3-3 Remember when I said I was circle back around to all the hot men and bubbles on display on Tuesday. lol. Yeah, I started my rewatch yesterday. Not that most weeks aren't great. But I must admit the week before barely got a rewatch out of me. I'm just over Cartoon Leslie who took up most of that week. This past week really went off on a good start for me. It looks like they are trying to develop their B plots more. Some work better than others. And I really feel (we'll see if I feel the same this week) that the writers are going to do what they did last year where now until May was in hindsight...and I enjoyed it mind you...it was a lot of table setting for the anniversary party episodes. Mileage varied on that. On one hand, several stories got developed during that time period. And it helped there were enough events going on and story progression that it was fine. Or they focused on their solid B plot (which last year it was Doug/Joey/Vanessa with a side of Martin's Secret with also June's storyline). On the other hand, they really IMHO had only one solid B plot that could carry and IMHO did...namely Doug/Joey/Vanessa. They were smart to have other stories around that since they were holding off on their better stories. And this year seems like that is going to be the same. So hopefully it will be better written if they are going to use that strategy again this year. Right now, the most developed of the B plots is the cotillion and we all know the tea on that. Hayley and the walls closing in is also currently in the place of where Doug/Joey/Vanessa was at...in that it started kinda disjointed, but it actually appears to be building to Tomas's exit storyline something. And it can DEFINITELY hold a week together. That said...what I love so far this particular week... MONICA. I loved how they did her. Not only is she a mentor to Smitty and has interacted with Naomi to keep her secret afloat, but she's Shanice's aunt, too, and she was giving sooooo much Mama Joyce to Ted that I did holler. Which Todd...Ted...you get it...if you know, you know. I can't believe to talk about how much I love that Shanice has family around. AND hints of other family members, too. That said...More of her please. CARLTON VS KIAL. We all know I'm here for Nicole having a storyline. But you also know I enjoyed her men getting into it. Openly at that. Cuz Chase vs Michael on GH can't have all the fun. lol. Both foine. Both bubbled. And I loved their verbal catfight on the unseen (ugh) basketball court. And like we discussed earlier...Kial clocking Carlton's personality (and Carlton clocking Kial) along with the episode with Carlton going off on Shanice is foreshadowing. I would like to add him just explaining how he's been waiting forever for Nicole. Uh oh. NOW...KRISTEN DIMERA. Speaking of Hayley, I continue to love how people are slowing putting the screws to her. First it was Lynette the week before and now it's Joey with what he knows about Sammy. Just like a good soap villainess. And Tomas has already been sniffing around for weeks. And Bill is slowly getting a clue, too? What will she do next really has me intrigued. Who is going to figure her out first? That's what I've coming away with so far from last week.
