Well I guess at least with Chanel it was more of a "charming" horny with him trying to woo her and what not, whereas with Gabi it's just, "I'll f-ck you in front of Jake if I have to."

And I don't think they've given a good reason as the why Rafe doesn't dump Ava beyond not wanting to hurt her feelings.

I almost think Gabi/Johnny might be interesting if they had any chemistry.  She does have a kid with his gay brother, but I could almost see where the show maybe could go with Johnny/Gabi as non-devil schemers.  Unfortunately, I feel like we are going to lose a lot of funny, sexy, scheming things Johnny could do once he's not Possessed because he'll be "good" again.

Again, with Rafe/Ava if I thought they were truly in love and had chemistry I might buy Rafe wanting to believe the best in her or something.  But he doesn't even seem to like her.

I actually really like AZ/Nicole in jeans.  It's a good look for her.

I am not complaining either, but I wish there was a reason the Devil completely changed it's course of action.  Even if JoDevil just said he was laying low on the Cin baby for awhile to throw suspicion off the devil.

I am amused at the hypocrisy, lol! Satan breaks things off with Chanel and then Chanel is absolutely devastated and then to show her devastation, Chanel sleeps with Ali. Satan makes a pass at Gabi in which Ali sees which makes Ali inform Chanel of what she saw. Then, both Chanel and Ali are like:  "Johnny is such a jerk!"

I guess lesbian affairs do not equivocate to the laws of heteronormativity I suppose.

I don't think it's exactly hypocritical or devaluing lesbian affairs.  Johnny publicly and cruelly dumped Chanel.  Chanel wasn't looking to end the relationship with Johnny at all.  He told her it was done with basically no hope. I don't really even consider Chanel cheating because her marriage is over in all but name.  Allie is taking cheating on Tripp seriously.

I don't think Johnny kissing Gabi is worse than Allie/Chanel, but Johnny's behavior to Chanel and overall is awful.  Of course, this will all be messy when the devil leaves Johnny, but I don't think the show is saying straight cheating is worse than "gay" cheating.

What's gonna happen, though, when the devil is finally banished, and Johnny's soul is restored to him?  Will he even remember dumping Chanel?  Will Chanel feel compelled to reconcile with Johnny -- and deny her growing feelings for Allie in the process?  And how will Johnny take it when he learns that not only have Chanel and Allie slept together, but that they're STILL sleeping together, behind his back (because, if they aren't, then there's no damn story)?  Will Johnny return to the "dark side" -- this time without the devil's help?

It just might be the only GOOD thing to come out of this horrible mishmash of "Salem's Lot" and "The Exorcist."

    • Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them? 
    • Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.
    • Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!
    • That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.
    • Whoa. She should have fought like hell to get that. Was it the greatest show ever? No, but it had a fantastic cast and was practically guaranteed to last multiple seasons because of its star power. Could have certainly led to bigger and better things. If it had flopped she could have always gone back to soaps. Judith Light broke through on a sitcom where she was basically second banana to Tony Danza. That grew into a very busy and distinguished career. The woman is still regularly booked to this day.
    • I could understand her being frustrated by the fact that she'd been in the business 10+ years at that point, and probably couldn't even get in the door. But then again, she'd already gone out for pilot season once (that we know of) and she and  her agent knew a 35-ish woman had a very difficult time in Hollywood. I know she did a few guest spots, but other than Designing Women, nothing I saw--not even a Murder She Wrote, and that show had tons of ex-soapers on it. I mean, God bless Marilu Henner, but even having been on Taxi, she couldn't get arrested for years either.
    • I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
