Brandon C's acting as Martin has greatly improved.  Astonishing.  Now at the point where some of the annoying traits are clearly intentionally traits of the character, and not tics of the actor, so that's good.

  • Not the catch-up notice scroll at the beginning of the episode. Hope this does not mean we're going to be interrupted?
  • That couch is cursed for the deadbeat; who'd be run over and/or hit with an emergency brake?
  • Laura! Have not seen her since the premier week. Thought she'd never be seen again.
  • Dana, now is not the time for the dramatics, and there is no way you'd give a Viola Davis-worthy level performance. Never.
  • August 28?! We're planning well ahead, aren't we?! Lucy on GH is working one month before the Nurse's Ball, and it shows.
  • Bradley deserves a hell of a lot better than Martin, and Martin (a.k.a. deadbeat) deserves nothing but misery.
  • Samantha and Tyrell with their great-grandparents?! Oh, I love this.
  • Mona... woo-hoo! I've missed this fashionable diva!
  • Oh, Tyrell is smart in the mouth, but smart in the right kind of way. Part of me feels like a naked photo of Tyrell is what's been spread around school. The scandal of it all.
  • These scenes with Dana and Ted... not going to lie, I can kind of tell why they're swapping out Maurice Johnson with Keith D. Robinson right now. It's glaring in these scenes why it's happening.
  • Eva, I don't think you were meant to see that. Retreat. Retreat immediately and don't turn back. Save yourself!
  • Hey deadbeat, I'm sick of you! So sick of you and your arrogance.
  • The anvils keep dropping, re: Nicole and Ted's marriage.
  • Oh, Viagra discussion?! This kind of tea is brilliant.
  • Anita is very forthright; she sees what is coming.
  • Another Febreze ad? At least this one was quick.
  • Vernon has such a poignant way with words. You can tell he was a politician who was effective in his day with this montage. I love this. So, so much.
  • Dana in her nurse wig. NURSE is right. #IYKYK

Come on papa Dupree for the narration. This was beautifully done.

I hate the turn with Ted’s character. 

Why Laura?

Loved the episode.  All the references to books, poetry, the speeches.  I know that poem so well, I said it aloud with Anita
https://poets.org/poem/dreams

Vernon starting to write his speech, talking about bullying, it could reference (without his knowledge) Tyrell's struggle, of course.  But it also spoke to me about the current US governmental bullying.

Vernon's speech as the voiceover for the montage at the end was just awesome. How it was done, and what he said.  Yes we do need love.
What he said applies on multiple levels, in Fairmont Crest, in viewer's real lives, and on the national/international level.

    • They are mentioning Aristotle Dumas in nearly every scene now.  Good Lord.  The poor actors must roll their eyes every time they get a new script.  
    • BC played Jeffrey O'Neill, her last husband- the ninth.   Yes, April Fools Day 2009 is a date that will live in infamy for GL fans but I feel we all kinda expected it at that point.  The soap press reported that GA's return as Phillip was basically the show's final chance at getting the ratings up.  A Hail Mary if you will.  It didn't extend the show's life but it was fantastic to see Phillip back in SF where he belonged.
    • I think Alexa Havins has been polarizing. A large segment of fans love her and what she's done with the role, while others say she's a good actor but they hate the way Lulu is written -- as someone who interferes and is a harpy. I personally think she's been a terrific recast.
    • The perfect camp. And maybe it's regional? I don't recall seeing a "sponsored in part by..." tag during today's end credits, either, which is usually when I see the commercials.
    • Totally agree on TMG - perfect daytime camp. I always get Febreeze commercials, and did today. I wonder why you're not, that's odd.
    • Dipping my toes back in, and Leslie continues to be THE star. Girl has brought the same energy since day one. Anita has become tons more interesting when played with her former groupmates. Kat is such a massive disappointment. I can’t stand her.
    • this was a great episode. Leslie with Jacob was lol as were the scenes with Jacob/Kat.  I like that Eva is vulnerable at times. Makes it easier to like her. The writers need to do this with Dani more. (and Leslie). The Anita scenes were also well done.  Big credit to the writers today!

      date: Thursday, June 5 | Christopher Dunn, Judy Tate | Michael V. Pomarico I love the way Vernon just observes Anita and knows exactly what's on her mind and yet still allows her to explain her way out of it all. He knows his wife. LAURA IS BACK AT WORK! I am very, very happy for you, and I love that Katherine, Mona, and Nicole are there to warmly welcome her back. It's been months! Uh-oh, Ms Dana, here comes the PD to raid your ass; I just wish Eva hadn't moved the helmet and gloves, because she could be caught NOW! Sharon continues to show how absolutely ugly she is with her nasty, distasteful attitude. Shame on her. Absolute shame. Dante Greene is the devil; a truly deplorable human being who clearly felt he could walk over someone without a care by luring the other three Articulettes with him via Anita. I admire that Anita is fully aware of things right now; she's considering everything: the positive and the negative. And with Vernon's support and wisdom, she's got this locked in. Oh, more backstory! There was a hiatus to mourn Barbara, and Anita did not come back. I hate to say it, but that does happen in real life. Choice to take a break, for whatever reasons, and you don't come back together. We've seen it before. I like how humble Eva is with her position at the salon and where she came from, especially in beginning as Nicole's assistant. I appreciate that Laura is struggling to transition back into her work space and that she's re-adjusting, with everyone giving her the grace she needs. I love that Jacob is not backing down to Dana and her attempts to "woo" him. YES ANITA! STAND UP FOR YOURSELF! Vernon saw what was coming and said, "I'm going to safety! This is for the women, not me," and he yeeted himself out of there. Katherine should have an office and a badge at this point; she's more than earned it. Oh, there is a slight flirt in Nicole's eye who is enjoying the continued run-ins with Ted; she's in love with him. And that isn't changing. Go on, Anita! You fight for yourself, girl! Speak the TRUTH! Oh, look, Eva and Laura. This is interesting. Very, very interesting. Notes: Febreze and no commercial; maybe it's only Tide that garners the commercials right now? Trisha Mann-Grant (Dana) continues to serve camp, but it's camp done right. It's not a comedy or a mockery; it's pure daytime camp. I wonder who they'll cast as Dante Greene if the role comes onto the scene. I appreciate them bracing the subject matter of suicide in a way that does not come off as... cliche or in poor taste. Tamara Tunie (Anita) is continuing to show up! I love this for her. A true matriarch and legend!
