What Did You Watch?

Sorry. Got distracted today by errands and such.
Yesterday, I watched:
soaps: DOOL - Wed's ep(?). We were spared John stuff today. Instead, they shifted back focus to the "teens". Doug III tries to keep Ari and Holly from finding out that he boffed the former and is sweet on the latter. (They act like Ari and Holly know each other well, but I don't think we've ever seen them as children onscreen together!) Later, Doug III goes to Leo Stark for help with his necklace and illicit loan payback troubles. And apparently Rafe is back (they didn't write him out!) - he will be working for the FBI out of Salem!?!
Incidentally, as I'm off "going into the office" work right now, I have been watching the CBS soaps - B&B, Y&R and Beyond the Gates ("BtG"?!?) - some too ("live"!). "Beyond the Gates" isn't bad, though with a definite AA-character focus. B&B is the same ridiculousness. Y&R is still dragged down by Victor and Nikki, and is now missing Summer.
School Spirits (Pee+) - Ep's #2.5 & 2.6.
    First, the living gang has "dinner" with "Maddie" (really Janet Hamilton in Maddie's body) and Maddie's mom - it doesn't go great, and it goes worse when Simon overtly confront Janet. So they decide to kidnap her!!
    Ghost Maddie is all bummed out that Janet is living Maddie's life better than Maddie did.
    Mr. Martin has taken over the body of Mr. Anderson, which means Mr. Anderson is now exiled with Maddie and the ghosts.
    After kidnapping Janet-as-Maddie, Simon eventually convinces Janet to give up Maddie's body. But then Mr. Martin-as-Mr. Anderson shows up to confront Janet when the others are distracted!
    Meanwhile, when "Maddie" disappears again, Maddie's mom falls off the wagon.
Sins of My Husband (LMN) - This new 2025 flick opens with Juliette Hawk (teen actress who's been in other Lifetime flicks) being held captive by a serial killer. But she manages to escape, around the same time that her mother (Alaina Huffman) and dad figure out who the serial killer is. Upshot: The cops kill the serial killer, and the girl is free.
    Now, because this all happens in the first 15 minutes, and because the focus shifts to the killer's beaten down wife (Hayley Sales) who claims to have known nothing about her husband's serial killing, we know there is more going on here!
    At first, Alaina Huffman's character seems sympathetic to the serial killer's wife, who is being persecuted by the rest of the town. But, again - there wouldn't be a movie here unless there was more going on.
    And it doesn't take a genius to figure out what's really going on.
    So, this was OK. But it was pretty obvious where it was going from the get-go, so there really was no suspense here.
