The Gossip today makes me wonder if this is where we have to worry about Leslie...

 

Leslie: So I would much rather hear about the tea from those rich folks behind the gates. So who is going to spill? Hmmm?

Mona: Well, I guess the big news is what happened at the country club restaurant.

Jan: Oh. Fairmont Crest is buzzing. My phone totally blew up.

Mona: Mine, too.

Leslie: Okay, what happened?

Mona: Ooh. Dani almost put Hayley on the floor.

Leslie: What?

Jan: Mm-hmm.

Mona: From what I heard, if it hadn't been for a barstool or a table breaking her fall, Hayley would have seen ass over teakettle.

Leslie: Dani pushed her?

(Jan laughing)

Jan: Punched her in the face.

Leslie: Get out.

Mona: No, it's true. In front of a whole house.

Leslie: Now, that is delicious.

Jan: Mm.

Leslie: And good for Dani. You know, you can't home-wreck a woman and expect her not to react.

Jan: Mm. Vanessa said she wasn't surprised. She went to Dani's this morning for coffee and found Dani throwing mugs against the wall. 

Mona: Girl.

- Ooh

(Laughing)

Leslie: Anything to add?

Jan: Hmm.

Mona: Not really. Everything runs smoothly at Nicole and Ted's. Nothing but love.

Jan: Aw.

Leslie: Must be wonderful being Nicole Dupree Richardson. I wonder what it's like. Hmm. Talk about a woman who has everything. 

Mona: Nicole deserves all the blessings. She's an amazing, inspirational person. It's no wonder Ted adores her. 

Nicole and Vanessa are friends, just like Dani and Vanessa are friends. That said, Nicole and Vanessa haven't kept up with each other much like Dani and Vanessa have. Being the town gossip means you're mostly friends with everyone.

-- The casting is solid. Anyone saying Karla Mosley (Dani) overacts is ignoring the reason she was hired. I'm enjoying her.

-- Like others here, I need Martin to improve...become more natural, relaxed. He's great looking, but I don't feel anything between him and Smitty, and honestly, I was looking forward to them together.

-- Of Dani's daughters, I think the actress playing Chelsea is much more natural than the one playing Naomi, who is a bit stiff. Plenty of time to improve, though.

-- What's with all the flower bushes and full-grown hydrangeas outside of Nicole's window? I don't get that at all. It's Maryland in February, and that makes no sense.

Speaking for myself, I think Karla has been doing great, but I feel she has not found her groove yet. Episode 1 was great. I found yesterday good, but I wasn't feel her like I did in Episode 1. And Episode 3 she...WAS...ON...FIRE. I felt that was the most layered she's been so far for me. So much more going on in her face. In her eyes. Beneath the surface. And some of the inflections she had at times gave it. And her Dani with Bill was a dance of sooo much going on. An unpredictable dance. And then there were the moments where she seem like she was going to snap. She was giving livewire and I was living.

Just finally caught up on yesterday’s and today’s episodes and all I can is wow!

Where to start?

I love the old soapy touches…Vernon giving me Papa Bauer vibes, Mona eavesdropping at the door trying to listen in on Nicole & Hayley, Leslie, Jan, and Mona gossiping etc.

Favorite things in these 2 episodes? I really continue to enjoy the chemistry between all the Dupree’s I like the warm vibes after years of watching cold Newmans and lukewarm Forresters. I really liked the relationship between Chelsea and Naomi. The scenes giving us background on Ted, Nicole, Kat, and Andre were good. And Ashley’s preceptor knowing about her boyfriend Derek from social media reminds me of some co-workers at work spying on new hires LOL. 
 

In a way I do wonder what Hayley’s backstory is but I also hope she doesn’t fall victim to our resident villain Bill. 

I also like the secondary characters so far too. I’m wondering what the history is behind Leslie as well and why she ran poor Laura off the road. Interesting cliffhanger indeed.

Yeah I agree I’m not yet feeling Martin and Smitty yet either. I like Mike Manning too but it feels a bit awkward so far as I think the Martin actor is a bit green. He’s likable though so I’m hoping we start to see more as the show continues into the next few weeks. 
 

And as for Dani….well I’m enjoying this hell on wheels introduction we’ve been watching. I’m interested in seeing her calm down the line but for know I’m enjoying the scorned and spicy diva that she is!

I like that she's so extra bc the character is mentally unstable and watching her with the various characters, it makes sense why she's like this. I think she's doing well bc my opinion of the character has changed so much in just 3 episodes. She's more layered than I initially gave her credit for

I didn't take that scene as her crying. I took it as her heartbreaking and her reaching her breaking point with all the crap she's dealing with. We've all experienced that feeling that most would consider "crying," but it never is that.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By EricMontreal22 · Posted

      Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?

      ALL: General Retro Soap Discussion

      But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.

      You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.

      I imagine the storyline would now segue into Laura's accident. But I hope they manage to keep Leslie around though. I really don't want her to be written out, or get the DOOL treatment where she just pops up every so often to cause some short term trouble; the character and the actor were such a find.

      You're welcome! I can't wait to read what your thoughts are... when and if you get into it, of course. "The Mansion Of The Damned" is amazing. It has everything - thriller, horror, crime, drama, soapy madness. Then as soon as it ends... you get Raven's return... which re-starts the whole show for me. So... I'm really happy for you! You're in for a treat.
