They also forgot that it was Ted who told Andre he didn't want to confess to the affair at this point. But today Andre told Ted "I know you want to come clean." Huh? Did a scene get deleted?

I wanted the camera to pan down and we see Mike's little feet dangling.

Same. I've been saying that for a while. The show has definitely done a great job that...if she was not obsessed with Bill...Dani is an awesome businesswoman. Not completely nurturing, but will go to bat for who she manages...which is ripe for organic conflict in and of itself.

Same. Color me shocked. I was looking forward to Bill vs Naomi. Now she is backing out?? SMH.

 

And the Tracy/Alan storyline on Y&R

 

I continue to love everyone is coming around to Brandon. But I love that quite a few of the wooden actors are sloooooowwly getting comfortable enough to give better performances. 

 

I agree. I love that family unit.

All the product placements on  #BTG reminds me of when #DAYS did all the Chinese food scenes
Also,  #BTG needs to give Cady McClain something to do as Pamela Curtis.

It's a Jazmen episode. So of course I was going to like it. 

 

There was so much going on. And I honestly feel like I missed so much both viewing. Especially in the Bill/Naomi scenes. I guess to me...part of it is the watching on my phone vs my tv PS watching live in a little while since it's a 'Not Loading on the System' week for CBS...there were so much layers going on.

 

It was all B stories, but I found there was so much movement and character development going on with each story. Also...the actors were acting. And even got to see Nosy Nurse, too!!! AND outside of the Ashley/Derek/Andre bubble. 

 

There were so many things I liked. I really liked the Martin/Smitty family scenes. For so long in those scenes, Smitty came across the Mother in that group. This was the first time Martin was THAT Mother. And I loved it. And it resonated because if I was to ever have kids, I do feel like that would be how I would be...diva shade and all. LOL!! I also felt those scenes show how good Jazmen's dialogue can be with the younger cast since he himself is young which I love. I love having a teen storyline on a soap. Curious to see where it goes and how it will effect the whole family unit.

 

I don't know what game Vanessa is playing but I do know it's becoming a little more dangerous. That whole scene with her using her own husband to get a rise out of Diego (hey, Diego, hey! lol) I don't feel that was a good idea. And then she made Diego be Doug's trainer for the day. smh. Meanwhile, Doug continue to fall more and more into Joey's talons and trying to work his way out. And good use of Randy to keep Joey's absent presence alive. And good seeing Nosy Nurse.

 

And Bill and Naomi. I've very disappointed that it seems we won't be getting Naomi vs Bill in the courtroom. And now I wonder if the lawsuit storyline is going to up and vanish now. I did like that the scenes gave way to exploring the Bill/Naomi dynamic and getting eve more into their past. Make them inroads, Bill!! And OOPS...not Bill firing Mike. Perhaps this is going to turn into a whole other storyline.

 

And I saved the best for last. I know @kalbir is going to love seeing all the Dani/Andre praise. lol. As a Day 1 Fan, I love their scenes. Just when I think the writers might not go there with the Drunk Dani storyline, we get scenes of her spiraling. In multiple dresses. But I continue to love Andre being there for her and their chemistry. I do wonder if the show casted that 'baddie' Jacob (mmm Jacob) was trying to set Andre up with. A way to walk him away from the Ashley/Derek storyline?

People been saying that for a while, but they really have never been alone in the same scene except for maybe once. So good to have them perfectly side-by-side so people can see what others have pointed out...Jacob and Andre DO look like they could be brothers if not twins. 

 

 

I think I caught what you all were mentioning on yesterday's episode. It's very primetime cut/fade out. And might I say done better than someone else we know *cough*frank*cough* 

 

But yeeah, still trying to find their rhythm. 

The power of Jazmen.

Yeah it's pretty old school. Back when soaps would throw out the new promo for their shows usually by Wednesday. I admit that I like it when I'm binging Y&R and B&B

 

 

Hahahaha!!! stop!!!

 

LMFAO!!!

Some thoughts on the episode for today:

- Andre is too good to be saddled with the entitled and toxic Dani.

- I'm interested in seeing Cady as she molds the character of Pamela, her first original character.  Pamela is nothing like Dixie nor Rosanna today... she reminds me of Olga (the modeling guru that helped Erica Kane with her career on AMC) and the late Carrie Donovan (Link

- I'm team Hayley.  Dani is just so unlikable that I'm glad Bill cheated on her and dumped her.

- Jacob and Naomi have a nice chemistry and rapport with one another.  The thing Naomi refuses to see is that the reason she's such a pragmatic/logical person and is good at her job is because of her father Bill.   It underscores the importance and contributions of fathers to not only their sons, but their daughters.

- Bill was a little scary in his scenes with Mike, but you need those scenes to contrast with the scenes of Bill as a father.  The show is at least recognizing that you need a strong male character that you love to hate.

- Smitty/Martin need a recommendation for a good marriage counselor from Nicole

    • For a show that can seem allergic to drama, that was a surprisingly juicy moment, and much as I hate the term, actually very "soapy." It does seem like something where the beats that need to be played out may not be, so the reveal being as dramatic as it was is a great help. I like that Gio is the one who had that reveal, which was an unexpected twist. And the Nurses' Ball being used for drama but not in a way that felt gross (like a sex tape) or inappropriate (like a serial killer). It helps that Gio is easy to care about when used properly, so we feel bad for him and are invested in his reaction. And it was even in a sweeps period. I do wonder why this didn't happen on a Friday instead of a Thursday. Points to Rena Sofer, who was acting for her life in the background.  I'm glad the director remembered that Ned should have some involvement too.
    • Read her, Mona!!!!!!! And DEAD at 'Good talk.'   Hahahahaha! Of course, Nosy Nurse is listening in to Nicole and NuTed.   And Kat looks great in that red.   Hold up, hold up!!! Is that DEREK with attitude??  
    • I've always had faith in Mazza so I'm glad that was a bit rewarded. I think he could've been slightly less loud and I did think the whole bit with smashing the violin was a bit much. While Lulu being both brash and a busybody is 100% in character, I have suspected for some time that making her the well-intentioned but obnoxious heavy opposite Setton/BLQ is not a coincidence on FV's part. Nonetheless, Alexa is great.
    • Tracy's scenes were after June's. Interesting. Just a guess, but Anita was probably to Dante what Diana Ross was to Berry Gordy. Leslie just steps up the crazy each episode. Why was she stealing things out of the hotel room? On a technical note, is Keith wearing the clothes that Maurice wore? That jacket was huge on him and clearly the wrong size. I'm surprised production would let anyone go onscreen looking like that.  
    • Y'all could be right that it wasn't Henry Slesar.  But I think it's mighty strange that Russell Kubeck popped in as head writer with seemingly no previous writing credits or experience, then vanished into thin air once Somerset bit the dust.  And when you look at the subject matter of those last 6 months of Somerset combined with Slesar's previous tenure there under his own name --- I dunno.  
    • I think there are, they just don't usually get as much of the spotlight. This has long been an issue with GH. It's a little better now than at some points in the past. Lulu at least gets called out for her mess, and Kristina, etc. although in Kristina's case she's just exhausting to watch, and the story is directionless (the biggest issue with the show).
    • It's tiimmmmmmmmmmmmmeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Aw Hell no...not Silk Press Sheila trying to suck up to Mona.   Yaayyyy!!! Nosy Nurse!!!   NICOLE!!!   Andre looking FOINE in that vest.    NOPE to NuTed in that coat. Tbf that started off that way. I do wonder if that will continue to be an issue going forward.   Same. I really would love if it kept going.
    • The ratings the last few months seemed to hover between the high 4s and mid 5s with an occasional off week when it would almost hit 6.0. Ironically the last week the show was on the air, it did hit 6.2 so it proved that people were available to watch the show.. but had fallen off due to the constant change in focus. It's possible that maybe the final writer was Henry Slesar considering the more crime slant the show took in the final months... but why work against your other show.
    • I have some catching up to do, so I'll come back with more later, but I am watching yesterday's episode... Andre/Derek/Ashely have not sat well with me since day 1, and I can't believe I'm going to say this...but if two had to go, I would pick Ashley and Andre. I cringed at Andre blowing smoke up Ashley's ass and making it seem like she couldn't possibly have done anything wrong to drive Derek away and that if he was in Derek's place, he would never walk out on Ashley because Ashley is just so flawless

      Like whhhhaatttt? The girl is sitting there with a mountain of tissues crying over a basic argument that she could easily pick up the phone and end. Sean Freeman's acting choices bother me a bit...they have from the beginning which makes me dislike the character even more. I don't get Andre's obsession with an overgrown "Miss Perfect" like Ashley. Ashley reminds me of the good girl that grew up super sheltered and tried to do well at everything and wanted everything to be a certain way. She's bland. Mama is as spicy as warm milk yet Andre is all over that. Then he's always exhaling that last word and scrunching up his nose and pouting his lips in his Mr. Rogers sweaters and it just makes me mad.
