The biggest problem I have with Tomas is that they have such an easy out for him: kill him off. We've suffered long enough and we know he won't grow as an actor. Plus the Haley story has been dragging it's feet like everything else. It would make sense to off him to continue to prolong that story.

Maybe just maybe, Tomas will catch Hayley, Randy, and Lynette plotting against Bill. As he attempts to leave, the trio will accidentally kill Tomas. This would be the easiest way to get rid of the character, and it would be a good plot twist on how the trio of crooks would get rid of Tomas’ body.

Let's not say accidentally. Let's just kill Tomas.

He already knows too much. Perfect reason for Hayley and Lynette to get rid of him.

The actress that plays Deanna looks like she could be Vanessas daughter and has father's quick temper while Donnell has Vanessa's tortured look mixed with Doug's intensity. Great casting for both.

I love seeing this earlier today. It made me think about Victor/Victoria and Nikki/Nick on Y&R and how their names not only hinted at who they took after, but their personalities used to be mirrors to each other (Victoria as ruthless as her dad while Nick is as emotional/passionate as his mother).

Was it me or was Jennifer Holliday doing some bad lip syncing today? It looked liked some bad anime program that was dubbed into English - where the lips didn’t match the words. I expected better, but it was nice to see Holliday drop in to support Anita.

I haven't watched yet but this doesn't surprise me. She typically sings live with very spontaneous adlibs so I'm not surprised she didn't hit it out of the park if she had to lipsync.

I've been thinking about that too. (And that TPTB have the same opinion as well?)

I would assume so; she just fits that role so well. Plus, is a stronger actor, too.

Every time Anastasia pops up, I’m like, “Ooh, look! It’s budget Jasmine Guy!”

-- The Best part of today's show was the production design in the country club and the wardrobe. Both were excellent.

-- The Jennifer Holliday lip sync was a disaster. That does not work in an intimate setting, especially with that kind of singer.

-- Is Lia supposed to be Cruella de Vil?

-- Jacob is a terrible criminal/ undercover cop. My God, none of it is believable.

-- And meeting up with Naomi AGAIN? They didn't have sex that much before the undercover started.

-- Please spare me with the notion that the Naomi/Jacob sex scene was anything special. It was not.

-- I agree with others that the writing for Nicole is bad. If a guy played two women like that, we'd be screaming.

-- I think it's a big problem that Nicole thinks she needs to change and be different. What happened in her life was because of what TED did, not mistakes she made or could have avoided. She was perfectly fine being the Nicole she was.

-- The Carlton and Ted scenes are pathetic. It is INSANE to me that these two can have bro discussions about dating Nicole. I don't buy any of it.

Honestly it would be a good story if they did kill him and have to cover it up

I'd rather recast and keep the Tomas character around. I think there's a lot he can do and interfere with.

Killing him off? Aside from Kat, who would care? How would that impact story?

It's coming across that Nicole is having a ho phase, which is ridiculous at her big age. That's s--- you do in your 20s, not when you're a grown ass woman of nearly 50.

They have typically overcorrected on Nicole being seen as a too chaste, saintly character last year by letting her take her hair down and have sexy fun. There's nothing wrong with that, except it is now April and Nicole is still bouncing between these guys from week to week, openly setting them against each other and then acting shocked when they decide to compete for her attention. That and the constant mentions of "Nikki" like it's a real thing when it's clearly become an annoying BTS meme are dumb. Nicole needs to have some more reflection on her own behavior.

this! i get it — nicole was the responsible sister. and now, she going through a delayed adolescence. it makes sense, but she does need to own it. the question is when and how annoying will she be between now and then.

1. Opp... Carlton, if I were in your position, I would swiftly retreat and leave Nicole's house, as I strongly suspect that you are currently not in her favour. At all.

Kial and Nicole are luminous, but Carlton is not liking what he is seeing. Perhaps he should have kept his mouth shut, and then he would be the one at brunch!

i’ve never been a fan of carlton. but he was right to call nicole out on her behavior. the double date was a disaster, no surprise, but her reaction was way over the line — particularly regarding vanessa. carlton was on the money when he said nicole was projecting.

Like, I would not be mad if Kial gets involved with someone else on canvas for a minute and Nicole has to win him back. Let Nicole have to work for something as opposed to having another round of Dupree Speeches about how the sun shines out of the ass of Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson.

OMG, I thought the same exact thing about her! She definitely has that vibe. I wish she was a little less cartoony. Leslie, too. It's not necessary to make the villains so over-the-top. Bring it down a couple of notches.

Well, now you all have me hopeful that they're going to kill off Tomas. I'll cry if they don't.

Very much.

I keep saying that given that Tomas has been positioning Kat to marry him to look better to Bill, saw Bill and Dani kiss and told no one, overheard Hayley already, and now he is suspicious of her and Lynette, that it really does feel like the writers have been setting up an exit storyline for Tomas. But then after he overheard Hayley, that plot thread and him knowing about Bill/Dani just abruptly vanished off the canvas too long.
