Who is monitoring her spending?

Maybe the upshot is that Leslie is spending way beyond her means and she'll end up broke again. The house will be repossessed etc,

Part of her comeuppance.

I realize I harp on this, but I think he spending is relevant. 

She's not just buying new wigs. She's building a mansion, she's funding a sports complex, she's paying for operations for people she doesn't know, she's caring for Peaches, she's buying apartments.

We saw ?her get ONE check for ONE million dollars. That's it. I may be wrong, but I thought they said she'd get a payment every 6 months.

Regardless, she could not rule the roost on $1M, and the show is not doing a good job there. Pretending that doesn't matter? I can't do that. 

All they had to do was add a couple lines about payouts and payments. 

In other news, I would love to know just how much Anita was putting into that trust as well as what investment got her what has to be an incredible return. 😂

Vernon was spotted by the worst person possible. Leslie is definitely going to use that to her advantage somehow.

Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?

She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM? 

I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.     

I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family. 

Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall.

It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest.

I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.

That was the best part of Tuesday's episode.

Martin and Smitty and their family are boring. 

Im confused. Does Jessica know anything about June's relation to Tyrell? At the start of the episode, it seemed like June was gonna slip that he was her son but she caught herself but later in the episode she referred to him as "my boy" and Jessica had no reaction like that wasnt a surprise to her

No, Anita was putting money in the account every 6 months but we werent told how much was in it when Leslie became a beneficiary. The show has set it up that it was multiplying based off the interest so that its really worth quite alot now. I dont buy it but thats what they've told us

I know Anita mentioned that she no longer was investing in the trust, while Leslie had stated that the interest was multiplying at a decent rate... but I do have a feeling she'll wipe through the trust in a short amount of time with the amount of spending she's doing.

The show always throws in tiny nuggets of foreshadowing and having Anita's remark and Eva warning her mother not to overdo the spending tells me that Leslie will be blowing through that money eventually.

I dont think he knew Leslie was staying there.

I know this is all for the drama and mess which Im here for, but Vernon really could have easily rented a small studio space where he and Sharon could practice lol.

Ted also stays at the hotel and Vernon is probably aware of that. As much as Ted wants to be back in Nicole's good graces he might feel obligated to tell if he saw Vernon coming out of a woman's room since keeping secrets got him in so much trouble before.

Well I'm glad Leslie is confronting Vernon now so it won't be some silly Winterfest reveal.

Yes Martin Kat IS a giant baby, speak on it sweetie

• Not Dana letting Vernon know that she is aware of his presence at the Bowman. No bueno. She cannot handle keeping things to herself for a period of time.
• Spoilt bitch, no offence, but I cannot stand you. You are getting everything you deserve.
• I like that Ted is not willing to take sides in Eva's battle with her sister. That is smart.
• As much of a problem as I have had with Martin since day one, I appreciate him seeing Eva as she is: his sister. So refreshing.
• Not Anita overhearing Dana and Vernon's conversation. How unfortunate.
• I love how happy Martin is for Eva. That is what a sibling does! And speak on it: the spoilt bitch needs to shut her trap before someone (Eva) shuts it for her.
• Aw, how cute is it that Andre and Dani are re-exchanging vows? Just a shame it will not last when Dani goes back to Bill and Andre goes to Ashley. And he said the four-letter word!
• Eva and Martin's banter is so cute; I love that she offered to talk to Samantha, whom she formed a bond with at one point in time doing her hair. And her face when the spoilt bitch made her presence known is how I feel whenever she shows up, opens her mouth, and acts like she is God's gift to the DMV.
• "Well, not anymore," get her, Eva. GET HER! Yesssssss.
• Anita has a vivid imagination? Ooh-la-wee! Anita, let us in on it. Please.
• Why do I feel like Dana is not talking to Ted about Peaches but about what Vernon is [supposedly] doing with Sharon? Hmm.
• Wow... I am surprised. It IS about Peaches. Colour me surprised.
• Ooh! I am so happy that Martin overheard the spoilt bitch wish Dana had "gotten rid" of Eva. Let her have it, sir! DO IT!

Notes:

• Right when I thought I would catch a break after writer² yesterday, today we are stuck with the writer. At least, like Danielle Paige yesterday, we have one of this soap's best scriptwriters (Brown) writing.
• I am sorry, but this soap's take on half-siblings or even step-siblings is very off-putting, as if they are less than full-blooded siblings, when in reality they are as special and important.
• The food at Uptown definitely rivals Orphey Gene's; it does look absolutely delicious and comforting.
• Sean Freeman (Andre) showed up today with the emotional pull. I knew he had it in him, and it is beautiful to see at the hands of Brown's scripted words.

Whew Kat went to hell with that last line lol.

 

Colby and Ambyr are so great as rivals
