I saw on Twitter someone day that Keith doesn't start as Ted until May 15th. With the 4 preemptions we can expect the next two weeks, that should push his debut to around May 21st.

If true, it'll be nice to see Turtleneck Ted get a strong send off before the new actor slots in for the next chapter of his life.

[Liberty City]

No. That's the date of the debut, per Robinson and his agents.

IT'SSSS TIME!!!!

 

Oh? Hey Derek!!!

 

Ooooooh Doug running to Nicole and confessing he has an addiction. Very nice development. 

 

Come thru, Teen Storyline!!! And yay a Jazmen episode!!!

 

Hey, Diego, hey!!

[ReddFoxx]

Bill is once again totally delusional. Why would Martin still treat him like family after how he humiliated his aunt?

That was the best preview for a coming week the show has had so far. It looks like things are going to blow up big next week.

 

[Taoboi]

Awwww poor Doug.

 

Ooooo Martin vs Bill. It's been a minute.

 

OH...potential drama between Ashley and Derek?

hehe. at Samantha ribbing Ty about a girlfriend. So relatable.

 

These Doug/Nicole scenes. Ooo.

 

That's right! Remind the viewers of that Martin's Secret storyline. Great Martin vs Bill scenes.

Good episode today in terms of character interaction and an update on the delusional three female associates wanting to take over Bill's law firm and ruin it.  If I were Bill, I'd hire Joey to take out Mike for putting his law firm in that position.  I've seen nothing from the way the three female actresses have played their characters to convince me that they have any sense of logic or business acumen.

I do notice that this soap is a little too pro feminist, but I've yet to see much evidence to show that all the accolades the characters are given the female characters is justified... except for Naomi and Nicole so far.  Both of those characters are showing their abilities and acumen.

I don't feel annoyed seeing Derek/Ashley being shown because it's so apparent it's sabotage by the writers isolating them from the rest of the cast.  Out of the two characters, Ashley has the most connections to the canvas.. but the writers seem unable to actually show her character in consistent scenes with those characters.

I know my age is about to show, but...Spark Notes?

 

OOooo a flashback. Interesting what Chels is saying. And oh, lord at the tea being subtext dropped.

 

Ooh...Bill is plotting...

Not Vanessa feeling a way about Diego (hey Diego hey!!! lol) not calling her back.

[Gatecrashers]

So P&G didn't learn from what happened with Otalia and Nuke/LuRe at all. Mature audiences in 2025 should be able to handle all types of love. I'm LGBTQ, as are many on this board, and we watched hetero romances for years (and enjoyed them). Why can't why see some representation onscreen? And, even TLC has shows about polyamory. It's really not taboo anymore. BTW, I'm not mad at you, Phoenix. I'm mad at P&G. If they are introducing polyamory and LGBTQ couples, etc., they should be expected to follow through. I want a scene between Chelsea and Alison or Martin and Smitty that is at least as hot as the Vanessa/Doug scene. I mean we have a lesbian that gets sexy scenes, but she plays them with a man because her character is hetero.

[Taoboi]

I wonder if this woman with Jacob and Naomi could tie into Joey and Jacob's partner.

 

LMAO!!! Not Vanessa refusing to not be labeled basic. And mmmm bubble. Hey, Diego, hey. lol.

 

I'm loving the Doug/Vanessa focus. But I admit that I'm missing SilkPress just a bit after yesterday's ending.

[Gatecrashers]

Unpopular take - I like Doug and I like him with his wife.

[Cheap21]

I think it would be interesting if she were Tyrell and Samantha's mother who had to give them up bc she was down on her luck. We just got a bit of their backstory that mentioned that they had unfortunate upbringing on the wrong side of the tracks before being adopted but I dont think it was mentioned what happened to their parents

 

Think about it, we just had Martin and Naomi have their first 1:1 to establish their close cousin connection. Set her up to represent her cousin's children's bio mother could be interesting drama if she wants to get involved in their lives

OOooo so this Bill hand thing is starting to form a nice subplot for him. 

 

OMG!! We are getting to the meat of the Vanessa/Doug relationship. YES, PLEASE. 

 

Haha at Jacob and Naomi. I love them as a couple. 

 

OMG at NEXT WEEK'S PROMO!!! yay for Mona sighting and Chels getting a personal story and roping Martin in.

 

 

OMG!!! I didn't even think about that. I would LOVE that. Organic and yet soapy at the same time. Shames of Original Yolanda on Y&R.

 

 

Hehe. I love you.

 

I missed it, but I look forward to it.
