But I do think they need some better conflict though. I still think Martin objecting to Smitty going back to work was their best one.

Those kids are ready for college right? Why does Smitty need to be home darning socks?

It's not an argument this couple should be having.

I wish they had been written as child free and navigating other issues rather than being presented as Ward and June Cleaver.

The Izaiah actor is giving me fake ass Shemar energy.

Perhaps Jacob/Izaiah might be educated professional/troublemaking brothers with a contentious relationship in the vein of early Neil/Malcolm.

Oh lord. Izaiah is fine.

Thank you @Cheap21 for the eagle eyes. The credits strike again from what I see here before I dash off.

Kat missed her mother's awards ceremony to be with Tomas and now she missed her brother's wedding for Tomas.

She deserves to be dragged for today but she didnt miss the awards ceremony for Tomas. She went out of town to attend to an important business meeting regarding ChelseaKat. She was working so I give her a pass for that

Yeah, I'm not crazy about her missing the wedding thing. Maybe they thought too many bodies on that set would be too crowded.

I thought the vow renewal was very nicely done -- authentic and romantic. I didn't like the way Samantha and Tyrell were shuffled in and then shuffled out. That wasn't natural at all.

Bill talking about Dani pushing Andre's baby in a stroller goes to show how unnerved he is. And Naomi borderline encouraging his meddling by suggesting a post-nup was ridiculous.

Does Bill really think Dani's baby-making days are still here?

Naomi's post-nup comment was indeed ridiculous. We've been told repeatedly that Andre has his own money and we've had zero indication he's a gold digger. Naomi says the dumbest, most annoying things.

Folks committing (justifiable) homicide and covering it up is just another day of the week on daytime. Smitty and Martin are no different.

Yep. I have no problem with the pacing of Smitty and Martin's reconciliation.

Wait...you got that from a few seconds in the previews for next week?

Only thing I noticed is that the actor is hot as all hell.

He's so fine and at a (very brief) glance can probably act.

I do hope he is played with both sisters, but I still suspect this may be a feint for him ending up seducing Naomi given the current circumstances. I don't care much for Naomi but there is dramatic potential there, though I'd def like to see him end up with Eva or Kat.

Yes I did.

Do you know how many fake ass Shemar's have come through Y&R over the years? That's where I got the detecting from

BtG could go the Neil/Dru/Malcolm route with Jacob/Naomi/Izaiah. I'm thinking Izaiah and Kat though, Kat being a bougie princess and Izaiah being a bad boy.

I liked some of those Shemar replacements! Whatshisface, Angel Conwell's onscreen brother was good. And ol' Keith Hamilton Cobb. Wasn't that dude a samurai chemist?

I'm anti-Naomi right now, and I'm already tired of her comments about having a baby. As I've said, if she doesn't want it, have an abortion. No one's trying to stop her.

I really don't see her with Izaiah, but anything with him that gives us less of Tomas is OK with me.

I just think there is good drama to be played in Jacob's ne'er-do-well brother laying down with his wife, and maybe Jacob finally having that fling with Kat. And I say that as someone who finds both Jacob and Naomi pretty boring by themselves.

But I do find Kat, Eva and potentially Izaiah all much more interesting, so I would have Izaiah end up in that sphere down the road no matter what happens with the Hawthornes.

Yeah, there were some, but there were also fine as hell Black men who were really good.

I hear you on the drama if Izaiah gets involved with Jacob and Naomi. I just don't see Naomi with the bad boy type. I'll roll with it if it happens, though.

 

I think this was a very good week for BTG -- my favorite week in a good while.
