New Week, New WinterFest Guest Star
WinterFest is underway. On Friday, beauty and brow expert Damone Roberts made a guest star appearance at the charity gala. On Monday, look for singer, songwriter, and television personality Keke Wyatt to materialize beyond the gates and at WinterFest.
Nicole’s Surprise
When Carlton (Robert Christopher Riley) had a family emergency that took him out of town, Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) had to improvise reluctantly. Shanice (Ernestine Johnson) suggested a blind date. After all, she had someone who would be perfect for her. Look for said mystery date — a Dr. Rollins — to take her by surprise. How does he do that? In related news, Greg Vaughan plays the doctor who becomes Nicole’s date for WinterFest. Find out all about the details.
Vanessa Needs Support, Not Indifference
Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) and Joey (Jon Lindstrom, who’s also doing double duty on General Hospital) have been clashing. She wants Joey to be her date at WinterFest. He doesn’t want to be around all those snooty, judgmental types who look down on a corrupt casino owner like him. Vanessa sees this as a fresh start and doesn’t care if they ruffle feathers.
And, apparently, she doesn’t even care if her kids find out that she has already moved on from their father. She no longer wants to be contained or restricted. She wants to be free.
So, for now, Vanessa’s troubled by Joey’s lack of support. However, she’ll get her way eventually. Meanwhile, Kat (Colby Muhammad) thanks Joey for his unexpected help. Joey is slowly making himself indispensable to the Duprees. And a lingering thorn in their sides.
Scandal Alert
Finally, Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) tells Marcel (Darryl W. Handy) there’s a looming scandal that could rock Fairmont Crest (Find out what Real Housewives of Potomac star, Gizelle Bryant, had to say about her time in the Crest). This could be about what she witnessed from her hotel room. She saw Sharon (Bonita Brisker), the Articulette, open up her door to Vernon (Clifton Davis), the patriarch of the Dupree family.
Leslie, of course, jumped to conclusions and hasn’t really bothered to suss out the truth. Knowing Ms. Thomas, she will, once again, try to use this information to her advantage. Will she blow up Vernon’s world? And if she isn’t going on about Vernon, then what scandal could Leslie be referring to? There has to be a million of them brewing beyond the gates.
