These two looking like they are on a date like nothing has changed. They are so getting back together. Ted is slowly getting welcomed back into the family like Bill

Ahh so maybe Martin will be there tomorrow. Interesting changes... I know it's alphabetical for the set, but the characters have nothing to really do with each other except Naomi/Chelsea being sisters (in terms of coupling or most direct relationship). Looking forward to tomorrow's!

Maybe it was entirely MVJ's idea for JL's character to be a mobster. But I cannot help wondering if JL suggested it, as he seems to be really into mobster stories with his novels. Yeah I admit that's a stretch, but still I wonder.

Whatever it was, it's not working.

-- I'm lost. Lynette says Hayley emptied the bank accounts of her 3 previous husbands. Then where is that money? Why can't she pay off Lynette?

-- Bill is so good at connecting the Lynette dots but is still clueless about Hayley. Doesn't make sense.

-- So Bill tears up Tomas' letter of resignation, then treats Tomas like a little bitch when their conversation ends? I don't like Tomas, but GMAB.

-- Dani holds "detestation" for Ted for cheating on Nicole while she constantly throws herself at the feet of (and bumps hips with) the guy who treated her like garbage for their entire marriage.

-- I did not like the way Ted and Nicole talked about Shanice. "Sometimes eggs is just eggs"? Are you kidding me? Hey, Ted, if you think Shanice wants more, tell her you're not ready for that. And Nicole, you say you don't want to have to define a relationship, but you're not 20 years old. Grow up andd stop using people.

-- Vanessa finally has an office! It's the Airport Mall Caffeine Fix Atrium Coffee Shop, but OK.

-- Vanessa's version of what happened on that couples date just shows what a terrible friend she is. It's sad that no one will tell her what a trash whore she is.

Shanice, out of the blue, mentioning a previous relationship where a boyfriend cheated on her with his ex, seemed like either foreshadowing or a red flag, at the very least.

Months ago, I told a few people who were watching the show that, at some point, Ted & Nicole were likely to fall in (in bed, in lust, in love, in...whatever) with each other again and they scoffed at me. I told them "you never really watched daytime soaps before, have you?" We expect couples and characters to go back & forth. I still think half the characters on this show--including Nicole--could have used some time with a psychiatrist. And it still doesn't sit right with me that Leslie s*xually assaulted Ted, you can't claim to be a new type of soap when you pull the same old soap opera tropes. That said, I think that Daphnée and Keith have a natural chemistry, the actors are good friends offscreen and obviously trust each other onscreen. I have never believed that Nicole & Ted were "finished" with each other.

If I were to binge the last few weeks while playing a drinking game for every time Vanessa said that Joey made her feel "alive", I'd be seriously drunk by today's episode.🫨😵‍💫

Like lady we get it. Who is she trying to convince at this point?

Lynette is pulling an Icarus and flying to close to the sun with her scamming. Hayley might end up putting her out of commission or someone else she scammed will do it.

IA. As someone that used to love Ted and Nicole and Nicole as a character, all it took was them interacting today to put me back on board bc the actors have such good chemistry. I hate it for Shanice bc I like her and Ted but yeah its obvious those two still feel something for each other even if they are trying to move on with other people

I would prefer a couple to divorce and.. gasp.. stayed divorced and not reunite. If the show is intending to one day reunited Dani/Bill or Ted/Nicole.. it better be when the show is either canceled, or the actors are leaving the soap. Out of those two couples, I would prefer Ted/Nicole to reunite.

Vanessa is trying to convince herself that Joey makes her feel alive. Let's be honest, Vanessa spits on the whole idea of marriage especially with the way she encourages married women to cheat on their husbands. And I think Vanessa looks down on Bill because they're two peas in a pod.

Ted was such a goofball and a loser for most of last year that I never really went there for him and Nicole. I do think they have a better rapport lately and I'm open to it being played with, but I also really like him and Shanice.

I swear this show is working overtime to make me hate Vanessa even more every week.

This show is damaging the Nicole and Dani characters by making them do forgiving of their exes. I get that it happens, but both sisters???

Today, Dani railed against Ted while we've all seen her kiss up to Bill constantly.

Nicole moves on to TWO men as Nicole 2.0 -- and then flirts with her ex. Are you kidding me with this? She's all over the place.

Meanwhile, Shanice is watered down from who she was and feels interior to the mighty Dupree women. Today Nicole and Ted talked about her as if she's an afterthought.

None of this is fun to watch, at least not for me.

It’s crazy as I really enjoyed Ted and Shanice and Ted was written as totally into her. But now we get sometimes eggs are just eggs when he and Nicole are talking about who they’re dating? Shanice herself being so insecure now is such a turn off considering what made so many of us love her in the first place.
