Today I actually think The Talk is doing a better job of covering yesterday’s mob assault on the Capitol than The View. They had Margaret Brennan on and immediately jumped into the questions most people were asking, without all the grandstanding of Meghan McCain. Elaine Welteroth brings a lot of the intelligence that the show lost when Sara and Aisha left.

It actually is an interesting panel now. I'll give the show that. It's never interested me but I do like the current panel of hosts. I'm tired of The View honestly. Meghan is draining. It was so nice without her.

 

It does seem a little 'too late' though for The Talk. It doesn't really get any buzz or have any traction it feels like. JMO.

Agree.  Its' initial concept -- "The View" for tired mommies? -- was shaky and had to be abandoned almost quickly.  Then, once they did, I feel like the viewing public had already moved on.

The political stuff really isn’t working on The Talk the more I see it. Elaine was obviously hired to offer some intellectual heft as the former editor of Teen Vogue during its shift to political content, but the other hosts can’t really engage with her or debate on her level, so she almost comes across as overbearing and preachy.

    • Naomi was in Monday's episode, though the client wasn't. Naomi and Jacob were at Uptown with Chelsea, Allison, Derek, and Ashley. And what an amazing episode that was today. Tricia Mann-Grant was absolute perfection as was Ambyr Michelle. I cannot wait to see Dana mix it up with the Duprees, especially Anita. 
    • This is me *pea green with envy* *sigh* The Reva vortex was like an F5 tornado. Widespread mayhem and damage.
    •  Yeah, I guess what easily comes to mind are guests who have taken advantage of a situation to reveal a secret (e.g. the mistress stopping a wedding to say that they're pregnant), or a host who planned an event to reveal things (like John Dixon's plan to humiliate Lisa at their engagement party on ATWT). But, that's a whole other level, where you can manipulate someone to throw a party in order to ruin it.
    • Not the community penis. Providing his service pro bono...I can't with his thirsty a**. Any chance that the OG Ted can come back as his brother back from the dead who died in the plane crash. It would give Andre family, too. 
    • Now that Leslie has had her fun what is she hoping for now? If I were Ted I'd be on the prowl for a hitman. Take her OUT! The new Ted, known for playing vile characters, just might do that.
    • To be clear, I know there have been a gazillion reveals at events on soaps. But these are usually events that would happen anyhow, like a city commemoration or a long-planned wedding. My *specific* question:  Has a character ever orchestrated an event to occur, for a seemingly benevolent reason, but actually for the sole purpose of spilling a reveal at the party, to the surprise of the event planners/hosts. Specifically: an event that the event hosts wouldn't have thought of making happen, and the hosts planned this event -- only due to the seemingly-innocent urging of the outside instigator who is secretly planning the reveal. This is NOT about an event that would have happened anyways. My reason for asking:  April/May 2025, on BeyondTheGates, a couple was NOT planning a wedding anniversary party.  But there was a plot by an instigator to convince the couple to have the party, and the motivation for this was so that the instigator could do a big reveal. The party wouldn't have happened if the instigator hadn't suggested it. I'm wondering if this has ever happened before on a soap, that a big event came into existence due to the plotting of the revealers.

    • That photo is Andre is being respectfully kind to his cousin Eva, after the reveal.
    • It's okay. Will be just as good whenever you pull yourself up to some screen! It's not like they're  going to spoil or get cold & have to be zapped or that the ice is all going to melt. LOL!! Okay, I'm just making it worse ... so sorry.  I'll just tiptoe out .... 
    • Cleverness in writing would have to be involved. I don't think it exists with these showrunners.   Community penis will be nice to ANY woman.
