Caroline needs a friend outside of the firm (and it's not Hayley). Ellie Wang is one of the very few actors who have never done daytime soaps that can actually deliver her lines without stumbling over dialogue (I'm looking at you, AA and BC🤨). It would be nice to see the character fleshed out a bit more.

I totally agree. It was nice to see some nice friction between her and Tomas today. There was some fire there. And I love her as the henchwoman and while she's been kind to Bill's women, she has let it be known she was there before Hayley and expects to be there long after.

I do like Caroline and think they should add people for her. But I've been saying that about Mona re: family since Day 1.

Jen Jacob is very lucky they hired Jordi. They work.

In time. Hopefully. It's good they have plenty of supporting characters who can act that they can expand on as needed.

What was the purpose of having Nicole march into Ted's office to urge him not to judge her? If she has really moved on, she wouldn't care what he thinks. Unless there are residual feelings, that entire scene makes absolutely no sense and it is utterly unjustified.

She occasionally likes to let Ted have a good look at her Attractive Ass. She's done this more than once. She ain't really moved on past her marriage, and that's why she's trying so hard to look as though she has.

I like that Caroline interacted more with Tomas today, and the previous day when she interacted with Chelsea/Madison... let's get her out and about at Uptown. Maybe she could interact with Ashley/Naomi/Derek/Jacob.. etc.

She is someone that knows where all the bones are buried so let's see if she can provide us with some clues for a treasure hunt for those buried bones.

Hot take: I would be here for an old-school Y&R-style doomed affair between the boss and the assistant. Psycho Hayley is incensed when Bill ends up cheating on her not with Dani (who he can't currently have) but Caroline!

It would not last since Dani and Bill are inevitably going to reunite, break apart, etc. for years to come, but it would be a nice entree for Caroline into the upper echelon. And she'd keep him on his toes.

From your lips to God's ears.

EXACTLY!!! She has hinted as much, with her being the henchwoman and all, so I would love for her to spill some tea like she kinda was today.

Let's not force dull Ashley on more folks. I think it would be a stretch for Caroline and Naomi to hang out, given the dynamics of Ashley being the boss' daughter and also considering the hints that Dani gave about Caroline covering for Bill's multiple infidelities. Although I don't put it past these writers to write an affair between Bill and Caroline, imo, it would make Caroline look like a dummy because she knows it's going to be a waste of her time in a dead-end physical entanglement, especially seeing that she knows what kind of man Bill is as far a romantic partner goes. I'd sooner see her with Derek, who has become more tolerable away from Ashley. It needn't be a forever relationship but an opportunity to see Caroline away from the firm. Even go on a date with Carlton or Kial. This show needs to mix things up more, it's really predictable in terms of pairings.

Monday's show -- the 16th -- will be a repeat.

Is this Pamela 3 times in a week?? Or maybe week and a half... but I'm loving that.

Mona, Randy, Lynette triangle? I did NOT see that coming

original release date: Friday, February 13, 2026 | writers: Sara A. Bibel, Cheryl L. Davis | director: Anthony Pascarelli

Thoughts:

• Bill definitely has an inkling that It looks like Lia Whitmore is about to have her hands full because Carlton seems like he is getting ramped up once again. Calm down, sir.

• Dani, darling, what is going on to cause you to be reacting like this? It is not good. At all.

• Lia looks like she does not appreciate Carlton's demeanour right now and would rather push it off on someone else. No nonsense. We love to see it in our Chief of Staff.

• So Lia and Shanice are entangled together? Interesting.

• That is right, Hayley. Watch out because I sure as Hell know Ms Lynette could and would steal Bill away from you in a heartbeat.

• Poor Dani is overreacting at this point. She has got to take a breath and realise this is her decision to make, and it does not feel rushed or hasty.

• Ooh, Ms Lia is eavesdropping and definitely peeping on the shenanigans happening in her hospital. We do love to see it happen. This is going to be juicy, juicy, juicy.

• Reporter #1 is nasty in a sweet burnt orange suit. At least Reporter #2 is a bit more optimistic. She wants that Eye on Fashion exclusive.

• Why do I get the sense that Lynette and Randy had a one-time thing together? I am sensing some underlying tension between the two of them.

• Dani is a natural-born salesperson. She has this in the bag to sell Tatum's new clothing line.

• Damn, Reporter #1 is ruthless. That was below the barrel. What publication is he with? Nasty News?

• BA-BHAM! Dani just shut that reporter down so effortlessly, and I know that everyone watching that livestream absolutely is buying into it, and that Tatum's line will get attention for it.

• Ooop... not Randy denying Lynette's advances. That is just going to make her work twice as hard to get back into his good graces and his pants.

• I hate that Nicole is being made to feel this way when nothing in her personal life has crossed into her professional life. No more than when Ted's cheating because public knowledge. At least she has been showing up to work.

Notes:

• Bibel and Davis are perfectly paired, and it seems to be their go-to pairing. I like it. A lot.

• Cecelia Sprecht (Lia) is cünty as fück. She clearly is a no bullshït kind of lady. I love it. We love seeing a hospital Chief of Staff that takes their job seriously and does not püssyfoot around.

• A side-set for the hospital? OK. I like it. A nice switch-up, just off of the Nurse's hub, is smart and works.

Different strokes. I never need to see Derek again in this life. He and Tomas are still the single weakest links on this show.

Lynette is such a vixen. The actress is such a find. I hope they have big plans for Lynette.
