I missed the part where we found out what they fought over. She still looked pretty upset with him, I don't think it was nice of the producers to ambush her like that.

Her body language was polite but very guarded.

Mr. Television · 08-30-2016, 11:52 AM

I didn't even know they were fighting.

Anna Karenina · 08-30-2016, 12:19 PM

Now that I can better hear the audio the situation is that she got him some gigs and he never bothered to call and thank her for setting them up.

How insensitive he was not to acknowledge her like that. I don't blame her for still looking peeved.

For some reason I always thought that it was heroin that killed Anissa.

Whitaker looks amazingly like Brian Keith in that still picture. How eerie. He also put on a ton of weight.

I thought that too!

I was like, Jody looks just like a chubby Uncle Bill!

I didn't even recognize Jody at first. Wow. He does look like Brian Keith.

I couldn't help but notice the staged quality of that last video. There just happens to be a camera inside her house filming as she answers the door but she doesn't know he's the one knocking and this meeting is totally spontaneous. Don't think about the fact that there's a camera man there filming it. Don't ask why she doesn't notice there's a camera man already inside her house for a spontaneous surprise meeting she doesn't know is coming.

Some of it may have been expressing real feelings but I couldn't help feel that, to a certain degree, it was a performance.

Right at the end it looked like Kathy was thinking, okay Johnnie you can go home now.

Hazel Anyday · 11-30-2016, 09:28 PM

Yeah, that "surprise" visit was genuine allright.

About as real as Oprah herself. What a phony.

It looks like Jody ate Mr French

Johnny doesn't look well. And that's not a slam against overweight people; he just has never had a large frame and to see him get so heavy so fast is troubling. He's really overweight. But he's a smart guy and hopefully he'll take steps to get back in better shape.

Kathy looks great. I'm happy they came to an understanding, though like Sonny, I had no idea they were on the outs.

Obviously she knew there was a camera man and obviously she knew someone was coming. My guess is that the surprise aspect is they didn't tell her who. They probably didn't want to risk her slamming the door shut in his face or something.
