The dialogue was not written great, but Ms. Tunie brought it alive for me.  She's so great that I felt I was the room with Anita Williams Dupree.  Ms. Tunie is so alive.  I forget she's an actress and am captivated by the character.  Which is an achievement when the storyline isn't that interesting yet.

(in contrast to a few other actors that I feel are just actors saying lines.)

  • Vernon feeling frisky? Oh, la la! I love a couple that are older in their years and are still vital sexually. That's beautiful and should be more naturally acknowledged. And yes, we are talking about the Articulettes some more.
  • It looks like Bill's hand problems are still existing; it is definitely giving multiple sclerosis, and the child bride is beginning to notice now.
  • Nicole going off on Andre is fire; I love that no one is safe from her firestorm.
  • Dani performing reverse psychology on Nicole was brilliant, and now she's catching the passing glances between Andre and Dani.
  • Eva, what are you trying to get out of by connecting with Katherine when she's made it known you are dead to her? I feel for Eva, because she wants that connection she was robbed of by Dana's manipulations.
  • Not the "Homewrecker Helper", haha. Is that the new flavour from Hamburger Helper? 'Cause I would try that out.
  • I love that Anita called Vernon "vocally challenged" while remarking he might have improved by now.
  • I appreciate that Nicole is not placing blame on Andre and his knowing of Ted's secret, as easy as it could have been to do so.
  • Bradley is the superior (and only parent) to Samantha and Tyrell, and I love seeing his connection with them both.
  • So Deadbeat is inviting Eva to eat pizza with the family? This is... interesting. I am wondering why he's so invested in Eva.
  • I really don't think Bill and Hayley should be doing the deed in his office, especially with what happened with Mike and Becky, Carrie, and Stefania.
  • Dun-dun-dun, Nicole is flat out asking about what's going on between Andre and Dani, and I am here for it.
  • I adore Jacob and Naomi's dedication to helping out June; it makes me wonder if there genuinely is more at play.
  • Anita attempting to keep her composure while playing the piano as Vernon hits every single note but the right one is hilarious. It's those kinds of character traits I adore.
  • Oh, we have got a full house right now; Samantha is inviting Jessica (who I am wary of) over, and Deadbeat bringing Eva home.
  • Dani Dupree Hamilton... now is not the time to keep a secret from Nicole. It would've been much easier to come out and say you've been sleeping with Andre since the time of Bill and Hayley's wedding. Now this is going to become a bigger thing than it absolutely needs to be.
  • Looks like the child bride's idea of "sexy" is messy and unprofessional, something that Bill Hamilton Esq. has a storied history of.
  • Samantha is sassy AF, and I am loving it! It's a nice pace change and lets us see she's got some spice mixed up in that blood.
  • Poor Jessica is wondering why she's included in this group discussion Deadbeat is having and the reveal of running for president. Uh-oh. I feel like this is going to come out, and it's going to affect innocent Tyrell, which is not fair.
  • The reunion of the Articulettes is a go! Let's see how this goes, because as Anita remarked, this could be a disaster.
  • Of course Dani went to immediately screw with Andre. Of course she did.
  • Serenity Beauty & Hair? Are we getting a possible beauty salon set? Omg, please!
  • Sharon isn't into a reunion; I guess that means Sharon is one of the Articulettes, then?!

Notes:

  • The product placement is really being sold; I cannot blame Proctor & Gamble, though, nor can I blame CBS Studios/the NAACP for allowing it, either. As a Tide user, I can say I use the original. It's the best.
  • Oh, so we're producing a vinyl sleeve mock-up? Oh, I love that. The attention to detail is key.
  • The story of the Articulettes is definitely a mirror of the Supremes during the Diana Ross era.
  • The continued use of music on this soap is sublime, and it is rich.
  • The outdoor exterior of Orphey Gene's is so much; I kind of wish it were an expanded, real set. Maybe once the budget comes back around, we can expand it?
  • The growing use of June is interesting; it's nice seeing the developing story of this character, especially when on other soaps (i.e., The Bold and the Beautiful) we've seen this turn quickly or become a blink-and-miss type of story.
  • Knowing that Clifton Davis (Vernon) can actually sing, it's impressive seeing him purposefully hit every single wrong note imaginable.

I hated this story from the first time I heard the word "president," and I've complained about it ever since. They went too big with the office -- should have been governor or the Senate. Nothing about Martin says "presidential."

Uh....OK.

      -- We're getting really bad soap. I honestly couldn't care less about any of it, and I wish the ratings would freefall so we'd get a change in writers. -- Does anyone believe Victor would spend his evenings walking around the GCAC and looking for people to talk to? Without Nikki on his arm? -- I'm again left to looking at sets (the few we get each day). Am I right that they moved the bar in at the GCAC to place it more diagonally to the dining room? -- The last time we saw Crimson Lights the room looked smaller to me, so I Googled images of CL, and yeah, it's smaller. Along the back wall where the booths are, there once was wall area behind the booth on the right. That wall area is now gone. -- When Phyllis hijacked Billy's phone to get Dumas' number, I gagged when she went to the park in the middle of the night to break into it. Who does that? -- I feel sorry for these actors. This is all such garbage that I have no words.

      I think early RH had arguably some of the most complex characters on daytime; people who were truly neither all saints nor all sinners.

      I remember reading posts a while back theorizing that Hayley and June could be sisters.  I compared their voices in today's episode, and I believe it's possible.  Maybe the photo is Hayley and June as children or teens?

      I would be lying if I said I cared about the direction of this Mama June storyline. Doesn't make me care that much for Jacob or Naomi...although I actually want to know these characters better, but just not in this capacity.  Honestly, it would be best if she's somehow connected to Hayley, because that character is seriously in a corner. Even after all they did, Eva and Leslie have more reason to interact with the rest of the cast.

      -- Great scenes with Andre and Nicole. -- I hope Dani loses Andre because she wants to keep him hidden. He deserves better, and I have no idea why she's acting that way. -- The hair stuff with Eva at the end was fun, but does she carry hair pieces and extensions with her, too? -- Samantha looks 30 lately. I can't unsee it now that I know. -- I am glad we already see Eva and Samantha getting along. I didn't want weeks of Samantha shading her. -- Clifton Davis was pretending he can't sing, and that didn't work. It looked like we were watching someone pretending he can't hit a note. -- They need to step up this Anita storyline. Watching her and Vernon praise each other every day is getting tiresome. -- Hayley clearing Bill's desk to have sex was cringe. He enjoyed it, but it won't be long before he realizes he married a little girl instead of a woman.

      @Jason47 For Your Information, generally.  I have just exchanged emails with the Paley Center. They got back to me within 24 hours!!  They have  However,  I have suggested to them that it is a clerical error Hart instead of Hunter but gave them the info on her years, her character name & that she did indeed marry David Martin. I referred her to imdb & wiki to double check me, should she wish to make a notation.  Now for the bad news:  So, that's a shame. If anyone is in the vicinity, you can view videos sitting in a cubicle. I did so when we lived in Brooklyn. Their hours: The Paley Center is open to the public Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 6 p.m.

      The way Andre held Dani afterwards, be still my heart. They think its only booty call hook ups, but I'm sensing a love slowly growing.  Way too much booty popping LOL.

      I'm just pleased the homeless plotline has a point. I'm surprised they're going here this soon with the kids.
