Yesterday, I worked in the morning, and ran errands in the afternoon, but still had enough time to get through soaps, and to binge a couple more episodes of "Paradise":

soaps: DOOL - Joy confronts Alex about getting back together with Stephanie, and gets Alex to admit it though never lets him explain what actually happened, and them kicks him out of her room - it will be incredibly dumb if the show doesn't have Joy leave town over this... The new "Sophia" debuts, and this was even rougher than I was expecting - beyond the new actress clearly being nervous, she has none of the twinkling malevolence of the old Sophia - I would love to know what happened with the original actress, Madelyn Kientz, as she was superior in every way (except for being tiny), and if the show fired her, they're idiots!... Anyway, NuSophia's plan to get a couple to adopt goes up in smoke (and now they seem to be heading in the direction of Johnny and Chanel adopting the baby!). Holly commiserates with Doug III, and Tate catches them... Oh, and the hospital is about to go bankrupt, and Stephanie is trying to prevent that from happening on Kayla's behalf.
    Y&R - Mon's ep. Mostly not that interesting. Victor refuses to accept Kyle, and Claire tries to change his mind. Kyle's son clearly seems to be conspiring to try to get Kyle and Summer back together. Sharon continues to act just as crazy as before (IMO), coming over to Adam's and Chelsea's, pretty much accusing Chelsea of getting back together with Adam, and gushing in an almost unhinged way about Nick.
    GH - Tue's ep. This was decent. After making another public scene, Sahsa throws a drink in Cody's face, and storms out; after that, Felicia talks Cody down. Then Sahsa meets with Jason, and gets him to agree to not to contradict the "Jason is the father of Sasha's baby" story though he demands to tell Danny the truth. Danny finds out where Cyrus is, and publicly confronts him about killing Sam, just as Jason arrives to intervene. Nina tries to convince Willow that Drew is the real problem, and Nina is just about to admit her affair with Drew at the end of the episode (which means she will surely get interrupted before doing so next episode).

Paradise (Hulu) - Ep's #3 & #4. Reddit was all saying how "episode #2 was a letdown, but episode #3 was so much better", but I don't think that was true at all - the best part about episode #3 was giving Sterling K. Brown a chance to shine; but otherwise, I thought it was on par with ep #2. But episode #4 I thought was much better, finally delivering some answers.

So this is a show worth watching?
