Over the moon about the renewal news and for 2 more years at that !!!!!!

I don't really care what some viewers elsewhere want or don't want. I do think they should've done a real triangle with the sisters and a viable man already. Tomas is not it, and the Eva/Izaiah relationship has been written terribly bland despite the heat between two attractive actors. Izaiah was supposed to be the roughneck Hawthorne brother and he is written like Archie Andrews. Playing with the Kat option is a no-brainer to me even if it isn't the final story path. Or bring on some other dude. Something has to make Eva and Izaiah heat up at least.

The Kat/Eva fandoms online are a classic soap fanbase scuffle where the fanbases are partly populated by new people who legitimately don't know how daytime soaps work. Keeping the sisters in a love/hate relationship is gold for the show. The problem is it hasn't been properly utilized onscreen in awhile. Izaiah should've gone to work around Kat long ago or with Dani at the agency as was hinted at, and Eva and Kat should've been thrown together in a work environment. These are fundamentals which can pay out for years to come.

Its stupid that Vanessa would even take Lynette as a client. No realter is going to do that if the person cant prove they can afford to pay for the property. She has no pay stubs coming in nor does she have money in her bank account right now. A background check would likely disqualify her anyway

LOL! You did not say Archie.

I do agree Isaiah is a bit tame. When I think bad boy I think Vincent Jones from OLTL or someone in that vein.

When I saw Jamey Giddens name on my screen, I already knew it will be a bad episode. lol

Thoughts:

• Not Dani avoiding entering her tradwife era! Hilarious. But it is enjoyable seeing Andre integrate more into the Dupree family mould.

• Hayley is slapping on the compliments like thick molasses. Hilarious. Her efforts are so excessive that they border on absurdity.

• Vanessa in business mode is wonderful. She is not one to mess with when it comes to her real estate.

• Damn... Lia is scary when she is making demands of Ren. Looks like she really is not the person you want to be on the bad side of.

• Hilarious that Hayley thinks that Nicole's love life is messy when she is simply playing the field, which is allowed.

• Wow... so ChelseaKat is truly going global and international. That is a massively major step for their company.

• Naomi being so uncomfortable with how mushy Andre and Dani can be is hilarious. But you can also sense the disappointment in the idea that Dani and Bill were not reconnecting beyond friendship.

• I appreciate the growth and maturity Martin has gone through in the past nearly thirteen months and that he is now supporting Bradley in his career return.

• The grief for Douglas is still all over Vanessa's face. Hopefully once whatever she is working on against Joey is done, she can fully process his loss.

• I doubt Lynette is gone. That just seemed far too easy to be true.

• Jacob... you are officially in way over your head with this plasma ring! BE SAFE!

Notes:

• Not another writer² day in one week... ugh. This is unfortunate. Thankfully, Brown is a masterful scriptwriter who can turn s**t into gold.

• Barbara Ryan Originals? Spectra knock-offs? Hilarious today! Great use of CBS history.

No way Lynette is dead or gone. That would be such a mistake on the showrunners part squandering the character and actress like that.

Poor Jacob I knew that beat down was coming. Maybe he needed it though to really get his head in the game.

Also stupid is the intense level of anger Vanessa had over the Lynette situation. And then going into a rant about her work as a realtor while she paces around the backroom at the Golden Corral Casino? GMAB
