Thoughts:

• Insane how things can absolutely change in one year's time, right?

• Andre is at about a level 10. I am going to need him to take it down at a 6 in the morning. I like mornings but not that much.

• Oh, we are finally getting some interaction between Joey and Vernon. This is going to be interesting, especially if Elon helped Vernon set up the meeting to ensure that Joey showed up.

• Katherine still holding onto the grudge against Eva is beyond tired. She should be acting her age, not her shoe size. It is unbecoming.

• It is sweet that Nicole and Ted can celebrate their [former] anniversary in some kind of way. And it shows that they still have some kind of underlying connection, which is still sparking a bit.

• Uh-oh. Tomas, you are about to be in big trouble with Bill about blabbing to Dani about Lynette, but you know Dani loves to make her knowledge known.

• Everyone teaming up on Dani about the intake of carbs is hilarious. Sad but hilarious, because it shows that the modeling industry is still health-conscious. And poor Bill thinking that it should be him and not Andre at that breakfast.

• Joey really thinks reminding Vernon of everything that has happened and he has been involved in just reeks of him thinking he has something over Martin, which he does not.

• Tomas flat-out becoming a gossip is hilarious, but it does seem like Katherine is feeding on it. No surprise.

Notes:

• Starting off May strong with Zimmerman and Brown! So happy the latter stuck around for 2026. Hard to believe there was a time they were potentially exiting as a scriptwriter, which would have been a genuine loss.

• Really happy the lighting continues to be a highlight for production, and I am so happy that the post-production on this soap has really been fixed. It was too green (not as bad as Days of Our Lives was, though) about a year ago, and it finally looks solid and leveled out.

• Why are men sitting down with their jackets buttoned? This has been an ongoing issue with several of the male actors on this soap. I am really going to need someone to talk to them about this.

Whoa so who else did Lynette scam in FC ???????

Wow, it's hard to believe a full year has passed since Leslie blew up that anniversary dinner! And now Nicole is playing multiple men... LOL.

It would be so much better if Vernon was firmer and more threatening toward Joey. There is room for them to all go down if Martin's secret comes out and that is the chess piece that Vernon should be playing.

I like that Naomi is the one that notices Bill's obvious pining over Dani and calls him out for it. The way he was staring at Dani's table while Tomas was trying to talk business was pathetic.

-- I agree with you. It's hard enough for me to accept White Man Joey having so much power and influence over all these Black characters, but giving teeth and bite to Vernon and others would help. Jeez, Vernon had to go through Elon to get a damn meeting with Joey. Ridiculous.

-- Wardrobe on this show is outstanding, but I had to laugh at the fit Andre put on at 6 am, especially that white jacket.

-- So Lynette scammed a lot of wealthy people. Once again, I have a problem with writing these scammers like Lynette and Hayley as broke one day and as having access to a ton of money the next.

-- I have no problem with Kat continuing her grudge against Eva. Eva puts on an act and is consistently performative. I don't see her as sorry for anything she's done -- or that her mother continues to do.

-- Good Nicole and Ted conversation, but I still have a really hard time believing Ted would still be friends with Carlton, let alone best friends.
