don't watch regularly but did catch it at night after I saw the positive posts.  I have to give the writers props for this one, I didn't see it coming.

I didn't like Kyle's "What About Meeee! Whining today.  I understand why he feels the way he feels but Ashley had nothing to do with that and neither did making Jack think John wasn't his father. All those issues lie with Jack. He can go give Jack the same type of tongue lashing he gave Nikki(years too late imo) over killing his mom.

Doesn't look flat as a board to me. Tomato, tomate.

 

That said...

 

From what little I've seen of how...I like Lola. 

 

I apparently have Pop on my TV and with my internet now spotty, I've been tuning in for Eileen's exit. So...wow...that rumor WAS true. Just...WOW.

 

Team Ashley though. lol.

    • 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.
