Welcome back for another episode of Lather Up with La. And Chanelle. How you doing, Queen? This has been an interesting week for me, but I will commend the soaps for making me enjoy it. How have you? Again, interesting. I enjoyed some of the soaps, I'll say. So let's hop right into it. This week on Beyond the Gates.

Apparently the missing ingredient to take down Mr. Bill Hamilton with this Hayley's drugging him to death scenario is circulation. Let's make sure that he's moving and grooving and it'll work quicker because every time he takes a sip of something that Hayley brings him, he is falling, he's getting dizzy, the hands are shaking. It is working.

so much better in the last two to three weeks. And she is literally counting down the days when she can put this man in the ground At this point I just need them to either wrap it up quickly or to get a reveal. I I need to make sure that Bill is in on the joke or as concerned as we are. We've already wasted, I'll say two seasons now now that we know that they've wrapped season two, but

Right now it's been over a year that we've wasted with him being poisoned and knowing that Hayley does not love him, and even as a trophy wife and homewrecker she is a grifter. Now I need to see it where they start putting the pieces together, whether it be with her and Lynette, whether it be with her as a con artist with Randy, whether it be with her in general. Like, is Hayley really her real name? We know she goes by many aliases.

I I want a little bit more of the backstory, but I need some sort of PI or someone to just kind of wave a flag and be like, this don't look right. I also need intelligence to kick in for Bill. Every time you have a beverage given to you by your wife, you start not feeling great. Why has it not registered to you that the smoothie, the coffee,

The electrolyte booster, you start having symptoms. I need him sooner rather than later, catch on to this and go hide one of the drinks that she gives you. Be like, hey, thank you. Put it to the side, take it to Madison. Why don't you test this? Screw testing me. Because every time he tests me, you can't find nothing. Test this beverage. Take it to the lab. Give it to Grayson. Have him check it under a microscope.

And see what comes up because when I drink coffee that I've poured myself at work. When I buy a soda, when I pour a glass of water, I drink it and I live my life. But when she brings me something I start shimmying and shaking. I can't believe he hasn't caught that yet. And it's annoying me.

Well, with this movement, I feel like we'll get more of a scenario where Bill something comes to fruition. Either that or he's gonna continue passing out, shaking. Even with his day-to-day life, people are starting to notice. And when you can't hide it any longer, hopefully that enacts him to make some changes, call out some questionable behaviors, I don't know, come to a realization that Hayley is not here for him. Sometimes he feels like he loves her, sometimes he feels annoyed by her.

It also is going to help the fact that Smitty and Jacob are honing in on the Lynette situation. So Smitty has determined through his sources that Lia and Lynette had a partnership sort of. We know as viewers that it was because Lynette pulled the okie doke on Lia and took all her money. That's why Lia got into the

plasma business in the first place. An effective scammer, if you will. Yes. but I have to question the grifter technique because Hayley is not keeping the lie straight. You're telling one person that you didn't know Lynette until after the so called mugging that Lynette organized to have you beat up. And then you're telling other people

That she's always been a friend. Then you're telling another person, I hope Lia didn't kill her. And then you're telling other people, good riddance to her. I'm glad she's gone. You have to tell the same lie to everybody because the Duprees who are married to the Hamiltons, who are married to Smitty, they're all talking. And they're taking notes and they're like, this doesn't match at all what she told me. And she seems to think that she's gotten away with it.

She really does. And it goes back to even with season one. I'm still mad we never dug deeper into the fact that Sammy, the good Samaritan, is Randy. Right. And Vanessa just casually was like, that's Randy. That's Doug's like one of his oldest and dearest friends. Right. Sammy, who's Sammy? And it's like we just kind of let that pop in the air, marinate, but never went anywhere with it. And even with Randy, I feel like he might be the one who starts revealing because him and Mona.

Getting no closer now. They are, but Mona is like, Double Dutching. Like she in and then she ain't. Then she in and then she ain't. It's hard being a good Christian woman. Because she is attracted to Randy. I don't care what she says. But she is turned off by what he does for a living. Life of crime and sinning. I will pray for you. And maybe you feel heavy in your heart what you're doing. And he's like, Because he was like, I'm sure you noticed that I wasn't in church. He was like, I could care less.

But yes, you have not been to church. I was like, just accept the fact that you're attracted to him because he's a bad boy. But you can't allow your good Christian values to be sullied by this man. Temptation. Yes. Yes. Temptation. Fighting. I love that. Yes. So that kills me. But he's sticking up for it even with Hayley! Hayley was like, why are you this thirsty so and so? Don't you talk about her? Don't you ever talk about Miss Mona.

I was like, wow. Even Hayley was like, how we get wait. It's like I can be redeemed. I said, okay, biblical. She was like and she's like, no, you can't. Unless you're gonna stop working for Joey and stop working with me and you don't want your cut. You cannot be redeemed. He was like, I do need that cut though. So he thought about it. He's like, I'm gonna Pay on it now. Pray on it later. Ooh, I like that. Look, and also speaking of redeemed, I don't like how they're doing my girl Kat.

No. Especially now that we we thought that we had crossed a hurdle, if you will, with her relationship with Eva. She let it slide. She gave the liver. And two steps forward, five steps back, when it comes to Chelsea and Eva doing a live stream, giving the opportunity to talk about what happened to her in the organ donation, the things that Kat said that she was okay with. But even

Bill knows that she is similar to her Aunt Dani, and she was not okay. She was lying, and it hurt her heart seeing Chelsea and Eva laughing and kekeeing Look, emotions and being a shoulder to lean on. And they did as asked. They didn't include her in the live stream, didn't use the fake name. And the goal was to try to educate people of color that they're being.

available for donations is an important thing because as we learned in the PSA, after school special segment of the soap opera that there is more need for people of color to donate than there is those who are donating. So consider it. And then even Eva was like when I thought of donating I thought of the Tuskegee experiment. I thought of

you know, Henrietta Lacks and how they utilized her body and I don't want to be used for spare parts. Yes. And I'm sure a lot of people have that mentality, especially older people, because they, you know, grew up around that time. So that was the goal of the live stream. But all Kat saw was Chelsea hugging on home girl Eva when she was actually feeling,

grateful of what Kat did and how scared she was that she was gonna die. Kat was like, it's bad enough. She's tricked my father into giving a damn about her. Aunt Dani now gives a damn about her. And all these people, I thought you would be the one that would see through her BS. And lo and behold on live stream, you hold it on to her. I've had it. And it's like, why? Why can't you just live and let live?

You did a magnanimous thing by saving this girl who you cannot stand's life. Can't you bask in that and if Chelsea wants to do this, let her do it. That way, like she wanted, Kat was like, I wish somebody else could have stepped up. Maybe if they follow Chelsea, somebody else will next time and you won't have to give another piece. That is a good point. And I feel like now that was the only thing they could probably give Kat because Tomas is

Off in Puerto Rico. And I was like, we we have to go back to this. You know, I rocks with Kat for a lot of things, but I'm like, you're doing too much. I would rather her be working with Smitty and Jacob to try to figure out the Lia Lynette connection. Bring Katlock back. Yeah. Try to take down Leslie again. Yeah, she's good at detectiving. Why have her be mad again? mad Kat is not necessary Kat. Detective Kat, Katlock, I'm here for that one.

one person I was happy to see this week was a blast from the past. Heather. She was supposed to be across the pond, but Smitty is causing her problems. And so literally she came back.

Talk to her brother. He's like, What you doing here? I got to kill Smitty. He was like, Whoa. Yeah, this Bradley Smith. Wait a minute. Asking too many questions. Right. She was like, even my source in the FBI says they may start looking into this. My plasma ring that has been so profitable. So I'ma kill him. And Joey's like, You can't do that. I need his husband. And she's like, I got you covered, bro. What better way to bring in the votes?

To get him re-elected than by killing his spouse. Everybody loves a widower. And I'm like, she is a hard girl. I at this point will rock with Heather, aka the impaler. You know how I feel about a woman in a male-dominated industry. Yep. And this is like the part where it's like Heather is the juxtaposition of what Joey is. Joey is considered the bad boy of the DMV, and he's supposed to be this bad guy.

He likes his casino. He likes having favors he knight, you know, can use. Heather came back from London to be like, gotta kill him. Gotta kill him. you don't want me to kill him? you wanna use this congressman? Well then you gotta help me stop him. Because if not, I'm gonna kill him. She is the dangerous one now, and he is softened, and I blame Vanessa.

you're his sister. is true. And I look forward to what the previews are showing of the interaction between Heather and Vanessa because she doesn't come in with a hi, I'm Heather, Joey's sister. No, she l she is giving off. I'm the other you didn't think you were the only woman in his life, did you? I'm sorry, what? It's one thing to say that, but when she was like, I I've known him for years. I've slept in his bed. I'm not a casino worker, I'm I'm not a sex worker. She was like, just tell him.

goodness gracious. Now, other new family member we met this past week would be Dr. Kial's son. Unexpected. Random. Hobosexual.

Deanna has to help him because he goes to the diner, which I'm pretty sure is not that expensive and cannot pay his bill. And June, former unhomed, is like, you better come up with something. This car was declined. You ain't got no cash on you? We gotta you better do something. And he's like, I'm go to the I'll let me run to the bank real quick, which is hilarious because if you don't have any money on your debit card, what's the bank gonna do?

They don't give out loans like that. And it's like, look, use your dad's card because June was like, this is not coming out of my check. Right. Nice try. Correct. So Deanna overhears this, offers to pay for it. They apparently give each other the I, and he knows instantly that she has lost a parent. And she's like, how do you know, you know, my dad's no longer with us? And he's like, I know the look, because I lost my mama. And that's how we determined as viewers who we was.

'Cause he didn't say his name and I didn't remember Kial's children's names. but h she pays it. he was like, I'll give you the money back. Just give me your phone number. She's like, I don't trust you're gonna call. I'll take your phone number and I'll contact you and but she didn't even get a name, which is just bizarre. Yeah. And the fact that he didn't have his phone charge. I know adulting is hard. But come on.

I think he struck out 'cause it was like strike one, your your credit cards decline, strike two, phones not charge, strike three. That's a lot of questions. I think his name is Noah. I it might be. I think so. So he comes to the hospital. He goes to the hospital after Deanna tells him where it is. 'Cause she that's how they that's how he figured out that her father had died. 'Cause she was like, I used to spend many hours there with my father. And he's like, he dead, right?

I was like, dang. So he goes over, he runs into Nicole, who was like, you're Kial's son. Let me take you to him. Goes to the office. Kial fusses him out. How many times I gotta tell you, you're only here not because you wanna see your father, but because you out of money, aren't you? Again, he was like, The only way you're gonna get a dime is if you apply at Leslie's clinic. He was like, I gotta get the job, right? I can just apply. I was like, that's not

I would have been like, no, you got to get the job. Steady income, my guys. Look, you can do your music thing on the side here in the DMV. We have plenty of opportunities. You can go to Uptown open mic night or something. So he is apparently going to stay in town for a minute because he needs money. So that was a new character that it would would introduce to us. look, one who wasn't introduced but has our spidey senses tingling.

Whoever sent Dani and Andre yes, the belated wedding gift. Yeah, that that was something. So there was a box left on their doorstep and Andre brought it in and Dani is like, Ooh, a gift. He's like, I didn't get it. It was here when I came to the door. So they open it and it's apparently some super duper fancy, expensive champagne.

And apparently it's so good, like delicious. But when Dani pours a glass, she goes to pour one for Andre. He's it's a little early for that, right? And she's like, brunch? orange juice, what's the problem? Mimosas, whatever. And he's like, I really don't wanna. She just kept harping on it, so he finally drank some and he s looks uncomfortable doing it, and then Vanessa comes over and

Andre's like, I got a appointment with Diego for golfing lessons, so I'ma roll out. But when Chelsea and Eva did their live stream, they did it at the diner. And who shows up in the background? Andre. And Vanessa and Dani sees him and when you cheat, you are suspicious of everybody. And because she had her little

affair in the elevator with Bill, she's convinced he lied to me. What else is he lying about? Who is he seeing? And Vanessa has to talk her down. She's like, girl, what's the problem? Like calm down. He's not Bill. He's not looking for ways to keep you off track while he cheats on you. He doesn't do that. And she's like, maybe he should. I deserve it. And Vanessa's like, you made a mistake. If anybody know about making mistakes?

with other people is Vanessa. So she's like, You made a mistake, you're not gonna do it again. Stop punishing yourself. You got him, you're with him, you feel horrible about it. Don't torture yourself, just move on. Although she did interrogate him and he had apparently claimed that he bypassed the lesson and went straight to the diner to get them some red velvet cake. And

I guess she feels bad about it and she tongues him down and he's like, What was that for? And she's like, I just I got my sweetness right here. And that's the guilt kissing. It really is. And doesn't help that Bill already started the week talking about, we're gonna do this again. You still you still think about me. You still want me. It's okay. It's gonna happen again. It's so crazy to me. Like one minute he's kissing all over Hayley, the next minute he's telling.

Dani that he wants her back. Like, how are you doing both? He's managed this before, but I think it goes with her and kind of like Edgar Allan Poe and the Telltale Heart, where every time something happens, she's like, Someone's cheating. they're gonna they're gonna find me out. The best example was Miss Anita called her over to the house because of the whole BRCA gene thing. Everybody in the family knows because here you have Nicole just being like, you know.

Miss Anita, she likes to make sure her whole family, everyone's doing well. And we had Nicole saying, well, and then she's like, What? What what what are you telling me? And this is older sister code so much. Dr. Nicole was like, Well, it's not my story to tell, but maybe, maybe Dani will tell you. Of course, you leave, you say your kisses and goodbyes. You're like, mm-mm. Get her on the phone. Get suspicious, very suspicious. So she comes in the door and they're like, Do you have something to tell us? And she's like,

Bill, I mean, I it's it's not what you think. We're not together. I don't think about him. And they're like, whoa whoa. Ain't nobody say nothing about Bill. We we were just asking, was there something you had to tell? She was like, Naomi. Naomi, look, the BRCA gene, she has it. What? And I'm like, again, Naomi was waiting for her moment to tell the grands. So the way that that played out, but I'm like, ma'am, if you can't keep it together.

You're gonna get caught some way. And then the fact that they layered it on by saying, we know you would never. I mean, you've fallen and done some messed up things, but the funniest thing is everybody keeps saying that. You would never I did I know better. I'm like She really did. She did it bad. Wants to do it again, but won't. But of course I got a little misty when

Miss Anita blames herself because now my granddaughter has it, my daughter has it. I did this, and I hate to hear her and Dani blame themselves. It's just a genetic thing, unfortunately. But it is not a death sentence. Yes, Miss Anita had cancer, but it doesn't guarantee that her daughter or granddaughter are gonna get it. if anything, knowledge is power. At least you know now you have it. And of course.

Dani tries to get her mother to tell Naomi the possibility of a double mastectomy is a bad idea. And she's like, I'm not gonna stop her. If that's what she thinks she needs to do, that's what she has to do. We just have to support her. And Dani was a little livid. She's like, I thought mom was gonna bring down the hammer, and instead she's like, I'm co signing if that's what she wants to do. Her body, her choice. Yeah, so. But yeah.

Dani can't hold it together. And and that's similar to not being able to hold together Isaiah with Chief Hawthorne, where it's like he has to first lie to get him to OrpheyGene's Everybody was at Orphey Gene's this week. It was popping. It was popping. And then it's like to have lunch, and then it's like, okay, you know, I just wanna be here. Well, why are you acting like this, Daddy? You mean just because I'm, you know, used to be

Back the black sheep of the family. He's like, The only person calling you that is you. I'm trying to get to know you some like I how's a Eva doing? Do you even care? I'm like, goodness. Okay, sir. Like, why I again the anger that's misplaced. I know that your father did you wrong back in the day. We still don't really know. Do you really have a job at Banneker? You say it. I need to see it. One student. Just one student. Hey, professor. Like, you know, something.

But it's it's the fact that they're trying and and I give them credit for at least laying the groundwork for a possible reconciliation. But it's good to see him outside of Eva, aka his woman, doing some other things. Because I'm like, sir, we've seen you spend a lot of time in her apartment. Where's yours? Agreed. I know she's been asked not to do a lot of traveling, but unless you live

Far, far away. I'm presuming you're in the DMV somewhere. Why are you never taking her over to your house? Even before the surgery, you never took her over to your house. Where do you live, sir? Questions. So many questions. We better get answered soon. Yes. Speaking of questions, let's move on to General Hospital in Port Charles. Many a questions. Particularly those last few minutes of the episode here in the US.

On Friday with Nina pushing Drew into the pond. And the wheelchair. Everything had to go over the fire sale. Yes. So it turns out that Brennan, who's been looking for that black box for almost two weeks now, can't find it. It was later revealed to him that Valentin has it. But before that, he calls Willow, and is like, girl, I can't find it. Which means I can't give you the

drug that you need to keep Drew trapped in his body. So I'll arrange for you to be able to take your kids on the run, Congresswoman. And you gotta get it ready tonight 'cause y'all leaving in the morning. So Willow calls Nina, and is like, Mom, we are in trouble. There's no more of the drug. Soon Drew will be able to speak. and he's gonna tell

All the bad stuff I've done. I'm not gonna end up in Pentonville without my children, so I'm gonna go on the run. You can even come with us. But that's what the deal is right now. And Nina panics, and it doesn't help that Drew starts talking. Drew sees her stressed, she undoes the brakes for his wheelchair, and he goes, having a bad day. Sir, you just gonna keep quiet could you?

I was like, you could have had this if you had just waited a little longer and Nina is like, Mine is bad, yours is worse.

And chucks him over the the Quartermaine dock into the lake. And again, my whole thing was, Drew, if you were building up the energy to say this, we just left the situation where not only Scout was there, Alexis was there, Michael was there. Hell, Danny, Jason, and even Rocco were there. This is the time one-on-one, you decide to speak. When you have nobody to help you. Because everybody had left. They were all there.

Because Scout is doing this charity swim where she has to swim for 45 minutes or less to get this money for the charity. And so she wanted to practice. And in practicing, she wanted her former Navy SEAL father to watch her and see that what he taught her paid off. And she just wants him more available in her life, even though he can't speak or move. Paralyzed. And they brought him.

And he got to watch and he did his blinks and Scout was over the moon. But then Scout had to go somewhere and everybody left. And it was just Nina and him because Willow even had to leave to go talk to the WSB for something. And so she was like, I got a meeting, so I gotta go. Can you take Drew home? And now he's in what looks like a watery grave. And I all I can think of, how you gonna explain this? It was a level dock. There was no slant.

There was no hill. He can't move his wheelchair. How are you gonna explain that he just automatically ended up in the water?

To see how she gets out of this, especially with the yell Drew. Yes, like she's like, How did the, you know, like, my gosh, he ran away from me. He can't. Remember? Because he can't move, supposedly. Now, mind you, we've seen him moving his hands, we've seen him speak, but he's not gonna doggy paddle out of this one. No, I don't know, unless he's really more agile than we realize. All I've seen is one hand. Slope, my guy, float! Yes, and until he does that, quarterbanes, Tracy.

Need security camera, especially on this dock because stuff is popping up. So much happens on this dock. camera that has crystal clear visuals and audio at this point. Because yeah, every time I turn around, somebody almost dying or getting shot at or so much is happening on this dock. Too much. Also, we believe that Trina has a stalker, but we don't know who it is.

And both Chanelle and I say that the guy who's trying to rekindle a friendship with Kai, I don't remember him. And I definitely don't remember I don't remember him. And I don't remember him having an issue with Trina. So the fact that they're put it in the story, like, y'all remember so-and-so. He and Trina didn't get along because apparently he blamed Trina for Kai getting hurt. And I'm like, how is that possible when he did that on the football field? They didn't have nothing to do with

Her. But he's back in Kai's life. Football season is over. I don't know if he just doesn't play anymore or if he's on break. But he wish he misses Kai and he wants to be back on a friendly level with him, even if it means apologizing to Trina. And when Trina came from getting her great news that her and Gio will be doing their first record because they signed a record deal. As a duo. As a duo, but there was an attempt.

by the record exec to make them a singular act because he saw footage of Gio from the Nurses Ball last year. It was like, You good Solo acts can be big things. And Gio was like, No, I agreed to a duo. I want to be with Trina and if I can't be with Trina, then I don't want to do it. And Brooklyn was like, I'm sorry, they either together or you don't get

And the guy was like, okay, we'll take them together. And then he got on a phone call and was like, Yeah, they wouldn't take the separate deal. But we will keep them as a duo. And the focus is Trina. And then you see this collage of all these pictures of her that has been taken and taped up like Okay, but let's talk about the one picture that caught your eye. There's a picture of her in the red riding hood outfit that she wore on Halloween with

The Love of Her Life, Spencer Cassadine And that's who I think the stalker is. Not a stalker, but he's been keeping an eye on her while he recovers from whatever happened after he got thrown off the boat a year ago or two years ago. And he's not ready to see her yet. And he doesn't want to disrupt her life, but he wants to keep an eye on her. That's who I think it is. I don't think it's the random guy because as Chanelle pointed out.

I don't think he has the finances to get a record executive to offer her a deal. But a Casadine does. So I'm hoping and putting into the universe that General Hospital has come to its senses. I'm not saying you gotta give me the same guy. I like Nicholas Alexander Chavez, but if he's too big and bad to be part of the soap opera world anymore, be that. Just find me a

Good looking Spencer who can come back and sweep my girl off her feet like she deserves. She deserves to be with Spencer. Kai is a nice guy, but he ain't Mr. Cassadine. We were robbed. Sprina fans were robbed. Bring him back. From one Cassadine to another. Valentin. Valentin had a week. I feel like he's winning. Right now he is.

Yep. Except in basketball. He still needs to work on that. But not only does he have Jack's black box. Yes. Or I should say Brennan. Because he likes to go by last name. right, right, right. You agent. But not only he has the black box, but then you have Brick. Of all people, you know how I feel about Brick. Similar to Randy on Beyond the Gates. I can't stand Brick. But I'll at least give him credit. He does more than Randy and

Does it this time? He gets the job done, but he gotta be so cocky with it. And he came at Valentin on the basketball court, looking like he just stepped out of the yard with the khakis in the arms. I'll give Stephen A. Smith one prop. I'm like, somebody been working out in gym, just showing off the guns. Okay, if you say so. But it was a a thinly veiled threat, if you will. Like you need to take yourself and go. Yeah, you're you're free. Why?

Stuck around here, especially with my girl Carly. Yes. What's going on? He was not phased at all. He ain't leaving his daughter, he ain't leaving his woman. Sure was not. And even Brick getting Carly flowers, she's like, You're here. Okay, so what's Sonny trying to do? He was like, Look, we're worried about you. I'ma find you some information on Valentin. Because just because charges are clear, doesn't mean that another three-letter agency.

wouldn't be looking for him anytime soon. And he gave her a zip drive with some just in case info. And she kept it. Which means if he pisses her off in any way, shape, or form, that zip drive that she put in the drawer in the kitchen could make a reappearance. Yeah, and my thing is I still wanna see it because she told him, she's like, well, you know, he's found some information on anything you'd like to tell me automatically? Like

Been doing his dealings quite some time. Like he's been a criminal for a minute. It's like, what are you expecting here? Yes. That you don't already know or haven't read about. Yeah. Yeah. But again, their relationship is still going steady and he quelled those fears about him and Anna for her. So it's like, okay. However, someone I didn't think would come to his side but has in her own way was Lulu.

She was backed into a corner. Stop fighting it. You might as well. Welcome to the dark side. And Dante told Elizabeth a week ago, I would be happy if Charlotte was no longer as much a part of Rocco's life. She's a bad influence. That's not a good person. So when Lulu was like coming to Dante trying to get support, he's like, would it be the worst thing if she lived with her daddy? Cause it's like she told you that's where she wants to be. Yeah, I mean.

You're only gonna make her pull away more if you keep her away from him. And she's like, What? Really? He's like, I'm just here for you, girl. And you know, he hugs her and you l look at the side like, get this girl out of my house. Yes. And so she goes over to Carly's and it's like, I've decided to let Charlotte pick who she wants to live with, which most likely is gonna be you. And Valentin is shocked, as is Carly. But the stipulations were

You have to get a home home. You can't stay in a hotel and you can't stay with Carly. Which seems silly to me, 'cause I'm like, I'd rather you stay with Carly because before she left, she was like, Carly, if you see any signs that Valentin is putting my daughter in danger, you need to tell me immediately. I'm like, what better way for her to be able to see that if they lived in the same house? But you do you girl. So now he gotta look for a house. I remember he went to Spoon Island.

Yeah. Because he wanted to possibly move back in there. So that may be where they ended up. Yeah, and he did ask Alexis, he's like, how can we figure out way to unfreeze my assets and the accounts and all that? So I think they're gonna be living on Spoon Island, which is the most dangerous place. Sage it. Yikes. Sage it. Holywater. Yes. Still gonna have evil running through it though. Always does. Ugh I'm trying to think the other stuff, Britt. It's it's weird. I it's like, do I feel do I care?

When it comes to her, at least getting her job back, yay. But you got your job back. It was already messing up the next day. Next day. She had a meeting with Stella and head nurse Elizabeth. Why it wasn't board members, board board members, I don't understand, like Tracy or somebody, but whatever. And they were like, We are concerned because you've disappeared twice, and of course she's like, I was in danger and I thought I was dying. And they're like, Whatever.

We have concerns about trusting you in this position. So we are going to give you a, probationary period. You have to work weekends, you have to work holidays, your time is no longer yours. And you have to be the equipment manager on the softball team. I was like, Really? But okay. I was like, really? So she's already complaining by the end of the day, I gotta work every weekend? Stella's like, or you can go to the elevator. So what you gonna do? Either way.

And what happens the next day she gets called by the WSB, and instead of contacting Elizabeth or anybody at the hospital to let them know she's gonna be late, she just doesn't show up until later. And of course Elizabeth's like, I already talked to Stella at Human Resources, so you gotta explain yourself. She's like, Why? I couldn't wait. I probably know, ma'am. And Lucas was like, This ain't eighth grade, girl. You need to take responsibilities. Ugh. Britt. She's so ridiculous. But you also have

Anna and I guess I have to say Peter I don't like this. I don't understand why we had to bring Ghost Peter into this. He was not needed. And and now it's one of those things where I don't like the fact that you're still making her the Anna that she was, as in solving and figuring out stuff like a commissioner should. And then the next minute she having conversations with the ghosts. Yes. The apparition. And what is his purpose? Is it to

Avenge him or to avenge herself. I don't know who she's going after. I think it's Britt, but I can't understand what she's gonna get out of killing that girl. Yeah, like Peter like, My brother and my sister, I'm like, so Pacassius is dead to them because we know he's still alive and well with the WSB. Right, right. And then with Britt, it's like, well, she was lower on the totem pole than Anna's making her out to be because she thought she was dying. She was gonna do anything.

And she still ain't got nothing. she barely got money coming in. I don't know where she's staying. Maybe she'll get a place back now that the new doctor gave it up. He said it wasn't quite up to odds for him. I mean, Australia has better probably hotel standards and greasy diner, he was not expecting. But did you not read the information - didn't seem like that bad. He's like, ooh. He's like, I'm trying to save money, not trying to save that much money.

I can splurge a little bit, l little bit, please. Yes. but it's interesting to see kind of all of that come together because even with Anna reaching out to Chase, I'm like, you went from focusing on Britt and trying to figure out this whole pier situation, and out of all the detectives and out of all the precincts, Joe Chase. That was just weird. she asked him about him being demoted. He explained and did not apologize. Yes, I.

Did my own investigation because I thought that the PCPD wasn't doing their job correctly when it came to Willow and I would do it again. And she's like, how am I supposed to trust you? Because I love the job. And then she's like, I want to make you a detective again and I want to pair you with Dante. And I'm like, he deserves to be demoted and he needs to stay there for a minute so he can recognize authority.

You are a police officer, protect and serve is supposed to be your mantra, not protect and serve Willow. And you still on that case of anytime anybody says anything bad about Willow, it's a conspiracy to take her down. But when we saw the previews for this coming week, she asks him, just stay quiet. As in, I'ma run with Michael's kids, don't say nothing. And as Chanelle pointed out, that's a test.

Are you really thinking that people are doing her dirty, or will you really do anything she asks? Yeah, and at this point, when it comes to Willow, she's a loose canon. Yeah. and it's also one of those things where while she tries to blame Michael for all of her problems, he he's not focused on her. If anything, he's focused on Deception. Right. Because with the exit.

Of Maxie. They wrote out Kirsten Storm's character and shipped them Spinelli. James is gonna go and her daughter to Australia. Out of all the places. Now, if I'm not mistaken, the jackal is an IT guy. Can't you do that anywhere? And why can't we just find another Maxie? We've done it before. If you don't want Kirsten to come back because of her personal issues.

That she's having to deal with, let her live her life. But that's a legacy character. Why can't we have another Maxie? I don't get it. Like, we need to address the Cassius situation. We need to address Lulu being stupid enough to think that Nathan would want her, as opposed to trying to work things out with Maxie. And I want Maxie to address that with Lulu. I told you that.

Something was off with Nathan because he would never do that to me. Yeah, it's like I love Nathan. How dare you but nothing? Right, but we don't get that. And and even with James, we still had the I guess guest role being. Yeah, because something happened to the other James. He had like an accident or something. Like he already Yeah. But it was just so sad because I'm like, I'm not gonna see old James before he leaves. Nope. And the way that it was such a

Turnaround because he couldn't have that time to really be mad at Cody because we had to wrap this up quickly. So luckily, you know, the new Colt that's gonna be on the farm. Gonna be named West. Is West. And he's like, for me. And Cody's like, yeah, buddy, it's for you. And you know, can I send you pictures and all this other informational stuff? It was emotional. It was sad. But then I'm like, we can't zoom with them. We can't FaceTime. He can't get Well, he said he would. He said he would.

Again, you know how they say sure and then the characters will never often never land for the social. I feel like if we never get another Maxie, we're gonna have James come back in like a year as a teenager. Ooh. I wouldn't be opposed. Either that or the daughter. Yeah, because every so often I like seeing Spinelli too. Like really is it Georgie'll come back? 'Cause she was already on like on the verge, if not thirteen, but eleven to twelve. So she can come back as a high schooler or college bound.

I decided to go to NYU and I'm gonna stay Port Charles. So yeah, make it make sense as long as we do it and then like continue on. Speaking of trying to make things make sense, what's in a name? Well, if your name is Desmond Robinson Robinson Ashford, then that name holds a lot of weight because you are doing a lot of heavy lifting by bringing your parents back together and at least to name you and to leave the hospital and possibly let Curtis.

Sleepover. Well, she decided no. Exactly. You need the you need to call first before you come over. My confusion is why Isaiah seemed to have taken offense when they announced the name that the parents, Curtis and Portia, came up with for their son. Like he wasn't happy that he wasn't in on it or consulted. I'm like, sir, you have no skin in this game. These

are the parents. So why would they be like, Isaiah, you good with that? Like it ain't about you. It's gonna be an interesting plot point in the storyline throughout. Once we get to that court case. I I think at this point we we know Isaiah is plotting or at least praying, if you will, that Curtis is gonna be going away for some time. yeah, 'cause he's so excited that he didn't take the plea deal. He's like, he just want to go to jail, obviously.

And with that, we also have Jordan. her face is healing. She could get reconstructive surgery if she wants, but like you said, it's still healing. So she consults with Michael, who went to a burn specialty center through the WSB. Brennan hooked that up for him because he was dating Carly at the time. But

I don't know if they do cuts and bruises. But apparently Sidwell offered that to her when he wanted her to help him after he had been arrested. And she turned it down. But Michael was like, if I can make some calls and see if I can get you in there, if you want to go there to see if they can do anything for you, I'll do it. Yeah. Again, one of those storylines where I'm like, we need to wrap this up again. Yeah. Don't really care. You all were at fault.

Yep. It's keep it moving. And like you said, Michael is now on the Deception train because Maxie sold all her shares to him as opposed to Tracy or Lucy. So now he's part of the Deception team and he has said, I'm my own thinker. I'm not here to glob on with Tracy as a Quartermaine or to care about you, Lucy, as the

Inventor of Deception. It's like, let's make this money and I'm here to make this company work. I don't care about y'all's little squabbles. Feelings. Yeah. It ain't about it ain't about feelings. All right, should we move on? Yeah, because again, other side from my boy Gio and finding someone else flirting with and there really isn't yeah, Charlotte has a crush. You ain't got a chance, chick, but it's funny to me. Yeah, because it's like Gio and Emma.

my god, yes. I'm just glad that they've gotten Charlotte looking away from her cousin. Yes, that's the only thing I gotta say about that one. Yes, let's come. I mean, at this point, bring James back just to give her another love interest. so now let's go to LA, where civil war has officially been declared. More of like sibling war, if you will. True, true. So RJ and Will get into a fight.

again at Bikini after the live stream launch of the Couture Line by Eric Forrester. Which, what is your opinion of the ensembles? Because I would say that the jewelry is a little bit more fetching than the plain colors. They weren't striking. They were just the dresses just didn't move me. They were very sleek.

But they weren't and I guess if that's what Couture is supposed to be, that was right. The only one I liked was the fringe one. I really liked the fringe dress. Well, I think in the world of the whole fashion fight, I I gave it to the Forresters. And it's not even just because it's a legacy. It was colors, it was concept. However, I will give to Logan, or at least Hope, by Logan, was the amount of d dresses or I

I guess outfits together. Yeah. and then with what they were trying to do to have people in an audience and everything else. Forrester, it felt rush, and I'm like, How does it feel rushed when we pushed it back? And we were gonna do it in the first place. And and again, so I'm like, So you brought all those people because they already had to go home, it was in a closed showroom, lights pitch black, you weren't even in there because you all were in the office. Yeah. And it was like maybe three models. It was much colder, it was colder.

The emotion wasn't there. I'm like, what was the theme of this one? I knew I was in Barcelona when it came to Logan's, But I would have worn some of the outfits though. I love the fringe one. Yeah. And the jewelry did look good. Yeah, it popped for again. Electra did her big one because this was the first line that she did by her. Solo. Yep. So she looked one for her versus anything that Shauna has done thus far. So we do the fashion show. It

Gets received well online, although people were confused by the fact that it was not done in front of an audience. And then a reporter is sent to talk to the Forresters. Eric Forrester, of course, takes the mic, and all they want to know is reaction about the Logan fashion show. And he pops off, and it's like, Logan is just a knockoff.

They steal just like Spectra used to do in the day. Sure did. Katie is a liar and a cheat. Deke is a decent designer, but still got so much work ahead of him. He just went off. Went off to the point where Steffy and Ridge had to pull him away from the reporter. Yeah. And the worst thing to do is to do that, knowing that you're going up against.

A wannabe fashion house that actually is a publication place. So of course I feel like that reporter was a plant. But I don't know. Bill hasn't admitted it, but it feels like that. I mean, even for e Entertainment New Like they they want to be messy, but you would think that he would be ready for this. He either you have to be prepared and planned for it, or it's one of those things like was this a dementia moment? Or was this like a onset from the health issues he had before?

Because he really did lose it for a moment. He's like, I was just so angry. And it's like, no, it's a issue. You, sir, are a designer, but you're not in charge of anything anymore. That part. And it should have been Ridge or Steffy or both. If there was a question about the designs, then we can direct them to Eric. But you are not the spokesmodel. Meritus at that. How many mess ups are you gonna do for this corporation?

With the whole jumping from Forrester to Logan, now this pop off during the interview. Sir, I'm so done with you. But then he's not done yet because they go to celebrate at Bikini. And Will and Deke go to celebrate at Bikini because they're like, We did good too. We don't care. Although Will is in his feels about the way Eric was talking to Smack about his mama. So

He sees Electra because Electra and RJ went with Eric because he wanted a martini. So they're in Bikini and Will is just mesmerized because Electra's there and she sees him and she's like, gosh. So she goes to get drinks. Should have said RJ, but whatever. And he's like, Electra, you did such a good job with your jewelry line. She's like, We can't talk about this. We can't talk about this right now. Eric is right there. He's like.

I don't care. I love you. I know you love me. And I know you miss me. And we just need to go somewhere else and talk. And I know we can make this work. And then Eric sees and he's like, Electra, I told you. And then RJ comes over as well and he's like, stay away. Spencer's and Forresters don't mix. And Will Spencer is like, shut up. And he tells Eric, look, old man. And it's like, gosh, now we disrespected elders. And

They do it a push-in match, RJ and Will. One thing leads to another. And Will is got this violent streak the last couple weeks. Really has. And he swings for RJ for what have been the third attack. He really would have. And he ends up clocking Eric, who goes down for the count. Huge bruise. Look, and if you didn't know before his age, an 80-year-old many. 80-year-old man. I didn't know how old he was.

And now we do. You attacked an 80-year-old man who had the whole side, the whole side bruised up. And they were like, we need to take him to the hospital. You know he almost died last year. my goodness. And all Will can keep saying is, I ain't mean to hit him. I didn't mean that. You know I would never hit Eric on purpose. And Electra's just like, You scare me. You just keep doing these attacks and I we will never be together.

Never ever. I can't be with a man who I hear your words and they mean a lot, but then your actions are so much more violent. I can't be a part of it. Look, and through all that, you also had RJ when his sleeveless attire was like, you know what? What was holding him back was the shoulders weren't loose. He was like, you what you just did to my grandpa? Boop, boom, bink, and hit. Now that he had finally got his hit back. The netted sweater vest was what was needed. So the shoulders was out. He had to like.

Like reload reload, kinda like Henry Cavillan like

So he got his hit back finally, knocks the boy down, and they drag Eric away, and Eric is like, Your apologies mean nothing to me. You're a Spencer. Terrible, just like your dad. Stay away from Electra. And so they leave and Will's head in hand, just upset. And of course, Dylan is there. I know you didn't mean to do it. I believe in you, Will. He's like, shut up. And so he leaves and he's so upset.

And then Deke texted Katie and she's like, my God, because she's all upset because of the interview that Eric did. And she's like, the words, the words he was saying about me. Does he really feel that way about me? I can't believe it. I always thought of him as a father figure. And I don't know where this is coming from. Really? You don't know. she goes to his money. She goes running to Will's house and she's like, You hit Eric.

You hit an 80-year-old man who almost died last year and has health issues. You hit Eric. He's like, I was aiming for RJ, Mom. How many times do you have to beat that boy down? Violence is never the answer, and I can't believe I raised a son who would be so quick to hit people. And I'm thinking like, you could raise the son like that because his daddy he is daddy's son. Yes. He is a Bill Spencer knockoff if ever.

And Will is like, I didn't mean it. I didn't mean for this to happen. You gotta believe me. She's I believe you, I believe you. But you have messed things up with me and my sisters. How am I supposed to? That's Donna's husband. What am I gonna do? I don't know how I'm gonna make this right, but I'm gonna go try. And she goes over to Eric's house. Don't do it. He just got home. They got ice on him. Donna is devastated. honey bear, they trying to kill my man.

She's got ice on it. She's like, we need to take you to the hospital. He's like, I'm good, but next time. I'm like, next time. Sorry. He's gonna kill you next time. Stay down. Yes. So RJ has blamed himself since I hadn't have messed with Will. And Ridge is like, why did you? How many times do we have to tell you that Will is not stable? He is quick to ignite and attack. Yep, and they looking at Electra. You started this. You know, it's yes, I know what started all this.

We done told you. Now you know for sure that we were right. Will Spencer and all Spencer's are bad news. And RJ is like, Well, I got I got my lick in. She's like, Well, that's great. But no more. No more violence. And Katie walks in because we don't lock doors. Mm-hmm. And she's like, I'm completely agree. Let's just let bygones be bygones. And Brooke is like, Absolutely not. This man is sitting here with a

T-bone on his face because your son can't keep his anger in check. Yes. So you out the family. You out. And she's like, now see here. He's like, you go extreme. Like that. Right. Mafioso style. You are out of the family. I said what I said. Yes. And so she's like, let me talk to the reasonable sister, Donna. What in the world? Help me make Brooke see that this is out of line. No.

No, I almost messed up my marriage because of you. I should have told. I should have told from the beginning. Honeybear was mad at me. Kind of glad he probably got knocked out because now he needs some loving. But no. How could you? This is not what Logan sisters do. And they were just like, you out. You were never welcome back at this home, the estate. You are a Spencer now.

And you took my daughter. So be a Spencer. Now let's break down though, because we've been saying this on this podcast for months. How Brooke calculated breaking Katie down because what did she use? The guilt of what would our mother and Storm What I tell you. No better way to

Literally stab Katie in the heart than to remind her that she wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for Storm. And I was more vindictive with mine, like, I wish Storm hadn't lost his life for you to live. But she did be like Storm is looking down on us like, ugh, Katie, disappointment. Yes. And Katie is just like, she runs to Eric. Eric, I'm about to lose my sisters. Tell.

Them the truth. Tell everybody in this room that you told me that at the end of your show with Logan that we were gonna be hand in hand at the end of the walkway. Rise up on the catwalk. Yes. And Eric was like, Donna, take me upstairs. Katie was like, go on and do like you did last time. Don't say nothing. Don't run nothing. Just run it. And I'm like, if he did it before, he'll do it again.

And Ridge was like, I know you ain't yelling at my daddy. I know you ain't hollering at my father. Your son, your look, your punk son done. Everybody was a punk. So I just wanted like Katie, if this is how we're gonna do it's like we done

Should have prepared. And now that it has like come to light, and it's like, now you gotta go back to Spencer and look around and be like, are these the people you want to be connected to? Because Thanksgiving, I don't think, will have you an invitation. This is your family now. That's what Brooke was like. That's your people. That's your people now. And you are never allowed back here. Get out, get out. And she was crying on the stoop - like she really thought she's like, so I took Eric from you, so I took Hope

This is what's gonna break us. We're family. Family don't do family like that, sis. Like, you done forgot what family was. Donna said, all you cared about was your cute little new company. And you threw real family to the wayside. Let's see what Bill, Wyatt, Liam, and Hope and Deke can do for you. Cause I mean, Brooke was like, Forrester is family. Forrester takes family seriously. You lady.

You ain't allowed here no more. So the F in family. Yes. So now Katie's going to have to accept that. And honestly, Ridge, you was threatening charges. I it now, if it was me, I'm using this beat down as my advantage. Do y'all want to wear clothes that were made by such violent people?

I mean the son of Katie Logan attacked my son, not once but twice. And on his third attempt, they beat down an 80-year-old man. You want that in your closet, do you? Or do you want the sound, foundational Forresters Don't go with the convicts of Logan, because they go into jail. I'm suing. I'm suing. I'm I'm I'm calling the cops on this.

But I mean, if that's what you feel comfortable with, you can live with it. I can live with it. But Yeah, he did swing on Bill, but again, even being called dressmaker, he ain't never got to this level. Like it's bad. It's bad. And I'm so sad that they made Will attack an 80-year-old man. He ain't been right since he got them ears pierced. He ain't been right. I think it's like you knew that we were kind of rooting for him to begin with. This and now you got me sighed, even though Electra still didn't.

Step up to the plate. It's like, say what you mean, mean what you say. And it's like these faraway longing looks. It's like if you're not gonna be with him, set that boy free. Because if not, he gonna do it anyway because you have Miss Dylan waiting for her shot. And now she at least got a little taste of it. Now here's what's gonna happen. I feel this year, something's gonna happen where somebody gonna be hurt and it's gonna take a Spencer to help a Forrester or a Forrester to help a

Spencer in a medical crisis or something of that caliber. And it's going to be the kick in the pants that Electra needs to come to grips with I love Will. And I'm not gonna let any Forrester keep me away from the man that I love. But what's gonna happen is Ms. Dylan, who was like, I'ma get you tonight. I'm sorry. I mean I know you sad she put it on him, and then he was like, I just don't mean nothing.

Ready for This is what I'm saying. You slept with a man who just surrendered. He was not seducing you. He surrendered. He was like, it don't mean nothing. And if you wanna take my shirt off, go ahead. He was not feeling it. He was not feeling. He was like, if you want to kiss on me, go on and kiss. Let me pick you. I know. I'm gonna put you on the counter. I was Y'all eat there, but

How much you wanna bet that once Electra comes to her senses, realizes that she needs to stand up for what she wants, once she goes, it's gonna be like Luna all over again. I think I got Miss Dylan pregnant. Another one. Sir, you getting everybody pregnant but me. What are we doing? Yeah, he definitely didn't wrap it up. And it also goes back to after all is said and done, was this worth it? Because you you say you love Will. You still.

Talk, shop, and talk about your relationship with RJ, yet and still you can't talk to Will because it's family. So which one is it? Because if RJ is family, but he's still trying to fight your battles because he wants you, which side is truly the best side? And not just that, I love that Miss Dylan is like, I've tried with Electra. I'm like, every time they have a fight, you go running to Will! You don't check on Electra like that. And now we got her her new friend, Jessica. I'm like, keep

Keeping egging her on. I'm like, Jessica came out of nowhere and has been a better friend to you than anything. I've seen you be to Electra. She came on her day off. I missed it. Yes. I was like, you ain't even been a best friend to Electra. You have been waiting in the wings for her to keep messing up. That's what you've been doing. So I have a fear that they are gonna get back together, Electra and Will.

And Miss Dylan is going to mess it up. If not, she look Electra at least is gonna find out that she done sampled her, sampled my buff. Well, I think that's gonna be next week that she's gonna find out. yeah. I think so. Just like Sheila does not understand why Steffy won't give her a chance. It's like I shot you and my son. You can't get over this. just gonna Already I am. All I gotta do is say it. I signed them divorce papers.

Are you holding me down? Eight toes down. I'm trying to be. I can't be great. I just wanna see my son. And my grandson all the time. Like, madam, if you don't know why Steffy is anti-you, I can't help it. He said, speaking of kicking families out, Taylor, it's like you have one more, one more strike left in you before it's two strikes and you're out. You're gonna be with the Spencer if you keep playing.

Cause Deacon was like, I don't appreciate the way they were talking smack about my son. I was like, sir. Small. I suggest. So we just had an assault happen at your establishment. Calm down. Mm, don't make me shut this place down before it gets off the ground. it was so bad we almost forgot about it-Young and the Restless.

God, I forgot about Young and the Restless. Exactly. And a lot of people didn't. Even though it is up when it comes to viewership with like that demo of like 18 through 49, which is like, we're watching. Legacy it is, but what I'm watching was hard to watch. The problem I'm having right now is the aimlessness of two legacy offspring characters. We can't seem to get a handle on Devon's Rage.

He mad at everything at every time. He can't stand Cane Understandable, but just angry. He hates Billy. He mad at Lily all the time. He just walking around this angry black man every 10 seconds. And he even told Ashley, who tried to talk to him, I can't express what my feelings are. Well, sir, maybe you need to talk to a professional. Yeah.

Between him and Billy, you are the son of the late John Abbott and Jill Abbott, and you suck, sir, because you can't let Chancellor go. Now he's convinced that there is a secret that Jill has hidden from him for years, and that's why she doesn't want him part of the company. What? You're like okay, National Treasure. Like slow down. And the way that it

It brought crackhead energy, and usually that's reserved for Nick, who finally admitted he needs to go to rehab. Even though we told you from the giddy-up. He done told you this was gonna work. But with Billy, it's like you hopped on a plane to go to London to try to work it out with your mom. Yes. I don't even know if you stepped down across the pond because it's like you came back and was that the same day? Like the way Sally was talking, she's like, ooh, I have weeks to tell him about her big news, which was selling off the whole little part of Newman media that was.

was Spectre Charles. Yes. And he was like, I got time. And next thing you know, you hear the door. And I'm like, no, you don't. And he was like, Well, you know we got into it. Well, you were getting into it before. Like what you couldn't take a nap. You couldn't like drink your sorrow. Like real what yeah, you I mean you are sober. I guess it's hard. But it's like geez Louise, you couldn't make it work with your mama after trying to

Extend this olive branch and then you go to Cane like, I'm ready. I am ready to be on a team. I wanna sign up for this because you know what? I think that Jill is hiding something and you probably know you probably know, but I don't know. And Cane is like, I can't hire you to fill a position as great as research and development with this energy And he's like, People warn me about you, dog. Get it together. We trying to build something great here. Now stop believing that Billy can

Follow the straight and narrow, because he can't. He has proven this time and time again, and I'm tired of it. It is exhausting to watch both of these gentlemen and it's draining. And you need to either help Devon figure out what the hell is wrong with him and his anger issues, and give Billy an actual purpose. A purpose that means something. Otherwise,

Just get em off my screen. They are like, look. And it really doesn't help because when both of them are interacting with Cane and he's so cool, calm, and collected. Yes. And they both come with different angry energies that are frantic and manic, it's like, ooh. Because even Devon said his quiet part out loud. He's mad that Lily got back with Cane. He's mad that Cane is in a position of power at Chancellor. He's mad that Cane hired Holden, who's Lily's half-brother, and through it all.

He wished that Lily had just dissolved Chancellor into Winters. And I'm like, there it is. Say that. Maybe that's what you're upset about. Yes, that she did not give you access to your grandmother's company. And that from the beginning, it was always left to Cane. Maybe you've been mad about that all these years. But let me know. That your grandmother left you $2.2 billion, but not Chancellor.

'Cause that was the one thing Cane said that made me laugh. He was like, Two point two ain't enough for you. Billion ain't a good enough. I'm leaving. No. What wait. You ain't gonna answer that. I said I'm leaving. Okay. Don't have to deal with this. And it's like you approached him. Wait, I ain't nobody telling you to sit down. I'm like, for and it got so bad that you even had Ashley, who's been away for so long, trying to talk to Abby and be like, Maybe I'll talk to Devon. You okay? You doing anything? You

And we know she ain't okay. She seeing a shrink right now. Look, maybe she could help through what look, what I've learned how to deal with these techniques. I can show it again. Share your wisdom. It really wasn't. Speaking of sharing wisdom from one crazy shrink to another.

Just Jack's finally home, but Diane now is like, no, no, we can't rest easy because now that Markham on the loose, he might come after us because his narcissistic plan was finally unveiled and he worked with Patty and I bested him, but he still wants me. I was willing to do almost anything to get free. But now that I did it on my own terms, he might come after us. But who can we go to to maybe get some answers, if not him?

Maybe Alan? Just maybe? I mean, he ain't doing nothing. You know, he was, you know, I saw books from Martin, and I feel like it was around that timeline that Alan was pretending to be his twin because, you know, he killed. But let's go and try to check. And all of a sudden, through through all this, who do we send in for the mission? Traci did volunteer. But she also let it be known that she has been getting communication from him.

Since he went to jail. No, she didn't write it on. No, but she did accept him letter. She did accept it and read him. She was like, I'm the best person to get the information you need. And they set up a Zoom, and he is hilarious because he's like, that guy, Markham, he is an amateur. He narcissists and blah blah blah.

Kyle is in the room, Diana's in the room, Jack is in the room, but he can only see Traci.. And she's like, don't make a sound because I don't want to scare him off. And all of them are like, I know you lying. Well like Traci, well, you don't even have a real license. Well, that's not the point. I mean, I I'm I know more than he ever could. I'm like, what? It's like it was your brother who's If I had any doubts about you being crazy, you just solidified him for me. And so he's like, I do know about Dr. Markham.

And he was friends with my late brother. And I ended up having to pretend to be friends with him as well. And I do know that he's to go to a summer home. Okay, where is it? Can't tell you that until you do me a favor. And she's like, I'm sorry. I I don't owe you anything. You're supposed to be making amends. It's true, but it would be a great

gift to me if you would do me the small favor, because I love you and I wish that I I'm doing everything I can to try to make up what I did to you. Show a faith gesture. Correct. And all I need is for you to come see me. She's like, I'm seeing you now. No, no, no, no. It's not the same because the doctor who's supposedly treating me is monitoring this call. You think she's not gonna monitor when you come to the prison? Okay, crazy.

And unfortunately, Traci says yes. And he's like, that's awesome. Okay. And then she hangs up on him. I'm like, but did he give you the information? No, they gotta get it in person. And through that, I'm like, okay, so now we're starting this up again. So it's still not over. Patty's put away, but now our focus is on something else. And remember, with Josh stepping down, I'm like, how long are we running out this storyline? Because I was hoping, at least by the fall, that.

We'd have something new and and moving on. Yes. But we just heating up for August at this point. Please don't reheat these nachos. I just don't need another crazy psychiatrist on the loose. Just well, and Alan was like, I think the Abbott should stay away from shrinks. I'm like, good gosh. Good gosh. Then we have What's going on with the Newmans? Come on. The Newman Like we said, Nick is just cock blocking because.

Phyllis has fallen for my boo Matt. And they, you know, Matt is like, I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving. And Nick goes to his father, and Victor is like, he can't go until I he figures out what Cane is up to. I'm not letting him leave. And he goes to the athletic club and sees Phyllis making out with Matt at the bar. And

That was all it took. I think any progress he's made on the drug front went out the window. Because he was livid. He was like, How could I know I didn't see what I saw. I know I didn't see what I saw. You are not kissing the most evil human ever created. I can do what I want. She's like he's better now. What are you talking about? Any minute now, he could kill us all. And poor Matt is like.

I'm I'm better now. I'm a good man. She can see it. Why can't you? He's like, You're supposed to be smart. Phyllis, you're supposed to have sense. And she's like, You can take your judgment elsewhere, my guy. And she's like, No, better yet, we'll take it elsewhere. We're gonna take it to my room. And they was about to get down and dirty. Home girl had her top off. She all over Matt. And who is banging on the door like he the police? Phyllis, open up I really want.

To end this episode like that, but then for Friday's episode, don't even get to see any result of it. I just saw him pop up at the Newman Ranch. I'm like, wait a minute. So he he gave up. And he said, I banged on the door, and I can only guess what they were doing. I'm like, you you know, it's okay. And then he sees Phyllis at Crimson Lights So how was your night with Matt? I know it was nasty. He's like, wait, what? Wait a minute. I thought you had brains, I thought you had sense.

That's why nobody loves you. He was like, and I care about you, but I don't care no more. And she's like, Are you on that ish again? He's like, if I want Matt to leave, you know what? Maybe you should leave with him too. I'm like, She's like, I ain't going nowhere. You take your you and your horrible friend out of town. Like what? And and through all of this, it's like, okay, man. Okay. You don't need to go get help. Yeah, like Victoria trying to help. Even Sharon is like, are you

And he is leg is flying up and down and he's sweating again and and he gets a text from the drug man. Sir, you did not block that. my gosh, I thought the same thing too. I said, we're not supposed to keep an open line of communication with your dealer. Nicholas, that should been the first person that you blocked. I cannot believe. I was like, did you just get a text? I'm glad you didn't respond, but why did it go through?

You need anything, dog? I'm here. I'm like, the drug dealer, checking in. Stop. Just stop. So hopefully, we are sending Nick to rehab because he is no good to anybody, especially his blind mama. my gosh. Look, the bandages are off, but unfortunately, the blindness continues. She can't see nothing. And she got herself ready for the appointment. She asked for somebody to be in there with her, which was Victor. They took the bandages off, and she's like,

It's all blackness, darkness. And the doctor said this could be the case. Your ocular muscles are still healing. it may come back in a week, may come back in a few months. We don't know. But don't believe that you're blind for life. And she's just convinced. I can't do this. I'm alone in the darkness. And Victor is just, so sad. He's like, My baby can't see. Yeah.

It was crazy. And from all the things that they're dealing with with that, you have Adam and Chelsea on the outside. my gosh, because Adam decided a battle with my father just isn't worth it. I want Newman media back. My dad wants Newman media back. Why don't I just buy it from y'all? And Sally's like, how are you gonna explain to your daddy that you've given me money for something that he told us

To our face that he wasn't willing to pay for. Well, he's not willing to pay for it, but I can. And I don't have to tell him. Well, he's gonna wonder how you got it back. Mm-hmm. And Chelsea is mad at Adam because she's like, we didn't discuss this. We discuss everything. Y'all ain't even married. She really is happy being in this like common law marriage situation. So y'all ain't even a couple couple. You couple on words only. And

She's like, you needed to have consulted me about this. And I'm like, but didn't you tell him a couple weeks ago that you wanted the company back? He's getting the company back. But he does not want Sally, who is pregnant and possibly gonna get married soon, supposedly by October, to have to deal with his vengeful father. So he, the lesser of two evils, And she's like, fine, if you wanna do it, I'll support you. So Audra is not interested. She's like, something, right? What you doing?

What's going on? And he's like, I'm just trying to keep y'all from my father's eye line. Let's just do it my way. And apparently they took the deal. Audra still is not comfortable with it, but she gon' trust her boss. And Sally is on the phone with Audra and she's like, How you gonna tell Billy that the gift that he gave you, which was Newman Media is now

gone and we made a profit like how you and then gave it to his arch nemesis and yes how we gonna how you how we gonna spin this I got weeks weeks on weeks to come up with a plan key in the door baby I'm home I'm sorry door slams what are you doing here so she hasn't told him yet but she claims to Audra I'ma tell him when we go to lunch. Mm-hmm speaking of having lunch or a meal together what you've been saying for

Few weeks now actually transpired and it I wasn't too opposed to it. Victoria and Kyle. And it was one of those things we're like, you know, we need to have conversation outside of dealing with our families. Let's tell secrets. I said, secret? What kind of first date icebreaker are we having here having a meal like this? It was never have I ever.

All I'm saying is there seems to be more opportunities for Kyle and Victoria to hang out together. That's all I'm saying. Cougar roar. But when if that comes to fruition, Lord Victor, whole Claire. Nick and Jack, what are we doing? Diane, shut it down.

It has gonna be messy. It'll be messy, but in a good soapy way.
