As others have said, staging and blocking would at least make it seem like romance was in the air with BLQ. Mess up her hair, direct them to be playful with how they speak and the looks they give. AS could even be fully covered in attractive sleeping attire and a silk robe. If it’s also insecurity about her appearance, give her a pillow to hold, or sit her at a vanity and have Chase leaning on her chair, meeting eyes in the mirror, kissing her cheek, playing with her hair. There are ways to sell intimacy believably and make it still feel sexy. But what they are doing ain’t it!

Frank and his team need to take a page from the late Gloria Monty's book and follow the great romantic comedies of the '30's and '40's. Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda oozed sexual tension in Preston Sturges' classic "The Lady Eve," yet I don't think she did anything more to him besides play with his ear while the two sat on a couch!

I know many hated her but I liked her as Babe too. Emme lacked that grit that the part needs.

My one complaint about Lulu/Nathan is that if Nathan is not Nathan this is sexual assault. And that’s yet another violation Lulu is being subjected to. Imagine a man on this show being violated this much!

I suppose the show could make Nathan a John Black unintentional dupe. Thinking he really is Nathan, but some crazy fake or twin planned by Sidwell probably. I don't buy Ryan Paevey being able to play as any sort of criminal mastermind. I guess it depends on how much the show cares about Paevey. I wouldn't bother making "Nathan" viable again personally, but if I had to that would probably be the stronger way to play it.

And seriously, no one cares about Lulu's violation. In 2026, we are still told Britt is Rocco's mom and what Valentin did wasn't a big deal.

I don't think Britt claiming Faison had four kids is a flub (or one FV would leave in), so I have begun to suspect this is in fact a twin of Nathan.

Still infuriates me. And Charlotte is still so creepily obsessed with Valentin and treats Lulu like dirt.

Oy.

I was wondering who the fourth kid was too and assumed I forgot. Darn.

I never hated AH as Babe but I despised the Babe character.

ER was such an awful Lulu recast after JMB. Might as well have been a different character. AH came on and instantly felt like a continuation of JMB’s Lulu.

Am I misremembering yesterday but I could’ve sworn Ric was about to tell Liz what really happened to him and there was zero follow up today.

He tried to and began telling her about Alexis/Ava, but Liz stopped him and said she'd rather not know if it's in the past. Liz was happy Ric was willing to tell the truth, but more or less closed the topic.

I don't blame Liz for doing that. The poor gal has seen enough in her lifetime living in a la' Port Charles. 😂

Wait the big family emergency meeting is about schooling Michael on how to be an adult? This is silly. I wonder if it's just because Jacinda is a sex worker. Speaking of, they really are putting her with Kristina a lot. Now I'm getting the chem test vibes y'all were talking about.

Ok - there it is... it really is about Jacinda over the "locale", as Olivia said. Oh boy...

Ok I'm actually buying the chemistry between Kristina and Jacinda... I could enjoy this.

Just want to make sure I didn't miss anything, but Jason had a change of heart and just left, right?

That was a great cliffhanger!

Here we go.... let's do this!

Is Jacinda a sex worker, hooker, madame, call girl, prostitute or a streetwalker? 🤔

Can't wait to watch it late tonight on Hulu! Love a cliffhanger!

Anyone who's seen Heated Rivalry knows that Shane hooks his thumbs in his jeans this way.

I guarantee you that Rory Gibson is copying Hudson Williams here.
