Hayley being over excited about getting money for an anniversary gift from Bill was hilarious and so in character.

Dani should have pulled out one of those toy guns that when you shOOT it a flag pops out saying "Surprise!'

I agree it's great for Shanice's family to pop in.

Iona Morris Jackson plays Dr. Monica McCormick, Shanice's auntie. Iona is the real-life sister of Phil Morris who played Tyrone on Y&R. Their dad was Greg Morris from the original Mission Impossible TV series. (on the reboot tv series Phil played the son of Greg's character).
Iona played Tamara Tunie's sister on ATWT.

This show is usually an A+ when it comes to fashion, but that jacket on Joey.... is rough!

Does anyone know if Anita's scene with Gayle King is available to watch online? I couldn't find it on Youtube, and I don't subscribe to Paramount+.

Try X/Twitter people often post clips

original release date: Monday, March 2, 2026 | writers: Sara A. Bibel, Cheryl L. Davis | director: Phideaux Xavier

Thoughts:

• So the first anniversary is paper, huh? Could not have made it divorce papers over money? And here comes Ms Dani!

• Joey is very clearly setting Randy up to portray him as disloyal and unreliable. It is only a matter of time at this point.

• Sorry Ted but Shanice could give two fücks about you right now. Her auntie Monica just showed up. We love it.

• Anita, you are a shero and you should revel in that. Yes, you could lose what is left of your hair, but you also could not lose it.

• Dani's giddiness over the first-year giving Bill a stroke was hilarious. She is living within this and it is hilarious.

• Not the PTSD of Dani grabbing into her purse; Bill should surely know Dani would not shoot him now. But he should be worried about Hayley's con.

• Not a tissue. 🤣 Dani is petty in the best way possible.

• Oh, Monica is that kind of auntie. I see her and I adore her!

• Yes, Joey. Scare her. Scare Hayley to the point of no return. Please! She deserves it!

• Ashley's bedside manner with Anita is amazing; you can tell how compassionate and warm she is as a nurse. And I am sure it helps Anita feel at ease with this round of chemotherapy.

• Of course Katherine would self-invite herself to move in with Naomi while Jacob is away on his assignment.

• Joey, Joey, Joey... what is it you are up to right now where Randy is concerned?

• Vernon's positivity is infectious and I know it may not always be what Anita wants to hear but it is what she needs to hear, especially when she is receiving chemo.

• Good on Naomi for channelling Vernon for calling out Katherine's bullshït reason(s) for wanting to move out.

• Knowledge is power, Joey. You are absolutely right and you trying to get to the bottom of what is going on feels right.

Notes:

• Bibel and Davis worked exceptionally well today. Both the breakdown and scriptwork were consistent, tight, and consistent (thanks to Susan Dansby).

• Very disappointed that post-production is still cold as Hell. Not as severe as Friday's episode but it is still very apparent and visually seen. It feels like they are not putting the filter on and are showing the raw footage.

• Karla Mosley (Dani) is living in this episode. She knows how to portray her character flawlessly. She is delicious.

• The continued education and realism with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are so nice to see. It is not forced, nor is it some kind of talk piece. It is natural and normal.

The anniversary Easter egg continued with the whole Dani going psycho at Hayley/Bill's wedding last year. It's a shame that Dani doesn't turn a little bit of that blame onto her family for doing the whole toxic 'Dupree family honor' edict and making her go along.

In regards to SPS/Leslie.. a little bit goes a long way. I blame the director for not telling the performer to reign it in a little bit and the writers for not giving the performer anything to play so they have to go broad in their performance to compensate for the lack of variety in the writing.

If I'm correct, didn't Kat tamper with the evidence that she found? If so, that could be a way where people truly know what she did.. but because of a lack of evidence... they can't charge SPS/Leslie with a crime? That's the only way where we could see where everyone truly knows she's guilty.. but can't prove it because of the lack of evidence that is admissible due to Kat's tampering with it.

That way, whatever Joey has on SPS/Leslie will be the main focus and seeing how he chooses to use that evidence.

In regards to a previous comment about Joey not being that keen on women of color, I think he would be down for a hook up with Dani (judging by the banter between the two where they enjoyed the interaction). He has good sense not to go anywhere near SPS/Leslie

I thought she looked familiar. Iona played Fiona on "As the World Turns." It was cool that they had a scene in today's show.

I just watched Wed-Fri. I see a lot of people are done with Dana/Leslie. Yeah, she's a bit much, but I enjoyed her scenes. She had me cracking up.

She is getting close to fast-forward material. She has become very annoying to unbearable.

-- Dr. Monica overstepped with Ted, in my opinion. Jesus, she was like the ridiculous dad who interrogates the high school boy taking out his daughter. Overbearing.

-- Bill gave Hayley MONEY for their anniversary? Yes, the first is paper, but that gift didn't read as thoughtful to me -- it was more like paying a hooker. And then their date takes them to the backroom of the Golden Corral Casino? 😂🤣😂

-- Is Randy the only employee Joey has? He's not only his muscle, but also his card dealer?

-- I don't know, this was just another meh episode for me.

Randy's not a card dealer. I thought it was obvious Joey only had him do this to see him squirm. We've seen other dealers at that casino

The annual preemption for all CBS soaps, NCAA basketball tournament
for March Madness "first round" will be
Thursday March 19 and and Friday March 20.
On those dates, the whole day will be basketball on CBS.
B&B, Y&R, and BTG will be fully preempted those two days.

update on the UEFA Champions League soccer tournament.
In 2022, 2023, and 2025 the "Round of 16"
was on both Paramount Plus AND CBS-broadcast TV, in February and March of those years, and then the quarterfinals and semifinals also in April and May of those years.

Starting in 2025, the Round of 16 was NOT carried by CBS broadcast TV in March.
It was only on Paramount Plus.
And the same is true for Round of 16 in March 2026 -- on PPlus but not CBS-tv. So thankfully no soccer interruptions
for daytime soaps on CBS broadcast TV in March 2026..

No word yet on the soccer quarterfinals and semifinals in April and May.
Last year they were on CBS-broadcast-TV. Unknown yet for this year.

Most women would thought that cash for an anniversary gift was thoughtless, but not Hayley/Roberta/Val.

Shanice's aunt was right to ask Ted questions because the situation could easily get problematic.

Joey's jacket fit horribly and needed to be a few sizes up.

Well, they keep mentioning Joey has bodyguards outside his door at his house at least a la Sonny on GH in the 90s and 00s and...lol.

As somebody who used to work in men's fashion/suits, I can tell the jacket on Jon Lindstrom fits him fine. But because of the fabric and it not being buttoned, it does appear to not fit, but I can tell it does. The one jacket that was too small, in my eyes, was Keith D. Robinson's suit jacket.

So the airport terminal cafeteria has a name -Caffeine Fix.
