Kat calling someone a Nepo baby is a level of delulu lmao

Tomas ain't [!@#$%^&*]. Why is he even having this conversation with Eva and again saying wayyyy too much.

So I wonder could the sister be lying? Maybe she's the drug user and they were HER kids? 

It's possible. Who knows at this point? 

These Ashley/Andre scenes are cringe.  Just ewwww.

Tomas is ewwww

• I am beginning to wonder if June might be schizophrenic or suffer from a more serious mental condition that has gone untreated for several years.
• I adore what Andre is doing for Ashley; it is beyond romantic. He is a keeper! #Ashdre/#Andley for the win for me.
• Joey putting the moves on Vanessa (who is pretty in pink) while the innocent bodyguard just stands there!
• I understand why Regina is putting the pressure on June, as there is a lot of hurt there, but part of me feels like June has buried that part of her life so far down she cannot unearth it.
• I am glad Eva is onto the kind of mentality Dana is trying to sell. It will not work.
• Uh-oh, Katherine is fully disconnecting from Tomas already... this is not going to end well, is it? But I would like a sweet treat, Tomas!
• Andre is too smooth for words; he is smart-thinking, not taking her to the restaurant but ordering takeaway and creating Paris in his own personal space.
• Well, here comes Dougieboy ready to gamble his wife's money away, and he is cöckblocking Joey and Vanessa from getting it on! And he brought Drake, awesome!
• I love that Ashley was admiring Andre's photograph, which is very nice to see! The chemistry is fire!
• What the Hell is Douglas doing right now?! He is pushing buttons that should not be pushed. At all.
• Katherine is in trouble... and I am here for it. Here comes Ted laying down the law!
• Eva just connected the dots to what went down between Katherine and Tomas, and she is utterly crushed! Poor girl... always the second choice to others.
• Joey is about to bug Douglas' car, but why do I feel like this could backfire onto Vanessa at some point?
• I wish Katherine would stop lying to Tomas. Just be honest about how you feel about the experience. But Tomas is laying it on like extra-hold spray right now.

Notes:

• Lauren Buglioli (Vanessa) is giving Elle Woods in her pink outfit. I love it. And she plays the Elle-lite type character extremely well. Someone who visually seems the 'dumb blonde' but is as smart as they come.
• I appreciate the split-screen phone call instead of just flipping back and forth between sets. Again, more unique production choices. Plus, the iPhone text template? The best of any soap.
• Trisha Mann Grant (Dana) continues to provide camp but not too much of it. She is just enough camp to not explode all over the canvas.
• Damn. Jon Lindstrom (Joey) would scare me enough that I would be soiling my boxer briefs.
• Keith D. Robinson (Ted) is MAGIC! This is how you do a recast! He embodies the role, and I love it; a range of emotions.
• Ambyr Michelle (Eva) continues to be a standout talent. If I were Michele Val Jean and company, I would keep her happy and lock her down when contract negotiations come around, because I could see her exiting for primetime and film.

I missed the first 20 minutes.  The remaining 40 minutes were just awful.  

Andre/Ashley: horrible.
Leslie-Dana is annoying and has become unwatchable for me.
The Joey storyline is icky.

I really hope the earlier parts of the episode are better.

Who spilled to Ted that Kat sabotaged Eva regarding the clinic credential?  I guess it was Tomas? 

Okay, well, ummmm...that hundredth episode didn't hit but congrats are due anyway. I sorta feel like Kat, yep we did a thing but I wasn't really feeling it.

Eva was too emotional over Tomas. Like girl get a grip. They've hardly developed any sort of meaningful relationship for her to feel that way. It may be a fault on the show's part for not developing that dynamic more fully for the viewer before giving us this torn up Eva moment or it might just be that I think Tomas ain't s.hit. 

Yikes, Alex's acting is rooougghh. I honestly couldn't tell whether the words he was telling Kat were genuine or if he was playing her by saying all the stuff he thinks she wants to hear. The man was just reading words off the page. 

Joey has got to be the least intimidating mobster in all of DMV. The Joey and Doug scenes came across more humorous than foreboding.

I did not hate the episode. I was very interested in some of the conversations. From the June and Regina showdown to Dana and Eva's manipulation face-off,  and the musical chairs with Doug/Vanessa/Joey. 

I loved Andre in this episode. He looked good, his pad is gorgeous. We got more characterization, and he was romantic. He is the romantic lead of the show. I haven't warmed to Ashley yet, but I like what they did with him today.

Brace yourselves, I'm going to say something super off the wall(not shocking): Keith should have been cast as Kat's love interest. He makes more sense to me as her older, accomplished boyfriend.

Leslie did an episode or two ago. She mentioned that she had a feeling that Kat was involved in messing with the accreditation. She told Ted that Eva didn't directly say Kat did it, but she knows her daughter. 

I kinda love that Tomas is the one who's sprung while Kat looks like she could have had a V8 lol. Has this happened on a soap before where the girl isn't enthused at all after losing her V card

On American soaps? Not that I am aware of. It is refreshing to see a different take on it not being "OMG! I LOST MY VIRGINITY! I AM SEXUALLY ACTIVE NOW! LET'S DO IT ALL THE TIME!"

The actress who played Regina is really good. I definitely felt her pain. 

 

I too loved Andre this episode. Although Ashley is a flop I did like their conversation today.

Andre needs to just leave IMO. I can't take that character at all. 

Now Keith being Kat's boyfriend

Thanks.  That must have been one of the Leslie scenes I muted.  I've muted her scenes in the past few episodes she's appeared in.
