Chris B

Murdered her son trying to kill Steffy.

Not sure if it’s the twist, but just as I predicted, Sheila accidentally shoots Finn trying to kill Steffy. I would like to hope this isn’t the twist or that there is a misdirect, because for one this isn’t shocking and two this is going to upset fans.

Beautiful teaser and smart to start promoting it early instead of just dropping a trailer. I wish they’d do more of these promos.

The queen earned her peach and you can already tell from that trailer she’s going to bring it. I can’t wait to see more of her family! I love a housewife that brings a personal storyline and a cast of characters to film with! Other than Marlo, I’m also excited for Sanya. I know nothing about anything she did during filming, but she seems like an interesting and original casting.

Now I’m watching season five, which I consider the last traditional season of Falcon Crest before outsiders come in for the final four. This is still a good season, but so far I wouldn’t say I’m loving it as much as four. It seems like once again we start the merry go round of temporary characters who soon are forgotten. Morgan Fairchild has started off very promising, but I recall being annoyed as her story progresses. Then you have Ken Olin as Julia’s soon to be forgotten son. My favorite things so far are the Coke/Melissa scenes. I always thought they had good chemistry and I’m enjoying them together. The temptation with Christopher and the schemes from Robin with the baby are fun. I like Melissa this way. She’s slightly devious but not evil or crazy. Chase and Maggie also have more spark. I’m glad they acknowledge what a hot head he is. I do wish Connie stuck around longer and I wouldn’t mind if she got into a relationship with Chase. I feel like the writers this season have given Jane Wyman a lot of fun stuff to do. I like her new love interest and that they’ve dialed back the evil. Margaret Ladd is also carrying every scene she appears in. She comes into this season very strong and confident. I also love her new love interest Dwayne. I hope the later season writers understand her and give her good stuff to work with. The weakest part of the season is Lance and Apollonia. Their chemistry is fine, but to go from Lorraine to this just seems like a waste of time. It took so long to find a strong love interest for him and they threw it away with no apparent plan.

It’s just speculation, but they don’t follow each other on Instagram and never mention each other, despite both having very active and family driven Instagrams. There’s also another woman that Liza posts and says is like a mother to her, but nothing of Susan. Of course everything could be fine behind the scenes, but publicly they seem distant. Maybe Liza just doesn’t want the attention posting her famous mom, it just seems odd since both post so much, but never mention each other.

This is such sad news. I fell in love with him during Covid when Susan would regularly post him cooking on Instagram. A talented and charming man and the love they had was obvious. I hope she’s doing okay and that she has support because she doesn’t seem to be close to Liza. Hopefully this brings them back together.

@Taoboi I was impressed they kept Lisa Wu a secret. I definitely wanted to see her again and she looked GORGEOUS in the trailer. I don’t know why they delayed it, but it’s breaking my heart! I want to see it so bad! Maybe they’re delaying it to give them time to get more Housewives content ready.

That trailer was horribly put together, but I can see a good season and I love the cast. I’m excited to have some All Stars back because NJ and OC haven’t been doing it for me.

One of my first thoughts when the twist was announced is Stephanie returning. If they could get Susan Flannery back, doing some sort of flash forward where she exists and didn’t die would be huge, but the beloved character will probably be someone like Bridget lol. They won’t even spring for Lesli Kay.

I think the new Trina has been absolutely seamless in terms of transition. The hardest way to do a recast is when they jump into a middle of story, so I’m not surprised we haven’t seen some of the traditional elements we’re used to from Trina. She literally said hi and ended up in jail. Plus it’s been less than a week.

Lmao, yes! I feel it’s happened before. I know it has on prime time as I’m currently watching the episodes where Richard accidentally caused his daughters death on Falcon Crest while trying to frame her husband for attempted murder. In general I wish and hope whatever the twist is that it truly reinvigorates the show. Shock twists only work if it’s steeped in character and creates long term complications, which Brad Bell has shown he can’t handle.

What if Sheila has a plot to kill Steffy or whoever and accidentally kills Finn? I feel like Brad would tell an awful story like that.

This twist stuff is so irritating to me. Casey said that this is a bigger shock than Maya being trans and it’s something that hasn’t been done before. How is a character death that shocking?

I agree with both. I think that reason I can overlook the nazi storyline is because I viewed it more like a McGruffin and enjoyed what it did for the characters. This is also the first season when they’ve brought on several viable supporting characters, which makes Lorraine’s exit even more disappointing. Even Anne Archer is another gem, but in typical Falcon Crest fashion, she’s in and out.

I’ve reached the odd part of season four where they randomly wrapped everything up 20 episodes in and pivoted to a new story with new characters for the final episodes of the season. Such an odd choice when you consider how far into the season they were. I also felt like everything was so suspenseful and working well.

Potomac is taking ATL’s place in the schedule since they delayed filming for the reboot. That gave Potomac time to breathe before filming which I think will be good for them.

To elaborate more, Casey said the twist is bigger than the Maya twist and will change the show forever. People have speculated about what it could be, but no real intel is out other than the show saying it’s coming. We don’t even know when it will air.

This is pretty shocking! We’re getting two RHONY’s: a full reboot with a new cast and a Throwback series with old cast members. With some of these shows aging, reboots are going to have to be considered at some point so this makes sense. I hope they find a group that can create magic.

This is only interesting because the show has become so boring. I just find it odd this started about Keemo, who never appeared and is now dead. Like others have said, Susan Walters is serviceable in the role, but I don’t think she was that interesting. The memorable stuff wifi Diane was always with Alex Donnelly for me, so it’s hard to care that much.

I’m now in season four. This is my new work from home binge and I’m having so much fun with it. Season four was the first full season I ever saw of Falcon Crest and I think it holds up well. First, you have a cliffhanger with real stakes. Several major characters died, Angela used it to try and make Chase seem responsible and it even tied into Julia’s death and later return. Dynasty and Dallas could’ve learned a lot about how to commit to a strong cliffhanger. This season is also the first with strong supporting characters with good actors and personalities. Lorraine is fantastic and should’ve remained long term for Lance. She also softens Richard which is nice. Terry is also a great supporting character and Greg Reardon is sexy and has chemistry with everyone. I also love Angela’s sister and wish Francesca had stuck around or visited again. Only strange thing is seeing her sleep with Richard knowing whats to come. I feel like whatever changes they made to the writing team worked. The show is soapier and moves faster, but still has the gothic elements we love. I feel like the dead weight and dull parts are gone as well. Also, rewatching the show, Emma is just a delight. I always wish we had more of her. Margaret Ladd is very underrated and did such a good job of keeping Emma from being a joke. I like that despite her issues and how people look at her, shes still portrayed as a smart woman. She is the heart of the show for sure.

A friend of mine mentioned the possibility of Keemo being alive and I dismissed it at first, but my mind started going and I could see it happening. This mysterious woman could be Mary Jo Mason, or someone else, but there’s a good chance whoever she is could be Allies mom. The entire story has been shrouded in the mystery of these texts, so it wouldn’t surprise me if Keemo is secretly alive and someone is hiding that from Jack. Also, Phillip Moon was doing that tell all interview which was suddenly “rescheduled” (with no new date) the day of.

This whole case is odd. His defense at least from what I read doesn’t even seem to be denying it, but trying to dismiss her claims on technicalities and acting like they don’t matter. I’m not surprised CBS is off the hook, but I do find it very odd Tony Morina still has a job. The lack of publicity is very modern day soap. In the old days I feel like all the soap mags would’ve covered this, but now you don’t see a word outside SON. I also find it odd mainstream media has barely touched it. Just goes to show there is no hope for a reckoning of the soap world.

I just got back from this and it was a really brilliant film and not at all what I expected. Brittany was great in it as well!

She just isn’t a very good actress and was terrible on Ambitions. I feel had they cast that role better it would’ve helped the show.
