I was surprised that I liked the "Mia's Prince" movie. Yes, it was predictable. But the actors sold it. It was kind of fizzy and fun; and her green gown at the end was a wowser.

I am actually kind of looking forward to a murder mystery. There hasn't been one in a long time; has there? May it not be the usual kind of depressing "dark" that we have been seeing. And hopefully we will see a different side of Cane. Right now he seems to be the youngest person on the island. Or whatever it is. I would also like to see the butler more often. He has possibilities of being creepily entertaining.

I read an article recently where he was complaining about the hours he was putting in. And saying that Patel seemed to be there (office) 24/7. It bordered on whining. So I wonder if he is using faux outrage over Epstein as a means to get out. We see you.

I am not surprised at this. But how powerful they are? That was then and this is now.

When you think about it, has Lily ever seemed truly attracted to whoever her partner is? Then again, I don't remember most any of her former partners. Cane, Billy, ... who else? I know I must be leaving out others.

But you know he will change his mind and put the tariff on "pause" ... until everyone (he thinks) forgets about it. Every minute of everyday seems to start and end with what Trump has posted, proclaimed, decreed overnight. The cable news networks seem almost regretful when they are forced by circumstances to cover anything or anybody else. It oozes into the local news. It was a constant distraction during the four years he was out of office. Honestly, I worry that at some point, as a country, we will collapse with the weight of it.

Joe...whether you like Newsome or not...he is everything you think you are. In your head. Putin has always taken advantage of Trump.

I am watching "Return to Christmas Creek" on the Hallmark Channel (Live). It is so good! Cast is Steven Weber, the actor whose last name is Huzar; and not sure of the name of the actress; can't recall ever seeing her before. The entire cast is good. Has anyone else seen this?

I would love to know the answer to that, too.

Maybe just me...but the only actor/character Victoria has seemed to "spark" with was Billy Miller. And as attractive as Nate may be, he hasn't seemed to heat up the screen; at least as I remember. Then again, that seems to be the normal for most any couple on this show. But I do think it would be great if they would cast an entirely new actor and match him with Victoria; just to see how it goes. Dear God, please get Nick out of that oily/shiny shirt. And wash his hair - there must be a waterfall around that prison somewhere. And...I cannot believe none of the "hostages" has threatened to sue Cane for imprisonment. I mean really, that is exactly what this is.

Joe, you forget that some of us remember when Newt Gingrich and the newly elected Republican Congress shut down the government. You were a blowhard follower; never the leader.

She could fall in a volcano. Like Skye.

Between the oily bowling shirt, his greasy dripping hair...Nick looks like he should slither instead of walk. He was never a master thespian; but he was pleasant enough. Now all he does is glare and seemingly play pocket pool As bad as this Dumas/Cane storyline is....I don't mind it all that much. It isn't dark. The fake greenery? I have gotten used to it. The claustrophobia of Victor and Nicki being sandwiched in that rail car? It isn't depressing. That is how low the bar is. And that is why I am dreading whatever the Marian story is.

Bankerchick...thank you! I thought it was just me with this actress. I didn't want to come out and say how truly awful I thought she was. Because it seems the only time I visit this board is to complain or rant. Ian Harding? Put this actor in more movies. One of the most "charming" actors that I have seen on this network in quite awhile. And the fact that I liked the guy in the Machu Picchu movie. Both of these guys seem better than the actresses they are paid with. Except I do like Erin Cahill.

Joe's "Conservative" friend who worked in Insurance? Deduced that climate change would increase insurance costs. There is a shocker - not many could figure that out. Give that guy a bonus. Katty Kay .... how much are you getting paid to tell us there are more torrential rains and forest fires. Go back to England and inform them; they must have no idea. Joe blaming Republicans for putting their heads in the sand? Is that how you want to spin this.... re why they did it? Sorry for ranting. What happened this weekend, added to the stress most everyone is living under in these times has made me somewhat unhinged.
