Well, the day we knew would arrive is finally here and let me start by once again, saying, poor Javi. 

Why would anyone bring in a young, handsome new character with tons of potential just to pair him with the worst character on the show? The worst character that, after six years, is literally the albatross to end all albatrosses and who pretty much only has like three fans. This is why people get fired lol

And I definitely wasn’t here for Leo crying about all his failed relationships to Alex. 

Btw, people still share drinks in this post-pandemic world? 

I’m actually am liking Chanel/Johnny/Joy now, even though I still think that the way they’re writing Joy and Nancy’s relationship is ridiculous. I really don’t like the overbearing mother/eye rolling, dismissive child trope. Especially in this case because it sometimes makes this storyline feel forced again and it didn’t need to be and still doesn’t. But I’m still glad that they’re continuing to write a mystery as to whether Johnny and Joy had sex. That could lead to something good happening.

It seems like people are liking Javi, but I find him absolutely obnoxious.   I am trying to give the character a chance- I just really haven't found him endearing or funny.  He seems like an entitled brat.  Something about the way he's jealous of Rafe, tried to keep the ring, but is perfectly fine staying at Rafe's house for free without asking Rafe is off putting.  That being said I don't wish Leo on anyone lol.  

I guess it's too early to make a judgement on Javi and it's nice for Gabi to have someone to talk to.  I just am not a fan so far.

Agreed the Nancy/Joy stuff feels odd.  Every return it's like Nancy's regressed more to who she was years ago when she came to town.  Like I said earlier, I don't think Nancy's ever had the strongest character point of view, but this seems especially cliche and lacking depth.

The same things bothered me about Javi, also. Plus. I am one who is not yet 100% sold on NuGabi. I especially did not like her trying to blame EJ for Stefan moving on & out. Also, and this is gonna get boring, I'm afraid. But, Aaron, yesterday, was driving me crazy. Their family structure  makes  no sense. He didn't know their mother is alive. Then, he didn't even know that F'Abby (Cat) is his sister. What in hell is wrong with their family? And, furthermore, did Joy & Johnny have sex? Inquring minds want to know. And, as usual, don't even let me get started on Leo.

If I understood yesterday correctly, Aaron thought both his parents died in the car accident.  He knew Cat, his sister, was alive but she was in a clinic recovering from major injuries.  So the assumption is Cat recovered with multiple surgeries and just didn't reveal herself to Aaron/Felicity and they wouldn't recognize her because she looked different.  At some point Clyde told Mark/Cat that their mother was still alive and that's how they started the Chad plan.  Neither Aaron nor Felicity knew their mother was alive.

We don't know if Joy/Johnny had sex.  The show is keeping it vague.

It was a little confusing.  The show explained it, but there were a lot of gaps and holes in the way they laid the Greene family dynamic out.  I am not sure if it's rewrites, bad writing, backstages issue or all of the above.  I feel like the way the show introduced the Greenes is very different from what actually ended up being their backstory.

Just quoted everything

Tuesday's episode was good!

JPL acting is still horrible.

Javi is so cute but he reminds a lot of Leo.

And yes Javi has some nice dance moves.

I enjoyed the Hernandez scenes as well.

    • 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.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.  
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 Loved her. I've never seen her Doctors work. 
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 I just loved Valerie on my early '90s TV shows. This one gets me. 
    • I assume they did at some point during the finale...
    • Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.
    • I think one of the reasons that pilot didn't get picked up was because Vicki L was associated more with being Thelma Harper and playing older then she was playing her own age.  It was a blessing it didn't get picked up, or we would have been deprived of the syndicated era of Mama's Family.   Also, worth noting a Pre Night Court Marsha Warfield and pre Perfect Strangers Rebecca Arthur in the cast.  All talented women, but stuck with a bad script. And the other pilot had a pre Fran Fine.. Fran Drescher as the best friend.  I think that pilot might have been picked up if Karen Valentine and Fran Drescher switched roles.
    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex?
