Me too. About time I can look at a soap and go just WOW!

That chief of police makes me go further than Wow.

-- Very good show today. Movement in story all over the place.

-- Brandon Claybon is improving as Martin. His scenes with Mike Manning today were his most natural. MM continues to do well.

-- I still think this run for the presidency is ridiculous, and it take me out of the story. Make it AG, or governor, or senator. But president? Sorry, that's a joke.

-- The legal meeting Naomi held should not have been at Orphey Gene's, but since it was, shouldn't the women have at least ordered coffee instead of taking a table for an hour and then walking out?

-- Alex Alegria continues to be sooooo bad as Tomas. I have yet to see a natural line reading.

-- The part of Mike Davis the harassment pig was miscast. They needed some middle age fratboy who we can see Bill hiring. No one would put up with this clown.

-- Good scenes today with Chelsea, Dani, Anita and Vernon, and other regular cast characters.

Speak on it!!

Dani asking for vodka in her orange juice was very much alcoholic behavior. Chelsea quitting modeling is going to send her further over the edge.

Naomi doesn't much care about what happens with her relationship with her father at this point and that is going to make this story even more exciting because there are no guard rails.

Excellent episode by Ron Carlivati! There have been some very bad episodes of BTG. Today was not one of them.

LOL...I just saw Martin referred to as Martin Loser King 

[BoldRestless]

Today was really strong, especially for an episode without my favorites (Silk Press, Eva, and Nicole).

My heart broke for Bill at the end. He really thought she was reacting to his text, and she played that beat well. I'm glad they have kept him grey and given him humanity because it would have been so easy to turn him into a cartoon.

There's a lot to mine because she obviously was inspired by him to go into her career, yet now Bill mentioned to Tomas that their falling out was BEFORE Hailey... I'm intrigued!

I noticed Naomi told her clients she would name Bill "co-plaintiff." She obviously meant defendant. This is like when they said Martin was Senator Richardson, not Congressman. If you're going to set the show in DC and do these ripped from the headline stories, you can't make very basic mistakes like that. Can't believe no one caught it.

I was glad to see in the last couple of episodes that Anita is longing for more because Vernon and Anita are starting to give Nikki and Victor, just holding court at the club or the living room all the time, never doing anything. Anita needs to be involved in some action. That said, those icy stares they gave Martin were fierce and Martin's acting has improved tremendously. I also liked that simplicity of the scene at the end where she said that went well and they sipped their coffee in unison. You can feel that they've been married for decades.

I loved that! another wordless Dupree moment that said so much.

The best was when Anita made all the men at Bill's wedding sit down with one look.

Tamara and Clifton breathe so much life into the Anita and Vernon scenes, you would actually think they’ve been married all these years.

I know I sound like a broken record, but, I truly love this show. Everyday  is a journey of discovering something new about each character.

I think Tamara Tunie and Clifton Davis are simply excellent. They were perfectly cast in their respective roles.

Brandon Claybon did his best work in today's episode. He seemed less robotic and more natural. I can't wait to find out his secret and why Smitty married him to begin with.

And our girl, Dani. She is totally going to have a huge meltdown and I can't wait to see it.

The Bill & Naomi showdown is going to be awesome. Tomorrow can't come soon enough.

Felt like we had Friday cliffhangers on a Tuesday.

I said the exact same thing today - he's a clown/cartoon character - of course he's going to jail, he's a caricature.
