I will say Diane is easily bating Phyllis but Phyllis is falling for it & looks like a psycho in the process. I’m not sure where Phyllis goes from here. She’s gonna be (more) on the outside looking in. I agree matching Michele Stanford’s hair to the orange dress wasn’t a wise choice. Noah & Allie are cute & Zzzzzzzzz! I don’t care Tessa’s throat issues because I have my own issues to deal with. LOL!!! and, finally there is Jack. Peter Bergman has really been neutered in the role of Jack. I hadn’t realized that all those of Jack and Victor feuding that Jack doesn’t have much to do. Heck! I don’t even think Jack has an office set anymore. While he’s been with woman over the years he’s never had the big swooping romance. I think his longest romantic partner has been Phyllis and they never screamed romance to me. Peter Bergman is now 69 so I think his time has passed but he’s still good looking, in shape and could find a nice lady not named Nikki, Phyllis or Diane. Of course, maybe Jack likes being the nervous Nellie.

The wall of cabinet doors won? You’ve got to be kidding me! It was ugly as was the paint color. I think the father & son bedroom was miles ahead better than theirs. The judging this season has been horrible.

Probably just showing up on Jacks front porch looking for help and then having to explain that there son has been alive all along and she never told him. That said, that’s entirely Brad Bell’s fault because he seemingly wrote Ted King out. Anyway, I hope Li gets her ducks in a row and calls Sgt. Baker to tell him (anonymously) where Sheila can be found and then move Finn to another location. Then Sheila will be saying Finn’s alive and everyone will think Sheila is even more crazy than she already is. At least, that’s my bible and storyline.

Robert Newman first aired on February 9th. Which has only been 5 months in the role. I believe he signed a one year contract to see how it went. Although, the show wanted him to sign a two or three year contract from the beginning. I’m assuming the show has plenty more storyline for Ashland & Robert Newman. I agree with an earlier post that I’m assuming Ashland will come back to Genoa City full throttle and not apologize for anything and be who he really is. In theory, he could hookup with Diane or at least make Diane have second thoughts about Jack for the short or long term. There’s always Phyllis but I think even she thought he was a creep from the beginning. I’m curious to see what the show plans For Ashland. Chelsea? He’s 64 and she’s 40. I guess that’s doable. LOL!!!!

With all the spoilers in the world I am absolutely shocked that nothing has leaked. The White House might want to call BB for their secret. Everything appears to be on triple lockdown. Unless, the spoiler world was paid off I’m amazed that a friend of a friend of a spoiler hasn’t gotten the receipts. They really should hand in their spoiler cards. This is a disgrace.

I will say I was surprised by Victoria’s take down of Ashland. I thought yesterday was just a red herring with the hotel card key but she really was ready to bolt and leave him high and dry. That said, I thought she had put the money in the joint account. I guess I was reading the iPad incorrectly. I do think Victoria is too entitled but it’s not like they could have kept her in NYC indefinitely. I’m curious how this plays out for Ashland. I guess he follows her but who is going to give him the time of day? Diane? Unless, Robert Newman’s contract is up and he’s leaving. They had a hard time agreeing to the one year deal and I know he didn’t want to move to California full time anyway. All in all, I thought it was nicely played out but in the end she is still running home unless she’s playing the family, too?!?!

I like the early strategy talks & the competition’s. Although, a lot of them are strength based and men usually win thus shaping the season. Frenchy not withstanding. LOL!!! I don’t like blob alliances & I didn’t care for The Cookout but understood their goal. I’m sure they want another dominate alliance so I’m curious to see what twist will prevent or encourage it. Now, since the show is basically going live from jump we’ll get to see any potential showmances right away. Whether we like it or not. I might watch some of the feeds since after Wednesday there won’t be a new show till Sunday. A lot can happen in that time so I’d like to have some idea what’s going on. Let’s bring on the crazy and the hot people for summer.

They’ll definitely be off the fourth and Friday’s are already pre taped. I doubt they’d come back for 3 shows, if that. Also, Kelly’s new show starts next week and I’m sure she’ll be plugging it somewhere unless all her friends the Andy and the Jimmy are off, too. I am curious if her plugging will have been done in advance. I won’t be watching her new show. Her and Mark’s production company Milojo has a horrible track record and it’s mostly reality tv shows. I’m sure they are paid big money for their ideas but they put out horrible products. Even their All My Children (Pine Valley) reboot didn’t get a green light.

Good point of the arrivals of Sasha & Willow. Nell was wrapping up and they some new young woman. I agree that once Willow got sucked into the Corinthos vortex & she became very, very meek. At least, when it was just her & Chase she was more tolerable. That said, my dvr didn’t tape todays show because it thought it was a rerun. Ugh! Now, I have to watch it on the ABC app & you can’t forward through the commercials.

I could only afford (at most) $300,000 for a house. I’m looking to downsize my house and move soon so I die a little inside when I see someone (or as the wife said, dual income) can afford a 1.2 million home. Yes. I know the grass isn’t always greener on the other side but I’d be willing to find out. LOL!!. I liked the home they picked because I too want one floor living. It had an awesome space above the garage which was basically another house. I knew they were going to pick it since it was a new build. I’m sure the 3 bedroom house will be fine even when the girls get older and do want their own rooms. All in all, not a bad episode. The wife was a little rough but not totally horrible.

I have always thought the actresses who play Willow and Sasha are weak actresses. Although, I thought Sofia Mattson did a good job during the death of Liam. That said, she makes a horrible drug addict. Between her acting and horrible writing I’m so done with her. Katelyn MacMullen as Willow has always been too boring of a character for me and also not the best actress. Obviously, FV likes them since they are still on the show. I think since they basically came on at the same time it was just more noticeable.

I had seen recent pictures of TK and other cast members when they were Monte Carlo (I think) and, he was dressed similarly there and looked great. He was tan, fit and wearing neutral colors. It really suits him. It helps if you’re good looking, too. LOL!!!! I think TK has lost a little weight. I don’t think he was ever heavy but he looks more lean and has always had those pecs. Somehow everything has just come together for him at age 56.

So Willow is pregnant and she’s going to nursing school online, right? How will she manage? LOL!!!! Of course, she either still has an illness or Sasha is gonna go batshit crazy and steal the baby in 9 months. That’s too long a story to tell. So I guess she’ll just take more drugs and Will will get sick and then Carly will have to fess up. Has TJ ever had a scene with old or new Trina? All of the sudden he’s team Trina and I can’t even recall them meeting. Unfortunately, hat head is there. I swear that actors face bugs the heck out of me. I want him gone but I think they actually signed him to a contract because he’s so valuable. Rory was all studding out poolside for Esme. He wasn’t too smooth with the phone trick but he says it’s his master plan. Whatever. Nicholas and Britt had nice scenes. Nicholas Chavez really is a good actor but I don’t see him with nuTrina. It’s such a shame because he Sydney Mikayla really had a good thing going on. I’m very tired of Cody. Which is weird because I was a big fan of Josh Kelly on OLTL. I also don’t see him and Dante being friends back in the day and growing up together. Horrible storyline. The show needs to bring back Lulu (ER or JMB) to get me to feign any interest in Dante and Sam. Sooooo boring! Josh Kelly might need a spray tan and start taking his shirt off more because he looks too dirty and unkept. At least, trim the beard.

There were four guest? Why was Bill there? Does Don Diamont have a episode guarantee and won’t get paid? I didn’t realize Paris and Hope were friends. I liked her wedding dress until I saw the back of it. I wasn’t feeling pink but I guess it’s Paris and she’s supposed to be edgy?! The on location must have been a nice break for Rena Sofer but it was so dumb so I consider it a waste of money. Remember when they went on location in Monte Carlo and they did that slow mo of Eric seeing Quinn in the distance? That was good stuff. The bike not so much. So I guess Donna will move in as Eric’s lover but not wife anytime soon. Has Eric ever slept with Katie? I know he’s been with Beth, Brooke and now Donna…again but how has Katie escaped his clutches?

I didn’t get pregnancy with her dead eyes and pasty makeup. Then I thought it was a dream because she did lay back and close her eyes. Then TJ walked in and was happy. I honestly don’t know what is the truth is. Tune in tomorrow as they say. Also, the reason I didn’t think pregnancy because I thought Willow couldn’t get pregnant. Wasn’t she pregnant before and lost the baby or had some illness that prevented it? Cynthia Watros (and, Kathleen Gati) looked great in her black one piece and colorful cover up. It got me thinking but has Laura Wright ever worn a baiting suit on the show? Her uniform mostly consist of wrap dresses. I mean, I don’t even think she wears a skirt with a jacket. Anyway, it’s no biggie but Laura Wright has an amazing body but she has always seems to prefer to be covered up at all times. I see on her Instagram and she’s always looking beachy. Maybe, it’s an in studio thing where she isn’t as comfortable wearing a bathing suit. I sure wouldn’t with all those lights and a camera a few inches from me. LOL!!!!!

The casting announcement is on triple lockdown. Jeez! This better be a good cast or I might not……who am kidding. I’m still gonna watch but let’s get this shit show started already.

I totally didn’t recognize Jillian Barberie. I remember her on NFL Sunday when she’d do the weather for the games and other tv appearances. Her kids seemed like nice kids. I liked her open concept house but would have held out for a four bedroom with the million or so I don’t have. I forget where in California she bought the house but it’s nice to know you could get a decent looking house for what she paid. I thought everything was 3 or 4 million dollars. It looked like a regular neighborhood which might be why her kids didn’t seem to bratty.

So in another theory someone else who hates Carly already on the canvas or Frank V. hired in the parking lot will own her interest? That’s gonna be a long line of people.

So in theory Olivia will be sole owner?

How is it that Wally Kurth is even better looking now than he was 30 years ago? Okay! Focus. Michael & notDrew are so dumb so I’m glad Ned turned on them. Hopefully, Carly’s insider trading is addressed. I’m guess the writers will gloss over that and delve into the part of Carly losing money rather than how she did it. I was hoping someone would push Willow into the pool but alas Sonny was there to catch her. I will say the writers are really speeding up the Willow needs a liver transplant (working title….LOL!!!!) and, Carly will have to get Nina to spare an extra one. Back in the day this would have been stretched out a year or two. so either Carly admits the truth or she lets someone else find it by chance to remain in the clear. Did I mention Michael is dumb and a tool?! Finally, this Dex/Dax character is not needed. He so in unmemorable (is that a word?) that I can’t even believe he made it through casting. Did Frank find him doing his paper route. Yes! I know people don’t do paper routes anymore but just work me. All in all, I was taking my hair out today but I will definitely be watching tomorrow. This show gives me life.

I will say that John McCook looked more creepy than usual. I guess because he’s 78 years old. LOL!!! I know he’s just acting but today felt more icky than usual. I’m glad Bridget was there to see that her father was in the wrong here along with her Aunt. Ewwwwww! Hopefully, she can stop Carter from marrying Paris & just get on with it him & take Eric to the cleaners.

I think they really gave it to the father & son out of pity. That room was awful and not to mention the ceiling fan was a safety hazard. Their work is always so sloppy looking. None of the rooms were that good. I guess I would have given it to Allison. Although, it needed artwork on the blank wall. Next week will be a true test and a much bigger project.

That last week has always been a killer. I don’t even think the Final HG like it either. I’ve never understood why they stretch it to the last week. It’s so boring and by then people are spent. Just end it a week or even two early. I’m looking forward to next week to finally get some casting rumors. Confirmed and Unconfirmed. LOL!!!!

They really like black/gray exteriors and interiors. I don’t do the mountains so I don’t know if that’s on trend or not. Overall. The place looked great but I don’t do yoga & I doubt anyone I know would do on vacation either. I think we’d be on the deck partying day & night. LOL!!!

Actually, he won with his reel about how lonely Eric was living in an empty house. It was a great scene with him and Thornton Kaye.
