I hate how Joey is openly disrespecting Vanessa, talking to her like she's garbage, while complimenting her with fake words.   Telling her that he owns the escort service -- he pretended to be polite but it was menacing and so very creepy.   This is behavior I hope she can recognize, if she can.

I also hate that he's secretly using her for financial stuff, which she wouldn't know about.

So it's two different things and I hate them both.

I feel like they've been mostly writing this show for a women audience, but this Joey storyline is so demeaning to women.  Well Joey is also demeaning to everyone, including Randy and Doug. Everyone is just a pawn to him.

Tbh Doug feels like he has a short shelf life, and at the end of this Vanessa will be coming out of this story a strong independent widow who beat Joey at his own game (he too has a short shelf life).

 

Randy seems like one of those supporting characters who may have a bigger role to play in the future after this Joey arc is over.

Okay... so Joey runs an escort service too? Looks like that's a detail that can give rise to potential future stories and plot twists. 

Yeah, I know that Joey is very scummy and diabolical and he's a horrible person, but he does have chemistry with Vanessa. Two things can be true and they don't have to be mutually exclusive. 

And am I horrible for secretly hoping that Joey somehow sticks around as a long term villain? I mean, Bill and Hayley can't be the only antagonists on canvas and we don't know how much longer Leslie is going to stick around once her scheme is unraveled. 

And I will say that Vanessa and Doug also have a lot of chemistry, which is surprising given the current state of their marriage. 

I also was not expecting Leslie to walk in on Kat taking a picture of the family photo with Leslie and Eva. I wonder what's going to happen to Kat now. 

I feel like the main reason why we really haven't had too many scenes with Chelsea and that couple is because TPTB might be worried about the potential backlash they might receive and how viewers might react. Just speculation.

Leslie's downfall is her own stupidity. It never made any sense why she created the Anna persona and approached Kat. Even if she wanted to do that, why not just do it as Leslie? She was being too extra for no reason

also why does she still have photos up in that place after Ted walked in? He could come back to see if she actually left or something like what happened yesterday could have always been a possibility. Im not understanding her

I haven't been too interested in Joey thus far, but I am ecstatic to learn more about his escort service. We could get some colorful characters from that world; just wish we had more single men on canvas.

I agree, the escort service could be fun.

They should take a chance with the Chelsea storyline, a little controversy wouldn't hurt the show; what happened to Daytime pushing the envelope?

Same. I had trouble understanding her motives and actions too!

You're right, they have. You could still make this story about a woman's triumph
