See I personally loved the delay in revealing Sheila as the mother because I was enjoying their disgusted faces while Sheila had Finn on her arm with that devilish smile. I do agree with you about Mary though. I want this return to be long term for Sheila which I think could help the show. Ideally I’d write out Wyatt, Flo, Liam and Hope and use that space for Mary, Little Deacon, Rick and Maya. Also, did we ever see Diana as more than a baby? Could Finn possibly be Diana with a retcon on the baby daddy? Just to tie it up in a nice bow and leave Sheila with just the two kids.

I don’t want her back either, but I feel if they can they’ll try. Her HBOMax deal failed and she started talking about the show again, defending the current season and started interacting/following Sonja again. I’m just mentally preparing myself, but hopefully they can develop without her.

@Liberty CityAndy did say Dorinda was “on pause.” I think she’s definitely back. Either with herself or with Bethenny because Bethenny will want an ally. This makes two weeks where WWHL was the highlight and not the episode. This is giving me Dallas flashbacks where the season has reached a point where it seems never ending yet nothing is going on. And another boring event hosted by Eboni?! My goodness. Luann is in Paris and we have all this talk of reunion filming being delayed which makes me think there’s a bunch more episodes and I can’t take it! At least give us some more Bershan to inject SOME fun into things. This is just boring.

I feel like Peyton Place they rushed to cancel and it could’ve been the show to round out their lineup. I also wish Texas had gotten more time but that could just be my bias since the show was creatively good when it ended.

I loved Sheila's entrance with the Finn scenes prior to introducing her to everyone else. B&B doesn't do anything slow, so I won't complain about the whiplash. We all know we better enjoy what we can because it's only a matter of time before Brad loses interest or ruins the storyline. I'll say the first positive is that Kimberlin has really good chemistry with Tanner. Depending on how they explain this and who the father is, this COULD be a good story. It's hard as a Sheila fan to get invested because they never get this character right since her 00 returns to both shows. Another thing I noticed watching is that I wouldn't mind if they went ahead and wrote off Hope and Liam. They had their time, let them go to Forrester International and free up some space for other legacy characters. Felicia has a son out there, why not bring them on? I just realized seeing Hope and Liam that I have absolutely no interest in them and dread the moment they get anotherr storyline.

I feel the exact same way. I don't care about her personal views, I accepted she was going to be Jennifer, but the character has been unwatchable for YEARS. Cady brought Jennifer back to life and came in at a horrible time story wise, but still made the relationships with Jack, Abby and Laura believable.

All the B&B salary talk is interesting! I feel like with Susan Flannery, she probably made more than Moss and also due to her age and how much she worked, she probably had bought property a lot sooner and worked on her savings. Considering he had no chance of booking another acting gig, he should've had a business plan outside of acting to make up for the lack of income. Vincent Irrizary for example is a real estate agent. If he had a backup like that him leaving would've made more sense. I bet he hates that they successfully recast and he'll never have a chance to return. Also, Katherine Kelly Lang has her own clothing line and a store so she's likely set up better than Ronn was and can afford the budget cut.

Christian Gray Snow who does the Slut Pig podcast is who announced this date. He is usually reliable so I tend to believe it. It makes sense now that I've thought about it. With RHOA not filming, it can carry Sundays once Potomac ends until around February when they could likely have RHOA ready to go. Then for Tuesday and Wednesday, they will have New Jersey (can replace New York) and OC (replace BH) available. There's another rumor about New Jersey moving back to Sundays so who knows?! But I feel like we should have the answer soon because regardless of the night, SLC should be announced within the next couple weeks.

@CatI don't think we will see Bershan at Black Shabbat if Eboni has her way. I also found it interesting on WWHL that Andy mentioned the RHONY rumors and Ramona denied that she's holding out. I think it's either Luann or production, but I do believe they delayed it. Of course they can't delay it forever because it'll have to be ready in time for the season to end. BTW, rumor has it that RHOSLC is moving to Sundays and that the premiere date is September 12th. If that's the case they need to hurry up with the announcement. I assumed it would replace New York or Beverly Hills so if the Sunday move is true I'll be surprised. I wonder if they're doing that because Salt Lake City has a shorter run so they can get RHOA out sooner than later, once they start filming.

I feel like either Luann or the producers are behind all this bad press for Eboni. Somebody hired a PR team or private detective and got in her ass in anticipation of the reunion! Some quotes sound like they came from Luann as well. Eboni did an interview on Bravo's instagram where she mentioned that she accuses Luann of being a racist later this season, so I feel like they're DONE DONE. In other odd news, Eboni has been spotted with Ramona and Heather (separately) for dinner recently. She's mentioned becoming close to Heather which I find so odd considering how she tried to do Heather. I feel like they're about to have an explosive reunion that'll make up for this lukewarm season! Also, I'm not sure if yall watched, but Queen Bershan and Queen Ramona were excellent on WWHL! Andy seems in love with Bershan so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her. It was such a good episode and Ramona and Bershan have such good chemistry. I hope next week isn't another Bershan free episode. I just want to see her and Ramona roaming the streets of New York!

It still amazes me they created this Hayden character as a sister to Liz, when Sarah exists. Also to give her a mother when Liz doesn't even have an on screen mother or father? It's like they hate Rebecca Hearbst.

I would let go as many people as necessary to pay for her. Talk about someone guaranteed to shake up your canvas. It amazes me none of the other soaps have cast her. With this, I'm iffy. I love Charles, but I feel like what's the point? I also don't like that he's likely coming on as a new character when he already played a relative of Holly and Holly has a story currently up in the air.

I’m in season 3 and they’ve already written almost every character into a corner and I’m not even halfway through lol. This is the most bizarre show I’ve ever seen. For those who have seen other Tyler Perry shows, are they all written like daytime soaps with this slow ass pacing where one day could be 5-10 episodes? It works binging but I can’t imagine waiting week after week for this

Stacey is overrated! Glad Eileen is back.

I’m so excited Zach Tinker got this! He’s perfect for Sonny and I wanted him to get something acted Y&R screwed themselves by getting rid of him.

I have a vault question. I decided to watch the first 25 episodes on Paramount Plus and I enjoyed it enough to want to continue. When I go to the vault it says Dual English/German, but I don’t know how to change it to English when I’m watching. Can anybody assist me with this?

I feel like the death will be a cop out and will be Steven. Liz Gilles and Michael Michele both have made comments this season to stop asking about Steven because he isn’t coming back. It’ll solve their problem of fans asking for him and technically he is a major character. I doubt it’ll be Liam because he’s Fallon’s love interest and although it *should* be Kirby, they seem determined to hang onto that boring character.

Of course we don't know them so they could be great, but I still say it's a loss not to add Claudia Jordan. Andy said her leaving RHOA was a missed opportunity and she lives in Dallas, is wealthy and successful now and she knows these ladies. I know they interviewed her for season 5 (she wasn't cast bc she got a job in LA), but I don't see why she isn't cast. Hopefully the new ladies are bold enough to get people tuning in. If they can't get it right this show needs to end or move to Peacock. I also think Kary should've stayed over Kameron.

Because we only got the mid season trailer, we went into RHONY blind last night and my god was it boring! I really don’t know how they’ll get another 10 episodes out of this if the pacing remains the same. The one thing that I did note is that Eboni is a hating bitch. The way she did Bershan was childish and messy. Why invite everybody to a party in front of her and say she can’t go? And then to say she isn’t the right type of Black person to go and use covid as an excuse was pure BS. Bershan is a paid cast member so she’d be under whatever covid protocols the other girls are. Eboni is trying to ice her out because she doesn’t like her. I wouldn’t be surprised if Eboni was one of those “there can only be one” girls bad is thinking strategically towards next season. Bershan hasn’t done anything the other ladies haven’t for Eboni to hate her this much.

That’s a fast turnaround, but I like it! Get this out of the way and hopefully it can lead to more things.

If this is successful it’ll be a big deal for soaps. Days is already successful streaming and this, even with a better budget than the daytime show, will obviously be much cheaper than any of their other original shows. Right now Peacock is trying to figure out what works for them. If this gets good views I wouldn’t be surprised to see more from Days. I also think this will wake the other soaps are just looking at the attention this got. Y&R is a lost cause, but it shocks me that with its international success that Brad Bell hasn’t pursued a B&B spin off. Also, for those asking about Pine Valley, I still believe it’s coming. The script was turned in at the end of February. It’s obviously not being developed in the normal time frame that would’ve gotten it on the air this fall. I’m still confident that will get a pilot at the very least.

Now that they’ve announced the Days spin off, it’s more clear why Freddie is saying this now. They didn’t say Will or Sonny is appearing, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what brought this up. Perhaps they want a stronger actor since it’ll be for a streaming service.

Same. I hope the rumors of Peacock adding them is true.

I’ve been saying if these apps soaps wanna survive they need to build their streaming output. This is a smart move for Days and since it’ll use many of their biggest cast members, it’ll get eye balls. Hopefully this goes well enough to develop a proper spin off with a stand alone story! I hope this inspires Paramount Plus to do the same with the Bell soaps and Hulu with GH. Forrester International is literally begging for a spin off

That can't be true because Jackee recurred on the final season, after the spin-off wasn't picked up.
