Loveday Writing

Last week’s episode focused on the fallout of Nick’s secret being revealed to the guys. This episode shifted focus to the fallout with Rachel. Despite my stated hatred for Rachel in previous reviews, I have also admitted that it’s obvious that the writers have chosen to make her a permanent character. Due to this choice, the writers have focused on

So this episode explored the ramifications of Nick’s secret coming out, just as I thought it would, or at least with the guys.

Although the reveal didn’t happen in this episode, thanks to the ads, we know it’s coming. I wasn’t really sympathetic towards Liz, although I feel she was the most honest and interesting character in

So the first episode of Season 5 of House Husbands just aired, this means that the show has been on the air for five years. So how do I feel about this episode, as well as how House Husbands has evolved over the last five years? To be honest, I feel a little mixed. I’m a little disappointed that the
