I know, I know, lol.  I should just be like Ron Carlivati and write silly stuff about gay men hitting on cute, straight guys while engaging in KNOTS LANDING cosplay.

That's what happens when you have HW's and EP's who can't think past the noses on their faces.

I’m getting caught up, I’m about 5 episodes behind.

I will never enjoy when they have Phyllis of all characters act morally superior to others. I never saw Susan or Alex’s Diane storylines, but I did see Maura’s poor run. Why are they acting like Diane is a crazed serial killer or something? When Maura played her I just remember all of the other characters treating her like trash and Maura being way too young.

Despite having no history with Susan’s Diane I’m greatly enjoying having her around. The flashbacks are wonderful and it’s nice to see an age appropriate actress back in the role. The Abbott Storyline is so much better than the Newman’s.

I really don’t like that they retconned Ashland into faking this whole time. We’ve literally seen Ashland in scenes with no one around, struggling to breathe and other things. Now to tell us what less than a year later that none of that happened is stupid.

Maybe it was out of vengeance for Victor making him sign documents while in the middle of a heart attack last year? That would make sense although the show hasn’t explained why.

Again today the Abbott story is far far superior that anything Newman related. Walters is doing wonderful and for a change both PB and MS actually finally acting once again instead of sleepwalking through the dreck. Although I agree Phyllis trying to be the voice of reason is ridiculous.

My main problem with this whole thing.

Although I will say that I just rewatched last night an old confrontation between Phyllis and Diane and already back then Phyllis had the gall to say "Nothing I ever did ever went as far as you did, Diane". 
Coming from someone who tried to kill two people that was already a wild exageration back then.

But yeah they are setting up to write Diane like Sheila along the way and I don't like it. But I'll enjoy the ride. Diane being treated like a pariah by everyone is in character.

At least it’ll take the heat off of Sally. I do wonder how Diane will interact with new characters. They’ve already put Allie in her corner. A team-up with Ashland would seem like a no-brainer eventually, but this show loves to leave obvious dramatic possibilities on the table.

This. Diane marrying Ashland after being kicked to the curb by the Newmans could b a great kick in the ass for the show.  I could see the two scheming and Diane using Ashland to get to see Harrison. Diane sets her sights on his money for power to place herself in a position to face off with her enemies... Nikki, Victor, the Abbotts, Phyllis.  There's at least three years of potential story, :-). Of course, it wouldn't occur to Josh Griffith.

    • The way this show handled Nikolas' shooting Hayden, Austin's murder, the long slow delay to getting rid of Cyrus, etc. we're likely to have it revealed in a year when Nina is 3 weeks away from leaving and has had minimal airtime.
    • Interesting. I love my Roku.  No, I don't know. Who? I mean Disney def does. I would think a number of parties have stocks.
    • Is he still spamming demands that they hire the campy chick from The Haves and Have Nots? Or whichever show it was. I don't think it's an either/or. I happen to think Dana, Dani, Eva, Nicole, Kat, etc. are all great. Certain folks aren't going to be some posters' favorites and that's fair enough. But I would argue most of those characters above (and several others) have caught on with a lot of the online audience. I've even warmed up to Martin!
    • We get it, you don't like this show or the actors. You've said that over and over again, Mr. Vanguard America/VDARE.
    • Lol at the WSB hot guy asking Joss if she was okay with betraying her friends.  Of course she is! Chase coming in hot at Dante was a choice. It's also quite hypocritical since Chase is lying to him about Dante's own child and making Lulu the bad guy.  Talk to the grown woman yourself Chase.  Don't make Dante do it. Lulu and Laura had some great scenes. The Rocco/Danny party is obvious an anvil for something happening and probably the Gio secret coming out. The Willow/Drew/Nina scenes were kind of anti-climatic?  I get why Nina chose this path as the way to get rid of Drew, but will anyone ever find out Drew was sleeping with Nina?  
    • I was reading the NYT article on Roku's purchase of FrndlyTV. As anyone who has read my posting knows, I think re-airing old soaps is an imprudent idea. However, I will admit that if large media companies are looking for more streaming content.  And, if advances in AI continue to make the digitization process faster and cheaper.  Those of you who want the owners of the IP to release anything in their vaults may have reason to be hopeful.  Because the makers of TV's want to get into streaming in order to encourage young people to get back in the habit of updating their TV devices every few years.  And, Roku's plan is market exclusive content, that you have to buy a Roku device to view.  And you-know-who has a ton of content to sell.
    • This was  the messiest hour of television I’ve seen since Kenya Moore asked “who is this hoe?”
    • details of the current Health Secretary RFK Jr's insane beliefs - Doesn't believe that germs cause illness; suggests HIV doesn't cause AIDS; suggests antidepressants are behind mass shootings; believes that vaccines are harmful; suggests chemicals in water are changing children's gender identities... and is quick to promote supplements to prevent and treat diseases, such as recently recommending vitamin A for measles and falsely claiming children who die from the viral infection are malnourished. https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/04/rfk-jr-s-anti-vaccine-stance-is-rooted-in-a-disbelief-in-germ-theory/

      I missed the reference at the time, but those DAYS writers really like jokey character names.
