I enjoyed Doug today. I find nothing entertaining about his slut of a wife and her new Mob love interest. I actually would love it if Doug told the world about Vanessa and Joey.

Tell me how this goes past post-production... I bet everyone on set and in the editing room is laughing their asses off. Tomas should be discarded asap. We don't need people turning the channel off because of this cringe. "I can bring over a sweet treat. " 

 

It sounds like she is talking to an automated AI voice machine. No, excuse me... even chatGPT has more charisma than this.  

 Also... ASHLEY AND ANDRE ARE VOMIT-INDUCING. They have negative chemistry. Andre looks like someone is secretly pointing a gun at him making him act like he wants his woman. 

P.S Don't hate me for being slightly negative. I was raised in a toxic household and I can't help it. 

Kat: "That would really be... something."

Post-sex Tomas is smitten and clingy, and Kat is pulling away. Her face when he suggested a romantic getaway! That’s the last thing she wants. 😭#BTG #BeyondTheGates pic.twitter.com/qVm9wW9ZkF

That cringe line delivery:  "it's incredible how much we see everything exactly the same, like a real couple"

I usually love this show but I thought those scenes were horrible and I was *very* negative.

I hate the whole 'man creates romantic fantasy for woman' trope so Andre/Ashley left me cold-even more so b/c I'm not buying for a minute that Andre would be attracted to a wet blanket like Ashley.

I'm not rooting for an Andre/Ashley pairing, but every pot has its lid.  I guess my question is, why wouldn't he?

I'll be honest... I'm not into Andre/Ashley nor Andre/Dani because both couplings are basically rebounds for both Dani and Ashley with Andre trying to be a player and not doing a good job of it LOL

Totally justified.

Exactly the same reason I'm not rooting for either one.

More annoyed me than not on today's show:

-- Tomas asked Kat how the sex was. She replied "Lovely," which is not what someone Kat's age would say. Tomas went further, saying "That's something you say about your auntie's potato salad." What? Who wrote this dialogue?

-- Kat's entire response to the sex seemed off, because it was pretty much NO reaction. I don't think that's realistic from someone like Kat. She wasn't happy, she wasn't sad, she wasn't regretful, she wasn't emotional. She was nothing. 

-- Kat possibly being asexual? Sorry, there's no future in that on a soap. 

-- Tomas? He was a robot, as usual.

-- I was glad that Ted turned down Leslie's money grab, and like everyone else, I'm wondering what she did with the $50k. Still, I don't like seeing Eva AGAIN allow herself to be used by her mother. Yeah, there's trauma and breaking those chains and all that. I'm aware, but I don't want Eva playing both sides all the time.

-- Did I hear Andre call Ashley "Nurse Baddie"? Are you kidding me? In what effing universe is she a baddie?

-- For being a main hub at Garland Memorial, that nurses' station has so little activity it's hilarious. Ashley takes breaks at will. Why not, when there are no patients in sight? Only Shanice saved those scenes.

-- Ashley saw how Parisian Andre decorated his apartment for her and said "The is the greatest thing anyone has ever done for me." Kill me now and light me on fire.

-- It's so obvious that Samantha and Tyrell are June's kids that it HAS to be a misdirect. It's way too paint-by-numbers, so I hope to God we're being fooled.

-- If S and T are June's children, I do not want to see a ridiculous custody fight...not when the kids were legally adopted and saved from a very bad home life and a mentally ill mother.

-- I'd still like an explanation as to why that photo June carries around looks like it was taken in 1962.

THIS. On point with every comment. 

I'm one who used to enjoy the Joey story with Doug and Vanessa but I'm ready for something else. I think Vanessa has turned out to be a breakout character for the show and has chemistry with everybody and I need them to give her a story deserving of her talents. This needs to go somewhere fast or they need to move her into another story. 

I loved the scenes with Naomi, Jacob, Regina and June. It reminded me of the british soaps how they'll bring on a family member to enhance a story but not necessarily for a long run. I thought the actress who played Regina was good and I remain invested in the story. I feel like the kids might not be Tyrell and Samantha because that seems too on the nose and they tend to surprise us with reveals. Interested to see where this goes.

The weakest point of the episode were the Ashley/Andre scenes. I think they have good chemistry as friends but nothing more. I prefer him with Dani but again, they aren't ready to commit to that so it's hard to know what to think of those scenes.

I co-sign this. It’s interesting seeing people have all these theories when I don’t even think about the character when she’s not featured.

Right. It really doesn't matter who her kids end up being because they are 100% better off without her. And if they really are Samantha and Tyrell? Even with all of the fckery going on with their family, there is absolutely no value in them having any kind of contact with June. Have there been any instances of either kid commenting about wanting to know who their bio parents are?

It just feels like June is supposed to be one of those hard-living, always-hustling, quirky, Women of Brewster Place, Color Purple-type waifs that should be endearing but she ain't Celie.

So, I don't hate Ashley and I like her more when she's being OCD or neurotic. She definitely has more chemistry with Andre than she does with Derek. Derek & Shanice is definitely a better pairing and maybe they will branch out with Ashley beyond Derek & Andre.

I wonder when we'll get the reveal of who was on the other line with Leslie when she called asking for a favor ?
