Tommorows Canadian 

Spoiler

Nate reveals he's using Victoria, got close with her professionaly and personally so he can rise through the ranks and run Newman. She wants his job at Newman media so they're teaming up.

 

Had the flirtation with Imani revealed that side of Nate's persona, it would have been a build up to his liason with Victoria.

But instead it was the same scene over and over. Nate looked flattered/embarassed and that was that.

Unpopular opinion: Chelsea and Sally are the same the character

I agree. Sally made Chelsea redundant.

I really don't want to criticize Josh Griffith, or tell him (or any HW) how to do his job anymore, because I've realized how difficult it is for these people to satisfy the "suits" and still keep the audiences tuning in.  HOWEVER, if this is Griffith's way of fixing a storyline that isn't working AS it's still airing, as I suspect it is, then he's chosen a rather inelegant way of doing it.

I don't know. I felt Imani did a good Lady MacBeth there for a while to Nate's Macbeth. And then with the messiness going on between Devon and him that was just scratching the surface of what their issues were (and it wasn't just Elena so much as Nate hating his hands being damaged), it was the perfect storm then.  But I agree they could have had that be a nice build to where we are at now.

I wonder if Mishael leaving (not blaming her) was the end of that. Seemed they gave Imanis story to Victoria and Audra.

 

But, I agree with you she was encouraging Nate to be ruthless for a bit.

To add to that 

Chloe, Chelsea, and Sally are basically the same character,

And they shouldn’t be, of course, but the writing for them has been so generic and muddled over the years. Audra is the schemer that one of them should be. None of them should be your run-of-the-mill heroines.

If they keep them, just considering the actresses’ strengths, Chloe is more suited to being an established corporate pillar; Chelsea should just be a plain old psycho but not a wishy-washy one with depression; and Sally more of a rough-and-tumble, ambitious social climber/street fighter from humble means. They are all so milquetoast and forgettable as currently written.

I definitely felt that MM leaving impacted that story. And she was definitely gone when she got the one sentence exit. 

 

So much potential. She even had Jill's admiration if I remember correctly.

THIS. I've come around to this version of Sally, but I would love her back like her original B&B version. And MCE always plays psycho so well.

 

And they can throw Audra back into Noah/Allie or Kyle/Summer or both like the young vixen she is while giving those couples (especially Noah/Allie) something to do. 

Regarding sets, I'm liking the show seems to be alternating between Society, GCAC, and Jazz Club.

Spoiler for Sharon's story

Spoiler

She got a expensive bottle of champagne and a note "memories are what life is made of." Than as she was wondering who it's from it showed someone from a first person view watching her and this creepy music played, maybe a classic cue? Not quite sure.

 

This may be a deep cut, but I wish they'd go back to Sharon's days as a kleptomaniac.

God, no. lol. Though it did have its moments...like that episode that ended with her writing a letter (with musical score) where you started to wonder...was Sharon about to kill herself?
