Ugh that's a horrible thought.  I don't think any of them are in danger except possibly Ingo.  Jax is pretty useless and IR's views really seem to make him unpopular.

As far as MB, I don't understand why he would do that.  Even in good fun (which it isn't), after NLG said she was offended, delete the video, apologize to her privately, and move on.  Don't double down on it's a joke crap.  MB has said a lot of questionable things to his female co-stars over the years and they still seem to praise him up and down, which always seemed false.  And yet I don't think he would openly make fun of Laura Wright or Vanessa Marcil like he did Nancy.  It does seem like bullying and I would be upset if I was NLG too.  But I don't think MB will lose his job over it.

The SBu stuff to me is kind of unclear.  He could be doing something awful, but it's hard for me to tell definitively just by one picture at one angle.  I don't doubt he's a Trumper but it's hard to tell what he's doing with his hands.

Yeah I am a bit surprised. I have never doubted he was part of the awful boys' club but he had generally been smarter about not playing with fire when it comes to his public persona.
A consequence of a certain someone's prominence in our country the past few years really seem to be that a lot of people seem to have been liberated to behave in awful manners without any second thoughts.

On the upside, happy that Maura West tweeted in response to support NLG. She could have chosen to stay quiet and let the drama involving others unfold. This makes me happy.

Finally sitting down for this funeral (2/15, 2/16) and it's the only thing I'm not interested in. lol.

 

The beginning of Crazy Eyes Nina has been good for me because it is coming slowly and nicely so far.

 

They should use Kristina more.

 

Laura is love. 

 

For me, it's the subplots cuz it's funny trying to watch a funeral knowing he ain't dead.

Hold up!!! Lesley and Monica in a scene TOGETHER!!! LOL!!!

 

Color me surprised.

 

That said...nice to be done with the funeral episodes and yes, Carly vs Nina and the words were balanced between both of them throwing the others' crimes in the other's face was a thing of beauty. 

 

And whoever wrote Monica's monologue to Olivia about being married into the Quartermaines and becoming one deserves a raise. So much history in their scene and feeling Olivia being one and Monica having her back (And seeing so much of Monica) just warmed my heart.

Yeah, that saddens me. 

 

She was on a role and they have great hate chemistry. 

 

Meanwhile...this VD episode a week late...is hit and mess. 

 

And yeah...I see what you all are saying about Cameron. Cuz I feel like shaking him in this scene with Joss, Trina, and the razor. Just smh.  Is everything with him about his tie to Franco? Cuz I would be more into it if it was about his tie to his MOTHER.

 

I don't like the forcing of Portia and Curtis. Up until this gimmicky date, they had great chemistry, but it was more organic. This feels horribly forced. 

 

Meanwhile, I also don't like this TJ/Molly becoming domestic partners. At some point, it lost its momentum and now it feels too abrupt. 

 

Something I can't say about how the writers are establishing Dante/Sam and Jason/Britt. Though the VD was gimmicky for Jason/Britt. 

 

And yeessssssssssssss for seeing Britt/Brad!!! Felix/NuLucas not so much.

 

And I assume Ryan is the one who sent Ava the roach and letter about secrets.

Well...I like that Orbecht's diva fedora from the 50th anniversary promo made an appearance.

 

And wow...I did not realize that Anna would piece together Peter's connection to Helena before the wedding. And with Valentin's help? Who knew?

 

Mildly excited. Now that I'm a week behind.

Yeeeah, I'm just not liking this Cameron/Franco bond...and this scene where Franco was in trance is the reason why. Does this not just prove Jason's point of Franco still being dangerous? Just smh.

 

About to end the month and it's funny how three stories are in this episode (2/25).

 

I know this is leading up to the double wedding and that is totally the A story.

 

Jason vs Cyrus over Cyrus's mom is the B story (and ties in Portia vs Jordan in a separate, but related tangent)

 

And this Ryan story is just starting really with Ava confronting him over the roach message is a C story. 

 

Add on Franco/Cameron scenes, Liz/Finn scenes discussing the tumor story and Curtis thinking opening a club (another C story since this is the 2nd time it's been mentioned) and this episode is surprisingly busy given a double wedding is coming.

    • Hey boys, I know these aren’t really thirst traps but I think they belong here. Don’t ya agree?

      Please register in order to view this content

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
