I think I'm already shipping Ashley and Andre together even though they aren't even a couple yet I can't help it and I'm definitely shipping Anita & Vernon of course 💓

I believe the photographer's name is Andre. And here's my thought below on the first episode....I'm just going to copy & paste them on here: I loved this first episode, what an incredible start! Just as I suspected I love Anita so far she’s my top favorite character and Tamara is of course amazing as usual and giving it her all to this role like I knew she would! I can’t wait to see more Anita and about her past. This role fits her! They were right this character and role was made for her and I can’t imagine anyone else playing Anita ❤️ I’m also so glad Tamara’s front and center in this soap opera this time around because it gives her room to really shine! Husband Vernon is great so far! Love him and I love Anita & Vernon as a couple so far as well. Dani I agree with a few others on here that she’s going to be a trouble maker which I don’t know if I’ll like or not, but we’ll see Bill is a jerk for cheating and Hayley deserved that slap from Dani for sure. I really like Vanessa so far as well. I like Ashley she and…Andre I think it is have chemistry with each other at the hospital even though I know she’s married to Derek, but Andre was flirting with her so I agree with a few others that they may have an affair, but who knows this is soap land so anything could happen. I think it’s going to take me a bit to get down everyone’s names and whose who at least with the supporting cast anyway, but I’m mainly here for Tamara so I’m mostly going be to discussing Anita full force with a sprinkling some of the others of course that I start to like or will like as the show goes on, but Anita’s character will be number one discussion for me.

Finally can watch Any Day Now again as I have Start TV now so I'm excited because they have all of the episodes and I'm also recording them. 💓☺️

I finally have Start TV and I get to watch Strong Medicine again, but I'm disappointed though because they only will air some of the episodes and there's some missing on the Start TV's episode list and they all seem to be from The Roku Channel. 😭

New Promo! 💓 I'm getting more and more excited!

Good news all of the episodes of Strong Medicine are now uploaded on Dailymotion with the exception of one epiosde season 5's Cinderalla In Scrubs, but that one is on Roku. Here's the link: Strong Medicine Episodes (scroll down to the bottom for the episodes)

Beyond The Gates is ready to showcase ‘different side’ of the Black experience

From what I've seen and read I guess it was supposed to premiere sometime in January, but got pushed back for some reason.

I'm so excited for this new soap as I'm here for Tamara Tunie!! She's an amazing actress and I've missed her on the soaps(and TV in general) and I was especially excited when I found that Beyond The Gates is produced by the same company that did ATWT (As The World Turns) to which Tamara had been on for years. That said her character sounds very interesting! And here's some news for the show it will be premiering February 24th, 2025 on CBS at 2pm (ET)

It’s so hard writing for myself honestly when I know the few people who seem to love my couple (Gemma/Nero) doesn’t write for them at all and doesn’t at least to me feel like they love the couple as much as I do and I have really nothing to inspire me to write more or nothing much to really drawl off of. Sometimes it’s like why even bother writing anymore. 😭 On that note I did write and post up a new one shot today I wrote for Gemma/Nero which will most likely be my last one for them in terms of one shots for real, but no comments at all....figures it's so frustating and disappointing 😭

Yeah Sons has been off the air officially for almost 10 years now(December of this year It'll be 10 years, it ended in 2014) and it's been off TV for like 2 years I think maybe 3 max and I think a lot of the fandom doesn't seem to have the DVD's either that or they've forgotten about a lot of what happened and a lot of spaces for the show aren't as active as they once were either, but I don't really go into a lot of the discussion spaces because of the Gemma hate and more personal issues that I won't get into on here. That all said I realize Sons isn't exactly a romantic type of show, but I can't help that I got into the couple I did (Gemma/Nero) and that they are a rare pairing (I really wish they weren't) just for the simple of the hate they get in the fandom it just sucks for me because I'm the only that seems to love them so much and is trying to keep them alive especially now. I got into Sons about 5 years after it went off the air so that didn't help any honestly, but the hate for Gemma herself is still so strong that I'm still shocked by it and I have to admit the hate for Gemma/Nero I'll never understand because they are and were a beautiful and great couple that had everything in their relationship, communication, love, stability, passion and mad real chemistry it was so real to me that I forgot they were just acting and it's rare to get that type of chemistry and passion from a TV couple like that in my experience. The only good thing I guess for Gemma/Nero is that they became canon, but it also wasn't fast enough for me and once they did well they were doomed from then on although even before that they had too much stacked them so in reality from the begining of their relationship to the end (I'll never believe they broke up though I meant the end of the show) They are my top couple I ship/love and I think out of all of the couples I love/ship and I have a lot of them Gemma/Nero have had it the worst.

You aren't kidding about that and not only that it's even worse when the couple you love is hated in the fandom and by the majority and that's my other problem with my top rare pair couple I love so much.

Yeah I watched for them and still do. They are a strong couple they've been through a lot in canon, but they also are treated quite good, but it probably helps that both actors who play them are basically executive producers on the show so I think they have a bit of says in what their characters do and stuff like that. I'm not saying they don't have any issues in their relationship, they do, but they definitely aren't Gemma/Nero who got treated like total dirt where as Bobby & Athena were basically a first couple (they were paired together in s1 and went on from there) so with them it's...better and they are more popular especially in fanfics at first they weren't, but over the years they've slowly gotten to that point honestly I can't help, but be jealous and wanted that type of thing for Gemma/Nero because they got the opposite in everyway sadly and unfortunately. It's really shocking and amazing just how different couples can be on shows/in canon and how different of treatment they can get.

The fandom is 9-1-1 and the couple is Bobby & Athena As for the second things yeah that's exactly right...

I don't know if I'll ever feel comfortable reading fics on them becuase they have it all in canon- got married, have fun, go on vacations, and they have their own family together and so on.. This is my problem along with my other show being off the air although the fandom itself isn't dead especially in fanfics, but my couple itself is basically dead and really always has been although like I've said I'm writing them, but it's not easy shipping/love rare pairs all the time that's all I've gotta say.
