I tend to like Hayley better when she's in scenes with people other then Dani and Bill, and I wonder if the show is intentionally doing this to show how Hayley sacrificed friends for the love of an older man.

She has acting chemistry with Naomi, had good rapport with Jacob/Derek.. and I was surprised at the rapport between her and Ashley during their 1:1 scene at Orphey's the other week.

I'm wondering if Hayley is doing this whole baby business for a variety of reasons such as money, security, and to ensure Bill is devoted to her in the same way as he's tied to Dani (because of their daughters).

Even Hayley rightly called out Bill's obsession with the Duprees and thinking it bizarre he keeps acting as if he's at their beck and call.   It was a nice warm up to the intensity and tongue lashing Nicole gave to him in the 2nd half of yesterday's episode.

100% agree!

Time for Tomas to get the Joe Perkins Special!

That ending was lame, but did Kat's face scream regret or what??

The previews were a little slow, but I'm excited to finally see the Articulette's perform!  

Tomas is trash.

Kat's face in the closing shot, she doesn't look happy at all.

Tomas has a little dck an the sex wasnt any good. She screaming get off of me

I've seen suggestions on twitter:  Have Eva and Kat team up to take down Tomas.  I don't think it would happen (at least not yet), but I'd be here for that when/if it does.

Yeah, I think Kat knows she only gave up her virginity to keep Tomas from Eva. I don't think she was as ready for this as she assumed.

TBH, that's exactly where I thought they would be going after Eva got angry at Tomas with the way he acted in the hotel room when Kat showed up. 

Tomas is speaking out of both sides of his mouth and he is trying to have his cake and eat it too.

I wouldn't be surprised if Eva and Kat find out he was playing both of them and this is what brings them together for a time to take him down.

Although, this is just a complete shot in the dark and my assumption from Eva's reaction yesterday.

• The continued 'sissy' bond between Nicole and Dani is so heartwarming to see and witness; it feels real, true and natural.
• Katherine is losing her damn mind where Tomas is concerned, and look at Chelsea dishing out the advice she should be taking.
• June, baby, are you okay? She really is showing some signs that mentally she is truly beginning to lose it. From the play money to her extreme obsession over the photo. Could mental illness and/or something like Dementia be coming into play where she is concerned?
• I adore seeing Nicole in grandma mode... but Samantha, baby, today? Deadbeat needs to keep out of that house, and Bradley deserves the room to breathe and not feel tied down by a liar and a deceiver. Focus on your modeling.
• Tomas, Tomas, Tomas... you are not being truthful right now... Eva is not a friend. She is more than that.
• Child bride, what makes you think Naomi (who has made her feelings about you known) would confide in you about what's going on with Bill?
• Murder is where the child bride is drawing a line?
• So the fashion industry is interested in the potential return of the illustrious Dani Dupree? Well... judging from her reaction, not only could she be into it, but the deals also seem... worthwhile? But I love how encouraging and honest Pamela is with her... and BACKUP!! Ring, ring!
• Well, it is official: Katherine Richardson is no longer a virgin! Whew... that was hot.
• Uh-oh... that is the face of regret for the decision she just made. Eva may not have been on Tomas' mind... but she was on Katherine's.

Notes:

• I love that the light outside of Bill's office is lighter (my preference) than the light inside of his office; those natural, realistic touches really are beginning to set this soap apart. Overall, the lighting is improving, set by set, and I like it. It's moving towards a more natural hue over the greener vibe we have had for some time now.
• Karla Mosley (Dani) is a natural; she knows her angles, and she works them well. Another fashion show does not even do this!
• Another well-done love scene... and it felt very authentic and real!!!

June sure was acting very antsy when Naomi brought up that phone number. I'm starting to think that she may be hiding something and she did something really bad that caused her sister to cut all ties with her. 

I really need Samantha to stop begging her parents to get back together. I get that having your parents break up sucks royally, but if Smitty really wants to divorce Martin and move on with his life, then she needs to accept it. 

I also need for Nicole to divorce Ted and move on. I honestly don't know why aside from Derek/Ashley, this show is so afraid to break up any other couple thus far.

I think the *characterization/history* of Anita and the Articulettes was based on Diana Ross and the Supremes, somewhat; but perhaps not the musical style?

I hope they go with the Supremes/Motown style. Since the ages are so wonky all over the canvas, I'm not pressed on getting this music style exactly right as to the year. I think these women could pull off the Motown stuff the best.

Tomas is a weasel. I hope they blow his trifling ass out of the water sooner rather than later so we can rid ourselves of the worst actor on the show. 

Haley had a moment where it looked like she realized the man Bill really way, but had to save face to keep her nefarious plans in check. I predict she'll be much more fun to watch when she's able to unleash her real self. With the scene today, I don't think Haley knows who June is, or at least genuinely doesn't recognize her. However, the person Naomi is going to meet might be the same person Haley was mysteriously talking to earlier this week.

Nope, major regret. And as someone mentioned, on a couch?  Give yourself some room for the first time haha.

Absolutely. This isn't a teenager losing it for the first time carelessly. She has waited and made that choice consciously. Seems pretty weird that she just waited this long and was so willing to give it up on a couch.
