What to Watch Next Week
Heather’s focus will be split next week on BTG. She prides herself on solving her problems on her own. That’s what Heather (Ashley Jones) basically told Joey (Jon Lindstrom). He delegates, she does what needs to be done herself. And she has a ruthless reputation because of it. First, there’s her Smitty (Mike Manning) problem. The investigative reporter won’t drop the Red Market plasma ring story.
His articles are gaining attention that Heather doesn’t want. In fact, his editor is submitting them for an award. Look for Heather to toy with both Martin (Brandon Claybon) and Smitty. We’re wondering whether Heather’s strategy for messing with Martin and Smitty will be psychological.
After all, nobody knows the identity of The Impaler, so she can basically do anything. And she will undoubtedly have another run-in with Andre (Sean Freeman), who is set, once again, to confront his past.
In other DMV and Fairmont Crest news, Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) continues to face her unresolved trauma as a mystery fuels old fears for the handbag designer and social media influencer. Anita (Tamara Tunie) wavers on a big opportunity. And Elon (Malachi Malik) has disturbing news for Jacob (Jibre Hordges).
Meanwhile, Carlton (Robert Christopher Riley) has found himself on the wrong side of a love triangle. Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) and Kial (Greg Vaughan) are now exclusive. But there’s a chance that something good will happen for him when he has an unexpected run-in. Finally, we can’t forget about Hayley (Marquita Goings). She’s up to no good. According to the teasers, she will hassle Naomi (Arielle Prepetit)…while hustling Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett).
