Leslie and yet another wig. She probably picked this one up with a couple of hundred from that 50k Ted dropped off.

Tyrell is going to end up really getting hurt, either by bullies or himself.

Anita's line about things with Martin ending terribly was very much 70s soap. That sort of delivery is uncommon these days.

Martin still annoys me... but yes, the actor has gone from drama school reject... to... bearable.

I think the problem with him is that they are giving him material that a bad actor... or a really really inexperienced one... may struggle with A LOT. If he was given Andre material for example... he would have been waaaaaay more tolerable. It's too big of a bite for him to chew at times. The Martin character is important and has many layers in the writing. That means that the actor needs to be able to execute that...  

Now... imagine giving more dramatic material to Tomas. I start laughing just imagining it. Ronn Moss - beware... your crown may be taken!

Another work around could have been if Martin had been adopted by Ted and Nicole when he was ten years old, for example. That could explain PART of the reason why he's obsessed with making his family proud and doing well. It could also tie into his own decision to adopt.

I need to cosign on this becuase Jazmen's scripts are always good. When I see his name pop up at the beginning of episodes I know I'm in for a treat and this episode was no exception. 

Overall BTG has been a hit imo and has me watching soaps again, something I havent done in years. Sad to hear about Maurice but I'll stay tuned to see how everything plays out.

Can we give Anita a friend or frenemy or rival...like something so that she can interact with others outside of her family. Maybe one of the Articulettes who she had a falling out with can come to town with a secret.

Jazmen written scripts are always a treat, but we also should give credit to the breakdown writer Dunn because the episode flowed quite well.

Leslie/Silk Press Sheila vs Ted was so good and I also noticed that the scenes between them ran a little longer then usual.  So after getting a glimpse of Mr Hyde (Ted's dark side), I'm even more confused why he was replaced since he played up the dark/rough edges flawlessly.   And Leslie/Silk Press Sheila is so well cast!  She was missed!

Laura and Mona came back after a hiatus, but I have a feeling that Laura might not be ready to go back to work quite yet if the last scene is an indication (and girl... where are gloves?)

I'm curious what Martin's secret is.. and the story that Smitty mentioned he's working on I have a feeling will involve Chelsea and maybe shed a bit of light on those two quick scenes where we saw a less timid/more confident Chelsea with the guy and his partner.

I agree with everyone else that Martin should have been Vernon/Anita's son and not grandson.

Can't wait for tomorrow.

I've been down on the show for the last two weeks but today was very good! Finally! LOL I really like seeing Ted's dark side with Leslie because I enjoy his scenes with wife and daughter - it's a nice contrast.   I really hope Leslie didn't kill Laura.  I just don't want to see her cross that line.  I like her as a schemer, but don't want her to be murderer. 

Great breakdown by Chris Dunn and script by JDB.  I had no issues with how the characters acted or how the episode flowed.

      She and Alec Baldwin were on The Doctors together. I hope you post your thoughts on the book as you have been on the show. I've thought about giving Zimmer's book a read for a while, but I've never gotten around to it.

      Vivian and Sami had some great scenes in the late 90s where Sami would talk to Vivian about her problems, and Vivian would dole out sage advice. I have no doubt that in the fictional universe, Sami called Vivian to tell her about John (you'll recall Vivian called him Forrest while he called her Auntie Viv).

      1996/97 CBS moves Touched by Angel from Saturday 9 pm to Sunday 8 pm, where it pretty much inherited the Murder, She Wrote audience. `TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL' HAS PUT CBS EXECUTIVES IN RATINGS HEAVEN Touched by an Angel becoming a Top 10 show was a rare bright spot in that 1994-2000 CBS primetime mess era.

      Hahaha, dead. I still remember when Sharon threw Nikki's past in her face "you started on a pole and ended in a bottle". We saw Nikki go from climbing the pole to the OG ho turned housewife then snooty lady of the manor and now messy matriarch/grande dame.

        Very cheesy cover, but she got some good names to give quotes on how great the book is: Susan Flannery, Alec Baldwin (random), Pamela Long, Paul Rauch, Robert Newman, TV Guide, Soaps In Depth, and others. I'll have to let y'all know what I think when I get around to reading it haha.

      I started trying to get back into the show to see Mishael’s return and it’s been challenging. Especially with Days, GH, and BTG all being so entertaining at the same time. Squeezing in something as boring and anti soap opera as current Y&R just isn’t a fun chore.
