Is Allison's husband still alive? She has gone unhinged and it wouldn't be surprising if she had done something to him.

Vernon treats Bill like a doormat and I'm here for it. Bill wanted to maintain the clout that the Duprees have so he can't complain about being caught up in their orbit. With that said, Vernon should have had some plans of his own. They didn't have to kill Kenny, but they could have scared enough to back off.

This storyline with Hayley might be where Ashley actually works. Their interaction was interesting and I think Ashley has her number.

So this one known as actor Jermaine Rivers has been eliminated in his role of "Damien" from Y&R.

Is he headed to Fairmont Crest? I got some ideas if he is. 😉 

I would love for him to make his way to FC.

JR is not a bad actor. He was let down by the writing...as everyone flying away from that show have proven (or will be proving next year in one's case) by how the actors are bouncing back on other soaps and showing they can act. But I digress.

 

I feel BC has been doing a good job. That said...I do feel that the show has pulled back from some of the actor's debatably few strengths...and that has been hit or miss. But I am invested in his storyline. 

 

The real question is...now that we are not slowing easing BC into the role and are now in the thick of his storyline and its approaching climax...can BC pull it off. And we are about to find out. 

JR was quite good on Y&R and he can generate chemistry with his co stars which is a plus. I’d welcome him in a heartbeat.

I haven't really had a problem with BC. I've enjoyed his performances and don't think anybody is propping him up. Today's episode was very strong and tense in large part due to his performance. I love how they've kept the momentum up so we can tell that the secret is finally coming out. 

The other major highlight for were the Ashley/Haley scenes. They have a nice chemistry and it's refreshing to see Ashley outside of the relationship with Derek. All either of those characters needed was to get away from each other. Well he also needed to learn to act but I'm happy we're past that. Ashley has shown herself to be a bit of a mess so I wonder where she's going to land with Haley. 

Vernon and Bill's scenes were also excellent. I loved Vernon calling his wife as things escalate to a 10. 

All in all this was a great start to the week. I can't wait to see what comes next! This is now potentially 3 blockbuster weeks in a row. I hope the ratings reflect it.

I also haven’t had a problem with BC but I feel like I’m starting to be in the minority about the show in general. It’s still my most look forward to show every afternoon and the only one I try to watch live.

Vernon being so shocked murder was on the table made me roll My eyes. But I still continue to love every Bill and Vernon interaction.

Madison and Chelsea still do nothing for me.

A female love triangle with 3 black women has to be a first on soaps though.

Continue to love Jacob and Smitty as friends. I’m a big fan of friendships on soaps and don’t understand why everyone always wants everyone to hook up.

People are more critical here but I find in other areas that the show seems to have more support. It's always trending on twitter these days and people seem to be enjoying what they're seeing. I've also seen more interest on other boards. Of course they were also seeing an uptick in ratings but I don't know if that will be lost with the week off. 

Overall from what I've seen, this Martin story seems to be drawing people in.

I cant beleive Im saying this but Ashley and Hayley's scene made them both moe interesting. Hayley desperately nees to interact with more characters and Ashley needs more business than her triangle

Alison is beyond pathetic. Girl, go away!

The last month or so they’ve been playing much more with character interactions and it’s been to the benefit of the show. Not only did Ashley need more to do but so did Hayley.

Whew… that was rough. 

Brandon Claybon seemed to make a lot of weird choices yesterday. In Martin’s scenes with Bill, it was almost like he was playing it more as sassy instead of angry or worried, which was definitely not a good choice for this story. Timon Kyle Durrett was acting circles around him. And so was Mike Manning. 

Speaking of Mike, I wouldn’t mind if they went there with Smitty and Jacob but I also enjoy them as friends. There’s like a parallel between as Dupree outsiders. 

And for the first time in a long time, I actually found Ashley interesting in her scenes with Hayley.

Yes. There would be no value in Jacob and Smitty hooking up. The show already has two storylines driven by cheating so adding another one would be pointless.

💯 It's a lovely friendship to see; plus, it unites them as Dupree family spouses, so they share that bond of knowing what it's like to be the 'outsider' in the family's orbit.

I'm beginning to have the same feeling; she claims he beat her, but I do think it [might] be the other way around.

You're not alone. Although, I'm not home to watch live every day, I record it and look forward to watching it. 

Also, I don’t think BC is bad as everyone is saying. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I think he is improving. I've grown accustomed to his style of acting and it doesn't bother me at all. At least he is not boring... like some other entities. 

LOL his tweet and replies are funny too

 

 

 

I have grown accustomed to his more casual interactions with other actors. It sounds a little less like he's narrating Reading Rainbow and has a more natural flowly conversation feel mixed his unique cadence and tone. 

However, there is no denying those bigger emotional reactions come across poorly. I am not calling for a recast at all. This is how I felt about Ted. The acting needed work, but the actor should be able to stay and given the resources to improve. 

I second Smitty and Jacob not needing to be involved romantically. I enjoy their friendship and I wouldn't mind there being some unfounded spousal jealousy because of how close those two become, but I do not need them to actually cheat. Friends is a good direction for them.

Glad he has a sense of humor about it, but Martin should have been home teaching these kids some lessons because they're a mess as teens.
