Christa Pike's "Mean Girls Murders" episode on the ID channel

The ID channel is showing Christa Pike's episode this weekend. It's one thing to know that she was on death row. It's another to hear the literal HORRIFIC details of what she did. Charlie Manson ain't got shit on Christa. She not only cut the throat of her victim but she took a box cutter, cut out part of the girl's skull and then took it back and showed to other people giggling! THAT'S who was on death row!! In a bizarre irony, her botched execution was pretty close to the method and manner of death of her victim.

Holden OUT 🤬

So it looks like Holden's OUT which is a real loss for the show and for fans. here are the details. He was one of the truly watchable male characters on this show that doesn't feel like nails on a chalkboard every time he's on the screen. Of course, instead of him, we get more drug dealer characters with a storyline going absolutely nowhere except in ridiculous circles over and over.

I guess this cycle will never end but I'm going to say it anyway. I'm so tired of the stereotypical, haphazard writing for Black characters on both Young and the Restless and bold and beautiful. They write these characters to be extremely one-dimensional with weak storylines that are dropped as fast as they appear on the canvas.

We don't have to worry about any of the black characters on these shows being nominated for Emmys because they never get meaningful story lines that would ever even remotely demonstrate their acting capabilities and range.

What's the point in recasting for a character you never fully developed??

They're also never integrated into the stories that matter. There were so many opportunities for Holden to have a real storyline. There was the art thug they thought they accidentally killed with Audra. That was a whole storyline for both him and Audra that would have been GREAT! Then there was the storyline with him and Malcolm. COMPLETE THUD. There was no reason why he wasn't given a job at Newman or even working with Phyllis. We know that Winters is where people go to disappear and retire - at least for the Black characters.

I'm just really tired of the black characters being nothing but temporary and sporadic window dressing. Diversity in stories and characters only matters if they are truly woven into the ongoing fabric.

I didn't even realize he was supposedly somewhere in Europe with Malcolm because they just disappeared him off the canvas!

EVERY Black character on yr including Holden is like a fly on the wall that flits in and out often without reason. They never have sustained storylines that anybody cares about. I know there's some folks who are excited about Vivica Fox and Shemar Moore returning but they didn't really return! They just did extended guest appearances. And Vivica's role even though it's more extended is embarrassingly laughable. Her and Holden as a couple is about as realistic and as watchable as Nikki and Billy as a couple! Don't start babbling about Kyle and Victoria because at least the actress who plays Victoria looks like she could be an attractive cougar! That is NOT the case with Nate and Stephanie.

Anyway, that's my rant. I hope the actor gets a much better landing someplace else where his talent will be appreciated as much as his looks.

Nate and Stephanie.😏

By now, everybody has seen the previews for next week with Nate and Stephanie kissing. This is infuriating. That may as well be Nate kissing Nikki newman! It's about as realistic or attractive to watch! There is absolutely no chemistry there whatsoever, and why should there be?? I'm glad that Vivica Fox came back on the show but they should have left her with malcolm. Nate deserves to have a partner that is realistic and quite frankly, black viewers deserve to have at least one other black woman on the show full time with a REAL storyline! Yes, I know Victoria is older than Kyle but at least the actress looks a lot younger and there is genuine romantic chemistry between the two of them. Stephanie and Nate are hideous as a romantic couple. Sienna. Marie. Even Patty's increasingly ridiculous reoccurrences. ENOUGH. Either put Nate back together with Audra who has interestingly become asexual, or bring in a Black woman as a fully developed character and partner for Nate.

Yeah ... I'm NOT feeling Will

I'm NOT feeling Will right now. He's stringing Dylan along as his "always be my maybe" chick. He definitely knows how she feels​ about him while he is pining away for Elektra. YES, Dylan is making herself a COMPLETE doormat but Will is definitely sending mixed messages at this point. With Dylan telling anybody who will listen in town that she is in love with Will, I wish he was a stand-up guy and would tell her that he likes having fun with her but he's still in love with somebody else. Dylan is so stupid that I don't even think she would back away even if he told her that! Still, if he really wants Electra the way he keeps begging her, he needs to be by himself.

How does the song go, "If you can't be with the one you love...then love the one you with!"

To me it's just another sign of immaturity across all three of these kids. If he can't be by himself, he's going to keep ping pong in between the two of them.

When is Katie going to find out about RJ and Elektra?

I'm really surprised that neither Dylan nor Will has said anything about the fact that Elektra was making moves of her own with RJ. She wasn't sitting around the house waiting for Will either. They may not have slept together but they definitely went on dates. And now, RJ is making Electra his muse and creating a whole line for her. Just makes Katie's whole territorial nonsense even more ridiculous.

Besides, who wants their kid to marry the first person they date??

Katie was a COMPLETE Jackass

I really hate the way they are writing Katie as such a complete classist jackass. Every time I see her on screen right now, I want to turn the TV off!

This isn't about whether Dylan should have coached her mother beforehand because we all know she should have! This is about Katie's personal conduct.

She was so rude and nasty meeting Dylan's mom. Granted, I don't know many grown women who would be fangirling another grown woman like that smdh but at the very least, she could have been cordial. Instead, Katie acted like the witness for the prosecution, or better yet the prosecutor herself! She didn't even sit down which was extremely poor form. She never had any intention of breaking bread with them. She came there to be an asshole and she succeeded.

Dylan's mom from Wisconsin 😉😂

"We spent a lot of time in Wisconsin." We know, SAGE, in Genoa City.😂 Nice wink wink in dialogue. Now go check on your other child that has clearly been abandoned by Nick😂

Is that... Kelly Sullivan??

It kind of looks like her but then again it doesn't! I was really hoping that Dylan was going to come from a refined background to put Katie in her place. Guess NOT.

Michael and Matt: missed opportunity

I was watching today and thinking that this show has once again missed a phenomenal opportunity for great writing for its top talent. We all know that Michael really doesn't have a lot of room to be judgmental about Matt. Back in the day, Michael was just as bad as Matt and yet he turned his life around. Now he is the moral pillar of Genoa City 😂 I would love to see them write a closer storyline between these two characters with Michael and Matt 'cat and mousing' each other because game always recognizes game. It would be interesting to see him and Michael have scenes together taking us on the journey of figuring out whether Matt has truly changed or not. Michael is the only one who could really go there and given the extraordinary talent of these two actors, that would be the best daytime TV we've seen a long time.

There's selfish, and then there's Phyllis.

On what planet did this woman think it was even remotely appropriate for her to go see Nick in a drug treatment center because she's looking for her wannabe boyfriend?? On top of that, she had the nerve to get into an argument with him!! I'm so over Phyllis.

As a side note, it's hilarious that ANYBODY can walk up in this luxe drug treatment facility unannounced and unplanned. I guess there's no possibility that they could be carrying contraband!

KYictoria😂

I'm going to go ahead and admit it. I am surprised that I am actually into this coupling!! Unlike Noah and Sienna, I could really see these two together! They do have good chemistry, maybe the best he has had with another actor on the show since Summer.

Devon🙄

Honestly... I hate seeing Devon on the screen and that breaks my heart because I really like the actor. But they have written this character to be so much of a hateful ASSHOLE that he has absolutely NO redeemable qualities that ANYONE should want to see.

We're rooting for a reformed rapist because he's much more likable than the way Devon, the accomplished businessman and loving father, is written. Step back and think about that.

Devon is ALWAYS hateful and judgmental with EVERYONE. Just all around miserable all the time.

And every time a man comes around lily, whether it be a romantic interest or even her own brother, he has to be the judge and jury who always hates EVERYBODY. I'm surprised they haven't put him in Lily together!

It's been less than 24 hours, Carter 🙄

Carter is acting like Daphne has been gone for 6 months! It wasn't even 24 hours! He really is a tool. You can be upset at someone but at least allow for a reasonable grace period before you make choices that you cannot undo. So many people are impulsive this way instead of stepping back and letting cooler heads prevail. If someone truly loves you, they're not going to disappear especially when he knew that she was deeply hurting. Frankly, I felt like he should have gone to Paris with her and taking a leave of absence if he REALLY cared about the marriage.

Questions about Holden

Holden, Holden, Holden. I really want to like this character but I hate the way they write him as such a dope.

  1. Why is Holden torn about whether he will support Lily, his sister or Billy, a stranger?? Yes, this is a new found familial relationship but so is Claire with her family. Claire would play Holden's ass in a heartbeat if her family needed her to do so. She wouldn't think twice! On soaps, families ALWAYS stick together in the end.

Why is the Winters family so different??🤔

  1. Why is Holden asking Claire for family business advice instead of turning to his own mother?🙄 Better yet, he should be having a sit-down discussion directly with Lily.

  2. Why are there no scenes between Holden and his mother?

So many BASIC questions.

Cain meeting with the Abbotts alone

The writers ​dumb down Lily every chance they get and it really pisses me off ‼️

Help me understand why LILY is not the lead on the meeting with the Abbotts?? At the very least, she should be there with Cain. Kane is a little more than her baby daddy right now and an employee of her company. The stakes don't get any higher than losing the company completely. Why would she stay behind??

Victoria would be in that room. Ashley would be in that room. Jill would be in that room. Even Nikki would be in that room.

WHY not Lily??

Recycled storylines

Maybe Stephie shouldn't be with anybody at all! I'm so tired of these recycled storylines every 18 months! Is she pregnant again? I'm sure she is about to disappear for 9 months yet again. I fully support her growing her family but they need to write different story lines concerning her absences. If that's not the case, that makes this storyline with Finn and Steffi all the more ridiculous.

Brooke's dress

That's actually a cute dress! It looks like it could possibly have come from a genuine fashion house 😂

Out with Siena, in with another random 🙄

So here go​ with another random USELESS character, Nick's new love interest. SMH

Can't wait to see what her ulterior motive will be. Guessing it will be something to do with her husband.

And what about Sharon??

I really wish somebody other than Lily Winters in that family could have a decent CONSISTENT storyline.

Glp-1 Prescibers (ongoing)

Looking for the best online recommendations/ suggestions for renewing my Zepbound prescription WITHOUT insurance. Can also go to local providers in the NYC metro.

In between jobs right now so no health insurance coverage at all. I get the meds from Walmart so no problem there. However, my current prescription runs out next month and I cannot afford my regular doctor right now. I tried spacing out the doses to 12-14 days and gained back 5 pounds so I don't want to continue doing that.
